• Notes

  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XRFZ-QGN This seems to show that Edmund Kopan married Anne L. Clement, not Bessie. My current conclusion is that this is simply a mistake made when transcribing the record. We know from family knowledge and photographs that Bessie Clement married Edmund Kopan. The census records show that Bessie was the daughter of Dana Clement and Betsey Newcomb, and further shows that they did not have a daughter named Anne. The book "Andrew Newcomb, 1618-1686, and his descendants, a revised edition of "Genealogical memoir" of the Newcomb family" shows Bessie as the daughter of Dana and Betsey Newcomb, and marrying Edmund Kopan on June 22, 1904 (the same date as the record above for "Anne"). It may be interesting to obtain the original marriage record to see if the mistake is repeated there, or was just made when being transcribed for FamilySearch.com. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Kopan&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=in&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=84930541&df=all& http://www.usgwarchives.net/wi/cemetery/images/crawford/uticatwp-mountsterlinglutheran/mountsterlinglutheran044.jpg http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1900usfedcen&rank=1&new=1&MSAV=1&msT=1&gss=angs-d&gsfn=Bessie&gsfn_x=NP&gsln=Clement&dbOnly=_83004005%7c_83004005_x%2c_83004006%7c_83004006_x&uidh=ii3&pcat=35&fh=9&h=73584698&recoff= 1900 Census. Bessie Clement (18) is living with Mahlon Twinning and Betsey Twinning as "step daughter" along with John, Charles, Perry, and Willie Clement. Appears that Dana Clement has died and Betsey Newcomb has remarried. This matches up with the names of her younger brothers from a combination of the 1880 census and Dale Blanchard's records on Geni. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=rkwest&id=I149268#s1 http://search.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=13978&iid=dvm_GenMono000314-00243-0&rc=1156,1416,1284,1442;779,1465,909,1491&pid=471&ssrc=&fn=&ln=Clement&st=g "Andrew Newcomb, 1618-1686, and his descendants, a revised edition of "Genealogical memoir" of the Newcomb family" by Bethuel Merritt Newcomb confirms that Bessie B.
