The "Fife*" county is called "Fife" and I suggest is the same as Fifeshire. There is, however, no "Pitferren" The 1841 has lots of Burts in Dunfermline, as well as the other parishes. Lots of Addisons (note spelling), I did find something called Pittencrieff in Dunfermline. (near where Andrew Carnegie was born) I also found streets called Pitreavie Crescent, Pitcorthie Rode, Pitbauchiie Bank. There is a Pitbauchiie house as well. All of these are in an area north of Pitreavie Castle, in the south part of Dunfermline. (this from Google Maps, not Google Earth) I looked up "Pit" to see what the prefix meant, and found a great article called "Placenames and the settlement pattern of dark-age Scotland" http://www.tarbat-discovery.co.uk/Learning%20Files/Placenames%20and%20the%20 settlement%20pattern%20of%20dark-age.pdf (E is East, S is South, N is North, W is West) "Within the present-day placenames of Scotland there are elements of P-Celtic such as carden (thicket), aber (confluence), lanerc (clearing) and pert (copse). Of greater importance for settlement studies is the placename prefix pit, which is the equivalent of the Welsh peth and which in Scotland referred to 'a share' or 'a portion of land'. The close involvement that this suggests with the land, in one way or another, is of considerable importance in trying to gain an insight into the distribution and occupation of Scotland by the Pictish people, something about which, despite some recent work (Cottam and Small 1974; Jackson, A 1971; Thomas 1963), all too little is still known. An earlier study of the distribution of the pit placename element (Whittington and Soulsby 1968), confined to only a S part of the former Pictish territory, revealed a distinct preference in its location for loamy soils and well-sheltered and well-drained positions. Coastal situations were rare. Questions that arose from this study were whether these findings were repeated throughout the zone of pit occurrence and whether the suggestion made by some historians that a difference existed between northern and southern Picts (divided by the mountain barrier known as the Mounth) was reflected in the placenames. A further query must also be made as to whether the placenames with this prefix all relate to land exploitation at an early or a later date in Pictish history and whether the names give any hint as to the hierarchy, if any, of settlement that existed. To these ends a placename element other than pit will also be considered and the evidence afforded by the Pictish symbol stones will be used. Watson (1926) mentions 323 occurrences of the pit prefix. Many of these he could not identify, and even of those he could, many have proved impossible to locate. Some others have been discovered and a total of 283 has been plotted on fig 1. The overall distribution is between the S shores of the Firth of Forth and the S of Sutherland. Within this zone there are two main concentrations, one particularly strong in the area between the Forth and the Mounth and the other N of the Mounth to Easter Ross. The main mountain mass is penetrated by the placenames up the river valleys, those of the Spey and Tay especially. There are also interesting occurrences of these placenames outside the main groupings; those in the Lothians and Lanarkshire, and in the far west in Glenelg and the Great Glen. The areas of Norse settlement in Shetland, Orkney and the N and W coasts of the mainland are virtually without examples as is the zone dominated by the Q-Celts who built up the kingdom of Dalriada after migration from Ireland. . ." You should read this article. It is fascinating, and of course, the "Pit" prefix is predominant around Dunfermline. I didn't find "Ferren" to go with "Pit" but did find several references to Pitferren (other than the hundreds of references to Moby Dick, and the other hundreds of the Burt family ). "Infeftment to Sir Charles Halket of Pitferren Knight and Barronett of the lands of Knockhouse and the third part of the lands of pitferren and others holds of his majestie jeu and ward the ward changed to taxt ward for payment of 50 merks for the ward also much for the releiffe and 100 merks for the marriage under the Kings hand upon the said Sir Charles his owne resignation." Whew! From "An Old Scottish Manuscript, a Record of Documents under the Great and Privy Seals of Scotland. . ." in _The Genealogical magazine_, Vol 4. The records are not dated. The "magazine" is from 1901. There are other references to Sir Charles Hackett. There are other references that sound a bit like Pitferren was also a surname (Scotland Court of Session, volume 2) Here you will find some interesting information: http://www.andysweet.co.uk/placenames/pit/pitfirrane.html and http://www.andysweet.co.uk/placenames/pit-early.html another has a reference to: "John, ship carpenter in Kestock of Pitferren" Ah, hah! I found it. Go here: http://www.dunfermlinegolfclub.com/club-history Your gang probably lived/worked for the Halkets. So, It is in the same area I mentioned before, in the south of Dunfermline. Now, you need to find out where the rest of your gang lived in Dunfermline. Thanks for bringing this up. I enjoyed the hunt.

