• Notes

  1860 U.S. Census Berlin, Knox Co., Ohio Post Office: Shalers Mills and Knox Hannah Pond 37 F OH Silas Pond 11 M OH Clara F Pond 8 F OH Adam Pond 3 M IND Florence Pond 2 F IND Clara is not enumerated with her mother on the 1870 census. It seems that she has married William Brown by then. Cook County, Illinois, Marriages Index, 1871-1920 Name: Clara A. Pond Age: 24 Gender: Female Birth Year: abt 1855 Birth Place: Chicago, Cook, Illinois Marriage Type: Marriage Marriage Date: 27 Aug 1879 Marriage Place: Chicago, Cook, Illinois Spouse Name: Lowry N. Mousseau Spouse Age: 24 Spouse Gender: Male Spouse Birth Place: Chicago, Cook, Illinois FHL Film Number: 1030110 As Clara and Leon Mousseau were not married until 1879, the record in the Robbins book is probably correct in saying the children Lillian and Neva were children of Clara's first husband, William Brown. But in 1880 the children are listed with the last name of Mousseau. Whether Leon Mousseau actually adopted the children or if the enumerator just assumed their last name is not known. On the 1900 census Clara and 'Lon' say they have been married 21 years - and Lillian is 30 years old. This verifies that the Robbin's book is correct about an earlier married which produced Lillian and Neva. 1880 U.S. Census 068, chicago, Cook Co., Illinois Mousseau, Lonny W M 25 M Tinsmith Michigan MI MI Mousseau, Clara W F 24 Wife M Keeping House OH OH OH Mousseau, Lillian W F 9 dau S OH MI OH Mousseau, Neva W F 7 dau S OH MI OH Cook County, Illinois, Deaths Index, 1878-1922 Name: Clara Mousseau Birth Date: abt 1853 Birth Place: Ohio Death Date: 8 Feb 1903 Death Place: Chicago, Cook, Illinois Burial Date: 10 Feb 1903 Burial Place: Forest Home Death Age: 50 Occupation: Housewife Race: White Marital Status: Married Gender: Female FHL Film Number: 1239689
