2. | John CLEMENT was born about 1820 in Bavaria, GERMANY; died on 5 May 1886; was buried in Shakopee Catholic Cemetery, Shakopee, Scott, MN. Other Events and Attributes:
- Census: 8 Aug 1870, Shakopee, Scott, MN
- Census: 23 Jun 1880, Eagle Creek Township, Scott, MN
Notes:
Note:
The Nelson chart names 6 daughters of John and Catherine: Pauline (m. Fischer); Sophia (Gigrich); Mary (Veight); Caroline (Kopp); Barbara (Annen) and Elizabeth (Annen).
The 1870 census lists 5 daughters: Anna, 9; Sophie, 8; Caroline, 6; Barbara, 4; and Elizabeth, 1. The 1880 census lists 2 daughters remaining at home: Barbara, 14 and Elizabeth, 10. By 1900, John is dead and Catherine is living with her daughter, Sophia. In 1900 the census states that Catherine had 6 children and 6 of them are living.
So... from the charts I am missing Mary and Pauline in the census. From the census I have an extra Anna. In 1910, Mary Veigt is listed as 49 years old which sort of matches up with Anna on the census. In 1920 Mary is listed with the middle initial A. That leaves Pauline. I have been unable to find any trace of a John or Pauline Fischer/Fisher or any children listed on the chart in Minnesota.
For recording purposes, since I believe the chart to be correct, I am "keeping" Pauline as a child and will continue to look for little Fischers. I am "incorporating" Anna and Mary unless I find out otherwise.