Thank you everybody. I had completely forgotten about Wilson when we were talking to our?visitor?yesterday. It was his death that precipitated our move to Reedsport. The way it was presented to me was "I am moving to Reedsport to take care of Grandma; you do whatever you think is right, but that is where I'll be." ?Well, actually that might not be a direct quote, but that was the intent. ?My wife didn't leave me much maneuvering room. Did you all notice the irony of two of my wife's relatives having their "15 minutes of fame" being for illegal fishing?? My apologies for not realizing there would be some confusion between the great uncle and his father. I have senior in my file as Heinrich so didn't think about that. And Layne, of course you are forgiven, I certainly can relate to inadequate caffeine. Now I have another mystery, I suspect the Henry caught on the Rogue was great Uncle, but since Great Grandpa lived till 1925 I suppose ti could have been him. Nah, it had to be Uncle Barney. Wonder how they got Barney out of Henry F? ? Diane; I am curious about the U of O response you gave me. I must have forgotten some info about an online index?? I expected I would have to go out there to find it, but he should be listed in the Courier from Reedsport. In 1963 I am not sure what form their masthead was, either Port Umpqua or Umpqua I think. But maybe just "Courier." Thank you again everybody.

And Layne, of course you are forgiven, I certainly can relate to inadequate caffeine. Now I have another mystery, I suspect the Henry caught on the Rogue was great Uncle, but since Great Grandpa lived till 1925 I suppose ti could have been him. Nah, it had to be Uncle Barney. Wonder how they got Barney out of Henry F? ? Diane; I am curious about the U of O response you gave me. I must have forgotten some info about an online index?? I expected I would have to go out there to find it, but he should be listed in the Courier from Reedsport. In 1963 I am not sure what form their masthead was, either Port Umpqua or Umpqua I think. But maybe just "Courier." Thank you again everybody.

Now I have another mystery, I suspect the Henry caught on the Rogue was great Uncle, but since Great Grandpa lived till 1925 I suppose ti could have been him. Nah, it had to be Uncle Barney. Wonder how they got Barney out of Henry F? Diane; I am curious about the U of O response you gave me. I must have forgotten some info about an online index?? I expected I would have to go out there to find it, but he should be listed in the Courier from Reedsport. In 1963 I am not sure what form their masthead was, either Port Umpqua or Umpqua I think. But maybe just "Courier." Thank you again everybody.

The records would be outside of the 100 year restriction so the County should be able to provide you with a copy from their record. I imagine it would be cheaper, and possibly faster than going through Vital Records office in Portland. The Portland office would provide you with the "certified" copy that can be used for legal purposes etc. Good luck.

Thank you everybody. I had completely forgotten about Wilson when we were talking to our visitor yesterday. It was his death that precipitated our move to Reedsport. The way it was presented to me was "I am moving to Reedsport to take care of Grandma; you do whatever you think is right, but that is where I'll be." Well, actually that might not be a direct quote, but that was the intent. My wife didn't leave me much maneuvering room. Did you all notice the irony of two of my wife's relatives having their "15 minutes of fame" being for illegal fishing? My apologies for not realizing there would be some confusion between the great uncle and his father. I have senior in my file as Heinrich so didn't think about that. And Layne, of course you are forgiven, I certainly can relate to inadequate caffeine. Now I have another mystery, I suspect the Henry caught on the Rogue was great Uncle, but since Great Grandpa lived till 1925 I suppose ti could have been him. Nah, it had to be Uncle Barney. Wonder how they got Barney out of Henry F? Diane; I am curious about the U of O response you gave me. I must have forgotten some info about an online index?? I expected I would have to go out there to find it, but he should be listed in the Courier from Reedsport. In 1963 I am not sure what form their masthead was, either Port Umpqua or Umpqua I think. But maybe just "Courier." Thank you again everybody.

