[or-roots] Douglas County stuff

[Leslie Chapman]

First of all my apologies to Dale for attempted gender bending, if she had
made that fact clear in the past I missed it and since all the Dales I grew
up with were guys naturally I jumped to the wrong confusion.

Many thanks to Sue for ferreting out stuff I hadn't found or else was too
lazy to look for. Barbara had me going for a minute with her explanation of
Mary Emily from the death index, I was about to say don't discount the
connection when I remembered my Anlauf connection was on the other side of
Mom's family. I haven't had any luck turning up either John or Mary
McCulloch in 1900 and now it appears John at least will be real hard to
find. If he was real important to me I could dig through Coos and Doug co
marriage records and probably find who his other daughter married and maybe
track Momma down that way. If someone wanted to look for her in the 1900
Census in Empire, Coos Co., Oregon they might find her. That is where here
daughter that married my great Uncle is that year; EMPIRE PCT Series: T623
Roll: 1346  Page: 278. Heritage quest's image for that census looks like the
stuff between the brackets here; [`  `  .  ,  ;  =  ] some lines are a
little more legible, but I can just barely figure out where Unc is on the
page.

Oh, my email to Ralph bounced too, I will probably call Doug Co Gen Soc or
some such to sort that out.

Dale; I wouldn't discount the Howell marriage to Margaret Olmsted, the
Northrup marriage would then be a second one and you would probably have a
whole new bunch of cousins to try and track down from that marriage, going
back through the 1870 and 1880 census to track those individuals who list
father born in Illinois might turn up some likely clues, though presuming
wife number 1 died in childbirth before aug 1862 it seems like some of wife
number ones kids would still be home in 1880, though the would all be adult.
The killer is not finding him in 1860 or 1870, I guess I need to try harder
in 1860, possibly elsewhere? Did you mention where he married Margaret?

Of course it is possible this is Howell confusion, but Stan(d)ford isn't
what you would call a common name.  Well I just tried a little harder
looking for him in 1860 with no luck, maybe I should page by page through
the census to see what i come up with. You say you have a copy of his and
Adaline's marraige Cert? Where were they married, that is does it give a
house or some such, wait let me guess, Milan Melvin's house.
