Darwin, I've looked in my family files for a connection to the names you listed and the only thing I did find, which I didn't feel was a match, but will pass along anyhow is, there is a LURANA ELKINS listed in our family tree, born 1823 died 1910, she was married to a STEPHEN SWAIN FULLER born 11/23/1817 died 1893. The other name I found was BEVERLY DARLING, no birth or death info, but she was married to a ROBERT MICHAEL VANDEHEY, born 7/20/1957. The only other connection that I see would be that I am extremely familiar with the area that your family lived in/around. First, The picture I referred to about the creation of Greenville Township is located in the book "Wooden Shoes West". This book covers the entire Vandehey family. They were a very predominate Dutch family in these Washington County, Oregon parts. If you would like to get your hands on a copy of the book, or to even answers some more direct questions reguarding the surrounding areas, I would direct you to the man who wrote the book. He is a distant cousin to my husband's family. He is a priest of a local church here and is the family historian. Father Scott Vandehey 4285 N. W. Visitation Rd. Forest Grove, Oregon 97116 (503)-357-3860 Not only would he be a good source to be in contact with, but he is also the source for his books. I do not have an e-mail address for him, sorry. I do not believe he has one. Second, The Dairy Creek area you referred to also, that area is located due north of Greenville, about 7-10 miles north of U.S. Hwy 26. It should show up on a map due north of Mountaindale. There is a cemetery out there that not too many folks know of, called Raffety or Rafferty Cemetery. There are mostly Johnson's and Thompson's out there. I forgot to mention, I am one of Washington county's cemetery transcribers. I have a few cemeteries locally on file. I am one of the pioneers of taking headstone digitals to get up on the web. So far, I have them saved to a disk after a learned lesson of lost info when your computer crashes! Anyhow, I have on disk, Scotch Church Cemetery (partial), Fern Hill Cemetery (complete), Rafferty Cemetery (Complete), Blooming Cemetery (Partial), Forest View (Partial), & Mt. View (Partial). Other local cemeteries I had, but lost all info and pictures on are: St. Francis Cemetery in Roy, Washington County, Oregon; St. Edward's Cemetery, North plains, Washington County, Oregon; Visitation Cemetery, Verboort, Washington County, Oregon; Cornelius United Methodist Cemetery, Cornelius, Washington County, Oregon; & Fir Lawn Cemetery, Hillsboro, Washington county, Oregon (was really upset by loss of this one, is a really big cemetery and I had it all complete! mausoleum also!) Checked my records of headstone photos and I came up with Darling's and Shearer's. Don't know if there is relation, but it may help, I'll let you decide. All at Forest View Cemetery in Forest Grove, Washington County, Oregon: Alice (1832-1919) & James (1833-1911) Darling (both names on one headstone) Charles Darling (died 1906) Dee Dee (died 1960) & Belle (died 1939) Darling (both names-one headstone) The following are also from Forest View Cemetery. Headstones are located in cemetery headed by Family headstone marker "SHEARER": Carrie Wood (1889-1925) Shearer Jacob H. (1855-1940) Melissa A. (1861-1926) That is all I have so far from this cemetery, I do not have it complete yet. If you would like me to send you photos of the above stones, just let me know and I will e-mail them to you. I'm afraid this is all of the info I have for the time being to pass along to you. If you are going to research this area, I would suggest talking the Fr. Scott Vandehey. You could also try the local funeral homes in the area, mostly Forest Grove, Cornelius, & Hillsboro. To see if they may have some leads for you. Have you tried www.ancestry.com<http://www.ancestry.com/> or www.familysearch.com<http://www.familysearch.com/>? These are two main popular sites I go to when I need to find any info on different families. You will want to check back every so often at these sites as new info is being added daily! It may have taken me a year, but this is how I found my mother's long lost cousin! The other thing would be to go to GOOGLE and type in a general search for the names you would like info on. ie; john+smith, or John+ Smith+Genealogy, etc. adding the plus will make the hits more specific. good luck and don't give up!

