      Clara is not enumerated with her mother on the 1870 census. It seems that she has married William Brown by then.

      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.
