Charles Manson and Leona Musser were married in the Spring of 1959 in California. They had one child, Charles Luther Manson. I had originally thought that Charles Luther's middle name was probably after Charlie's Uncle Luther but in researching I found that Leona's grandfather was named Luther and both her father and brother had Luther as a middle name.
Leona filed for divorce Jan. 6, 1964. The grounds for the divorce were conviction of a felony, by Manson, and extreme repeated acts of cruelty. Manson was served the papers for divorce later in the Spring while imprisoned at McNeil Island, Washington.
