My Cowlitz Co. ancestor is Timothy Fletcher Hersey, b 1827 in ME, died 1905 in Cowlitz Co WA. He married my gg grandfather's sister, Eliza Rachel Johnson, in 1852 in Jo Daviess Co. IL. He was quite an interesting fellow. He founded Abiline KS, was an Indian trader, and surveyed a cattle trail from Abiline to Wichita KS, among other things. He came to Castle Rock about 1901. A couple of years ago we spent time in Castle Rock trying to track down his burial place but were unsuccessful. Anyone else have this man in their ancestry, or can give me some clues about where I might find more information?
