The maid became pregnant by the father, John, and her father (the maid's) became quite irate. The family subsequently moved to North Dakota where they lived in much reduced circumstances owing to John Coupe's age and inability to "start over again".BIRTH: Bible belonging to Sara Coupe (Coope)BIRTH: Bible belonging to Sara Coupe (Coope)1880 Census Dakota Territory, Turner Co., Township 98, pag1880 Census Dakota Territory, Turner Co., Township 98, page 318, dwelling 239, family 242:Kopp, John, white, male, age 23, married, farmer, born RussKopp, John, white, male, age 23, married, farmer, born Russia, father born Russia, mother born Russia Mary, white, female, age 25, wife, married, keeping house, born Russia, father born Russia, mother born Russia Cornelius, white, male, 17 or 19/30 (days old) born in May of census year, single, born Dakota Territory, father born Russia, mother born Russia The Koops and the Sperlings, Mary's parents, are next door neighbors, as is Mary's brother, Peter.
