Children
Evelyn Nesbit gave birth to a son, Russell William Thaw on October 25, 1910 in Berlin, Germany. Nesbit always maintained he was Thaw’s biological child, conceived during a conjugal visit to Thaw while he was confined at Matteawan. Thaw, throughout his life denied paternity.
In 1911, Nesbit reconciled with her mother. Her mother took on the role of caregiver for the child while Nesbit sought out opportunities to support herself and her son.
