I don't have any information on a lumber camp. I do know Edward purchase 80 acres of land @ $1.25 an acre from the government (BLM records/patent) This was in Section 20, Township 23 Range 14. Also, my records show that Maria married someone called Raymond Fenner 11 July 1869 at Pepin. I descend through Rebecca's second husband Robert Henry. Her third was Henry H. Scovill, not Schofield. Contact me off-list if you want more data on this family at shirleyadw@earthlink.net. But if you find out any more about a lumber camp I'd like to know. My info tells me he was a farmer - might be both, of course. Shirley Williams
