- Note from Art Hubbs 3 Mar 2008:
Clarissa, widow of Hial Jackson continued to reside with the Bigelow family as late as 1930 when she was 78. In 1920, daughter Elma, age 26, single, born in Illinois, stenographer in a law office, was living with them.
-------------------------------
Janie: Note that Clara Ann Bigelow Jackson in the 1900 census said that she had one child and that child was living. Clara's child, Elma was born in 1891; but no child was listed as living with her on the 1900 census. Clara was a widow in 1900 and on 1910 she was the mother of three children and Elma is with her then. It is possible that the 1900 info was given by the 76 year old father who also listed Clara with her mother's name of Clarissa.
Clara/Clarissa's death certificate says she was born 26 Sep 1851 which is different than the date on the 1900 census record. Either could be right or wrong.
