Thanks for your replies. I don't know if there is any connection though, darn it. The only record I can find is a marriage date of 21 Jan. 1863 in Linn County, Oregon, of Joshua and Edith Coshow. My grandfather told me that his grandfather Joshua came from Missouri. Grandfather also told me that Joshua was a cousin to the Younger Brothers that rode with Jesse James. I wonder if he was kidding? They seem to have hid out every time a census was taken. I'm having a hard time tracking anything down on them. Joshua's father could have been Littleton Purcell Younger, born 1813 in Montgomery County, Kentucky, died 23 June 1893 in Brownsville, Oregon. (I took a photo of his tombstone last time I was in Brownsville.) He arrived in Oregon in September 1853. Thanks for any help. Stephanie
