Sharon: I have viewed your website and know that there is little that I can suggest that will yield the information, which you seek. I was in school in the 1930s with SLUSHERs and also with DUFUR descendents, who resided in Dufur, Wasco County, Oregon. My MOOREs appeared in the Fifteen Mile, Wasco County, OR 1880 US Census for they migrated to Oregon 1877 -- so the same Timeline as your Toupin and Staats..
