[or-roots] Genealogy and Family History

[Harguess, Dale]

Yes, I had thought of that one, but the coincidence of his cousin having
the same span of years between his children sparked my curiousity.  I
thought that was too much of a coincidence, but then I also don't know
what happened to the mother.  Maybe she died when she had her last child
(my great, great grandmother).  I found the family living in Iowa in the
1850 census and the wife was alive and the last child hadn't been born
yet.  Then I found them living in Oregon in the 1860 census with a step
mother.  There is quite a bit about her in the Donation Land Claim
records.  It said she went through a contentious divorce with her first
husband and got the land that they homesteaded.  I have not been able to
find them in any 1870 census and I think the father was dead by 1880 but
not positive.  I also would like to find a marriage record if I could as
they had to have gotten married in Oregon.  The father's name was Samuel
Deford and the step-mother's name was Lucintha Jane Stillwell Horner.

There are any number of reasons as to why the years between births, my
brother and I had a 12 year difference,

our mother had several miscarriages before I was born.
