History
Mary Couch Pope was born in 1825 in St. Vincent, West Indies while her father was there as a Wesleyan Methodist Missionary. The family returned to England shortly after her birth and Pope was raised in Plymouth. In 1847 she married Rev. Edwin Clement and the two left England for North America. The couple landed in the United States and later settled in Ontario where Rev. Clement would spend a few years in different cities preaching his ministry. Together they had seven children: John James Clement (1848), Catherine Louise Clement (1850), Mary Alice Clement (1851), Edwin Perry Clement (1853), Margaret Elizabeth Clement (1856), William Henry Pope Clement (1858) and George Thomas Clement (1860). She died in Collingwood, Ontario in 1910.
