Married and Partnered People in Jonestown |
||||
The following is a listing of Peoples Temple couples in Jonestown and Georgetown at the time of the mass deaths on 18 November 1978. The first section consists of couples in Guyana alphabetized by the male partner. The second section lists people in relationships, only one of whom was inGuyana; it is alphabetized by the person in Guyana, then lists the Statesidespouse. Italicized entries are of those couples which came togetherin the Temple’s later years, including many in Jonestown. The super-scriptednumbers refer to notes which follow the listings. The managers of this site recognize that some of theserelationships were in name only, or that partners were estranged, or that– even if a couple remained married – they may have lived apart in Jonestown. We understand that the Temple records we used (which are among thesources listed at the end of the document) may have shown the face that the people of Jonestown wanted the world to see. For that reason, we ask that if you know of any errors in this listing, please contact Fielding McGehee with any corrections you may have. Thank you. We also recognize that there were numerous gay relationships in Jonestown. After consulting with numerous survivors, we did not feel we would serve any purpose by revealing any relationshis which acurrently-surviving relative might not know about. For that reason, we list only one – that of Deanna Wilkinson and Loretta Cordell – that was well known. This is a decision of respect, not of denial. This research document is original to this site.
