Hello John, I take it from your notations that Joab Powell was the administrator of McCartney's will? I am a descendant of Rev. Joab Powell. I am wondering what kind of connection the Powell and McCartney families may have had. None that I am aware of. Maybe they were just neighbors? The Powell DLC was over on what is now Richardson Gap Road. Or perhaps they traveled the OT in the same wagon train. Both Powell and McCartney families seem to have arrived early fall 1852. Anyway this is interesting. Thank you.

For the information of List members, this is to advise that my cousin, Cecil Charles HOUK b.July 22, 1939 in Sisters, Deschutes Co., OR died at his home in San Diego, CA on Thursday, July 6, 2006 where his wife Rachel found him when she returned from work that evening. Although Rachel has a son and daughter by her earlier marriage, Cecil had no children of his own. Cecil was proceeded in death by his only brother Douglas Raymond Houk 1938-1997 and by his parents, George Douglas Houk 1909-1966 and Helen Edna (Rulaford) Houk 1908-1997. Although born in Sisters, OR Cecil lived most of his earlier years in Sweet Home, OR. For a number of years Cecil was quite active on various Oregon Lists, upsetting many with his independent ideas and sharp remarks, but also generously sharing family info that had been accumulated by his mother especially throughout her life on their early Oregon pioneer ancestors, including Nineveh Ford 1815-1897 who made trip west with Marcus Whitman in 1830's on one of Whitman's buying trips to MO for Whitman Missionary. Little did Nineveh Ford know at that time that one of his descendants, Cecil and my grandfather's sister Mary Elizabeth "Lizzy" Houk 1866-1929 would become wife of Sanford Stanley Pringle 1866-1904 whose mother Catherine Carney (Sager) Pringle 1835-1910 was survivor of that horrible November 1847 Whitman Massacre. Cecil has a number of websites commemorating his early pioneer Ancestors, one being dedicated to Capt. James Blakely 1812-1913 and his wife Sarah (Dick) Blakely 1815-1889 who were Cecil & my gr-gr-grandparents (Cecil's father being younger brother of my father Jacob Guy Houk). Through that website, Cecil and I have both had the opportunity to become acquainted with many others descended from Capt James Blakely who arrived in Linn Co., OR Terry. in 1846 and settled in what is today Brownsville, OR. It was Capt. Blakely who platted the town of Brownsville in 1860's and named it after his Uncle Hugh Leeper Brown 1810-1888 who had also brought his family west in 1846 with Capt. Blakely as Hugh Brown's wife Clarissa (Browning) Brown 1810-1898 was younger sister of Capt. Blakely's mother Jincy (Browning) Blakely c1790-c1867. To those of you who corresponded with Cecil over the years, both his wife Rachel and I express our warm appreciation as many of you became quite special friends with Cecil, helping him fill the void in his life after having spent 20 years in US Navy. Kind regards Rachel Houk in San Diego Don Houk in Tokyo