I also looked her up in the Ancestry.com site. No results there either. We know there was an influenza epidemic (the "Spanish flu") around 1918, but that's a little late for what you're talking about. >From GenealogyBank, I find that there was a Typhoid epidemic in Centralia in 1914, and a measles epidemic at Warm Springs. Diphtheria "raged" at Brooks, and in Washington County. In 1916 there was a fear of a Diphtheria epidemic in Baker. In 1916 also, there was great concern about "infantile paralysis" (Polio). (and for the next fifty years!) I have a whole bunch who died around 1878, in Marion County, of Diphtheria, within a week of each other.

Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 20:27:53 -0700 Subject: [or-roots] or-roots Digest, Vol 50, Issue 9 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello Sue I am looking for Mary Cady, born Dec. 5, 1820 in York County, Pennsylvania and died April 13, 1911. I have her death certificate and it says Shelburne Oregon as her place of removal or burial and that was done April 30, 1911. The undertaker's name is illegible as was the place of death until I sleuthed through some sites and came up with Shelburne. The address of the undertaker was noted as Scio. My great grandfather, her son Paul Tompkins signed the certificate, and he lived in North Scio at the time of the 1910 census. I am wondering where she is buried. I am also hoping to connect her with Michael L. Zigler who lived on the farm next door to her in the 1900 census. I think that he was her brother and the family came out in a group in the 1885 to 1900. I know that she applied for a widow's pension as well. Any help is wonderful.

The records would be outside of the 100 year restriction so the County should be able to provide you with a copy from their record. I imagine it would be cheaper, and possibly faster than going through Vital Records office in Portland.

Thank you everybody. I had completely forgotten about Wilson when we were talking to our visitor yesterday. It was his death that precipitated our move to Reedsport. The way it was presented to me was "I am moving to Reedsport to take care of Grandma; you do whatever you think is right, but that is where I'll be." Well, actually that might not be a direct quote, but that was the intent. My wife didn't leave me much maneuvering room. Did you all notice the irony of two of my wife's relatives having their "15 minutes of fame" being for illegal fishing? My apologies for not realizing there would be some confusion between the great uncle and his father. I have senior in my file as Heinrich so didn't think about that. And Layne, of course you are forgiven, I certainly can relate to inadequate caffeine. Now I have another mystery, I suspect the Henry caught on the Rogue was great Uncle, but since Great Grandpa lived till 1925 I suppose ti could have been him. Nah, it had to be Uncle Barney. Wonder how they got Barney out of Henry F? Diane; I am curious about the U of O response you gave me. I must have forgotten some info about an online index?? I expected I would have to go out there to find it, but he should be listed in the Courier from Reedsport. In 1963 I am not sure what form their masthead was, either Port Umpqua or Umpqua I think. But maybe just "Courier." Thank you again everybody.

We know there was an influenza epidemic (the ?Spanish flu?) around 1918, but that?s a little late for what you?re talking about. >From GenealogyBank, I find that there was a Typhoid epidemic in Centralia in 1914, and a measles epidemic at Warm Springs. Diphtheria ?raged? at Brooks, and in Washington County. In 1916 there was a fear of a Diphtheria epidemic in Baker. In 1916 also, there was great concern about ?infantile paralysis? (Polio). (and for the next fifty years!) I have a whole bunch who died around 1878, in Marion County, of Diphtheria, within a week of each other.

