Two Oatman-Vandercook Family Marriages
There are two marriages between Vandercook men and Oatman women for which I would like more information. The first is a marriage that took place 27 March, 1860, possibly in California, between Frederick Augustus Vandercook and Emily M. "Emma" Oatman. The second occurred 20 November, 1893 in Denver, Colorado between Fred and Emma's son, Robert(s) Oatman Vandercook and Lue Emily Oatman. When discussing this branch of the family, two questions always seem to keep cropping up: Were Emma and Lue related to each other and if so, how? Was Robert(s) Oatman Vandercook's wife also his cousin? As both seem rather likely, I'd like to get the facts collected and recorded in my database if possible.
