[or-roots] I Need a History Lesson

[Leslie Chapman]

Suzanne;

They seem to be defying my talents, so far all I have turned up is an Ely
age 26 and wife Llewinda (sp?) and two kids in Falling Spring, and a James
Foresythe age 27 in Linn Co. MO by sorting for AR born. There are 3 Lewis
Forest's listed in 1860 but only one even close in age is in PA and I forget
where he was born.

I couldn't seem to find anythiing relevant in MO vital records either, not
even the folks you have a date for show up there. Possible that the record
exists and hasn't been transcribed though.

I only find Lewis Forest in 1870? now if you look at the "reported"
information on their children it appears they were still in MO in 1860 as
dau Matilda age 9 is listed as born there while John age 5 is listed as OR.
that narrows your travel Window somewhat.

I did try most of the midwest, though I didn;t try Mich, Minn and Wisc. Do
you know who Olivey's husband was?

I have to go work on my plumbing, sorry I didn't come up with anything of
substance.

The names are:
Olivey Catherine (nee Wilson) Lambert b: 1815 TN.  Her children were:
James Wilson Lambert, b: 1836, TN (married Mary Jane Forrest);
Achsah Lambert b: 1839 TN (married Lewis Forrest);
Matilda Ann Lambert, b: 1840, TN;
John Aaron Lambert, b:  1845 TN; and William Lee Lambert, b: 1847 TN.

James H.3 Forest, born 03 Feb 1835 in Greene Co, AR; died 24 Jul 1899 in
Amity, Yamhill, OR.
Jane Forrest, born 1836 in Greene Co, AR.
Lewis W. Forrest, born 11 Jun 1839 in Greene Co, AR; (m: Achsah Lambert)
died 07 Oct 1873 in Dayton, Yamhill, OR.
Williamson C. Forrest, born Mar 1842 in Greene Co, AR.
William B. Forrest, born 1844 in Greene Co, AR; died in Macomb, Mcdonough,
Illinois, USA.
Mary Jane Forrest, born 22 Nov 1845 in Greene Co, AR; (m:  Mary Jane
Lambert) died 15 Sep 1915 in Waverly, Spokane, WA, USA.
John Josiah Forrest, born 1848 in Montgomery Co, MO; died 1869 in , Wright,
MO.  He married Emily Susan Gideon 1869 in Wright Co, MO; born Abt. 1851.
Hezekiah Forrest, born 1850 in Wright, Missouri, USA.  He married UNKNOWN.
John Marion Forrest, born 01 Nov 1851 in Clarks Creek, Hartville, Wright Co,
MO; died 24 Apr 1918 in Springfield, Greene Co, MO.
 Minerva Katherine Forrest, born 14 Mar 1855 in MO; died in Richland Parish,
LA.

I looks like most of them migrated some time after the 1850 census which
shows them in Wright county Missouri.  I do know that Achsah died in 1862 in
Missouri and Lewis remarried in 1863 in (possible) Illinois.

Most show up in the Yamhill County, Oregon 1870 census.  I can't seem to
find anyone in the 1860 census, but it could be a misinterpretation of the
name on the census.  1850 shows some of the Forrests as Hanst.  Go figure.

Thanks for everyone's help.
