It appears that each Land Office and "law" would start from "1" -- so if you also select September 27, 1850: Oregon-Donation Act (grant) (99 Stat. 496) Under "authority" you will get a few: George Abernathy and Dr. John McLaughlin, Clackamas, 2/27/1891-- Clackamas -- issued 2/27/1891 Edward and Sophia Crete, Wasco -- 1/16/1882 King and Nancy Hibbard, Marion, 1/18/1859 William C McKay, Umatilla, 2/27/1874 Oregon State, Benton, Lane, Linn, 2/21872 Jane and John Rankin, Jackson, 8/19/1865 "Obviously" there's not a direct relationship between when a plat was "settled" and a "claim filed" and when it was granted. So, just to check these, here's what GMODLC says: On Abernathy and McLoughlin -- I find nothing in the book, but check out No. 219. The "No 1" may be a "fix" for No 219, which has an issue date of 1/23/1873, with Ann and George, T2Sr2E, sect 21, 28, 29, 30. (ORORAA 043871) And, likewise, Dr John McLaughlin and Marie Antoinette Neujian, issued 1/26, 1892, (ORORAA 044191) for T2S R2E, Sect 30/12. Very odd that one. Edward and Sophia Crete are listed on Vol 3, p 171, as having TD 1. P 3/157 gives a certificate from the Dalles, "Crete (Crait-Crate) (X), Edward; b 1822, Canada; Arr Ore 1 Nov 1837; SC 1 Apr 1851; m Sophia 15 Jun 1844, Vancouver, Ore. T (Wash). . . Pat was dated 16 Jan 1882. No. 1 (Oregon City) Hibbard, King, Marion Co; b 1806, Ontario Co, N. Y.; SC 1 Apr 1848; m Nancy 26 Mar 1835, Tazewell Co, Ill. Aff: Wm. Brisbin, Ralph C. Geer, John W. Shrum. 1 McKay, William C (vol 3, p 157) , Umatilla Co (formerly Wasco); b 1822/3 Clatsop Co, Ore. T; SC July 1851/Apr 1852. McKay states he is a native half-breed Indian. Feb 1856 he was driven from his c by hostile Indians. Mar 1875 C. O. Fanning gave aff he was owner of this c. Orlando Humason gave aff this claim is identical land claim mentioned and described in the treaty between the Cayuse tribe May 1855. Aff: Edward (X) Crate. Pat dated 27 Feb 1874. Hmm interesting -- Edward Crate/Crete is fellow above.... Finally, Jane and John Rankin (Roseburg Land Office) 1 Rankin, John, Jackson Co; b 1812, OH; Arr Ore 16 Oct 1852; SC 1/6 Aug 1853; m Jane 7/8 Apr 1852, Mahaska Co, IA. Paid for c 14 Mar 1856, Rec #50. Aff: John Rankin, Jr, Daniel Carlisle (Carlille). So, as we see, the "we're #1" may apply to many things, but having the "#1" certificate means very little. In this case, in Marion County, we'd have to go through the entire list (no thanks) to see who "settled claim" first, I would think. Hibbard - 1848 Geer, 1848 Delany - 1 Apr 1844 Nelson, 1847. . . . Keizer -- Nov 1844. . . . Beers -- Oct 1844 Howell (Howell prairie) Aug 1844. . . Ford, (John) June 1844 Waldo - Dec 1843 Lewis, Nov 1844 Sigh.

As to the numbers I recall haveing difficulty making the numbers in the Genealogical Material book match up with BLM, but it seems to me like somewhere in the BLM info the numbers in the book do show up? In the book they start with number one and are consecutive for the entire 5289 DLC's, perhaps Denise has the right idea in that perhaps TD was the first one to stake a bonafide DLC, either in his area or period, but others filed theirs first. The whole idea of his claim being first seems silly to me since there were already some people from the United states in the Willamette valley when the wagon train(s?) of 1843 came over, there was a mechanism created by the provisional goverment of Oregon before we actually became a territory to allot land to settlers in a manner similar to the DLC system and if I remember right a DLC couldn't be filed until the area in which you claimed land had been subdivided by the GLO. It makes a good story for the family I guess.

"Covered Wagons Brought Many Settlers Here in 1850" Immigration of Year Notable - Oregon Historical Society Compiles List, Most Complete Ever Published of Pioneers Who Came 75 Years Ago. Oregon gained many new residents in 1850. The territory was becoming better known in the east, since the gold rush to California had created an active market for agricultural product and the Willamette Valley afforded as almost limitless opportunity for production of the staples the gold miners needed. Price was no object in the gold camps and the Oregon pioneers, chiefly agriculturists, were coming in increasing numbers. The following list of the immigration of 1850 to Oregon is from the archives of the Oregon Historical Society and, although not complete, includes most of those who came that year. -------- Additional note: The names were copied in the order they appear in the newspaper article and are not necessarily in alphabetical order. Also, the compiler's copy of this paper had taped crease marks which obliterated some of the names.

I am from Clackamas County so the names mentioned are not germane to my families. I don't know when and how land grants were finally proved up and surveyed and issued but Josiah Burnett's DLC in Douglas County was issued in 1893, 18 years after he died and 33 years after he left Douglas County under May 20, 1862: Homestead EntryOriginal (12 Stat. 392). And he was a surveyor. We have field notes from many surveys in the Roseburg area. Also Philip Foster's DLC was registered in 1877 on land he purchased in 1847 in Eagle Creek under September 27, 1850: Oregon-Donation Act (grant) (99 Stat. 496) . Other family DLC's from Douglas County were registered in 1865. Also the original land had been sold or divided in many cases by the date of issue. So maybe the number does not related to the original settlement on the land. Joanne Philip Foster Farm In a message dated 2/1/2010 8:40:20 A.M.

Hawaiian Standard Time, mygen2 at d-matney.com writes: Yes I agree because we watch the misspellings all the time. As to fact of relationship other than that there is none. Matney comes from Mattingly. Most of the name variants on the Matney page on rootsweb for the my group MATNEY are ones I had at the time. We have over 130 varients of misspellings in Matney and Mattingly. Also De Matenyee again and on back to the Doomsday book my cousin found relations . How ever not touched on enough yet to prove lines. The Matheny/Cooper and Matney/Cooper are two unrelated lines, but yea I know the Matney and Matheny got mixed in spelling as well as Matiny, Matany, Matni and Mantey, all types of typo`s we have found. Also another problem is the wagon masters did not get every one listed because I know of several people who had to be on the 1843 train and the 1850 train I did not see in the list of members, I know Walter did not travel alone but is the only one on it. Also I did not see our Coopers on the 1850. I was wondering if there were other trains in between. I do have pictures of the Matney wagon freight wagons and the Matney folks, not sure of the year but the streets were all mud then. Matney folk had fright wagons went around the mt`ns Alturas, to The Dalls and back around to Dallas and back to CA and all over again, also James B Matney was a scout who led most of the trains from Salt lake to Oregon, not a lot of his mentions either.

I am from Clackamas County so the names mentioned are not germane to my families. I don't know when and how land grants were finally proved up and surveyed and issued but Josiah Burnett's DLC in Douglas County was issued in 1893, 18 years after he died and 33 years after he left Douglas County under May 20, 1862: Homestead EntryOriginal (12 Stat. 392). And he was a surveyor. We have field notes from many surveys in the Roseburg area. Also Philip Foster's DLC was registered in 1877 on land he purchased in 1847 in Eagle Creek under September 27, 1850: Oregon-Donation Act (grant) (99 Stat. 496) . Other family DLC's from Douglas County were registered in 1865. Also the original land had been sold or divided in many cases by the date of issue. So maybe the number does not related to the original settlement on the land. Joanne Philip Foster Farm In a message dated 2/1/2010 8:40:20 A.M.

I've been busy trying to get some of the wealth of information I've been collecting processed and put into a usable format for people to find while online. My motivation has been the steady growth in popularity of the Genealogytrails websites. I started tracking statistics on it about a year and half ago, and at the time, the average visits to the site per day were 2-3 visits, of about a minute average length. When I send out an update like this one, it causes a big spike in the statistics, but then it settles down to "normal" again. But normal is now about 14 people day, with an average time on the site of 15 minutes!

I have recently been doing research on Paisley Scotland and that is why I asked the question. It turns out to be the largest city in Scotland. Even bigger than Glasgow. The cloth Paisley was named after the city, not vise-versa. It turns out that they were a weaving community many hundreds of years ago. Just a little trivia fyi.

That area was located several miles south of Paisley. What person wanted to live by a river, infested by mosquitoes and a rocky bank? Prone to flooding. But in time, the river was dredged to the north side of what is now Paisley, banks built along the river banks (still will flood tho!!) and homes built. Chewaucan was abandoned except now for a cemetery on private land with a few boards still in the area as a reminder of days gone by.

M.M. Cowley last night. ?She was full of charity, generous-hearted to a degree seldom known, sweet-tempered, modest, gifted with a graciousness not often surpassed.

He lived alone on what is known as the old Coe farm. As he had not been seen for several days, his neighbors went to his home this morning and found him lying dead on the floor. He lay near a stove, an arm load of wood beside him, and his white locks covered with the snow which had drifted on him. He had gloves on his hands, and sacks wrapped around his feet, indicating that he entered the house just before he died. The supposed cause was heart disease. Twyman had lived in this county 40 years and at one time was well-to-do, but it is said he gave away most of his property to a woman with whom he was infatuated, who abandoned him shortly after she secured possession.

He lived alone on what is known as the old Coe farm. As he had not been seen for several days, his neighbors went to his home this morning and found him lying dead on the floor. He lay near a stove, an arm load of wood beside him, and his white locks covered with the snow which had drifted on him. He had gloves on his hands, and sacks wrapped around his feet, indicating that he entered the house just before he died. The supposed cause was heart disease. Twyman had lived in this county 40 years and at one time was well-to-do, but it is said he gave away most of his property to a woman with whom he was infatuated, who abandoned him shortly after she secured possession.

We been to Bend and Redmond so much and there is nothing left to see.

In this case, since these specifically dealt with early Oregonians, I've also sent them to Layne and the Early Oregonian database, and to Stephanie Flora for her Oregon pioneers research. But I hoped that the OR-Roots group would enjoy them too. I know I enjoyed reading them! If anyone has material they would like to have put online, you may either send it to me, or if you prefer, I can give you the contact names for the host of the area the items cover. You can choose to have your name associated with them or not. If you later decided you did not want them on Genealogytrails, we hosts would honor your wishes and remove them (if they were credited to you so that we could tell what to remove. All the GT hosts are always very thankful for submissions - some are easy to get online quickly, others require bit of formatting and research to do them justice.

I've been busy trying to get some of the wealth of information I've been collecting processed and put into a usable format for people to find while online. My motivation has been the steady growth in popularity of the Genealogytrails websites. I started tracking statistics on it about a year and half ago, and at the time, the average visits to the site per day were 2-3 visits, of about a minute average length. When I send out an update like this one, it causes a big spike in the statistics, but then it settles down to "normal" again. But normal is now about 14 people day, with an average time on the site of 15 minutes! Here's the list of what's been put online for December and January - my thanks too the people who have provided me with material to use for these updates (you know who you are!) and I still have a lot more to turn into web pages, so watch for more updates soon. I hope you find something for each of your families from Coos county! 1) New 1855 Jury List provided by Andie Jensen. Was your pioneer family here before the 1860 census? 2) New 1949 Myrtle Point Phone book page, Surnames A-G 3) Newspaper clipping on the wreck of the Beda in 1886 4) Updated the Coos county Mason/Masonic Lodge members. Added 23 additional Masons to Masonic Lodge members in Coos County, making a list of over 240 known Masons 5) New Coroner's Inquests page, with 315 deaths in Coos county investigated by the Coos County Coroner (Notes are being researched and shared courtesy of Andie Jensen). 6) Updated the Cemetery listing page to show all sources for cemetery listings, number of interments, and maps to cemeteries where known. 7) Added five more biographies to the Pioneer History of Coos and Curry County page from 1898 8) Added 6 new members to the American Legion webpage 9) Births, Deaths, Marriages and Illnesses [Over 100 new obituaries, 10 new birth announcements, 40 illness mentions, 60 marriages] 10) Added another page to the 1893 Tax Assessment Index, surnames beginning with 'HA' 11) Added two new schools to schools list, Twin Oaks and Riverton, with photographs and additional information (as available) 12) Added new IOOF page with 18 known members, both men and women 13) Created new community page for Bullards, Bandon area with 50 names mentioned 14) Marriage Record Summary created for 160 Coos county marriages - featuring the names, dates, minister, place of marriage and witnesses Robyn rgreenlund61 at yahoo.com Interested in Oregon History?

I have recently been doing research on Paisley Scotland and that is why I asked the question. It turns out to be the largest city in Scotland. Even bigger than Glasgow. The cloth Paisley was named after the city, not vise-versa. It turns out that they were a weaving community many hundreds of years ago. Just a little trivia fyi.

He lay near a stove, an arm load of wood beside him, and his white locks covered with the snow which had drifted on him. He had gloves on his hands, and sacks wrapped around his feet, indicating that he entered the house just before he died. The supposed cause was heart disease.

The problem was the way people were viewed at that time in history. If you were not like everyone else, they thought you were crazy and would lock you up. Sometimes family members who had differences of opinions even on politics would have their family member committed. I was doing research on an ancestor who was committed in the Oregon State Asylum and lived there for thirty three years before she finally died. I never did find out what was really wrong with her but I think she suffered from severe depression because her son was put in prison at age 18 for horse theft. He served his time and when he got out he became a Baptist minister.

I searched online indexes at the following to no avail: Oregon Archives, Oregon Vital Records/Death Index, Genealogical Forum. Are you able to find anything? Thank you in advance for your help.

I have many family members buried there and am planning on being buried there next to my gr grandmother, Ellen Jessup. I too have a gr grandfather, Hulburt. Dewitt Cooper buried there, probably about 1907 but have never found a death cert. for him. He doesn't have a headstone, only a wooden 4X4 sticking up in the back corner along with several others. It just has a letter on it but not his initial. I went to the cemetery office several years ago but they wouldn't look up the death record for me, saying it was too old and fragile - so I still don't know just when he died. Frustrating. Thanks for any help Carroll (Cooper) Summers Dale... Metro oversees that and several pioneer cemeteries. They have a great search system online and a pdf of the cemetery layout/graves. I sent an email to them and have received extra online help from Emma Russac at Metro. She looked up info, emailed me the headstone paperwork which was ordered in 1952. Let me know if you need assistance.

Ida is divorced. Dorothy is 4 11/12, when the census was done on 3d and 5th January, 1920, which gives her a DoB of about Feb 1915. Unfortunately the Oregon Death Index doesn?t have DoB?s much for deaths as early as the 1930?s. And, I don?t see any Oregon Marriages after 1920. If you think she was married in Umatilla, you might write to the Court House there and ask. Once you have a married name, you can go from there. If she married at age 16 or 17, she would surely have had parent(s) permission. Pat In Tucson Dorothy Mae Powell Hi, I posted a few days ago, but haven't seen it come up. I'm trying to track this lady. I had her, her mom, Ida Mckinley, brother, George William, and an uncle, Walter Pugh on the 1930 census for Pendleton, OR. I believe the dad was George b. Powell. I can't find what happened to dorothy. The mom d. 1938, brother, 1995, the uncle, 1955. I've been on the OR. archives, the LDS, the Umatilla co., site, and a bunch more.

I'm trying to track this lady. I had her, her mom, Ida Mckinley, brother, George William, and an uncle, Walter Pugh on the 1930 census for Pendleton, OR. I believe the dad was George b. Powell. I can't find what happened to dorothy. The mom d. 1938, brother, 1995, the uncle, 1955. I've been on the OR. archives, the LDS, the Umatilla co., site, and a bunch more.

Malwarebytes (the first one) is absolutely amazing as far as cleaning up goes.

Ida is divorced. Dorothy is 4 11/12, when the census was done on 3d and 5th January, 1920, which gives her a DoB of about Feb 1915. Unfortunately the Oregon Death Index doesn?t have DoB?s much for deaths as early as the 1930?s. And, I don?t see any Oregon Marriages after 1920. If you think she was married in Umatilla, you might write to the Court House there and ask. Once you have a married name, you can go from there. If she married at age 16 or 17, she would surely have had parent(s) permission. Pat In Tucson Dorothy Mae Powell Hi, I posted a few days ago, but haven't seen it come up. I'm trying to track this lady. I had her, her mom, Ida Mckinley, brother, George William, and an uncle, Walter Pugh on the 1930 census for Pendleton, OR. I believe the dad was George b. Powell. I can't find what happened to dorothy. The mom d. 1938, brother, 1995, the uncle, 1955. I've been on the OR. archives, the LDS, the Umatilla co., site, and a bunch more.

Ida is divorced. Dorothy is 4 11/12, when the census was done on 3d and 5th January, 1920, which gives her a DoB of about Feb 1915. Unfortunately the Oregon Death Index doesn?t have DoB?s much for deaths as early as the 1930?s. And, I don?t see any Oregon Marriages after 1920. If you think she was married in Umatilla, you might write to the Court House there and ask. Once you have a married name, you can go from there. If she married at age 16 or 17, she would surely have had parent(s) permission. Or have gone over to Walla Walla like my grandmother did when she was 13 and needed to get married.

The people there are so very helpful and friendly and will drop everything to help someone. They are to be commended. . Thank you for the info on the Multnomah Park Cemetery. I will make another try at finding gr grandpas death cert. We have many relatives buried there and as a child the family spent every Memorial Day taking loads of flowers to the different gravesites, including gre grandpas (we knew where he was buried, just not when). Many memories. Thank you for your suggestions Carroll (Cooper) Summers I emailed what Sue gave me to the Archives Research email address. Received it back within an hour with a $5.00 invoice! Not bad! I'm sure the process is different if you want it certified. In a separate email I sent the url for Metro. There's a search box at the top right. Type in Pioneer Cemeteries or Multnomah Park and you'll get a new search page. When you search by last name only, you'll receive applicable info from all cemeteries, not just one. I just thought of this. While I was visiting the cemetery Sunday, a gentleman introduced himself as Eric Cordingley. He lives near the cemetery and volunteers his time keeping records updated, looking for gravesites, etc. He may be able to help with cemetery info as well.

They are a statewide database sorted by last name of the male, group in about 5 year sets. So within a census period you should be able to find it on the microfilm for one five year period or the other. Don't know if Washington has the same type of list or not. The Coos Bay library has three of these microfilms in house, 45-50, 50-55 and 60-65 if I remember correctly. But you can probably request the film through the normal microfilm channels.

When the Sam and Rosetta Burr family left Kansas in 1909 for Oregon, it was reportedly to make their fortune logging. They would seem to have been subsistence farmers in the early days, logging when the work was available, with seasonal trips to the Yakima area of Washington State to pick apples. After stays in several places in southwestern Oregon, they eventually settled in the Silverton area, and the family spread out from there. Sam and Rosetta are buried in unmarked graves in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem. Their son Robert Orrin's wife, Ruby Mae (Casebolt) Burr, was my grandmother Strickland's sister, and I am somewhat familiar with this branch of the family. A couple twigs on this family tree have achieved a certain notoriety in the food world. And since a couple folks have asked, this is the Oregon emigrant family -- Samuel Henry Burr, probably the son of Ezra Burr and Angelina Flemming, was born on 12 Aug 1859 in IA. He died on 28 May 1934 in Silverton, Marion, OR from a "sudden death -- probable coronary troubles"; an autopsy was "not allowed". He was likely buried on 30 May 1934 in an unknown and unmarked grave in Salem Pioneer Cemetery, possibly in the same lot as his wife. Samuel married Rosetta Simpkins, daughter of Noah Simpkins and Rebecca Bennett Aturbary / Atterberry, on 12 Aug 1882 in Vernon County, MO. Rosetta was born on 11 Nov 1864 in Illinois. She died on 21 Feb 1933 in Deaconess Hospital, Salem, Marion, OR from following a herniotomy for a "strangulated umbilical hernia with gangrene of ileum". She was buried on 1 Mar 1933 in Salem Pioneer Cemetery (lot FA 12, sp 2 SW), Hoyt & Commercial St, South Salem, Marion, OR. They had the following children: i. Levatta Alvena Burr was born in Jan 1884 in MO. Levatta married a VanSickle before 14 Jun 1900. VanSickle died before 14 Jun 1900. Levatta also married a Scott and a Jordan and perhaps others. ii. Robert Orrin "Bob" Burr was born on 13 Mar 1885/1886. He died on 14 Mar 1967. iii. Charles Frederick "Charley" Burr was born in Sep 1887 in MO. He died in 1951 in OSH, Salem, Marion, OR. He was buried in Bethany Pioneer Cemetery, Silverton, Marion, OR. iv. Samuel A Burr was born in Aug 1889 in MO. v. Celia A Burr was born in Nov 1891 in MO. vi. Otis B "Oat" Burr was born in 18 Jul 1893/1892 in MO. He died in Jun 1968. Otis married Alva [Burr]. vii. Donald T "Don" Burr was born on 8 Jun 1895. He died on 30 Jul 1977. viii. Alvis "Ben" Burr was born in Mar 1898 in Hamilton, MO. He died in a Salem hospital. He was buried in Salem. ix. Alvin A "Duck" Burr was born in Mar 1898 in MO. He died in 1950 in OSH, Salem, Marion, OR. He was buried in Bethany Pioneer Cemetery, Silverton, Marion, OR. x. Ida Burr was born about 1903 in KS. She died in Marshfield. Ida married Fribbey? Tribbie? [Fribley, Freeby]. xi. Orville? Theodore "Ted" Burr was born on 22 Feb 1905 in Burden, Cowley, KS. He died on 26 Dec 1966. He was buried in 29 Dec 1966? in plot SO 2289, Willamette National Cemetery, Portland, Multnomah / Clackamas, OR.

When the Sam and Rosetta Burr family left Kansas in 1909 for Oregon, it was reportedly to make their fortune logging. They would seem to have been subsistence farmers in the early days, logging when the work was available, with seasonal trips to the Yakima area of Washington State to pick apples. After stays in several places in southwestern Oregon, they eventually settled in the Silverton area, and the family spread out from there. Sam and Rosetta are buried in unmarked graves in the Pioneer Cemetery in Salem. Their son Robert Orrin's wife, Ruby Mae (Casebolt) Burr, was my grandmother Strickland's sister, and I am somewhat familiar with this branch of the family. A couple twigs on this family tree have achieved a certain notoriety in the food world. And since a couple folks have asked, this is the Oregon emigrant family -- Samuel Henry Burr, probably the son of Ezra Burr and Angelina Flemming, was born on 12 Aug 1859 in IA. He died on 28 May 1934 in Silverton, Marion, OR from a "sudden death -- probable coronary troubles"; an autopsy was "not allowed". He was likely buried on 30 May 1934 in an unknown and unmarked grave in Salem Pioneer Cemetery, possibly in the same lot as his wife. Samuel married Rosetta Simpkins, daughter of Noah Simpkins and Rebecca Bennett Aturbary / Atterberry, on 12 Aug 1882 in Vernon County, MO. Rosetta was born on 11 Nov 1864 in Illinois. She died on 21 Feb 1933 in Deaconess Hospital, Salem, Marion, OR from following a herniotomy for a "strangulated umbilical hernia with gangrene of ileum". She was buried on 1 Mar 1933 in Salem Pioneer Cemetery (lot FA 12, sp 2 SW), Hoyt & Commercial St, South Salem, Marion, OR. They had the following children: i. Levatta Alvena Burr was born in Jan 1884 in MO. Levatta married a VanSickle before 14 Jun 1900. VanSickle died before 14 Jun 1900. Levatta also married a Scott and a Jordan and perhaps others. ii. Robert Orrin "Bob" Burr was born on 13 Mar 1885/1886. He died on 14 Mar 1967. iii. Charles Frederick "Charley" Burr was born in Sep 1887 in MO. He died in 1951 in OSH, Salem, Marion, OR. He was buried in Bethany Pioneer Cemetery, Silverton, Marion, OR. iv. Samuel A Burr was born in Aug 1889 in MO. v. Celia A Burr was born in Nov 1891 in MO. vi. Otis B "Oat" Burr was born in 18 Jul 1893/1892 in MO. He died in Jun 1968. Otis married Alva [Burr]. vii. Donald T "Don" Burr was born on 8 Jun 1895. He died on 30 Jul 1977. viii.

(Written for the Rural Press by Mrs. F. F. Victor.) To go, or not to go, that was the question, as I stood on the platform at Drain?s (Oregon), trying to settle in my mind whether the Coos Bay country needed me as an explorer, or whether I should be the better or the wiser for anything I might discover at Coos Bay. How the question was decided will appear by these notes; and I must leave out a whole volume of more or less agreeable personal adventures to make room for that which the reading public are more interested in. The road from Drain?s to Scottsburg is the only one traveled at present by wagons across the mountains to that portion of the coast country embracing the mouth of the Umpqua, Coos Bay, twenty miles south of the Umpqua, and the Coquille river, a little further to the south. A road from the bay to Roseburg has been in use, but has become unsafe ; also, another to Oakland, but that also has been abandoned by wagon travel in favor of the Scottsburg and Drain route. It is 36 miles between these two points. The road has cost considerable money, but should have more than as much again expended upon it to make it comfortable, or even safe, especially in the winter season. But, aside from the roughness of the road and the rather primitive accommodations, there is a romantic and interesting country lying in among these coast mountains, well worth the trouble of a visit to see. The road lies along Elk creek, a pretty stream, which it follows to its junction with the Umpqua, and thence down this more important river to navigable water. Many schemes have been proposed for opening communication between the coast country and the interior valleys, among them the improvement of the Umpqua river. Several years ago the Government expended $10,000 in such an undertaking, and a small steamboat was built, which made one trip to Roseburg, after which the navigation of the river above Scottsburg was abandoned. Now the talk is of a railroad, an enterprise which, if carried through, will develop a large extent of mineral and lumbering country lying at present in a Rip Van Winkle slumber. So very slight is the communication between the Coos country and the rest of Oregon that the inhabitants have no hesitation in saying that they belong to Oregon only politically? that otherwise they are a ?province of California.? Let us see, now, what country this is that turns itself into a foreign province for want of the usual feeling of relationship to its own geographical family. Passing over the incidents of a romantic ride of 36 miles, among small cultivated valleys, over mountains in all their primeval grandeur, and again through a somewhat cultivated country on the west slope of the Coast range, we come to Scottsburg. This little burg is named after Capt. Levi Scott, of pioneer memory, who settled here in 1850. For a period of about 11 years it was a thriving business place, being the rendezvous of packers who carried the supplies of all southern Oregon and northern California, then actively engaged in mining, over the mountains on mules. Thousands of mules were kept here for this service, the goods being brought by vessels from San Francisco into the Umpqua river, and hence taken to the interior. At that period there was an upper and a lower Scottsburg, about two miles apart. The steamship Columbia, well known at Portland, was at one time under contract to run into the Umpqua twice a month, on her way up the coast, to deliver the mails. Upon this promise, a newspaper was started at Scottsburg, by Mr. D. J. Lyons, the present proprietor of the ?Scottsburg House,? which was to publish the earliest news to the mining districts before mentioned. But Capt. Dall failed to fulfill his contract, and without news the paper was of no value, therefore it was removed by a new publisher to Jacksonville, and Scottsburg has never since aspired to publish a newspaper. At the time referred to there were ten or a dozen stores in the upper and lower towns, and a considerable export of timber for vessels, masts, piles, ships knees, etc. But the gold mines soon worked out, a good many vessels were lost on the bar at the mouth of the Umpqua, steamers would not come in, and to complete the history of disappointed hopes, the great flood of ?61-?62 carried away the whole of the lower town and a large portion of the upper, comprising most of the business houses. Such was the force of the water that it not only carried away buildings, but tore away the ground they had stood upon, and great trees, rocks and earth fell into the roaring flood with frightful noise and tumult. The Scottsburg of to-day is a sleepy little street of half a mile in length, with two small stores, and other business in proportion. But it is a pretty and picturesque place, with a fine climate, and is more suggestive of a Swiss hamlet than a thriving center of trade, which it once aspired to be. There is a good deal of historical interest about this section of the Umpqua valley. The Hudson Bay Company had a fort or trading post where Elk creek falls into the Umpqua; and Allen, McKinley and McTavish, gentlemen of that company, as well as the venerable pioneer, Hon. Jesse Applegate, after the Oregon Territorial Government was established, went into business in Scottsburg. From Scottsburg, a little steamer runs three times a week to Gardiner, 20 miles further down the river. Gardiner is a lumbering town, doing considerable business in good seasons. Its two mills cut, together, about 75,000 feet of lumber per diem. Vessels of 800 tons and downwards can come to Gardiner to load. The situation to the place is cheerful, and there are several very handsome residences, showing both means and taste in their plan. Three stores and two hotels supply the present demand for food and raiment. One feature of the country about Gardiner struck me particularly-the hillsides are thickly overgrown with red and white digitalis. As I had never before seen the plant growing wild, I inquired into its history here, and was told that it came from seed first planted by Mrs. A. C. Gibbs, who was the pioneer lady of Gardiner. The same plant appears at Scottsburg, but not in such quantity, and also at Marshfield on Coos bay. Gardiner was founded in 1851 by a San Francisco company, of which Gov. Gibbs was a member. There is no better means, at present, of pursuing your journey beyond Gardiner than by a small boat. Into a small boat you go, then, and are rowed over the rather choppy sea of the Lower Umpqua to the beach at Winchester bay, where a wagon is waiting to carry travelers down the beach to Coos Bay. From Gardiner to old Fort Umpqua is but a distance of three or four miles. This fort was built about 1855, to keep in check straggling Indians from the Reservation above, and prevent their joining the hostiles in the Rogue River country. Three companies were stationed there, under Lieuts. Lorain, Peper and Harding. It was abandoned on the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion, in which Lieut. Harding became a General. I neglected to mention in the proper place another historical point lying just above Gardiner. This is Bolon?s island, formerly called Smith?s island, and famous for being the place where Jedediah Smith, of the firm of Smith, Sublette & Jackson, American fur traders, was attacked by the Umpqua Indians in the fall of I828, his furs captured and his party killed, excepting himself and two others, who made good their escape. The incident is fully related in ?The River of the West.? Considering the inhospitable nature of the country where this event occurred, it appears truly wonderful that these men should have been able to save their lives and reach Fort Vancouver. At Winchester bay is what they call in this country, ?a farm;? though how such a place resembles an ordinary farm I could not discover. There must be grass for stock, and a garden patch no doubt. More than that did not seem probable, as the heavily wooded bluffs come down quite close to the beach, and the shifting sand-hills that seem always to be moving further inland. In truth the high mountains nearest the sea are, many of them of sand, though now covered with a growth of scrubby pines and other evergreen trees. My boatman landed me at a point of rocks on the beach, about two miles inside the bar, which could be seen breaking, though the day was unusually quiet. This latter circumstance was very favorable to comfort, as the wind makes a beach ride anything but pleasant when it comes strong from nor?west or sou?west. After waiting three quarters of an hour on the wet sands, the tide being at ebb, my impatience was relieved by the arrival of the beach-wagon, a two-seated vehicle with wheels tired with four-inch broad iron bands, that bowled along smoothly on the firm beach with hardly a jar. In fact the worst feature of this beach ride is its monotony?the sea just the same on one side and the sand hills just the same on the other, for the whole distance, and not the chance of a sensation, if the day be still. I am told, however, in the winter, when the wind comes heavy from the southwest, there is considerable excitement in being chased by the surf, with a strong probability, sometimes, of being overwhelmed in it. The last mile of the drive takes one over sand ridges and through marshes to a station on Coos Bay opposite to Empire City, and about three miles distant, to which place a small steamer conveys you, supposing you do not prefer to go to Marsh hold, as I did. But Coos Bay, this ?province of California,? must have a chapter to itself, and I will close this one by noticing something in the botany and natural history of the country that struck me as interesting. To begin with the natural history: I had my attention called to a species of lizard that has the head of a snake, and the same movement in locomotion, but had also small legs like a lizard, which it did not seem to use in crawling. The marks upon its skin were like those on a snake, and its length was about one foot and a half. This creature is called by the people where it inhabits, the ?jointed snake,? because, they say, it falls into pieces if you strike it, and comes together again! The one I saw lost quite a long piece of its tail when it was struck, and was partly separated in another place, but did not come together, as it was soon put into alcohol. Another curious reptile of the Umpqua valley is the snake with a head at each end. As I did not see one I could not be satisfied that there were really two heads, but from the testimony, I was satisfied there was at least the appearance of two heads. This snake is said to move either way with equal speed, showing that wherever its locomotive power is situated, it is reversible, and that, practically, it is a ?double-ender.? Of the botany of the country, what made a most agreeable impression, was the abundance of elegant shrubs, such as the myrtle, which is in fact a tree, Rhododendron maximus, and a delicate lavender-colored spirea, which goes by the name of ?California lilac,? though not in any respect like that shrub. The myrtle grows in a cone-shaped mass, the dark, glossy foliage being so dense that the trunk and branches are quite concealed. It has, in spring, small blossoms rising on stems from the bases of the terminal leaves, in the autumn a small green berry is in place of the flower. The odor of the leaves is very pungent. The Rhododendron grows six or eight feet high, and presents a profusion of lovely rose-colored flowers, which, as they often grow alongside of the beautiful lavender spirea, are thereby set off most exquisitely. I did not observe any great variety of annuals or humbler wild flowers of any kind. Neither was there anything of interest along the sea beach, neither shells, nor birds, nor even seaweeds. Rather a lonely, voiceless shore, both of river and ocean, but the woods made up in grandeur and beauty for the want of color and life on the coast.

Great Grand MMM was supposed to have been involved in the steam boat trip to Roseburg. Nina and I were talking about that the other day and she was wondering how big it was. Of course her question was stimulated by the fact she was under the impression we were still on the Umpqua when we were about half way to Drain on Elk Creek. I wonder about the phrase "which it follows to its junction with the Umpqua" as I had always thought the "road" somewhat followed the route of highway 38 in terms of cutting across some of the major oxbows. Hmm, I wonder what I could find in the USGLO maps. The story about taking the wagon down the beach from Windy bay to coos bay is very familiar as I have heard many stories about that trip, and it would follow the same route that Grandpa Hansen made on his heroic but futile ride to the doctor for girls buried at the mouth of North fork. I assume by digitalis he is referring to foxglove, I hadn't realized it was introduced. The snake stories sound like tall tales to me, though I know some people feel that the rubber boa is a two headed snake, but trust me, it can't go in either direction.

Great Grand MMM was supposed to have been involved in the steam boat trip to Roseburg. Nina and I were talking about that the other day and she was wondering how big it was. Of course her question was stimulated by the fact she was under the impression we were still on the Umpqua when we were about half way to Drain on Elk Creek. I wonder about the phrase "which it follows to its junction with the Umpqua" as I had always thought the "road" somewhat followed the route of highway 38 in terms of cutting across some of the major oxbows. Hmm, I wonder what I could find in the USGLO maps. The story about taking the wagon down the beach from Windy bay to coos bay is very familiar as I have heard many stories about that trip, and it would follow the same route that Grandpa Hansen made on his heroic but futile ride to the doctor for girls buried at the mouth of North fork. I assume by digitalis he is referring to foxglove, I hadn't realized it was introduced. The snake stories sound like tall tales to me, though I know some people feel that the rubber boa is a two headed snake, but trust me, it can't go in either direction.

Sherrit's young daugher contracted diptheria that in those days often proved fatal. As there was no doctor in Gardiner at that time, Henry volunteered to secure one form Marshfield. This undertaking requird him to rwo down from the North Fork f the Smith River to winchester Bay (around 25 miles) where he borrowed a horse from the stage depot and rode to the north side of Coos Bay at Jarvis Point, hailed a boat and was rowed across the bay to Empire, walked to Mashfield and secured a doctor. The next day with the doctor in tow, they made their way back to the logging camp." [the way I understood the story from hearing it many times in my life was he made the first round trip in 24 hours. Bob goes on to explain one girl had already died by the time they arrived and the other girl soon after and then Grampa took the doctor back in more or less the same manner, hopefully stopping to rest along the way on the return voyage.] That heroic feat is supposedly why Emma Viola thought he would make a good father, I guess since to the grandchildren they had 57 decendant to the grand children [that I can count, I think I am missing two] One note not in the book is that Emma (Tucker) Sherrett became something of a burden for Grandma in her declining years. Our family has a pretty good history of taking care of our own, even when maybe we'd rather not and in the "Letters to Grandma" are several from Emma after Milton passed away thanking her for financial aid and a couple asking for a "little assistance." In those letters I found other family members were also a bit of a burden on Grandma, but she bore it well.

As Zachary's provisions began to diminish, he informed Matney that he would have to provide his own provisions thereafter. When Matney protested, Zachary fired him and left him without resources in the wilderness. Perhaps it was after this that Matney rode the very small jackass that Edward Lennox spoke of in his recollection."We had a great deal of fun also with a man by the name of Mataney [sic]. Mataney was about six and a half feet tall, and when he was on his donkey, his feet nearly touched the ground. To him the boys would say, "Get off that rabbit and carry him!" "Presently J.W. Nesmith bought the jack for five hundred dollars, mounted him, and rode off without paying for him, so Mataney sued Nesmith. The company appointed Burnett as judge. A trial was held at night. Nesmith pleaded non-jurisdiction and won the case. The next day Nesmith rode the jack, and Mataney walked and knew not what to do, but along toward night, Nesmith having had his fill of the fun, got off, saying, 'Here Mataney, take this rabbit, I wouldn't have such a thing.' Mataney mounted the creature and was happy once more." Matney married his first wife in 1847. Apparently she died and he married Julia Ann Cooper in 1853. Matney settled on a Donation Land Claim in Polk County, where he died in 1874" [ Information provided by Don Rivara; in addition to this web site his sources include [1] Our Proud Past, by Gail I.

It seems she might have missed out on the death certificates so I was hoping some one might have run across a tombstone or might be a related researcher and know when she passed and was buried. Walter might always be a mystery unless like above a related researcher might have info lots of people buried in the 1800`s only had wood markers and they were lost in time. I know there are lots of people indexing cemeteries and other such things so once in a while I ask in hopes some one saw something some place. Its most likely a lost part of my genealogy. I know she had lands but I did not find any probates.

I have mine all accounted for and none were in this part of Oregon. GrGr grandparents, Nathaniel Parda Cooper married Sophia Lucinda Cowles in 1835 in Pultneyville, NY in 1835. They had my gr grandfather, Hulburt DeWitt Cooper in 1836 in PA (somewhere). Second son was James FitzJames Cooper, b 1839 in Frankfort, KY. They were in Iowa, Wash. Co. by 1843 until 1860 where they had several daughters and one more son, Theodore Henry (Harry) Cooper. Moving on to CO by 1862 they settled there near Ft Collins until Nathaniel died in 1870. A couple years later all of the boys, one sister and Sophia were in Jackson Co., Oregon. My grandfather, Guy Colin Scott Cooper was b in CO in 1872. James was a school teacher, DeWitt a farmer. In 1884 Sophia made a land purchase in Baker co. near Weatherby. She died there in 1893 and is buried on her 160 acres, high on a hill overlooking the Burnt River, Hwy I-84 and the railroad, all of which run north to south, through the middle of what was her land,. This was also a part of the pioneer trail from Idaho to Baker City. Last Oct. a son took me to Baker City where we found a great many documents and were also able to contact the people who now own a part of her land. They took us up their private road, through their private gate and way up on a hill, so high the big rigs looked like little toys. There we saw the CW headstone for James. It reads: Com. Sgt. (Commisary Sergent), Co. M, 2nd Colorado Calvary with his initials of J.F.J. Cooper. There was no date but he died, never having married, Dec. 25 IBible record) or Dec 26 (Military record), 1889. My grandfather was the only Cooper male from the three brothers. He and his father ended up in Portland around 1906 and both are buried at the Multnomah Park Cemetery at 82nd and Holgate in Portland. All of my Cooper's are accounted for and none are related to other Oregon Cooper's. There were several sisters who are also accounted for and have been in touch with descendants of the youngest one, Edmonia Cooper Ryan whose daughter Grace married a Himmel - lived in Silverton. Just wanted to set the record straight - No Julia in our family. Carroll Cooper Summers There is a "J.S Cooper Block" in Independence, OR. The building/s are of brick. The building fascinated me and I have made a drawing of it as it looks today. This is not, however, a part of my Cooper line. Carroll Cooper Summers thought I would mention my Coopers are the ones who made the big Cooper brick company in Independence Oregon. There is also a very large Cooper headstone in the cemetery out there, not sure if it is one of my Coopers tho. Dan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I hope people enjoy it as much as the last one. Thank you all for your kind comments and interesting connections to this area. Pacific Rural Press, Volume 18, Number 20, 15 November 1879 Coos Bay. [Written for the Rural Press by Mrs. F. F. Victor. ] Coos Bay is an inlet with a mouth like that of a river, and ramifies in many directions, forming narrow sloughs, or bayous, up which tide-water forces itself, making navigation very much dependent upon it. The bar is troublesome and dangerous in the stormy season, needing to be "improved" by the expenditure of money enough to build jetties that would confine the channel between fixed limits, compelling the water to keep the entrance clear. The resources of the country about the bay are sufficient to warrant the appropriation by Government of such a sum, and undoubtedly the day will soon arrive when this work will be commenced. There is a marked similarity between Coos Bay and the general features of Puget Bound, the difference being chiefly in the dimensions. As the Umpqua river is a smaller copy of the Columbia, so Coos Bay is a diminished Puget sound, the wooded shores, the numerous arms and the milling of lumber appearing to reproduce the same effects. So heavily timbered is the country adjacent to its waters that cultivation of the earth is but little carried on, even vegetables and fruits being scarce, while the climate and the soil are favorable enough for their production. This negligence on the part of the settlers sometimes conspires with rough weather on the bar to produce a stringency in the provision market. Last winter, for instance, there were 72 consecutive days when vessels could not come in or go out, and during this period many persons were forced to live on very simple rations, if not on short allowance. It is at such a time as this that railroad projects are discussed with greatest earnestness, and when the people desire something more than a political relation with Oregon. Coming in from the sea, Empire City is the first town arrived at, and is about three miles inside the bar. It is built on a bench of land, with an incline towards the water's edge below it, and with timbered bluffs extending along the bay above and below it, or, as the bay lies, north and south of it. Opposite to it is a long line of sand hills, forming a barrier against the sea, which from the "lookout" on the bluff is plainly visible. Empire City was founded about the same time with Gardiner and Scottsburg ; indeed, all the towns in this region appear to have been started about the same period, from 1850 to 1854. It is a port of entry; is the county seat of Coos; has a shipyard, a large steam lumbering mill, a considerable trade in general merchandise, a large court-house, a fine schoolhouse, one church building, and many pleasant and comfortable private dwellings, besides good hotels, at one of which?Mrs. Lockhart's?l tarried, very happily, for several days. Its population is not more than 300 or 400, and not increasing rapidly since the falling off in business that followed the depression of stocks, and the two years of drouth in California. But a very good class of steamers make regular and frequent trips between San Francisco and Coos Bay, carrying out the idea advanced before, that this is a province of California. It would affords me pleasure to record here many of my personal adventures and encounters with agreeable people, were this the proper place to introduce personal incidents. Suffice it to say, that though the Coos country is isolated and hardly regrets its distance from and independence of the rest of Oregon, it is, socially, a very pleasant spot of earth to fall upon, and one to which we wish a happy and prosperous future. From Empire, one of several small swift steamers conveys us up the bay to North Bend, a distance of two or three miles. This place is entirely a lumbering and shipbuilding point, and is owned by the Simpson brothers. It has a pretty site, is neatly built, has neither hotel nor saloon, but contains within itself all the essentials for the comfort of its people, employers and employed. The mill has a capacity of 28,000 feet per diem. At this shipyard was built the beautiful, full-rigged ship, Western Shore. The fine vessel, the Tam O'Shanter, was also built at this place. The elegant finishing of these vessels is due in part to the beauty of the cabinet woods of this region, especially of the myrtle, which for color and fineness of grain is not surpassed in beauty by any wood in the world. North Bend has rendered itself famous, and done Oregon good service in sending forth vessels of this class to advertise her resources to the world, as well as the talent and enterprise of her shipbuilders. A short distance above North Bend, at the head of the bay proper, is Marshfield, the principal town on these waters. It reminds one of Astoria, being situated on a hillside, and having a considerable portion of its business houses built upon piling or "made ground." What its population is it would be difficult to guess ? probably about 600. It has good hotels, several stores of general merchandise, and the usual supply of special shops, that make a considerable show of trade; extensive wharves and warehouses, and a general appearance of prosperity. Lumbering is the chief business carried on here, which together with shipbuilding employs in ordinary seasons a large number of men. The present season, however, is less active than any former one for a long time, though the mill of Dean, Wilcox & Merchantis running on fall time, its capacity being 40,000 feet per day. The prodigality with which nature has adorned the hillsides atMarshfield with the elegant rhododendrons and other beautiful shrubs was a constant joy to me while I remained there. With so favorable a climate the wilderness in this region ought to be made blossom like the rose. There is the mildness and the moisture in the air that fosters floral beauty, and should I think be equally favorable to fruit. I learned that the experiment of drying fruit for market by the Alden process has been begun by Mr. A. B. Culliver [sic; Collver], who shipped last year $3,000 worth of fruit, mostly apples, to San Francisco. His apples brought 16 cents per pound. But with this exception I could not learn of a business of this kind being carried on. All about Coos Bay on Coos river and the several sloughs are so-called towns; but really they are only small clusters of tenements erected at different points where some enterprise has been undertaken, generally where a coal bank has been discovered and prospected. Where these enterprises have been prosperous, the usual local improvements have been made, and there are schools and stores. But excepting at Newport and Eastport there is almost nothing being done at present in the coal interest. The mines at Henryville, where a large amount of money has been invested, have proven a failure, and the costly works are abandoned. Some coal is being taken out at the Isthmus coal mine, and vessels go to Utter City to load; but the business has so declined that Utter City is almost wholly deserted, and its cottages are empty, while its ample hotel is almost without a guest. This condition of affairs at Coos Bay is greatly the result of the transient habit of the people on this coast, which affects business everywhere. If there is a rumor that something is doing or may be done at a certain point, everybody rushes to that point. Often they are disappointed and fly with just as little reason to some other point. The people do not adopt the country and determine to make the best of it, but endeavor to drain it as rapidly as possible and get away from it. Business, which has been depressed everywhere alike, will revive by and by, and all the sooner if people instead of floating about the country will stay where they are and do the best they can under the circumstances until the tide turns. At least that is the way it looks to a casual observer like myself. Coquille City, though on the Coquille river, belongs to the Coos Bay country, and is a promising new town, in a pretty valley, with a navigable river of its own. The inhabitants with commendable enterprise are endeavoring to build jetties at the mouth of the river to keep open the channel and insure navigation. This is done by private subscription and with money raised by entertainments, including a grand Fourth of July celebration, and will I hope prove a permanent good to the country. Efforts of this kind that show the people have come to stay and "mean business," are the results that in time will win the recognition and success that will repay those investing in the work. This is but a brief account of a rather superficial survey of what was to me an entirely new country. It was easy to see that its development had hardly begun, and that when it should be developed it would be a country of no ordinary resources. What it greatly needs is easy communication with the interior and a population of a settled character. From some notes I made I copy these few figures: Value of real and personal property in Coos county, $ 1,315,562; indebtedness and exemptions, $392,282; taxable property, $921,280; number of persons subject to poll tax, 1,000. The number of horses given in was 22,552, and of cattle 96,310; while of sheep there were only 3,820, and of swine 3,572?which shows the country to be a stock country to a considerable extent, yet not pre-eminently so. In the future, when the forest has given way to the woodman's ax, stock and dairying will become the leading business after the mining interests. http://cdnc.ucr.edu/newsucr Robyn rgreenlund61 at yahoo.com Interested in Oregon History?

Coal mines in the Coos Bay area are the same way. Pretty much from Hauser to Coquille and part way to Bandon on 101 you never get very far from one. The county annex in North Bend has an old mine directly underneath it that burned for a long time. I think about that every once and a while as I drive by, it would be extremely awkward if it caved in some day.

Rough Experience of Ex-Governor Perkins and Party in Oregon A Tramp of Twelve Miles In the Teeth of a Gale on a Wild Beach?One Man Exhausted. The San Francisco Post of last evening says that ex-Governor Perkins, Captain Nelson and C. M. Goodall have returned from a trip through Southern Oregon, where they encountered some of the roughest experiences of their lives. They left here shortly before the recent southeast storm and calculated making their trip before the rains set in. They went overland by rail as far as Drains [sic], where they took a stage and traveled thirty-five miles over a road all cut to pieces by the rains. The passengers, with the lives almost jolted out of them, were finally landed at Scotsburg, whence, after only a few hours' rest, they embarked on a little steamer and sailed down the Umpqua River to the ocean. At this point there was a two-horse stage waiting to take the passengers down to Coos Bay along a beach twenty-two miles long. It had been raining thus far incessantly all along the road, but when the travelers reached the beach it seemed that it had never rained so hard. Beside the San Francisco people there was a minister and another passenger. The wind was blowing from the southeast right in the faces of those in the wagon at something like sixty miles an hour and the sand covered them, blowing up from the beach with the force of a simoon [sic]. At Ten-mile River the jaded animals gave out and could not proceed any further under the heavy load. The passengers all got out and attempted to walk on while the team rested. The rain and flying sand almost blinded them, and it was impossible to make headway against the storm. The driver gave his horses half an hour's rest and then went on. The wearied passengers sensibly got behind the wagon and this gave them some protection from the sand and rain. It was finally decided to send the driver on ahead to get fresh horses, and it looked as it the party would have to camp out all night on the bleak and barren beach. The tide was supposed to be low, but every other beaker rolled the surf higher up on the sand and forced the team and the travelers up among the driftwood. At times the men were almost up to their waists in the water. Governor Perkins dropped behind one time, and in attempting to reach the wagon again, which was only fifty yards ahead, he was well nigh exhausted. The men took turns in driving, and on and on they went, never knowing what moment they were going to be hemmed in by the ocean. With the sea on one side and sand on the other the trip must have been a delightful one. The driver kept on and was soon lost to sight. His objective point was the cabin on the Coos Bay beach opposite Empire City, where he lived and kept his horses. He reached the door and fell in a dead faint. When he had been brought to, fresh horses were given him and he started back, but 100 yards out he met the party almost dead from fatigue. The trip to Empire was completed in a row boat across Coos Bay. In getting back to Drains the party had sixty-five miles of staging out of Myrtle Point, and they spent twenty-four hours in a hardriding mud-wagon. The gentlemen are very glad to get back to San Francisco. Robyn rgreenlund61 at yahoo.com Interested in Oregon History?

Surprisingly, each state has at least one of these digital newspaper collections now (I've been told), as do several other places. There is one on Google, one at the Library of Congress, Ancestry has a series as do genealogybank, footnote and worldvitalrecords. One of my favorite ones is a private collection in upstate New York (which I can remember the name of at the moment). Over 6 million pages on that one when last I checked. Would it be helpful if I created a web page on Genealogytrails with these digital newspapers on on web page to make them easier to find? Or perhaps on a site like Linkpendium.com? This past week I've been steadily going through the ones on the California Digital Newspaper collection and have been transcribing every article I can find that deals with "Empire City". I will be putting these online on genealogytrails very soon so others will be able to find them. If anyone else has clippings they have found that are particularly interesting that they have read, but don't want to transcribe, if you will send me the link to the article I would be happy to transcribe it and post it both here and online for others to see.

The office is just up the street east of what used to be Thorntons Drug Store in Lakeview, which is kitty-corner across from the Indian Village Restuarant. No luck on the BLM site? I won't be going back to Lakeview for some time.....not planned anyway. Privately e-mail me your land description, so if I do happen to be going to Lakeview, I can take a run in to the Title office. They are a great bunch of gals there and very helpful. After the original owner -- maybe 2 or 3 down the line, then go to the County Clerks office and she has all the transcriptions there. They, too, are super helpful.

When I find the copies from the book I will see if they put in a middle initial, this some time is a key item. As is the first name in papers like in a certain year Sheriff Matney HUH?

It has already been mentioned mentioned that there was a 44th Wisconsin Infantry and that it wasn't formed until Autumn of 1864. Since the headstone does not give any date that I can see, I would be inclined to believe that this Rogers was alive long past 1844 and since they did not see any real action (see http://www.secondwi.com/wisconsinregiments/44th%20wisconsin%20infantry.htm ) it would stand to reason that he was still alive after the war even though out of the roughly 1100 soldiers 57 of them died during the Civil war. The 44th was disbanded about the 1st of September, 1865. I just thought I would put my two cents worth into the discussion.

I am a little embarrassed as to have assumed it was O.O.F and Marsha cleared that up. I just saw the caps and did not look any closer, not good for a researcher. Thanks Marsha for this because I will take more time on details from now own lets say * eyes open * I was impressed with the Civil war link and the digital papers. As others, I will make the links on my website clear for folks who visit. Any one with other links that are multi useable folks can send them to me private please. I have learned a lot recently. For those who don't know, I lost about 8 years of really doing good for some reason I was in a depression and now am all alert again, and out here in the fresh air of the high desert really helped get me out of the dumps and writers block. I don't recall last time I was at the Oregon archive but its been a while. So I was not going to try to rescue all my files and cd`s and stuff after the trailer house was trashed and every thing was scrambled, there is laundry soap power on most of the papers and cd`s the trailer did a flip and every thing inside was coated with soap or sewer from what was in the lines as the house landed almost upside down. So the file cabs were destroyed and the desk, both pc`s and the tv, my pc was stuck through a cupboard door, it still booted altho the frame of the pc was so bent the side popped off and the front was missing, I managed to save some things off the hard drive before it stopped working. Now with most things beginning to show up from all the plastic bags we filled I might be able to sorta resurrect my genealogy on this laptop.

Works great on the laptop. Also instead of cd`s for the last 2 years I been using 2 and 4 gig SD cards, many times faster than the thumb drives but I have a few of those too since the trailer crash I stopped using Cd`s, DVD`s and mechanical hard drives. Also I found a place to back up on the web so in case the house sinks with a earthquake I can get a pc and recover. As for HD recovery, I already have what it takes to recover certain things, but with physical damage there just is a lost case there. No we dont take the disks out of hard drives and put them in a new case, this is not something home users are set up for. Besides getting the disks in alignment would be very difficult since the head readers read more than one disk at a time. When something as volatile as happed to my PC I was lucky to get any things back. I put it in another pc last night that I got from a thrift shop and found it was the old PC and not the hard drive, I got the hard drive in as drive D and got it all moved to the newer solid state drive so I have all my data back save for a bit that was lost ( Rogers ) mainly was a new addition and I have it on Cd`s but time will tell because there is a lot of cd`s that got trashed. Lucky I use drag n drop so the cd scandisk can try to recover things. I have gone all solid state these days. I keep a 4 gig sd card inmy laptop and save all newer items there I can take it to my family and not have to carry the larger drives, also I can mail them and they don't get cracked and don't cost much they fit in an envelope and a couple stamps, walla!

According to census records, their oldest daughter was b. about 1858 in Oregon, so they were here early. Their son, Benedict, married my grandaunt, Eliza Griffin, in 1895. You may already have the following information. The Josephine Co. marriage records list Edgar Vandorn to Lettie A. Simkins 04 Feb 1894 (I have her in my records as Lottie). Isaac's death certificate gives his burial place as Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Hugo, Josephine Co., OR. I have not checked on Martha Jane. Neither of these folks is listed on the Interment.net web site listing for this cemetery. Census records show that Lottie (without Edgar) moved to Selah, Yakima Co., WA between 1910 & 1920, possibly to join her parents. In 1910 there is a Noah Simkins & wife Rebecca living in Selah. According to Family Search Washington Death Certificates Lottie Anna Van Dorn d. 05 May 1948 in Yakima, Yakima Co., WA., age 70y 11m 1d, spouse Edgar Van Dorn, father Noah Simpkins, mother Rebecca Atterbarry. Edgar Vandorn d. 09 Dec 1954 in Yakima, Yakima Co., WA, age 91y 7m 27d, father Isaac Vandorn, mother Martha Wright. Some of their children are listed there also, but Noah & Rebecca Simkins/Simpkins are not included in this database.

This Merlin/Hugo area seems to be where the Burr family first settled, and Noah and Rebecca are buried there, too http://www.interment.net/data/us/or/josephine/pleas_val/pleas_lz.htm Contributed by Jean Boling, May 26, 2007 [jeanboling at charter.net]. Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Hugo, Josephine County, Oregon Simkins, Noah, b. 2/8/1844, d. 7/10/1910, Shared stone w/ Rebecca Simkins, Plot B1/R3/L8 Simkins, Rebecca B, b. 10/10/1842, d.

That's what I was looking for -- family in the Yakima Valley -- lends some factual value and logic to Burr family trips to Yakima during the early 1900's. Even though Noah and Rebecca died shortly thereafter, looks like Rosetta's sister Lottie was there for quite a while ... Seems that more often than not, but not always, one sees Simpkins in the records before Oregon and Simkins thereafter ... Again, Thanks! And yes, the Talent Historical Society is another alternative to the SOHS closure, as well as the RVGS in Phoenix. -- and don't forget the library at the college in Ashland (it will always be SOCE to me) -- my folk's (and thus mine) first two homesites are now part of the campus, as well as the site of the hospital where I was born.

I keep up with the news of the Rogue Valley on line reading the Medford Mail Tribune each morning. After 57 years living there it is difficult to give them up. My Cooper family were Early Settlers of Jackson co. and moved in 1884 to Baker Co. There two more lines, the Jessups and Clerkins came just before 1900, eventually most settling in Portland where I was born and raised. This genealogy research is a fascinating obsession!

He rode a mule and was of fun of people making jokes. He was also the one in the fuss with Nesmith over that mule . There is a story about that in a few articles I have collected. I went the the Nesmith cemetery years ago and took a lot of pictures and have them all to add back to my website one day. Once I saw a note that said for the beginning of the trail to start in Sapling grove that is now Kansas but I dont recall where I got that note from just off hand. The thing that bothers me is the paper trail for Walter has a probate, and I have that. I just dont understand why I cant get a idea of his burial. In the Article Alturas ( Doris Bridge) I have the article for Sam K Matney, called Tule `E Dad, and also mentions there is a old picture of the sherrif at that time with hin in it, also that he scapled Indians to show they were not the only ones who could do that. There is info about Walter and Sam raising pigs living in a cave in Jess valley and that Sam is buried there, since there are no stones I dont know just where, some one once said they knew and would send me a picture but never did, might have been because I was offline 7 months just after that. Seems if there was a probate there ( must ) be more paper work some place. Other Pioneers are Walters dad and Brothers, not all were listed so far as Ican find out on the trails. James Madison Matney was a scout who led the trains from Salt Lake to Oregon, dont see mch on him either.

For some unknown reason I have not researched the Van Dorn family except for Benedict & his parents. Maybe it's because I have not felt a "kinship". As I mentioned in an earlier post, Benedict married my grandaunt Eliza Griffin. Sad part of my family history -- Eliza died in childbirth in 1896. Benedict vowed the baby could not be his, and would have nothing to do with it. Eliza's father also would have nothing to do with the baby, and the family had no idea even if it was a boy or a girl. Gr-grandpa Griffin brought Eliza's body back to be buried in the Griffin Cemetery outside Jacksonville. Benedict moved to Lake Co., OR where he died in 1935, and the family apparently had no further communication with him. Happy part of my family history -- about 5-6 years ago a member of the Josephine Co. Historical Society contacted my aunt (then still living in Grants Pass) about a lady who had pictures of Benedict & Eliza " in silver frames". Took us about 2 years, but we finally made contact with the owner of the pictures -- portraits in silver PAINTED frames, and she gave them us. Anyway, I suppose you already know that Noah (he's listed as Nvah Sinkins on the Oregon death index on Ancestry) d. in Josephine Co., and Rebecca Simpkins d. 27 Mar 1916 in Douglas Co. Two more death certificates for me to pick up on my way through Salem as I head north from sunny Arizona, and two more obits to look for next time I visit the Washington State Library ........ !!

Sorry for the mis-information. Now I really have no guesses as to why Edgar & Lottie moved to eastern Washington. I think I better "mind my own business".........

