would be in the names of the wives. I can't find any evidence that the two families are related.

Harry Truman had a stillborn sibiling and a brother, Vivian John, who produced no children. His sister also appeared to be childless-no husband is mentioned either.

Harry Truman's daughter, Margaret, however, managed to produce four sons with NY Times writer Clifton Daniel.

Where the names are similar is the maiden name of Truman's wife. She was born Elizabeth Virginia Wallace.

Elizabeth "Bess" Virginia Wallace
Bessie Wallis Warfield

Two women born across the country and probably not related at all. What they had in common was famous husbands.

I read a biography of Edward that said he and one brother never developed normally because of munps that they came down with in their early teens. No chance of him producing children.
