In fact, Byrne’s second child with Marston is only six months older than Holloway’s second child with Marston. Marston would go on to have two children with Holloway – and another two children with Byrne. Lepore writes that a third woman, Marjorie Wilkes Huntley, would also live with them all for stints at a time. You see, Marston lived with both Holloway and Byrne (who “married” and was quickly widowed, though Lepore writes that her betrothed was eventually revealed to be a complete fabrication). Lepore defines their relationship more as polygynous, something perhaps best described as akin to Sister Wives. Calling it an “affair” is doing both of them (well, three of them, including Marston’s wife Holloway) a huge disservice. According to Lepore, defining Marston’s relationship with Byrne is difficult, especially in their early years.