I checked and they all work, though you will have to search out the actual search page on the New Brunswick link. Also Vital search is now pretty much all a pay site, but still can get a little bit out of them free. Les C Researching Government Records Local government record sources vary by size of community and general variations; County seats and other administrative centers are going to have more information. Smaller communities may have no organized official records at all. How well records were kept varied a great deal over time and by areas. Massachusetts has many small communities where excellent records were kept from fairly early in their history and have been compiled into easily usable books. Conversely the deep South has many communities where almost no records exist before 1865 as a result of the War of Rebellion. Unfortunately even areas where the norm was to keep good records there have been lapses. One set of records near and dear to me is the Concord, Massachusetts Vital Records as nearly every page has Kin on it and half of some pages are in my family file; Concord Registers Book 1 page 7: "From the date (September 17, 1659) when Simon Willard made the foregoing return until February, 1654, no record of Births, Marriages and Deaths in Concord is to be found . . ." The most common repository of records in the U.S. is in County seats, or similar government levels, this is commonly where almost all probate records and land records will be found. Often these are the only records that are available with any useful information, especially in 18th century and earlier. Again there is a wide variation in how helpful county governmental bodies are concerning requests for information. I recently visited the Douglas County Courthouse and found the staff very supportive of my quest which was very different from my previous visit where I seemed to be "imposing" on them to be there at all. Perhaps my previous visit I just caught them on a bad day. Some county seats have a very good system for finding records and on the other hand at PLSO conference a few years back the County surveyor for one of the smaller Eastern Oregon Counties mentioned that his records were in two or three cardboard boxes under a desk in is office. States have a wide degree of variation, not only in what they will share, but how easy it is to get. Getting anything out of the Federal Government usually involves paperwork, patience and money in about equal amounts. On the following pages you will find some examples of currently available information from various sources. For specific locations my best recommendation is to google the location name and "search within results" for genealogy to get some relevant listings. I have often located specific postings for people of interest by following with another "search within results" for surname. What the good web sites you find this way will have is listings of where lookups may be available, what online information is available and most important, who and where to contact city, county or State offices for copies of original documents. First some of my favorites; For the state of Missouri for starters; http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/birthdeath/ This is a somewhat complex site, but it provides you with pdf's of actual birth and death records for the 19th century as they have them available, and also index entries for some of the 20th century, these indexes are quite helpful, much more info than your usual "name and date and county of birth if your lucky, these have mother's maiden name and some other details though they are very insistent that you should order the actual document cause they can't guarantee the info. A lot of the birth entries do not have child's given name, it seems to me even some of the original certs don't, and as I said the person you are looking for might or might not be available. Closer to home for me; http://www.deathindexes.com/oregon/index.html some of the information on this page is fee based, but the Oregon Death Index 1903-1930 is a freebie and some of the county info is also. For those with specific Oregon requests they should contact me off list as I may be able to connect them to resources for lookups in some areas that aren't obvious. California; Rootsweb death index; http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/death/search.cgi http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/ the worst of that site are the pre 1940 death indexes which are poor quality scans of the index pages, if you have some skill at digitally enhancing them they become a little easier to read, but i am sure I have a dozen or so misread dates in my data file, but am too cheap to order the certs. (you may notice a pattern here, I pretty much only pay for folks in my immediate ancestry, or where I can find a real bargain, unless I am getting stuff out of county courthouse records or for someone else) Illinois; http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases.html very good for indexes of death and marriage, no birth info. One of the eccentricities is some states won't give you birth info, some won't give you marriage, but everybody figures after your dead your info should be available. Also in Illinois; http://jersey.ilgenweb.net/ granted this is mostly just one county, but if you happen have kin there, or if they ever were there for any period of time this site may have something on them. New Brunswick; http://genealogy.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.gnb.ca/Arc hives/e/Default.asp yes, I know that isn't part of the Western United states, but thought I'd throw it in. Washington Vital Records; Washington (the state) is making the most comprehensive effort to make vital records available, the key to using these however is to click on the "show all records" link for the record type you are interested in and then you can come back to this page when you are through, if you just click on the record type you have to go back and start a new search when you finish that type and clicking on the "open in a new window" just gets you an error message. http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx here is what Wheeler nets in that database; oops, never mind that! I've never done that before, the page I meant to paste in here was 15 lines, but somehow it was linked to the "show all records" and for most of the sets of less than a hundred it showed them! Here again a lot of originals are available as pdf or whatever ( another nice feature is they give you a choice of formats) but not by any means all of what is even indexed. Western states marriage index; http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/westernStates/search.cfm apparently this is based at least in part on contributions or some arcane system of deciding what to include; the Oregon entries seem to be mostly east of the Cascades. I think it may have to do with teh host for the database?? Last but not least; Arizona; http://genealogy.az.gov/ I thought they had marriage too, but I don't see it, they are most open about stuff as they seem to have a lot available and it comes as a pdf of rhe original For persons of Massachusetts ancestry try googling the town name followed by the words vital records and you may be able to download the entire book of vital records up to 1850. This will also get you similar results for a few other locations. People with a large number of towns of interest there might want to inquire of my personal database.

Wood, Grand Commander Indian War Veterans - Mr. Dear Sir: I never desired a biography of myself to be written. The world and mankind are not interested in my adventures, struggles, afflictions, sad bereavements and tender affections. The pen of no true friend, or myself, can at this time furnish thought to illuminate my very dark pathway this far in life. It seems to me now that there was never a sound reason, or necessity, for my having to breathe, but, as I did breathe, it has always seemed to me that I should have breathed the sweetest, brightest and balmiest air on earth. I am now convinced that the world never wanted me, as no important place was created for me to fill. Lieutenant Thomas J. Small was born in Mount Pleasant, Maury county, Tennessee, December 9, 1834, and spent his boyhood days there, in attending school and in learning a trade with his father. He came of steady Scotch-Irish stock. He moved to Missouri with his father in 1852, and settled in Otterville, Cooper county, in May. In the spring of 1853 he spread his wings, left his home nest and started across the plains for Oregon, to build for himself, if possible, a home nest on the Pacific slope. He was six months and eleven days crossing the plains, and settled in the town of Champoeg, Marion county, in the fall of 1853. Champoeg was a small, old town, built on the bank of the beautiful Willamette river, at the head of steamboat navigation in summer, 25 miles from Salem or Oregon City. Much history of Oregon springs from this place. It was here Lieutenant Small formed the acquaintance of Robert Newell, J. D. Crawford, David Weston, John Howard, Ed Dupuise, John Mull, Hiram Simpkins, Reese, John and Mark Stephens, and Green Arnold, American pioneers and history-makers. Also with hundreds of French pioneers, among whom were N.A. Connoyer, Antoin Revais, Chamberlains, Joseph Despard and many others. It was here he first met O. Hummason of The Dalles, Victor Trevitt, of Salem, and John Smith, from across the river near Butteville. In the summer of 1854 he was in the Rogue river country with Mr. Hyde, a government surveyor, who had a contract to survey and plat 76 townships in that part of the territory. An Indian war broke out in Eastern Oregon and Washington in 1855, and, under a proclamation of Governor George L. Curry, Connoyer, Revais and Small recruited a company at Champoeg, of French, French half-breeds and four or five Americans, most all of whom were from French prairie. Narcisse A. Connoyer was elected captain, A. Revais first lieutenant and T.J. Small second lieutenant. The organization was known as company K, was mustered in at Portland, October 30, 1855, and immediately started for The Dalles, by way of Fort Vancouver and the Cascades. With the beginning of this march the company commenced to make history for itself and Oregon. The greatest mistake possible for any man to make is to endeavor to correct errors of early historians from memory. It is well known that a great majority of men are born into this world without a good thinking apparatus on their shoulders, but, if I differ from some of your early historians, I hope they will not accuse me of thinking wrong. I was quietly puffing at my meerschaum - a Missouri cob - when "The History of Indian Wars in Oregon" came to hand. I drew a meditative whiff and gave a low whistle, as I opened it at "The Yakima War" and then commenced to devour its contents. After reading the part devoted to the Oregon troops, the thought came to me, If this is true history, Lieutenant T.J. Small was not in any Indian war, company K was never enlisted, Governor Curry never issued a proclamation calling for volunteers, and such men as J.W. Nesmith, James K. Kelly, Mark A. Chinn and Narcisse A. Connoyer never existed, except in the prolific imagination of myself, and all my day dreams, for forty-odd years, of being engaged in an Indian war in Eastern Oregon, must be a myth. So all my visions of those days vanished in smoke. All historians and makers of history should remember that character and reputation for fairness, truth and honor, is the most enduring of riches. No one expects a historian to be generous, but he is expected to be truthful and just. The march to the relief of Major Haller, through snow and extreme cold, by the First regiment, O.M.V., and the incidents connected with it, is hardly noticed. All who made that march, through snow, sometimes three feet deep, and a bitter cold wind, will remember it through life. The command found Major Haller, and returned with him in safety to The Dalles, from which point Captain Connoyer was ordered to march immediately to Fort Henrietta, to reinforce Major Mark A. Chinn, which he did. Captain Connoyer, with company K, arrived at Fort Henrietta November 27, and went into camp outside the fort. With it arrived Lieutenant-Colonel James K. Kelly. I know not with whom he left The Dalles, but I am sure he arrived at Fort Henrietta under escort of company K. Here I met for the first time the brave, noble, warm-hearted and generous Major Mark A. Chinn, who built the fort and named it, but for this work he was secretly charged with cowardice by some of his small under-officers. At the battle of Laroque's farm these same men learned who the cowards were, and Major Chinn was not one of them. A braver, truer and kinder man I never met in the army. Sweet to me, even now, is the memory of this noble man. Upon arriving at Fort Henrietta, Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly took command. He called a council of war, at which it was decided to move at one for Fort Walla Walla. Orders were given to prepare rations and be ready to move at sun-down, December 2, which was done. It rained most of the nigh and was very dark, still our little force moved on silently. I know not when other companies arrived at Fort Walla Walla, but ours got there with both feet, a little after sunrise. We found the fort robbed and plundered, the interior badly defaced, and the Indian devils gone. We went into camp a short distance from the fort on the morning of the 3d. On the 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th we skirmished with Indians. Company K marched alone into Indian valley, into a deep ravine on the Touchet river, and scouted all that country, returning to Meina camp, at the mouth of the Touchet, on the night of the 6th. Peu Peu Mox Mox, or Yellow Serpent, and those with him were killed, and the body of Peu Peu Mox Mox mutilated, ears cut off, scalped and other indignities, on the night of December 6, in camp at mouth of Touchet river, and not during the battle of Laroque's farm. On the morning of the 7th, the Indians came down from the hills across the Touchet, under a flag of truce, and demanded the release of their chief and the other prisoners. After exchanging flags a few times, Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly ordered Captain N.A. Connoyer and Captain O. Hummason, with their companies, to cross the Touchet and take position to defend camp. Company K moved across. Hummason, with the Wasco boys, followed, and one other company, not now remembered, and soon the four days' fight was on, known as the battle of Laroque's farm. We had fun chasing the red-skinned beauties seven miles, but, when the entire force of Indians met us at Laroque's farm, the fun was over, and business of vital importance was on hand, for it kept us all busy to retain scalps on our heads. For four days this bitter and hard-contested battle raged, no one knowing what the result might be. Every inch of ground was fought over, and the contending forces camped in sight of each other. To the music of the tom-tom Indians danced the scalp dance every night. Stubborn pluck of the whites at last scattered the Indians, with a loss to them of about 180. If any of the First regiment, O.M.V.'s, had bayonets on their guns I failed to see them, and my eyes were wide open, so those bayonet charges are pure fiction. The howitzer that exploded did so from being loaded with trind balls and sand, the balls having been poured out on the sand. I, with company K, was near when it happened. On December 9, 1855, Lieutenant T.J. Small was 21 years old, and in battle with Indians in Walla Walla valley. Have never celebrated my birthday in the same way. After the battle of Laroque's farm the command moved to Howlish Wampool camp, where he had built a fort to protect himself, friendly Indians and settlers from bad Indians. Found them all safe and winter coming on. The Indians and settlers were moved on to the Walla Walla river, and Lieutenant T.J. Small, with a part of company K, detailed to guard them and their property. Remained with them until spring. The main camp was in winter quarters, 14 miles away. Colonel Cornelius will, or should, know this statement true, as he was in my camp, after cattle - but, will close this. May some day finish my rambling story. Respectfully yours, T.J.

Message-ID: <249457.14311.qm@web112402.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Charleen and Les - hope you enjoy this one too! A Dreadful Experience Story of a Barren Beach Between Gardiner and Empire City The Los Angeles Herald has this story of the Oregon coast: The last part of the Pacific coast to settle up will be that portion lying between Coos bay and the mouth of the Umpqua river, a stretch of 22 miles, with as bleak and inhospitable a bit of coast was ever seen. In the past 40 years as many cessels have laid their bones on those cruel sands. From the first settlement of Coos bay til 1859 there were no stages on that beach. The mailcarrier made his weary journey on foot and was ferried across the river by an Indian, who lived below the old fort. Lewis Leibman, one of the oldest commercial travelers on the coast, is staying at Hollenbeck. In 1871 he was engaged in purchasing hides and furs through that country, and the mailcarrier on the beach was a sturdy Englishman names Joseph Hare, nearly six feet high and a mass of muscle. They left Coos bay about 2 p.m. And jogged along about three miles per hour up that stormy beach. It was nearly 6 o'clock and quite dark when they reached Winchester Head, a round butte that lies on the south bank of the Umpqua. There they found a skiff that had been left for Hare to cross in and shot out into the angry stream, swollen by winter rains and roughened by a strong southerly wind. Frail as was the little skiff, Hale managed her with consummate skill and was within 50 feet of the opposity shore when a monster wave swamped the boat. Both men came up at once and caught the gunwale of the boat, which they sought to push toward the land, but the angry stream carried them down toward the ocean several hundred yards before they could effect a landing. Then it was that Leibman discovered that Joe Hare was so badly chilled that he could not walk. He called loudly for help, but no one heard him. To the Indian's cabin where the boat was usually kept was about a half mile, but it seemed like five miles to the sturdy little drummer, who shouldered his helpless companion and walked along a narrow trail, a few steps at time. He was upwards of an hour at this job when suddenly the welcome bark of an Indian dog rang out on the cold night air. The Indian was away from home, but his squaw came to his assistance, and the two benumbed travelers were alongside of a warm fire in the Siwash's hut. Liebman is a much smaller man than Hare, and his success in saving his comrade could be ascribed to downright pluck and perserverance. In a conversation with one of the Herald's reporters last night at the Hollenbeck, the reporter recalled the incident, and the jolly little drummer laughed heartlily over it, but it evidently was not much of a laughing matter at the time it occurred.

