[or-roots] RE: Bonebrakes and Barklows

[Harguess, Dale]

Very interesting.  I know that my great great grandparents (Dillon
Hoskins and Rachel) were United Brethren but they started out in Linn
County and ended up in Morrow County.  I am not that familiar with the
geography of Oregon so don't know how all this might fit together.

Thanks Les for your searching. I ran into the same problem with the
Barklow/Barlow spelling in the census in 1880, but like you, just kind
of stumbled on it. 

 

Judy - I have found that there is another reference to your Bonebrake
family in Orvil Dodge's book - in the non-biographical section. It ties
the brothers together. Have you looked into the Brethern church records?
There is a good writeup on the Myrtle Point congregation and the church,
and it references a 1906 publication that there must be other editions
of. There is also an e-mail link that might find more information.
http://orwahist.rothweb.com/Churches.htm The Orvil Dodge mentions
confirm they were Brethren ministers.

 

Today I also uncovered an unlikely connection between the Royer family
and the Barklows. On a Royer family website is a comment by Dawn
(tiaspook at aol.com) where she wrote 

"While down in Myrtle Point over the weekend I found about 30 diaries
from my great-great-grandfather (he was a preacher for the Brethren
Church in Myrtle Point). In those diaries he talked an awful lot of
Mollie Royer (who married John Wesley Barklow) and her insanity. We had
known that she had a problem, but were to find out in these diaries that
her Father, Henry Royer (son of John Royer and Phoebe Heckman) died in
an insane asylum. Do you know of any other of the Royer line who were
insane? This was an interesting find as we were always told that she
went insane after my grandfather was born. Actually, it was before her
third child. Would love to know what was wrong."

I dropped her a note today and hope I can locate the dia ries. I know
Thomas (Tommy) Barklow kept a very precise diaries, and there is a HUGE
book on the Barklows in the Myrtle Point library by Louis Root, the
family historian (now deceased). I have been trying to determine where
the diaries he kept went, and this may be them. Will keep all interested
in the loop...
