John, the Nichols refers to my great grandmother Mary Elizabeth Nichols White Wright who was married to George Washington Wright of Salkum, Lewis Co., WA. Mother of 13 children. I have so little information on her. I know she was born in Illinois February 28, 1837, to a JOHN NICHOLS. Also, has brother named ORIN NICHOLS. She first married a man named White and has son, William D. White on June 19, 1856, birthplace unknown. White drowned falling thru the ice (location unknown). She then married George Washington Wright in April 15, 1857 in Jackson Co., Iowa. They moved to Washington in 1889, their entire family came with them. She died May 22, 1928. Both she and George are buried at Salkum. Together Mary and George had: EMILY died young LAURA A. married Frank Fuller MARY (Millie) married Jack Shockley GEORGE M. (Mac) married Addie Caples GRANT ULYSSES married Kitty Allen ALFRED L. died young MINNIE E. married Ed Sammonds ANNA N. married Frank Springer MIRAS (Dell) married Bertha Gore, daughter of Hollis & Mary Gore WALTER ALBIE married Mary Maude Gore, daughter of Hollis & Mary Gore OLIVE M. married Harry Parkinson, Lewis and Allen Hayner ALTA married Edwin Gore, son of Hollis & Mary Gore Would appreciate information on any of the extended family as well. Thank you, Marilyn Wright Powers

Need information on the STODDARD Family. Believe first his name to be BILL. He was part Indian and lived in Skipanon, Clatsop Co., Oregon where he married Clara May Gore, on May 2, 1883, daughter of Hollis Chubbuck Gore and Mary Evelline Towner Gore of Salkum, Lewis Co., Washington. Bill and Clara had four children. Two are Mary, born May 1887 and Hollis, born February 1898. The other two are thought to be Winnie and Ethel. Ethel committed suicide later by jumping off a ferry in Seattle. Clara died October 18, 1898. In the 1900 Census of Lewis County, Hollis Stoddard, 2 year old grandson is living with Hollis and Mary Gore in Salkum. Mary Stoddard, age 13, is living with her maternal aunt, Katherine Bell Gore Lanceaux and uncle, Joseph Lanceaux also in Salkum. The whereabouts of the other two children are unknown. Believe one of the daughters of Bill and Clara Stoddard later married a man named Matthews. Would appreicate anyone having information on this family to please contact me by E-mail. Thank you, Marilyn Wright Powers Researching names: Wright - Nichols - Gore - Towner

Marylin, Notice you have the Nichols name? Is this the Nichols family some of which lived in Onalaska area in the 60's and some that are tied to the Parnell and Erickson families of Onalaska? John Blair

This is from Eastman's Newsletter and thought it may be useful to some of you. It is downloadable from the authors web site. The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 1999 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. ============================================================ - Soundex Calculator for Windows and Macintosh Dave Fessler has released a new Soundex Generator program. It is available in three different versions: MacOS for PowerPC, MacOS for 68K, and Windows 95/98/NT. I used the program briefly this week and found it easy to use. For anyone not familiar with the Soundex system, it is a method of grouping surnames together that sound similar but are spelled differently. In the Federal Soundex Systems, each surname is assigned a code that consists of the first letter of the name. The next three consonants are assigned a number. Vowels are ignored. Soundex has been used to index the 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920 United States censuses and some other types of records, such as naturalization records and passenger lists. If you know the Soundex Code for your ancestor's surname, you increase the chances of finding him or her in the census indexes. Many genealogy programs also use Soundex to group names together. Dave Fessler's new Soundex Calculator computes three types of Soundex Codes: Federal (as used with the U. S. Census), alternate Federal (alternate coding when H or W is present), and Daitch- Mokotoff. Soundexes may be computed for individual names (typed in) or lists of names (contained in files). Soundex Calculator is available in three versions: MacOS for PowerPC, MacOS for 68K, and Windows 95. All three versions are offered as Shareware. If you like the program you should send $25.00 to the author. Full instructions are included within the program itself.