Henry Rogers, Co.F of the 44th Wis Infantry Buried at an unknown time at the Laurel Grove Cemetery in Springfield, Lane County, Oregon. There is only one Rogers listed on FindAGrave in this cemetery. Other pictures of Laurel Grove show it to be a badly overgrown cemetery. Is there a census somewhere in Springfield/Eugene? I noticed that on another list you knew some of the names of people in Laurel Grove. Was one of them Elizabeth? On the website, you have listed one George Harvey Rogers, who m Alice Brothers - Harrisburg Dec 18 1940. When and where was he born? I found a DC for Alice Rogers, spouse George, who died 18 Dec 1840. So, I'm thinking that's your person? The 1900 gives us some additional information.

I have only the Oregon census so far 1900 and 1920 I have most all the death certs for the folks who would have died after the certs take effect. Yes my Aunt was upset they let the place over grow, Its loaded with poison oak I guess that might be a part of it. I have not got access to the micro films listed on the civil war pages so that's going to be a problem. No we don't know if he was married before and I have been so busy just sorting my files that I have not had much chance to look for any thing since I started this a week ago. Rogers is my week point since its been sitting to long. I see where Henry is William Henry and there is a Henry William from NY also. I don't know if Henry had brothers n sisters or any thing, I know the tree on thiside tho . Let me digest what you wrote here and see what clues you have. thanks Dan M ----- Original Message ----- From: Kith-n-Kin To: 'or-roots mail list' Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 2:36 PM Subject: Re: [or-roots] Henry Rogers>death date unknown OK, trying to moosh this all together. Henry Rogers, Co.F of the 44th Wis Infantry Buried at an unknown time at the Laurel Grove Cemetery in Springfield, Lane County, Oregon. There is only one Rogers listed on FindAGrave in this cemetery. Other pictures of Laurel Grove show it to be a badly overgrown cemetery. Is there a census somewhere in Springfield/Eugene? I noticed that on another list you knew some of the names of people in Laurel Grove. Was one of them Elizabeth? On the website, you have listed one George Harvey Rogers, who m Alice Brothers - Harrisburg Dec 18 1940. When and where was he born? I found a DC for Alice Rogers, spouse George, who died 18 Dec 1840. So, I'm thinking that's your person? The 1900 gives us some additional information. Henry Rogers, b Nov 1829, age 70, married 35 years, (this is penciled over "47") so married about 1865. He b NY, father b NY, m b VT, no occupation Elizabeth W, wife, b Jul 1844, 55, m 35, five children, four living.

And I only know they are somewhere in the US. So far I have found about Six Wm ma Ann and of those I think four had a son robert. I was able to find Emma and here husband at the above site by listing daughter Grace and her age +/- 2 years. I tried to search Grace with head of House hold Albert, but came up empty because he is listed as AH, but "usually" I can find someone at that site if they are in the census. I never did figure out Milan Melvin until I paged through the Census and found him only one correct vowel.

H. McCubbin Obit below Polly's father. I just know I'm (nancy) related to J H McCubbin of Lostine and his father William Richard McCubbin. and Nancy (Bilyeu) McCubbin, who came from Miller county, Missouri, to Oregon. These McCubbins came SAME YEAR 1852 as my James McCubbins from Missouri, But I can't find a direct link very madding. so close but yet so far from connecting.. **Lostine, Wallowa County, Oregon Obit. J. H. McCubbin, who passed away at his home in Lostine on January 31, 1910, was well known in that town and throughout the surrounding county and his qualities were such as gained for him the respect and friendship of all with whom he came into contact. In his business career he won success and was honored by reason of the straightforward methods, which he always followed. He was born in Miller county, Missouri, on October 25, 1845, the son of William R. and Nancy (Bilyen) McCubbin, who came from Miller county, Missouri, to Oregon. J. H. McCubbin was reared on his father's farm and acquired his education in the common schools. When a young man he apprenticed himself in the blacksmith trade to his brother-in-law, J. H. Brown, with whom he later entered into partnership in that business. For about one year after his marriage in 1872 he resided in Clackamas county, but in 1873, removed to Wasco county where he engaged in farming and did such blacksmithing as his few neighbors wished done. In 1877 he came to Wallowa valley where he purchased two hundred acres of school land adjoining the town of Lostine and subsequently he added to this until his holdings comprised in all four hundred and eighty acres. He lived on that place until 1906 when he rented the same and moved to Lostine where he spent the remaining years of his life in retirement. On the 4th of September 1872, Mr. McCubbin was united in marriage to Miss Marietta Young, who is a native of Clackamas County and a daughter of Joseph and Emily (Barnes) Young. Her parents moved from Missouri to Clackamas County, where they took up a donation land claim and resided on the same until the mother's death, when the father went to Wasco county and there made his home with his son Jerry until his death. To Mr. and Mrs. McCubbin were born six children of whom four survive: Rebecca, the wife of James T. Johnson of Morrow county; Bertha J., who is Mrs. H. A. Kuhn of Wallowa county; Dolly E., who is Mrs. F. L. Pearce of Bellingham, Washington; and Violet W., the wife of W. H. Kuhn of Lostine. The deceased were: Andrew J., who died in infancy; and Mary A., who passed away when twenty-two years of age. The demise of Mr. McCubbin, the husband and father, was deeply deplored by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. In politics Mr. McCubbin was a Jackson democrat and took an active in local party work. He served as county assessor of Union county when Wallowa county was yet a part of the same, and in 1880 while in that office, was census taker of this county. After the division of Union and Wallowa counties, Mr. McCubbin was for two term's assessor of Wallowa County. Fraternally he was a member of the Lostine Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and of the Anthony Chapter No. 88, of the Order of the Eastern star, of which chapter Mrs. McCubbin is also a member. Mr. McCubbin was one of the foremost citizens of Wallowa County and was highly esteemed by all that knew him. He was quick to recognize the rights of others and he looked at life from a rational standpoint that brought him a clear understanding of the conditions of the world, its possibilities and the obligations that rested upon him in his relation to his fellow men and in citizenship. Mrs. McCubbin resides in Lostine and has a wide circle of friends and acquaintances there who hold her in the highest esteem. Thanks to Gerald (Gary} Jaensch for providing this information.

I am looking for her as she is a descendant of Margaret Elizabeth Melton who married ????. Margaret Elizabeth Melton was daughter of Johnnie Melton and Ida Mae Phillips. Ida Mae Phillips was daughter of Charlie Phillips and Margaret May Lafferty. I have tried to get a phone number and have hit dead ends there. So if any one knows her please pass on a message. Margaret May Lafferty was my father's younger sister. My dad was really old when I was born. I did meet my aunt May several times and she came to our home in San Diego, CA to visit my dad. It was the last time I saw her. She brought dad the old Lafferty family Bible and a small study Bible that had the information of Ida Mae Melton's marriage in it. The Lafferty Bible is already spoken for but this little Phillips/ Melton Bible I would like to give to a family member as I am getting old and my children already plan to burn anything thing they can not figure out what it is. That bible will be one of the things that will go in the fire.

He was married 3 July 1848 in Peoria, Illinois to Mary Jane Bunn. After they came to Oregon they were divorced in Douglas County. He married (2) Mary Jane Conner in Douglas County. She was the daughter of William Conner II and Theodotia Layton. John Hamlin died 8 Dec 1878 in Polk County. He is buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, between Sheridan and Ballston, OR. Pleasant Hill Cemetery, also known as Red Prairie Cemetery. 2.5 miles west of Ballston. Site of former Methodist Episcopal Church, T. 6S, R. 4 W., Section 12. Caretakers who live in adjoining property from the Conner Donation Land Claim: Jerry and Janet Smith, address: Sheridan, Oregon. The Pleasant Hill Cemetery is located on the Nathan Conner Donation Land Claim and was established in 1852. Polk County Cemetery Book Volume 5 page 56. John L. and Mary Jane (Bunn) Hamlin's daughter, Mary Fidelia Hamlin, married Stephen Elbridge Steward in Coos County 24 Sep 1866 in Coquille at the home of her mother and stepfather, John T. Moulton and Mary Jane (Bunn) Moulton. According to John L. Hamlin's estate papers, he and Mary Jane (Conner) Hamlin, had 3 sons: John Hamlin, Ralph Hamlin, and Waldo "Wally" Hamlin.

Mrs. Lendberg's little green house served as the post office and it still stands with flagpole on Pleasant Valley Road, just down the street from the present day post office. Merlin had two school districts in 1886: the Jump Off Joe School District had 54 children educated at a cost of $77.00; the Louse Creek School District had 26 pupils with a cost of $63.00. These two districts combined to form Merlin School District #24 in May of 1894. There was a brick school house built in 1912 on the spot where the present day elementary school sits. A bell from an older school was placed in the brick building and when it was demolished in 1963, it was given to the Merlin Community Baptist Church where it hangs today. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He didn't refer to it as Jump off Joe Creek...but more as the place name of an area. I have always had a curiousity about the name and have a lot of skepticism about the story of Joseph McLaughlin. For one thing, there are such a number of places in Oregon and Washington called Jump Off Joe. I have wondered if it might have been a popular slang term of the time or if it referenced the nickname of a specific person. When you look at the historic tendancy to bestow nicknames ("Lighthorse Harry" Lee; "Swampfox" Francis Marion, etc.) it seemed possible to me that there was actually someone whose nickname was Jumpoff Joe. A few years ago I found reference to Jumpoff Joe McAlester (or McAllister...he is listed under both spellings) who was involved in the Modoc Indian uprising. Food for thought...

It is an area at the base of Sexton Mountain. We used to take that exit to visit my aunt until a couple of years ago when we moved her to an assisted living facility up in Canby. There is an RV park at the falls on Jumpoff Joe Creek that is accessed via the Hugo exit 66. Depending on which "history" you read, Jumpoff Joe Creek was named after Joe McLoughlin who fell over the edge of a bluff into the creek and received very severe injuries, or that he was being chased by a band of Indians and when he reached the bluff above the falls, his hunting partners yelled for him to "Jump off, Joe", which he did, incurring severe injuries that resulted in his death. The Indians of Jump-off-Joe creek, along with those of Grave creek & Wolf creek, are mentioned in the History of Southern Oregon, published in 1884. They are identified as "non-treaty" Indians who did not sign onto the 1853 treaty. A few miles further (maybe 10) on the road off exit 61 is Merlin. My Dad was working in a fruit packing plant in Merlin (many, many years ago) where he met my mother when she got a job at the plant, and the rest, as they say, "is history".

It too had no date, just rank and company. I sent a photo of it to David Samuelson and he located from NARA (I think) a card showing the same information plus a date. Why it was not on the stone is a mystery. The govt. supplied CW headstones from about 1864 to 1903 and this one was on the pinkish side. My grandson, who had recently finished a five year enlistment with the OR Ntl Guard recognized it as a military headstone as soon as he saw the photo we took. If you have Ancestry you can see a copy of the card by searching for James FitzJames Cooper (J.F.J. COOPER on the headstone). His is the last card shown. Carroll Cooper Summers I made an error. Its been so long since I saw the headstone picture I thought it was I.O.F. Wrong - my applogies. Its O.O.F. All it says on the stone is his name, O.O.F. and 44 wis.inf. thats where I had the memory that I thought was 1844. SO now that I found this, the only thing I dont know is why no death date? Why no records of the burial if there is a stone and how do I find out any thing more? The picture is 18kb if any one wants a copy.

