Additional Information

Selina CLARK:

Notes:

I can't find the date and place of Selina's birth and marriage, and the birth of her daughter Mary Ann (Annie). Even her name is in some doubt.

Her DC shows her parents to be 'Clark' and 'Mary Ann Cox', and her daughter's DC shows her mother as 'Selina Clark', so Selina's surname was almost certainly Clark. The 1800 census clearly shows that she and her parents were born in England, and that Annie was born in Colorado. However, her obituary in 1941 states she was a native of Colorado, indicating that she at least lived there for some time, probably with her parents.
