Tracie Many of my wife's line came to S-W WA. They were early settlers of Lincoln Co. Dart children (after they married) Green Hammer Parker The above family members inter-married and in about 1890 they all (mothers, kids, grandkids of all the families) moved to Skagit Co WA. They started stores, ran shingle mills, etc. I don't know why they moved...especially since it just wasn't just one family 'striking out', but the whole clan! I will supply more info off the list if you are interested. I sure am interested in what you have!!!

I have noticed as I cull obituaries a certain pattern: the mention of Sedro-Woolley, Washington. I have seen it mentioned as a place of residence for former residents or their surviving relatives more than a few times. And the people don't all seem to be related. Hence I wonder if there was a reason a lot of Lincolnites (Lincolners? Lincolnians?) ended up in Sedro-Woolley, Washington? Does anyone have an answer, or know anything about the area? Perhaps someone on the list has family that went there and can clear it up. Tracee
