I believe Susanna Salter's middle name is spelled "Medora," not "Madora."
I have reverted the change in spelling of her middle name back to "Madora", because both sources cited in the article state that her middle name is spelled that way. --

Very well, I suppose college isn't enough of a source.
I'm not American, but from a similar settler colony, and I can confirm it's a well-known concept. Often the child and its mother would become very minor celebrities in later years. It's also a very racist concept, particularly when you consider that they were almost always pre-dated by a lot of half-white babies who never got in the newspapers, but it's well known and does show a distinct stage in settlement. Two examples, one showing it was paid attention to as a current event as late as the 1930s
[1], and another showing these 'first white babies' were considered significant in later life

Since one of the References cited in this article only states that she gave birth to the first baby born in Argonia without any mention of race, I have updated the article accordingly.--
