Earlier I sent the names from 10S 3W -- not realizing I should include 2W. So, here is 2W
If any of the names look familiar, I can look them up in the DLC books to see where they are from, etc.,
which have to be done by name, not location.

|Subject: RE: [or-roots] Jefferson, (MARION CO) Linn Co Oregon
|
|
|According to my maps, Jefferson is right on the border of Linn
|and Marion Counties, but is actually in Marion County.
|
|I have the 1878 "Historical Atlas Map" of Marion & Linn
|Counties, Oregon, if that would be of any assistance.
|Jefferson was platted by then. About Jefferson it says:
|
|"Jefferson is a town of about two hundred and sixty
|inhabitants, and which, for natural advantages of location, is
|not excelled by any one of the smaller towns in this county.
|It is situated at the head of navigation on the Santiam River,
|and although it has been questioned whether Jefferson could be
|made a shipping point for grain, by water, that point has been
|decided by the fact that several steamboats have visited it,
|carrying away upwards of one hundred tons of wheat on each
|occasion. It is also a station on the Oregon & California
|Railroad, which crosses the river at this point.
|
|The town has very ample communications by wagon road in every
|direction. The first settlement in the neighborhood was made
|by Mr. Jacob Couser in July, 1851, since which period the
|increase of population has been slow and gradual up to the
|present time.
|
|It is a subject of speculation why Jefferson, with its
|facilities of communication, transportation of produce, etc.,
|has not made greater progress than she displays today; the
|country in the neighborhood is fertile and well settled, with
|quite a large area of fine agricultural country naturally
|tributary ot it.
|
|As a manufacturing place, it has excellent advantages of
|abundant water power, which can be utilized ot an almost
|unlimited extent. At the present time there is a canal about
|two and a half miles long, which brings to the city a quantity
|of water equivalent to say two hundred and fifty horse power,
|and which, by a moderate outlay, could easily be enlarged so
|as to double, or even treble, the quantity of water at present
|flowing in it; the present canal cost about $4000 in its
|construction. This enterprise of increasing the water power
|has been initiated, but has been deferred for the present.
|
|The manufactories at present in Jefferson are: A find flouring
|mill, owned by Corbett & McClay, of Portland, C. F. Pfluger
|being the resident agent; there are three run of burrs, and it
|has a capacity of about two hundred and fifty barrels in
|twenty-four hours; there is also machinery for the manufacture
|of oatmeal.
|
|Saw and planing mills, owned by A. Smith, is a fine mill, with
|excellent facilities for doing all classes of work; it has a
|planer, scroll saw, etc., and does a successful business.
|
|Chair factory, Mr. Metzler, proprietor. This establishment can
|turn out from three to four thousand chairs in the year. There
|is also a fanning mill factory in town, which manufactures had
|mills for farmers' use; also, cleaners for warehouse purposes.
|
|Jefferson hosiery, owned by Dickenson & Jerguensery, was
|erected at a cost of $10,000.
|
|Jefferson Institute, is a chartered school, and has an
|excellent reputation; it has an endowment fund of $6000, and
|has usually about one hundred and ten pupils on the rolls.
|There is about one hundred acres of land which pertains to the
|Institute and on which the building stands.
|
|The mill warehouses, of which Mr. C. F. Pfluger is agent, have
|a capacity for storage of about twenty-five thousand bushels;
|they are well and strongly built, and cost about $9000 each.
|There is also a granger's warehouse on the riverside, of which
|John Bryant is Superintendent.
|
|There are about one hundred and fifty thousand bushels of
|wheat annually shipped from this place. The present population
|of Jefferson is about two hundred."
|
|The township, 10S 3W, actually covers three counties, Marion,
|Linn, and Benton. Jefferson today may be in both Linn and
|Marion, so it is hard to tell what you are looking for. The
|BLM website lists a the DLCs and other patents for this
|township, only in Marion County as:
