My great grandfather was Luther Theodore Moffitt, son of Henry Moffitt and Mary Davis. One of his sisters was named Emmerette (or variation of spelling). My aunt told me that she owned a hotel in Baker, OR and that she married Daniel (or perhaps David) Moore. I formerly found a marriage certificate for her marriage to a a Daniel Mace. I just found this webpage on one of the Baker CO, Oregon webpages and although there are conflicting spellings of her name and the name of her husband, I wanted to share this information with the list. I found the information on the website listed below. Regards, Verdena (Moffitt) Veelle http://www.rootsweb.com/~orbaker/database/baker/aqwg87.htm#2215 Henry Moffett married Mary Davis.

A man of great inherent energy, the subject of this review has lived a life of intense activity, leaving home when only twelve years old and traveling extensively. He is a pioneer of the Pacific coast of 1856 and has for many years been identified with Baker county, to whose development he has contributed not a little.

Mr. Moore was born in Candia, New Hampshire in 1836, the son of Daniel and Mary (Brown) Moore, both natives of new Hampshire, and both of whom died in Lowell, massachusetts. As above stated, he starte din life for himself when only twelve years old, going to sea at first for two years. At the end of that period he returned home and visited for three or four months, but as soon as the gold excitement broke out in Australia his love of adventure again asserted itself and in 1850 he landed on that far-away island. For more than half a decade he sought for the precious metals in that distant land, but with what success we are unable to say. Early in 1856 he embarked for Massachusetts, coming via England, over which country he traveled extensively. After another visit of three months we find him enroute for California, coming via the Isthmus despite the terrible massacre which occured there just previous. Arriving at Redwood City, California, he again took up the search for the key to nature's vaults, and his search led him all over the state. He likewise spent two years in the shingle business in California. . In 1862 he came ot Baker county, Oregon, being one of the first to search for gold in this famous region, his first place of abode being Auburn. He remained there and in different parts of the county until 1869, when he settled in Sparta and engaged in the hotel business and in mining ventures, remaining until 1874. He then went to Unio ncounty and engaged inhotel keeping agian, building the Centennial hotel, which was so named on account of its being completed July 4, 1876. The year 1885 found him again in Pine valley, where he located a homestead and engaged in farmng, stock raising and market gardening, not, however, to the entire neglect of the old and much-beloved occupation, mining. He states that when he first saw the valley 1873 it had but five settlers. . Fraternally our subject was affiliated with the Union lodge of Red Men, which was instituted in 1876, and in politics he is an ardent Republican. His marriage was solemnized in 1865, in Auburn, Miss Emmaretta, a native of Ohio and a daughter of Henry and Mary (Davis) Moffett, then becoming his wife. Emmaretta Moffett [Parents] married David F. Moore on 1865 in , Auburn, Baker, Oregon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

Corrected to Daniel F. Moore. I double checked and it will be uploaded in next update. And now I have a question - Did Luther Moffett ever lived in Baker County?

David, I am sorry but I don't think that I have found any evidence that Luther lived in Baker CO. He died in 1921 in Newberg, OR at the home of a daughter. My father, Melvill Moffitt, his grandson, was born in Baker CO, however in 1898 near what was Carson, OR as was several of his siblings. My grandfather, Joseph Moffitt was married in Union CO although I think he lived in Baker CO. My great grandparents on my grandmother's side, the Curry family also lived in Baker CO, so it is possible that Luther may have at some time also. I need to do some more research in this area.
