Jane (Cope) CREE (1820-1906)
* father: William COPE, Sr. (c.1790-unknown/before 1880), born in England.
* mother: Isabella Elizabeth (Marsh) COPE (c.1794-1881), born in England. Dies in Philadelphia, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA. The 1850 Federal Census for Southwark Ward 6, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA, records her as Elizabeth COPE (56) and marks her as "Person over 20 y'rs of age who cannot read & write." 1870 Federal Census lists her as Isabella COPE (77). 1880 Federal Census lists her as Elizabeth COPE (86, widow) though it's likely she was a widow as early as 1850. I have not researched where she is buried yet.
* William & Elizabeth have six children on record. All born in Pennsylvania, USA.
Note: I have not researched the COPE family yet, so this family biography is a work-in-progress:
1.) William COPE, Jr. (c.1813-unknown) works as a carter.
2.) Jane (Cope) CREE (1820-1906) marries William D. CREE (c.1820-1888); they have nine children. William was born in Scotland; his parents were both born in Scotland, too. William (11) arrives in Philadelphia in 1832 where he marries, works as a machinist, and starts a family. Jane sometimes works sewing "trimmings."
3.) Charles COPE (c.1823-unknown)
4.) John COPE (c.1829-unknown) marries Catharine (unknown) COPE (c.1829-unknown). John works as a butcher.
5.) Caleb COPE (c.1835-unknown)
6.) Philip COPE (c.1836-unknown)
* April 14, 1846; Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, 225 South 3rd Street, Philadelphia, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA
Jane (25.5) marries William D. CREE (26). William was born in Scotland; his parents were both born in Scotland, too. William (11) arrives in Philadelphia in 1832 where he marries, works as a machinist, and starts a family. Jane sometimes works sewing "trimmings." The 1900 Federal Census records that Jane has nine children.
* William & Jane have nine children:
1.) Mary? Elizabeth S. B. (Cree) (Carman) (Shuster) HOHENSTEIN (1847-1917) marries Civil War Veteran, U.S. Private (for twelve days), Company A, Pennsylvania 20th Infantry Regiment, Sheppard Odgen CARMAN (1843-1965); they have one daughter Rebecca P. (Carman) HARTLEY (1866-1907) who is born six months after Sheppard dies from a compound fracture of femur. Sheppard worked as a salesman, then a Union soldier, then a driver, then a teamster. As a widow, Elizabeth remarries Philip SHUSTER (1846-unknown/after 1910); they have one daughter Lillian U. "Lillie" (Shuster) VIRTUE (1879-1942) and one stillborn son (1883). Philip works as a butcher. Philip & Elizabeth divorce. Elizabeth remarries Harry HOHENSTEIN (1859-1914). Harry works as a tin smith, then as a painter in a machine shop. Both of Harry's parents were born in Germany. The 1910 Federal Census lists Harry & Elizabeth as married, living in separate residences.
2.) Margaret "Maggie" (Cree) (McNichol) DULBS (1849-unknown/after 1910) marries Joseph H. McNICHOL (1848-1891); they have seven children. Joseph works as a plumber. Joseph's father was born in Scotland; mother was born in Ireland. As a widow, Maggie remarries Henry DULBS (1855-unknown); Henry's father was born in France; mother was born in Germany. Henry works as a gilder in a picture shop.
3.) Isabella (Cree) DOUGLASS (1853-1904) marries unknown DOUGLASS (unknown-before 1900). The 1900 Federal Census is blank for Isabella's number of children.
4.) John D. CREE (1855-1906) works as a brick layer.
5.) Jane "Jenny" (Cree) BENSON (1856-1890) marries William Alfred BENSON (1853-1922). Sad stuff: so far, I have found records for seven children by Jennie; five die very young. Another dies at sixteen from accidental drowning. Jennie and her baby James both die in childbirth in 1890. As a widower, William remarries the widow Laura Virginia (Stevenson) (Graham) BENSON (1866-1956); William has four more children with Laura. William works as a carpenter. Laura's first-husband was Samuel Nobel GRAHAM (unknown-1887); Samuel & Laura had two children.
6.) Josephine (Cree) JAMES (1860-1907) marries Walter A. JAMES (1855-1942); they have five children. Walter works as a brick layer.
7.) Clara CREE (1861/2-1864)
8.) Floretta CREE (1862-unknown/possibly before 1870). Floretta never appears on census records with the family. All I have found for Floretta is one birth record. Maybe the truth is that Clara and Floretta are the same person? If so, then the ninth child of William & Jane is unknown.
9.) Catherine J. "Kate" (Cree) BARKER (1865-unknown/after 1940) marries John W. BARKER, Sr. (1864-unknown/after 1940); they have seven children. John works as a machinist.
* Jane dies July 9, 1906; Saint Timothy's Hospital, Philadelphia, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA.
Æ about 86 years
Cause of death: apoplexy
* Jane is buried July 12, 1906; Odd Fellows Cemetery (established in 1849, DEFUNCT since 1951 -- land went to build Raymond Rosen Housing Development); West Diamond Street, North 22nd Street, North 24th Street, West Dauphin Street; Philadelphia, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA
* 1952
Burials from Odd Fellows Cemetery are reinterred in:
1.) Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, (Montgomery), Pennsylvania, USA
2.) Mount Peace Cemetery, Philadelphia, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA, which is also managed by Lawnview Cemetery.
3.) possibly other cemeteries that I will never know of
