Hello,

I have the following book that I would be happy to search for you:

110 Years with Josephine, The History of Josephine County, Oregon, 1856-1966

It is mainly photos of the area, but it does have some interesting info.

Interested in my ancestors James H Triplett, William his son and james wife Mary Jane(Swift) Triplett plus williams family Eveline(Murray) Triplett later married to J M Martin in Leland Merlin area or Jump Off Joe and Galice Creek ,1870 to 1900 G Frame

Hi,
Are there any Boyd, Mattison, Norton around Jump Off Joe Creek or Josephine County/Grants Pass? Late 1800's...William Boyd, etc.? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Mabel E. Boyd married Dudley M. De Puy 4/15/1890 vol 3 page 103
Mabel E. Boyd married Raymond D. Stock 4/2/1906 vol 5 page 189. Mabels parents were T.G. and Philindia Boyd.
"First there was Twogood" by Larry McLane page 91 Petition for Liquor licence signed by W.E. Boyd. This means he was in the Leland area in Jan of 1907 as he had to be a resident to sigh a petition

A belated thank you for the information...Mabel and her parents are my family...

I'd never heard anything about a liquor licence before your post, & so was not sure you found the William Boyd I was looking for. But recently ran across an unlabeled, undated photo of Wm Boyd and waitresses/staff in front of "Emerick Cafe" "Breakfast and Lunch." Your information helps place him in time, but now I wonder where the cafe was...any ideas?

Thanks again for your time.

Was Leland a town or a mining settlement? Does Leland still exist? I couldn't find much info on the internet. I'll keep looking...

thanks...

I would like to ask about
David Miller & Sarah Kester - Slate Creek
In Josephine Co late 1860's-1890's.

I guess my rogk has come back around. I doubt you have anything on Isaac Thomas and his family, Lizzie, James, Dorothy, Lyda, and Warren. I appreciate your effort. Thanks.

I have the book"Josephine County Historical highlights" vol 1 by Edna May Hill it states:
William B. Hay was born in 1805 in Lee County Virginia. He married Mary Elizabeth Sandsbury in October 1822. Their children were; Jarvis and Jeremiah(Jerry) twin sons born Aug 4,1838; James Willis(Willie),a son born July 10,1842 and a daughter Elizabeth.If you want the entire article let me know and I will copy and snail mail it to you.
They are in the 1860 census.
Jarvis is in the 1870 census
I see hay and Hays in the 1900 census.
