[or-roots] Gary in Arizona/Root surname

[Diane]

Gary, I noticed the name, Root, in  you research.  I found the name Root ( no first name given) in the 1875 census of Lake County, Oregon.  Root and Hoskins drove a herd of cattle into the Chewaucan Valley of Lake County, Oregon from California in 1871 according to The History of Central Oregon .  In the 1880 census there is still the Hoskins family, but I cannot find any mention of  Root.  Louise Hoskins was age 60 in 1880 and had a son and grandson living with her.  Next door was John Hoskins, whom I presume was another son, and his wife.  I find no Root in the cemetery listings, nor any Hoskins listed either.

Do you have any clues?

Thanks, Diane
