1. His mother was Kathleen Manson-Bower-Cavender, (originally Maddox) (born in 1919, and died in 1973) who was fifteen-years-old at the birth, but very likely to be 14 when she got pregnant.
The father was Colonel Walker Henderson Scott Sr. (born in 1910 and died in 1954). I should note.....he did not serve in WW I. The 'Colonel' rank was something he invented for himself, and had convinced Kathleen Maddox that he was distinguished.
After the birth, Kathleen did use the court system to sue, and get some type of marginal settlement (in 1937).
Upon telling Colonel Scott of the pregnancy....the 'Colonel' announced he had Army business to attend to, and left (in the permanent sense). He died of alcoholism at age 44.
Scott's two primary occupations in life? Working in a flour mill, and noted as a local con-artist. There's some stuff there to suggest he was marginally educated, and probably serious alcoholic from his teen years on.
2. While in reform school in his younger years....he developed a technique that he referred to as 'the insane game'. What he learned was....if you act insane....people don't screw with you.
3. In 1968, Manson found employment in a SF hospital, which happened to have a funded research project....to see how the effects of LSD worked on the human mind. He (along with several lady friends) would sign up and get paid for their involvement in the LSD treatment.
