His claim in Clackamas Co Those two claims are more than 50 miles apart. DLCs were from 1850 to 1855 mostly a few maybe after that. Those who came later probably got claims under the Homestead Act. There is no nice summary of the people who got those claims. BLM has a site which give location of claims but that is all. DLC info I have shows claimants birth yr and place, when md and where (usually only first name of wife), and when arrived and witnesses. That BLM site was down a few days ago. Phil in Oreg
