Henry was the son of Max Henius, a prominent biochemist, who was a Danish Jew, and of Johanne Louise “Henne” Heiberg, who was of Danish background. Lillian was the daughter of Joseph Fuess, who was German, from Roentgen, Baden, and of Anna Fischer, who was of German and Swiss-German descent..

The surname Carradine is sometimes said to have an Italian or Spanish origin. Ever’s last traceable patrilineal ancestor is believed to have been a man named Parker Carradine, who was born in Georgia, in North America, c. 1755. There is no evidence that Parker had Italian or Spanish ancestry.
