[or-roots] Junction City / Benton County ???

[Trudy KELSOE]

Go to http:// arcweb.sos.state.or.us/county/cpmapboundry.html
This shows county boundaries in 1843, 1851, 1856, 1865, and 1893  and
although it may not solve the problem because the cities are not listed,
it will show boundary changes for the existing counties in Oregon which
may be helpful for the time frame you are researching.

I wonder if the difference in cities is where they went to register the
birth.  My mothers birth place is listed as Elmira, Oregon but the
family homestead was near Albany.

Mary Catherine Graves b. abt 1856, who has listed Junction City, Or as
her birthplace.  I assumed it was correct, but never found any birth
records for her. Then I found several references to her being born in
Benton Co. Or. Seemed correct, but I still wonder why she is repeatedly
saying she was born in J.C.  
Although technically Junction City is in Lane County, I believe the
Lane/Benton county line is very much nearby -- I suppose it would be
quite possible for someone or some location to have a Junction City
mailing address and actually be inside Benton County