Lewis County, Washington researchers. I'm looking for any ancestral information or connection to John and Mary Moore who arrived in Oregon territory late in the 1840's and soon thereafter settled in what is now Lewis County, Washington. I believe that John was born in Pennsylvania, circa 1813, the son of Robert Moore and Marie Fulmer. The 1860 and the 1870 US Census of Lewis County, lists the children of John and Mary Moore as: (1)Charles, (2)Mary Elizabeth who married Sidney Smith Ford, (3)Richard, (4)William J., (5)James O., (6)Robert and (7)Perry. Any help in identifying ancestors or descendants of this family will be appreciated. Robert A. Moore Nevada

Hello Rodney, I hope you were able to figure out what the Caroline was talking about and what message she was referring to? Yes I have Emailed you before. I think I helped you when you first or close to it, put message to contact relatives. I have been watching your progress but don't remember all of it. You have had quit some messages with others and am happy that you found relatives, school chums etc. I have only lived here since 1989 at Roy. I moved to Steilacoom in 1986 Jan out here in 1989. I used to live most of my life in Eastern ORE and Wash and in Okanogan Co above Wenatche. I lived abt 20 miles south of the Canadian Border which is 3 miles north of Oroville ,( as border crossing 3 miles north.) in the 1940's going to school. in Tonasket, Wa. Worked in apples, thinned, picked, sorted, packed, etc. I also lived in Charles City Iowa in Floyd Co in 1949/50/51 till May and left for Yakima, Wa and then to Hermiston ( Ordinance) in June 1951 where my then spouce Floyd Edward Brooks went to work at the Umatilla Ordinance Depot. When a state Rep bought the housing development for a PIG FARM we had to move to Hermiston abt to /8 miles away. I lived in Ketchikan, ( or rather existed) 1982 to 1985 and was glad to get out of the hell hole Rip Off Tourist Town run by the people and their decesndants of the WWW 2 days. My Gr Grandparents come to Lewis co after a younger bro had come in late 1850's. name of William Pumphrey. John Hamilton and another brother Francis "Frank' Pumphrey, came in abt 1880's from Ill and from Lewis Co Va , Weston , as their parents, Joseph Pumphrey lived with other ch still there. then. I have been researching so many surnames in my family that I have boxes of old fashioned way plus 5 times more E Mail way and more fun, that I am going to be sorting and putting in My Fam Com As soon as I can. I need lots more. Have a number of loop holes and some dead ends. Maybe I'll find these after doing the My Fam Co thing. Did you know of the Dentist named Lane in Morton?? he also was an Accountant and died in abt 1965.? His dentist tools are in the museum there. He also started the May days celebration they have there. I am told. Well a Lane descendant I met here in Tacoma and I found him for his only Dau. in abt 1992? From a message plea by his dau through her son. memory, ),when she became 80 yrs old. She lived in Fla. Mr Lane and he rmother divorced and he got custody of , the dau, abt 1917. He went to get her after the Court granted the divorce and gave her to the father, and the mother hide her in a wood shed as she was about 3 yrs old then, and sent him to relatives and after he left she was all ready packed etc. and she left Maine, for Fla. with her. She then told dau. he was killed in war. After her mother died at abt 90+ yrs, the dau was going through her mothers things and found a notebook where all this imfo was kept like a diary and she had kept up with where he went etc after he left maine when he couldn't find the dau. But all those yrs she never let her dau. know she still had a father and the terrible thing she did to the dau depriving her of a father. By E Mail from her son, we found hin in SSDI, then went to the City Directories, in Tacome, lost him in a 3 yr period and I thinking that he may have been missed kept checking and he had returned in the city directory of Tacoma. So then we checked by calling the Senior Center in Morton and asked questions etc.. and located people that knew him and of 2 ch of an adopted dau of her father's The Lane Dentist. He never found her. All those yrs. Her son took a week and brought his 79 yr old mother on plane to Tacoma and met the step grson of her father an they went to Morton pre arranged by us. They got a big welcome and she got pictures given to her and saw the museum and had a grand time except for getting to see her father. She went home with all her dreams filled as much as she could have after all these 80 yrs. We helped her celebrate her 80th birthday with her son at the OLive Garden in Tacoma for Dinner. We all cried and it was so rewarding to have been able to help this great granmother to have a dream fullfilled and go home a happy Gr mother. I will never forget it. Before they left for home our families and them had a big dinner at The then new,Country Kitchen in Lakewood as we could all pick what we wanted to eat.We took pictures also to remember our time. She was so delightfull. She was so upset with her mother and said never again will she put flowers or go to visit her mother's grave. I guess her mother never remarried . It was a terrible thing she had done to a child or even when she had asked about him to be lying all those years. Isn't this about one of the sadest and joyful storries you have ever heard, Rodney??? I thought since you were raised in Morton I would tell you about some of our experience of a lifetime. I would like to hear from someone in Lewis Co at Morton when this lady was there to find out about, her Father, ied The DENTIST, MR LANE who d I think it was abt 1965 there.