Thank you everybody. I had completely forgotten about Wilson when we were talking to our visitor yesterday. It was his death that precipitated our move to Reedsport. The way it was presented to me was "I am moving to Reedsport to take care of Grandma; you do whatever you think is right, but that is where I'll be." Well, actually that might not be a direct quote, but that was the intent. My wife didn't leave me much maneuvering room. Did you all notice the irony of two of my wife's relatives having their "15 minutes of fame" being for illegal fishing? My apologies for not realizing there would be some confusion between the great uncle and his father. I have senior in my file as Heinrich so didn't think about that. And Layne, of course you are forgiven, I certainly can relate to inadequate caffeine. Now I have another mystery, I suspect the Henry caught on the Rogue was great Uncle, but since Great Grandpa lived till 1925 I suppose ti could have been him. Nah, it had to be Uncle Barney. Wonder how they got Barney out of Henry F? Diane; I am curious about the U of O response you gave me. I must have forgotten some info about an online index?? I expected I would have to go out there to find it, but he should be listed in the Courier from Reedsport. In 1963 I am not sure what form their masthead was, either Port Umpqua or Umpqua I think. But maybe just "Courier." Thank you again everybody.

The records would be outside of the 100 year restriction so the County should be able to provide you with a copy from their record. I imagine it would be cheaper, and possibly faster than going through Vital Records office in Portland. The Portland office would provide you with the "certified" copy that can be used for legal purposes etc. Good luck.

He would have died aroung 1870 if I remember correctly. I don't know what he died of or where he is buried. His wife's name was Lucintha Jane Stillwell Horner Deford. She divorced her first husband to marry Samuel and then when he died she married a guy named William Harris who also died. She gained property from all three of her husbands and I have long suspected that she buried Samuel in the yard somewhere. Interesting family, for sure.

Dan is right that finding her willl not add to information regarding Julia unless there is an obituary for Artemicia. Artemicia died in Grants Pass in 1906; Jesse died in Grants Pass in 1903. They are both buried in the IOOF Cemetery in Grants Pass. They were the parents of Alwilda Jennings, who married my grand-uncle, and through my research into these folks I have not found anything regarding Julia other than what is available on census records. Now to add more confusion: The Find A Grave web site has a memorial posted for a Julia Ann Rowe buried in the Brownsville Pioneer Cemetery in Linn County. Trouble is, it shows unknown for both the birth & death information, leading me to believe that there is a grave marker with only the name. Darlene ----- Original Message ----- From: DanM.

I don't know what parts I should be finding myself, and what parts I need to ask for help with. My goal is to gather family information while disturbing others as much as possible. I am a retired engineer. My wife says I'm quite anal retentive. I suppose it is because I go to great lengths to have a minimum of two data sources for as many of my line as I can accumulate. Having 11270 individuals [as of today] it keeps me busy gathering information. I really value the tidbits I garner off of this site, and don't want to become known as a pest.

Walter was said to have an entry in the very first book in Modoc co for water rights, I have never seen a photo of that, but I know he had land deals and DLC in Oregon and CA. What I can't figure is how can a person die and just disappear when they have so many legal issues. Must be a mention some place about that. I found the mention of Julia in an article someplace about the Grants pass death, until then, I had no clue. We looked for her many years. But with several names its hard.

So I have put all these files in one folder so I can compare what people find. As with Walter, it just dont make sense how some people with lands can just drop out of existence with out legal papers some place. I been 12 years on just these 2. Also Tim Purdy sent me a file that hey had bought and sold a hotel on Alturas about the same year of the divorce and his death. Or cease of local existence. She, Julia was there too. I am in a mystery here on these people. One other story - is, my elder Aunt, 90 years old in 1998, told me Julia was in family lore as adopted Cherokee, I have not seen proof of that or proof of birth to the Cooper either. I will stick to this one subject since it seem the rest has no real mystery like this part. I can call in and pay for copies ? If they find any thing at all on Walter or Julia, any years. I have the divorce papers, the probate ( Oregon one) and something about continued in Marion co, I never found any thing on that.

