Q-Rs: This was written last evening late and for some reason, I most have clicked only sender's name and not the Quaker mailing list. So here is my Mendenhall Search! Joan: I believe that I have worked with you before and that you are from Oregon or Washington State? I grew-up out in the wheat farming country of Wasco Co., Oregon, 25 miles SE of The Dalles. and about 45 due east of Mt. Hood. I lived on the family lands of the MOOREs and the house was on the BLM land of my G-Grandmother, the widow, Elvira (Mendenhall) Moore, d/o Himelius & Pricilla (Coffin) Mendenhall, NC>IN, with Priscilla following some of her children to IA. after her husband's death. Priscilla is named for her Grandmother, Priscilla (Paddock) Coffin. (I will mention them again at the end of this post.) http://www.mendenhall.org Mendenhall Family Association I did a couple of SEARCHs on the above website. Is this your Nana? I found a Cordelia Camille Mendenhall md. Rutherfore Hayes (RH) Carter; and one of her "sources of information" is listed as Rick Carter. The dates are consistant with what you gave. Her parents and her children are listed. Backing up the genealogy tree, I find John Mendenhall, Jr. m. Susanne Pierson, d/o Thomas Pierson & Rose Dixon. Susanne Peirson's sister, Rose Pierson married John's brother, Aaron Mendenhall, Aaron & Rose (Pierson) Mendenhall are my ancestors.. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cordelia Camille Mendenhall[1,2,3] Home Search Individual Pedigree Descendancy Relationship Timeline Login Birth 22 Feb 1885 Bangor, Marshall Co, IA Sex Female Died 11 Mar 1981 Newberg, Yamhill Co, OR Buried Portland, OR Person ID I38189 Mendenhall Last Modified 31 Dec 2004 Father James Owen Mendenhall, b. 02 Feb 1854, Grey, IN Mother Hessie Roxanna Northum, b. 05 Jun 1855, Guilford Co, NC Group Sheet F36001 Mendenhall Family 1 Rutherford Hayes (RH) Carter, b. 10 Nov 1876, Union, Marshall Co, IA Married 11 Oct 1905 Agra, OK Children 1.

They were Quakers in Nantuacket, MA, Guilford Co., NC and began leaving the Quaker religion while still in Indiana., as many of the Coffin descendents did.
