[or-roots] Name coincidences

[Harguess, Dale]

Yes, I know what you mean.  My Howells are so hard to trace and I
actually have them on both sides of my family and don't know if they
were connected way back in the 1700's or not.  It is a very common name
in Oregon, partly because my branch were very prolific and had a lot of
twins.

Dale;

I thought it kinda that way since I don't recall noticing Carrol(l) as a
particularly common name and since the population of Oregon in 1850
wasn't
so huge as to generate every imaginable surname by accident. Some of
them do
seem awfully common though. We had a friend her in Reedsport that was a
Foster descendant and she asked me to look into her ancestry, but at the
time I was pretty green and didn't get far, but in browsing 1850
Clackamas
Co to find a Dunn to check out for Paul Christian I stumbled across
about
five families of Fosters. Knowing they probably are no kin of my Foster
ancestors just somehow makes that a little discouraging.

Interesting.  I have only begun to do research on the Carroll family and
it isn't easy because anything that I might find would be before the
1850 census.  My great great grandfather's mother was a Hettie Carroll,
I don't know if that was a nickname for Henrietta or Harriet but I
assume it was a nickname.  She was married and died in Illinois.  Her
son ended up in Hardman Oregon and in fact is buried there.