Also in Grants Pass was the passing of Carrel B family, Lee Matney and others. I wonder - pausing, just how many - Julia A Cooper, Matney, Rowes there are. Several as I recall. Once, I found a file some place, said she was buried at Cooper hollow in the yard. John was buried just down the rd in his yard, not uncommon for people back then to be buried in yards. But hard to track em down. I would wonder ( who ) paid for that stone. I have the same problem with Henry Rogers , no one knows who paid for the burial or the stone. Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: Darlene Casteel To: or-roots mail list Sent: Friday, June 17, 2011 5:59 PM Subject: Re: [or-roots] Obit request Julia's sister was Artemicia, married Jesse Jennings in 1853 (his second wife) in Marion Co., OR. Dan is right that finding her willl not add to information regarding Julia unless there is an obituary for Artemicia. Artemicia died in Grants Pass in 1906; Jesse died in Grants Pass in 1903. They are both buried in the IOOF Cemetery in Grants Pass. They were the parents of Alwilda Jennings, who married my grand-uncle, and through my research into these folks I have not found anything regarding Julia other than what is available on census records. Now to add more confusion: The Find A Grave web site has a memorial posted for a Julia Ann Rowe buried in the Brownsville Pioneer Cemetery in Linn County. Trouble is, it shows unknown for both the birth & death information, leading me to believe that there is a grave marker with only the name.

Am waiting response from those people. If Layne could find more on Walter than I did when I used to come there, that would be great. Also in the great interest, circa 1904 -+ a tad, obit ( Oregon- Eugene/Springfield) Henry Rogers ( possible ) William Henry Rogers but the head stone is military it seems, there is a pic here on my site http://www.d-matney.com/Henry-Rogers.html we cant find - who paid, or simply any thing and not even who his dad was, I was in hopes, some of the people here, might be able to find what I could not, mainly the obit. Dan M ----- Original Message ----- From: Leslie Chapman To: or-roots mail list Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2011 10:01 AM Subject: Re: [or-roots] Obit request Dan; As to the surname thing as far as I know there is no real rhyme nor reason to that, it is strictly up to the woman at the time of divorce. I have a friend who has been through several husbands, but always reverts to surname of 1st one, most likely because that is the surname of her children. Do you have the DLC history. Depending on final proving dates on those, assuming it was proved or whatever the term for completion of paper work there, it might include probate IF that is the case it should show up in the DLC book. If their was any probate process the bare minimum is there should be some notice published in the local newspaper at that time. Unfortunately finding that can be harder than finding the courthouse records. My memory being what it is I don't recall the circumstances of his demise; if you don't have a certain location and time for his death it is possible he just disappeared. That is the case with my maternal gg grandfather. Les C From: Dan-M I have the probate. Several good genealogist have read it too over the last dozen years, it give no clues. I will post it when I find it. Walter was said to have an entry in the very first book in Modoc co for water rights, I have never seen a photo of that, but I know he had land deals and DLC in Oregon and CA. What I can't figure is how can a person die and just disappear when they have so many legal issues. Must be a mention some place about that. I found the mention of Julia in an article someplace about the Grants pass death, until then, I had no clue. We looked for her many years. But with several names its hard. After Walter Matney, she married Rowe, I was wondering why?== if she applied for a divorce and after Rowe she went back to using Matney?

The area, known as Baker Prairie was an open expanse of ground in the dense fir forest that stretched for miles. James Baker, one of the earliest white settlers in Oregon, arrived in the area in 1838 with a cattle drive from California and was soon farming on land in what is now north Canby. Other settlers arrived, including Philander and Anna Lee in 1848, who bought "squatters" rights beside a spring-fed creek on what is now SE First Avenue. Lee began growing apples on 80 acres of land and shipped them to the gold miners in California. In 1850, the Lees gained title to their 647 acres through the Donation Land Claim Act which brought many more settlers over the Oregon Trial to Baker Prairie and surrounding areas.
