  • Notes 
    • In the 1880 census, Clarissa is listed as widowed at age 51. Living with her are a daughter, Eliza J. age 25*, James WHT, son age 18; her father, James P. Childers age 74; and Jesse Cooper, age 30, who is listed as a farmer “at home.” Perhaps Jesse is doing the farming for Clarissa.

      *Eliza J. is most probably Elizabeth J. Skaggs who became son Tom’s third wife. [3]
