I do not know of a Monroe Ranch. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I did find a couple of Monroe names that could be related, but without further info. can not be certain. I was hoping the ranch was large enough that it might have been recorded somewhere. I did find a Monroe Ranch Rd. in another county, but no explanation for the name. Thomas South could just have been buried where he died, maybe on the trail and any marker long gone. Just keep hoping to find a clue of any kind. Thanks again. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

In vol 4 no 1 on Page 16-17 there is an article "Monroe and Ida Jones and Family" by Mable Francis Steele. That issue was published in 1968. My collection ends with Vol 3 No 2 so I can not comment on the content, but the Siskiyou Historical Society in Yreka should have a copy.
