And using pretext to declare emergency to start enforcing it effective January 1, 2014 State agency is trying to sneak it through. Currently Births, 100 years Marriages, 75 years Deaths, 50 years They want to change them to Births, 125 years Marriages, 100 years Deaths, 75 years PLUS black out all mention of health information, even on death certificates.

I don't know who to direct your email to as I didn't get involved in the detective work of his genealogy pursuits. I do hope you get some responses. Keep up the good work. It is a worthy cause.

I've "rescued" a group of three photographs belonging to the ERSKINE Family of Oregon and Washington. The three photographs are as follows: 1 - Grandpapa ERSKINE taken at the Thwaites Studio in Portland, dated 1891 - believe this is Abiel ERSKINE - photo is addressed "To Gracie" 2 - Harriet ERSKINE taken at same studio - 1890's - woman in her 50's or 60's 3 - Hattie ERSKINE WILLIAMS taken at the Imperial Studio in Seattle, WA - 1880's or 1890's, woman in her 20's - note on back "Granddaughter of Mrs. Jane ERSKINE of Palermo, Maine and daughter of Abiel ERSKINE and H. J. ERSKINE of Erskineville, Oregon". Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family and those pictured in the photographs: Abiel ERSKINE was b. 25 Jun 1828 in Palermo, Maine to parents Abiel or Abial Wood ERSKINE (b. 9 May 1806 in Palermo, ME) and Jane Weeks RUST (b. 16 Aug 1807 in ME). Abiel was one of nine children born to this couple including, James; Abiel; Sarah Jane; Mary Elizabeth; Stillman W.; Emily; Mary J.; Lucy Ann; and Joseph ERSKINE, all born between 1826 and 1841, his sister Mary Elizabeth "Lizzie" was b. 23 Feb 1833 in China, ME. Abiel married Harriet Jane RUST (b. 10 May 1839 in Palermo, ME) on 2 Nov 1856 and together they had 6 children including, Ella Augusta; Anna Jane; George McLellan; Abiel Grant; Hattie Elida; and Mabel Melluah ERSKINE, all born between 1859 and 1878. Their daughter Hattie Elida ERSKINE was b. 25 Jun 1866 in Douglas City, California. Abiel died 17 Sept 1911 in Seattle, Washington and is buried in the Lake View Cemetery in Seattle. Abiel's wife Harriet Jane RUST ERSKINE died in 1909 in Seattle, WA. Hattie Elida ERSKINE was b. 25 Jun 1866 in Douglas City, California to parents Abiel ERSKINE (b. 25 Jun 1828 in Palermo, ME) and Harriet Jane RUST (b. 10 May 1839 in Palermo, ME). Hattie married George Ellsworth WILLIAMS (b. 10 Oct 1864 in Polk City, IA - d.1941) on 23 Dec 1888 and together they had a daughter, Grace Melluah WILLIAMS b. 9 Oct 1890 or 1899 in Womic, Oregon. Hattie ERSKINE WILLIAMS died 26 Nov 1910 in Seattle, Washington and is buried in the Lake View Cemetery in Seattle. Their daughter Grace died in 1981. Census records provide the following details: 1900 census or Moro City, Oregon: Abel ERSKINE, age 71, born Jun 1828, married 32 years, born ME, parents born England, a Farmer Hattie ERSKINE, wife, age 60, born May 1840, married 32 years, 1 child/1 living, born ME, parents born ME, a Post Master I am hoping to locate someone from this ERSKINE Family so that the photographs can be returned to their care.

P.T. is my great-great grandfather. I have attached two articles from The Dalles Chronicle concerning P.T. Sharps death. The first article describes how he was found in his field apparently kicked by a mule. The second tells of his death and provides a brief history. You will have to zoom in on the text to read the articles. Search on Sharp to see where the articles are located on the page. How are you related to the Sharp Family? My mom, Joan Sharp is the daughter of Arthur J Sharp, son of Edward F Sharp, son of P.T. Sharp. My mom and her sister are only children of A.J. Sharp that are alive. I see that Ancestry does not accept PDF files as attachments. You will have to send me your email address outside of Ancestry to see the articles. Are you aware of where Jacob Sharp, P.T's father is buried? I have information on three Jacob Sharps' in a cemetery in upper New York. The Sharps listed and short descriptions fit the family history written by W.H. Sharp, another son of Jacob Sharp. The information below comes from documentation by Anne M. Cady. Apparently she inventoried all the headstones of the Pine Hill (Eel Weir) Cemetery, Oswegatchie, NY. Jacob Sharp, Settled at Sharp's Landing, Hudson River, 1684; Active in Trading (Section 3) Jacob Sharp 2nd, born 1763, pioneer settler, settled at Ogdensburg, 1812 (Section 3) John S. Sharp, born 1810 (Section 3) John H. Sharp, born 1843 (Section 3) Does this information fit anything you have documented?

I have come across your now rather old posting to the Ancestry messageboards and I wonder if you could please let me have the passages on Edward Crate(s) for the McNeal history book. It may be that scanning will make it easier, or at least, cheaper to transmit this by email. If not, my land address is Wickhurst Wood, Lamberhurst, Kent, England TN3 8BJ.