Dear Shelley, Wow what a wonderful lot of information. Cousin Pauline is the Bridewater Shearer family historian. I will share what you sent with her and put out a search for the books you recommended. The roots of the family name take on a lot of variation from Darling to Durland with an oomlaut and Dohrland. That this is Dutch country does not suprise me and in fact makes a lot of sense. My aunt and mom say that Gpa Gene talked about a cousin Charlie but the possibility of a different last name spelling had not occurred to me/us and now I wonder if the Darling spelling on the 1880 census was a translation error or a temporary return to the past. Thanks again. More soon.

Darwin, One last morsel for you or your family historian, in your last email reply, you mentioned name variations and the name Dohrland, it might interest you to know that there is a DORLAND road in Washington county. It is located due North of North Plains, Washington county, Oregon. North plains is located right off U.S. Hwy 26 West (exit 57, I believe), exit the freeway into North Plains (go North after you get off at exit), which will put you on Glencoe Road, Follow Glencoe Road North, which will then come to a fork, left will take you to Pumpkin Ridge, straight north will take you to Shadybrook Road, which a few miles out will turn into Dorland Road. Dorland eventually turns into NW Moreland Road. Check your maps. History in the area tells me that a lot of the local roads and backroads were named after folks who owned farms in those areas. Keep chipping away at this, you'll arrive where you need to be. I know, I chipped enough away at it in my own family tree and as of today, I excitedly stumbled upon the original homestead of my ancestors, thanks to key information about locations and landmarks from a distant cousin! I even found out why I could never locate certain graves or markers for some of these ancestors, come to find that they were buried on the family homestead back in the late 1800's! One last odd tidbit, and don't know if it has any significance, but it is quite ironic to me even now that I think about it, but the folks I met today, that now own and live in my G-G-G-Grandfathers home, their last name is SHEARER. Dick (Richard, I presume) and Kathy Shearer. They are an older couple, maybe late 60's early 70's. Very sweet couple. Anyhow, I don't know that there would be any relation except for last name. They've lived in my g-g-g-grandfathers house for the past 15 years, and the house is located in Park Place, Clackamas County, Oregon; near Oregon City, Oregon. Thought I'd share, anyhow, good luck!

There are DARLING'S (DARLAND), in Pierce Co Wash in early 1900's. And they were connected to _____ Wheeler who lived in ROY, Pierce Co Wa. for 0ver 50 yrs. Had a big farm growing Veggies and selling them. Was famous for his sweet Corn called Candy Corn. for years. His wife passed away in 1996 of Fleshy Arthuritis and later about 3 yrs he mar a lady maybe family knew or he did in Ohio and since has moved there.. he has a son living here who is a Fireman in the County. I have tried to get holds of him but haven't as yet. He didn't come back last yr to farm so believe he is in more imfirmed condition as in 80's. I did soem research for him on them and found Darling in city Directories in area around Tacoma, Wa. His farm was called "Oak Hills Farms" Maxine willma@sprynet.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "MATTHEW VAN LOO" <msskvanloo@msn.com> To: <ORWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2004 12:19 AM Subject: Re: [WASHINGTON] Searching for 2 Sarah Darlands, WashingtonCounty 1876 to 1894 > Darwin, > > I've looked in my family files for a connection to the names you listed and the only thing I did find, which I didn't feel was a match, but will pass along anyhow is, > there is a LURANA ELKINS listed in our family tree, born 1823 died 1910, she was married to a STEPHEN SWAIN FULLER born 11/23/1817 died 1893. > The other name I found was BEVERLY DARLING, no birth or death info, but she was married to a ROBERT MICHAEL VANDEHEY, born 7/20/1957. > The only other connection that I see would be that I am extremely familiar with the area that your family lived in/around. > > First, The picture I referred to about the creation of Greenville Township is located in the book "Wooden Shoes West". > This book covers the entire Vandehey family.

It should show up on a map due north of Mountaindale. There is a cemetery out there that not too many folks know of, called Raffety or Rafferty Cemetery.
