Patricia, Both Ione and Fiddletown are in Amador County. Ione is where state route 104 and Hwy 49 cross each other. Fiddletown is just north east of this. Find Plymouth on HWY 49 (about 10 miles north of Ione) and look east about 5 miles to find Fiddletown on a little "local route". Oh, I forgot to say, I'm looking, at a California Map <G>. Hope this helps, RUTH _____________________________ Ruth & Don Skewis [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: E_or_P_Rowell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 06, 1998 7:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] Amador Co Query Hi: Have been contacted by a new cousin living in Independence MO (she was born and raised in Yuba City and nearby towns). Our great grandparents are the ones in the Wagon Train I recently asked about - James M. Scott and wife Abigail. I have in my records that they are buried in Ione, Amador Co, CA, and she has them buried in Fiddletown. We need to know if these are different towns, as my old atlas doesn't show Fiddletown, but I've certainly heard the name many times. My list from an Amador Co researcher (dated 1985) says 'Ione.' Can you help us piece this puzzle together? Thanks very much!
