Clarissa was born about 1823 in New York. Her maiden name Kuch is taken from oral family history. Her first husband was James "Daniel" Keech. They were married before 1850. They are found in the 1850 Broome Co., New York census and the 1860 McGee Co., Kansas Territory Census. It is probable that Daniel Keech and Clarissa were divorced or separated as Clarissa is found in the 1870 Douglas Co., Colorado Territory Census with husband Thomas R. Cox and daughter Ida (this is Ida Keech the daughter of Daniel Keech & Clarissa.) Colorado marriage records show that on 7 Apr 1865 in Arapahoe Co., Colorado Territory Clarissa Keech married Thomas Reynolds Cox. She is found in the 1880 Tomichi, Gunnison Co., Colorado census with her granddaughter Esther Keach (this is Ester Moore the daughter of Ida L. Keech & Jabez G. Moore). She states in that census that her father was born in England and her mother in Germany. She is listed as Clara Cox in the 1885 Colorado State census for Gunnison Co., District 1. Her birthplace is listed as New York along with that of both of her parents.
