Jacob & Rosannah Cluster
Several years ago, Iona Clester Stephens mentioned another Jacob Clester--This is an excerpt from Iona's 14 April 1996 letter:
"If you are doing research in Champaign and Vermilion Co IL you will probably find another Jacob Clester who married a French Immigrant girl named Roseanne.I think she was Roseanne Lesure -- no proof, yet.They had about 4 children and one was Jackson Clester who owned a store in Nebraska (forgot the town)."
I suspect the Jackson Clesters (Cluster) may be confused--there was apparently a Jackson Cluster b ca 1843-44 s/o Jacob and Roseannah, but there was another Jackson Clester I am tracking who was born in 1853.I believe it was the Jackson Cluster/Clester born 1853 who owned the store in Nebraska (see 1880 census Hickman, Lancaster Co, Nebraska).

The following is an online reading for 1870 Adair Co MO - Polk Twppg 164
Scearce, Elizabeth R 48 f France
John L 12 m Iowa
Fidelia 9 f Iowa
The 1880 census shows a "Dellia Scarce" in Kirksville, Adair Co MO--this is likely Fidelia Scearce.She is white, single, female, age 18, born IA fb KY mb France, listed as "servant in hotel."Head of household is a David "Hoywadt."
Also, in 1880, John L Scearce is living in Nineveh, Adair Co MO, single, white, age 21, b IA fb KY mb France.He is a farmer.
If anyone can help identify the parents or siblings of Jacob Cluster who married Rosannah, or shed light on the Jackson Clusters, please post.
