[or-roots] Doug Co stuff

[Harguess, Dale]

Just to set the record straight, I am a she not a he.  I also found in
that same record they had Stanford Howell marrying another woman.  I
can't remember her name but I think it started with an O so if you
scroll down to the O's and look in the groom's side you will see
Stanford Howell.
I do have the actual marriage record, but thanks for offering to get it
for me.  Stanford and Adeline were my great, great grandparents.  
Stanford is the big mystery guy.  I don't know who his parents were but
I am going to start looking in Illinois around 1830 as he was born about
1832.  
I have a distant cousin who thinks he went to Arkansas and married a
woman there but I haven't found anything to make me think this is
accurate.
I know that there were a lot of Howell's that came to Oregon early and
got land, I have checked most, if not all of them out and none of them
has Stanford living with them.
One of my thoughts is that he was an orphan and perhaps was living with
another family.
As for your folks, are you familiar with a book called "The History of
Douglas County"?  It has a lot of family profiles in it so I would check
it out if I were you.
In the meantime, I will keep my eyes peeled for your people.
Thanks again,
Dale in California