These people are my great grandparents and I would like to be able to exchange information with someone else who is following this particular line. The reason I thought you might be working on this particular JESSEE line is that Rodney posted something I had written some time back on this Wm and Eunice and their children and your name and email address were included in that post. So... I thought you might be working on the same JESSEE line I'm on and I wanted to make contact with you should that be the case. None of the names you mention in your post here are known to me or are in my lines, so probably the posting of your name along with my direct line was just a flux and somebody accidentally put the two together. At any rate, I appreciate your getting back to me.

I am , in the old late 1800's.. Now she is bur. in LittleFalls Cem at Vadar, which used to be called same name. This was abt 1924?? All that is on the concrete stone is , " Sarah Jane Baldwin, Mother of James Smith" as if that is all ch. she had???? I wonder , since I haven't been able to find her death date at all anywhere, if it may lie in some removal records in Lewis or Cowlitz Co. as some bodies were removed to other Cemeteries around from the Pumphrey property when it was sold out of the Pumphrey hands in 1920's , when??? I have her birth date of 1859 in Springfield Ill, where another sister had died and is burried. She had 2 other sisters both who had moved to Lewis Co. Martha who had mar. John Bland in Ill prior to the family moving to Lewis Co Wa in abt 1870's?? Martha and John came to Lewis Co with several ch and he died and she remar. to Griffith. ( memory) The other sister was Mary Pumphrey who mar to John Layton and she , Sarah , Martha, and Mary's dau. Mary , all died of T B from abt 1890 to abt 1920. I wonder if anyone who is descend from any of these persons or from the 3 brothers, John Hamilton Pumphrey, Francis "Frank" Pumphrey's , and William Pumphrey's descenants would have the death date of Sarah Jane Pumphrey Baldwin abt 1905/6 ? as 1 dau. said she was 6 yrs and she was b 1899 when her mother died. She left a new baby that had died just before she did, lived in and is bur. in Vader Cem. Hope someone can help me on this. Read the message below abt the removal papers etc. and help me if you can. I know there are a number of descendants of Sarah's 2 sisters, (Layton and Bland, and Griffith, )and her uncles, (William and Frank ( Francis) ) in the area and hope someone can help me. Thank you for your Time.

There are 15 file boxes of records, which were turned over to the National Archives "as is" and are filed for purposes of the Corps of Engineers, with no indexes, alphabetization, or any other orderly way to find anything. The files are largely contracts to relocate cemeteries, including purchasing land, clearing land, exhuming, transporting and reburial at the new location. There were detailed records of contact with nearest kin and obtaining authorization to move the remains. There were hundreds of Grave Removal Orders - one for each grave, but in no particular order, that I could discern. These had annotations about the condition of the body, container, inventory of other articles found in the grave (one had a shovel in it); transportation record; and certificate of reinterment. The files even contained a number of 4 1/4 X 6 3/4 bound field notebooks about all sorts of subjects, from finding nearest kin, to details about the new cemetery. It appeared to me that the new cemetery was named "New Burney", for example, which replaced Burney Cemetery. I was overwhelmed with the many things that had to be done to move those cemeteries. There were a lot of unmarked graves which were relocated. In fact, while digging a grave at one of the new cemeteries, it was noted that some remains were found that were unmarked, unknown. They placed the bones in a new container and reburied it. To research a specific cemetery and deceased person would be a major undertaking. There are specific files about the cemeteries, but it is not necessarily easy to find the name of any particular deceased. I can appreciate why the National Archives advised you to come look, because the files do not lend themselves to easy research. These files are what you call "primary sources" and they are not "user friendly." I know this does not solve your problem, but as thorough as the Corps of Engineers seemed to be from the records I scanned, from back in the late 30's and early 40's, I would guess that the burials in the "New" cemeteries are as accurate as could be accomplished.
