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

[karen thomas]

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
