I'm looking for more information on Matilda THOMAS who was raised in Canyonville, Douglas County, Oregon and married Joseph JACQUES 9/1868. At that time she was over age 18, but i do not know her birth or death date, or family. She may have died prior to 1885; Iknow that Joseph did. She and Joseph had two sons, Joseph Andrew (born abt. 1870) and Sidney (b. abt. 1871) who married HANKS sisters, Fannie and Mary, respectively. Joseph Andrew and Fannie had the following children: Ethel Mae, Guy, Joe, Bert, and Mildred. All were in the Douglas Co area of Oregon. The reason I am assuming that Matilda died prior to 1885 is that there are guardianship papers for the sons that were filed by a stepmother Rebecca after Joseph's death. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Elaine
