I have since learned that my Jesse W. Copeland was actually born as Jesse W. Shaw, son of John H. Shaw & Mahala Densmore Copeland Shaw.For some reason later in life he took the surname of his deceased step-father...who was the FIRST husband of Mahala Densmore.Thus, he would never have known this first husband of Mahala as he was born of the second husband!!! Confusing.
