[or-roots] Deford

[Harguess, Dale]

Don't be sorry, I appreciate that you tried.  Yes I do know about the
bad image.  I looked at the film down at the Archives and it is
terrible.  Actually, some of the worst films I have looked at have been
in Oregon.  I think perhaps the dampness ruined a lot of the census
books because they were just on regular paper back then and the census
counters went from house to house and I have heard that it rains a lot
in Oregon :)
Jasper Deford is Samuel Deford's only son.  His wife Lydia is the sister
to William Hoskins who married Jane Deford the 7 year old in that
census.  The Ann was actually Lucintha's daughter by her first marriage.
I have done a lot of research on this family but still keep trying to
find them in the 1870.  I did get a clue when I got Jane Deford's death
certificate.  They have her father's name as Samuel D. Ford.  I think
that is because her husband at the time never knew him and when you say
the name Deford it might sound like D. Ford.  So I haven't looked for
Ford yet, that is my next quest.
Thanks again,
Dale

Okay; I went to Heritage Quest image of Samuel Deford;

Series: M653  Roll: 1055  Page: 370
Surname  GivenName  Age  Sex  Race  Birthplace  State  County  Location
Year
DEFORD  SAMUEL      46    M     W    OH         OR      LINN     LEBANON
P O
1860

What they have is virtually indecipherable, but right away I note there
are
no entries in the ocupation  column except Farmer for Samuel, it looks
like
spouse is Jane age 47, he being 46, first child might be age 18, second
maybe 14 and last about 7? I think the oldest is Amy or Ann, but no clue
the
other two, I know you have this info elsewhere, but that is how bad this
image is, I would be curious to see what it looks like on the local
library
microfilm roll, if it is this bad, my experience in the past has been if
Heritage has a bad image so does my library.

trying to track these folks in 1870 real pain, tried samuel of his age
group
b. ohio and none even close to your guy, tried tracking a couple of his
neighbors from 1860 and find them in Scio precinct. scrolling throught
that
stumbled across a Wisner that may be one of my kin, but don't know who
he
is.

on the same page with him;
Series: M593  Roll: 1286  Page: 619

is a Jasper Deford age 21 b Iowa and Lydia (spouse/sister??) age 23 also
b.
Iowa.

His is in fact the only Deford that Heritage Quest lists in the 1870 OR
Census, I scrolled all the way through Scio Precinct and Lebanon with no
luck, I think they were just missed in 1870.

and for 1880;
