Hello Linn Co.OR, My great grandmother's family settled in Brownsville about 1864. She was Martha Alice Thompson and married Theodore Warner Boone in 1868. They moved to Caldwell ID by the 1870 Census. Her parents and most of her siblings stayed in the Brownsville/Linn Co. area. I just recently found this branch of my family, and would love any information anyone might have about these folks and/or their descendants. I have listed them below. They "Crossed the Plaines" in 1862, going first to CA and then on up to OR. I am: Geraldine Ingersoll Enoch THOMPSON b. abt 1808, SC & Mary A.

KINSEY > b. abt 1814, VA > m. abt 1833 >==clipped== I am descended from Orpha Thompson who married John G. Richardson (of Richardson Gap). I was wondering if your Enoch might be her brother, as she had a brother by that name. I have no information on Enoch other than his name, nor any info on his descendants. Orpha's parents were William Thompson and Emily Hammet. She was born 20 Feb 1804 in Pendleton District, SC. She was married to John Griffin Richardson on 16 April 1818 in Madison Co., Illinois. Her siblings were John (1795), Milly (1799), Elijah (1804), William, James, Willis, Enoch, and Ruth. Don't have my ODLC info in front of me, but I believe they crossed in 1853. If our lines are the same, I would really like to hear from you. Lance Mackey [email protected]
