St. Joseph's **********(There is a Celina Bessette listed in the Clinton
County Marriage book as marrying Ingance Senecal, although no parents are
listed, I've listed this Celina under Abraham, because Lucien and his wife are
witnesses for the baptisms of Celina's children...so I assume that the Celina
that married Ingance Senecal in Abrahm's daughter. They had a child in 1878,
and then Celina is listed as marrying Christopher Strom in April 1880. But in
Abraham's Will, he mentions his daughter Celina as Celina Nichols...so?? I
have no idea! If anyone has any information on this daughter and her family I
would be very appreciative to know!! Thanks so much!!)**********
