I found Nettie's marriage to William A. Coppin on 19 Oct 1851 listed in an edition of
the state genealogy newsletter with the notation "o/uncle Cavender" located
under her name. This apparently means an oath or affidavit was provided by her uncle. Is
there somewhere I can get a copy of the original to see if his full name is given? I need
to know how he could be an uncle. Her father Aaron Stout has unknown ancestry and her
mother Sarah Shannon was said to have been adopted by the Shannons, so the Cavender uncle
or his wife could be a clue to one of the other of my brick walls.
After William Coppin died, Nettie remarried to Thomas Godfrey. She apparently died after
appearing in the 1880 census with Thomas and before the 1882- death index.
