[or-roots] Jefferson, Linn Co Oregon

[CARROLLOUC at aol.com]

Hmmm - good question. Apparently Jefferson was at first Conser's Ferry named 
for Jacob Consr, a pioneer of 1848. The townsite seems to have moved up and 
down the Santiam River a mile or two and was named Syracuse and Santiam. The 
name became Jefferson, named for Thomas Jefferson. The post office was 
established June 13, 1861.Other early names mentioned are Milton Hale, pioneer 1841 and 
Samuel S. Miller. McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names, 6th Ed.

Does anyone know when the town of Jefferson was plotted, and settled by who? 
Some of the pioneer names from that area?
