[or-roots] Oregon names

[JudyRobertson39 at aol.com]

My Evans family settled in Oregon before 1900.  They were ranchers in Gilliam 
and Wheeler Counties.  They came from the midwest.  The father's name was 
Rufus Albert Evans and he is said to have been born in Red River Texas.  Traces 
of that have been hard to find.  My Richardson line descends from George 
Richardson who came west in 1852.  He settled first in the Willamette Valley and 
eventually lived in Summerville where it is documented that he was in the group 
of settlers who lined up to volunteer to enter into combat with the NezPerce 
when they escaped into Montana.  He did not actually go with the soldiers and 
settlers.  He felt ill and his son-in-law, John Hawk took him home.  He died in 
bed that night.  It is supposed of a heart attack.  George Richardson's second 
wife's family were the Findleys-Griffith-Ritchie families who came west at 
about the same time.  Some earlier and some later.  If you have questions that I 
have not covered, please ask.  Maybe I will know