So I was not going to try to rescue all my files and cd`s and stuff after the trailer house was trashed and every thing was scrambled, there is laundry soap power on most of the papers and cd`s the trailer did a flip and every thing inside was coated with soap or sewer from what was in the lines as the house landed almost upside down. So the file cabs were destroyed and the desk, both pc`s and the tv, my pc was stuck through a cupboard door, it still booted altho the frame of the pc was so bent the side popped off and the front was missing, I managed to save some things off the hard drive before it stopped working. Now with most things beginning to show up from all the plastic bags we filled I might be able to sorta resurrect my genealogy on this laptop.

Henry Rogers, Co.F of the 44th Wis Infantry Buried at an unknown time at the Laurel Grove Cemetery in Springfield, Lane County, Oregon. There is only one Rogers listed on FindAGrave in this cemetery. Other pictures of Laurel Grove show it to be a badly overgrown cemetery. Is there a census somewhere in Springfield/Eugene? I noticed that on another list you knew some of the names of people in Laurel Grove. Was one of them Elizabeth? On the website, you have listed one George Harvey Rogers, who m Alice Brothers - Harrisburg Dec 18 1940. When and where was he born? I found a DC for Alice Rogers, spouse George, who died 18 Dec 1840. So, I'm thinking that's your person? The 1900 gives us some additional information.

SO far we have not found any one who has recorded any Matney/Mattingly pioneer mentions too much. There is a great deal of history for folks in the era and each name I read about seems to have its own history, very much fun reading about all names of the times, I always wonder how it really was all these people on the wagon train 1843 so to speak.

Anyway, of the former, less related one, I found the Matheny name popping up again, which, since it has been a topic on this list, I thought might be of interest to some: _______________________________________________ or-roots mailing list or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.us http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots _______________________________________________ or-roots mailing list or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.us http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ or-roots mailing list or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.us http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nancy The first recorded ferry in Oregon was on the Willamette River near present-day Wheatland.[1] This ferry was built during 1843-1844 and operated by Jesse Applegate when he occupied the former Methodist Mission at Mission Bottom. Daniel Matheny later started the Wheatland Ferry in the 1850s around the same location.[1] The Michel Laframboise Ferry operated on the Willamette running between Champoeg on the south bank and the north bank of the river.[2] The ferry operated from 1850 to 1857.[2] Boones Ferry was operated starting in 1847 by Alphonso Boone, the grandson of Daniel Boone. This ferry remained in operation near Wilsonville until 1954, when a bridge was built over the Willamette near the site.[3] Historic ferries in Oregon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Daniel Matheny later started the Wheatland Ferry in the 1850s around the same location. .... Historic photos of Oregon ferries from the Oregon Department of ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_ferries_in_Oregon - Cached - Similar Polk and Marion counties Discontinued ferries in Polk and Marion County include the Claggett at Independence, which ran until 1950.[4] Hales Ferry, near Jefferson, operated as early as 1846, and another Jefferson ferry was run by Jacob Conser in 1848.[1] Doaks Ferry operated six miles (10 km) north of Salem. It was established in the 1840s by Andrew Jackson Doak, and sold in 1860 to Jesse Walling, who platted Lincoln, Oregon.[1] Doaks Ferry Road is named for it. Spongs Ferry operated at Spong's Landing, now a Marion County park, on the opposite side of the river from Doaks.[5] Halls Ferry operated beginning in 1868 about six miles (10 km) south of Salem, and Halls Ferry Road still exists today.[6] The ferry was started by Isaac (or Noah) Leabo, who sold to it Benjamin Franklin (B. F.) Hall in either 1882 or 1884, when it became known as Halls Ferry.[6] B. F. Hall's father, Reason B. Hall, was the founder of the Buena Vista Ferry in 1852, which still operates to this day. Halls Ferry changed hands twice and was subsequently renamed, first to "Croisan's Ferry" and later to "Pettyjohn's Ferry".[6] It is uncertain when the ferry ceased operations. There was also a "Halls Ferry" railroad station at this locale.[6] ----- Original Message ----- From: Marsha Bradley-Luthy To: or-roots mail list Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 4:12 PM Subject: Re: [or-roots] Into the Eye of the Setting Sun he was not. iSIAH LEABO WAS LEGAL OWNER HAVE PAPERS TO PROVE HE LOST IN COURT HE CLAIMED TO BE ENDED UP PAYING FOR THE FERRY TO iSIAH. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve & Ronda Howard To: 'or-roots mail list' Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 9:10 PM Subject: [or-roots] Into the Eye of the Setting Sun Hi Walt, What is the book about?

Sorry if you got it twice.. Matheny and Leabo ferries 2 different ferries? Nancy The first recorded ferry in Oregon was on the Willamette River near present-day Wheatland.[1] This ferry was built during 1843-1844 and operated by Jesse Applegate when he occupied the former Methodist Mission at Mission Bottom. Daniel Matheny later started the Wheatland Ferry in the 1850s around the same location.[1] The Michel Laframboise Ferry operated on the Willamette running between Champoeg on the south bank and the north bank of the river.[2] The ferry operated from 1850 to 1857.[2] Boones Ferry was operated starting in 1847 by Alphonso Boone, the grandson of Daniel Boone. This ferry remained in operation near Wilsonville until 1954, when a bridge was built over the Willamette near the site.[3] Historic ferries in Oregon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Daniel Matheny later started the Wheatland Ferry in the 1850s around the same location. .... Historic photos of Oregon ferries from the Oregon Department of ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_ferries_in_Oregon - Cached - Similar Polk and Marion counties Discontinued ferries in Polk and Marion County include the Claggett at Independence, which ran until 1950.[4] Hales Ferry, near Jefferson, operated as early as 1846, and another Jefferson ferry was run by Jacob Conser in 1848.[1] Doaks Ferry operated six miles (10 km) north of Salem. It was established in the 1840s by Andrew Jackson Doak, and sold in 1860 to Jesse Walling, who platted Lincoln, Oregon.[1] Doaks Ferry Road is named for it. Spongs Ferry operated at Spong's Landing, now a Marion County park, on the opposite side of the river from Doaks.[5] Halls Ferry operated beginning in 1868 about six miles (10 km) south of Salem, and Halls Ferry Road still exists today.[6] The ferry was started by Isaac (or Noah) Leabo, who sold to it Benjamin Franklin (B. F.) Hall in either 1882 or 1884, when it became known as Halls Ferry.[6] B. F. Hall's father, Reason B. Hall, was the founder of the Buena Vista Ferry in 1852, which still operates to this day. Halls Ferry changed hands twice and was subsequently renamed, first to "Croisan's Ferry" and later to "Pettyjohn's Ferry".[6] It is uncertain when the ferry ceased operations. There was also a "Halls Ferry" railroad station at this locale.[6] ----- Original Message ----- From: Marsha Bradley-Luthy To: or-roots mail list Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 4:12 PM Subject: Re: [or-roots] Into the Eye of the Setting Sun he was not. iSIAH LEABO WAS LEGAL OWNER HAVE PAPERS TO PROVE HE LOST IN COURT HE CLAIMED TO BE ENDED UP PAYING FOR THE FERRY TO iSIAH. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Charlotte grew up at the ferry arriving there in the spring of 1844. In 1850 when the DLC was authorized by congress Daniel Matheny filed for his DLC on the property, 640 acres. I am amazed at all the untrue stories of the early days of Oregon. My gt.gt grandfather Henry Hewitt who married Elizabeth Matheny (the eldest daughter in 1841 in MO.) told my gt. aunt Bertha that Applegate was the biggest liar that ever walked the face of the earth. The elder Applegate. Walt >From her book When we moved to the Mission Farm at the place that is called Wheatland, we were very comfortable. It was a big hewed log house with good sawed floors and was well finished with cedar lumber that the missionaries had shipped around cape horn. It had two brick fireplaces and plenty of bedrooms. There were barns and granaries, and about forty acres of land had been fenced and cultivated. The missionaries had built a ferry and we bought it with the place. It became a source of revenue to us after the country had become more thickly populated, but that meant very little to us. for it was not till five or six years later that there was anything in the country to buy. It was not until the gold discovery in California that things became easier for the people in our country. We had a good house, but our troubles were by no means over. we were ragged and we were without house keeping equipment of any kind. Charlotte Matheny Kirkwood Into the Eye of the Setting Sun I hope this helps settles the Ferry dispute but I doubt it.

Further particulars as to terms &c, will be made known the day of sale." --Daniel Matheny This notice first appeared in the advertising columns of the Spectator, April 29, 1847, but Atchison is not to be found on any map of Oregon, past or present. Lying at a point about twelve miles below Salem, Atchison made a quick growth to regional importance. Its local residents however, thought Atchison City an unlikely name for a wheat-shipping center and took to calling the place Wheatland. Wheatland, although still a name on the Oregon map, is gone--its site covered by a peach orchard that spreads along the bench-land. Only the ferry landing and the road to it remain. Like many other early Oregon towns, Wheatland was the ambitious undertaking of a single individual. Its founder, Daniel Matheny, was born in Virginia, December 11, 1793. Following adventurous years in the War of 1812, in the Black Hawk War of Illinois, and in a minor fracus of 1839 referred to as the Mormon War, in which he moved from a lieutanancy to a captaincy, Matheny learned of the free land to the west in the Oregon Country. It was in the spring of 1843 that he and his brother Henry allied themelves with the overland wagon train that became known as the "Great Migration." In the journey westward Matheney's sound judgement was often depended upon. Evidently Matheny brought some money with him to Oregon; for in the spring of 1844 he purchased the squatter rights to the donation land claim of James O'Neal, situated on the west bank of the Willamete River at a point about seventeen miles above Champoeg. That was just across the river and slightly north of the first Methodist Mission, then recently abandoned in favor of Salem. Of greater advantage was the fact that the O'Neal claim also lay just southwest of French Prairie, a district of growing settlement. continued at the listed URL, Bill Strickland -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Even some of our own people pretended to misunderstand him, but they were probably of a later emigration. My Father admired, respected and was deeply grateful to him.The Methodist Mission at Wheatland was in charge of Jason Lee. When we came the original Mission at Wheatland had been abandoned and the new Mission was established at Salem.We owned and lived in the house that was built for Dr. David Leslie, but most of the houses were across the river. Jason Lee's young wife was buried there.

Daniel Matheny, pioneer of 1843, purchased James O'Neal's (sic) land claim in 1844, and soon thereafter established regular ferry service. Lindsay Applegate assisted him in constructing the first ferry boat, using 'bushel or two of literature he found in the old house' recently abandoned by the Jason Lee missionary workers at Mission Bottom. On Jan. 1853, the territorial legislature authorized a public road from Salem to Dayton, crossing the river at Matheny's ferry. For more than ninety years the service was privately owned and operated and became a public ferry less than ten years ago." Note: James O'Neil is my children's 4th great-grandfather.

Ghost Towns for the River?, by Howard McKinlay Corning as a source: ?? http://www.wheatlandferry.com/oregon/atchison.html ?A public sale of the lots in the town of Atchison, in Yamhill County, on the west bank of the Willamette river, at Matheny?s Ferry, will take place on the 15th of May next (1847) on the premises. Wheat will be taken in payment. Further particulars as to terms &c, will be made known the day of sale.? ?Daniel Matheny This notice first appeared in the advertising columns of the Spectator , April 29, 1847, but Atchison is not to be found on any map of Oregon, past or present. Lying at a point about twelve miles below Salem, Atchison made a quick growth to regional importance. Its local residents however, thought Atchison City an unlikely name for a wheat-shipping center and took to calling the place Wheatland. Wheatland, although still a name on the Oregon map, is gone?its site covered by a peach orchard that spreads along the bench-land. Only the ferry landing and the road to it remain. Like many other early Oregon towns, Wheatland was the ambitious undertaking of a single individual. Its founder, Daniel Matheny, was born in Virginia, December 11, 1793. Following adventurous years in the War of 1812, in the Black Hawk War of Illinois, and in a minor fracus of 1839 referred to as the Mormon War, in which he moved from a lieutanancy to a captaincy, Matheny learned of the free land to the west in the Oregon Country. It was in the spring of 1843 that he and his brother Henry allied themelves with the overland wagon train that became known as the ?Great Migration.? In the journey westward Matheney?s sound judgement was often depended upon. Evidently Matheny brought some money with him to Oregon; for in the spring of 1844 he purchased the squatter rights to the donation land claim of James O?Neal, situated on the west bank of the Willamete River at a point about seventeen miles above Champoeg. That was just across the river and slightly north of the first Methodist Mission, then recently abandoned in favor of Salem. Of greater advantage was the fact that the O?Neal claim also lay just southwest of French Prairie, a district of growing settlement. continued at the listed URL, Bill Strickland _______________________________________________ or-roots mailing list or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.us http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
