Gary 
I see a couple of you are taking about the Root surname I have a number of Root's in my family .
Abigail Root 1754
Charles Levi 1847
Ezra Stewart 1832
If any of these ring a bell let me know, I have a lot more, there is also a website that has a lot of Root info on it.

  DIANE:  i lost the root name way, way back.  the hoskins name however is a very different matter.  dillon hoskins, i believe, married the brother of another of my gr. grandmother cynthia jane shaw.  they came to oregon and for awhile lived in the panther creek area over near dayton, oregon.  they then moved to freewater, which is now milton-freewater.  they are both buried at a pioneer cem. in m.f.  cynthia jane shaw's brother was william t. shaw and he m. rebecca hoskins, so i am interested in that name also.

    Gary, I noticed the name, Root, in  you research.  I found the name Root ( no first name given) in the 1875 census of Lake County, Oregon.  Root and Hoskins drove a herd of cattle into the Chewaucan Valley of Lake County, Oregon from California in 1871 according to The History of Central Oregon .  In the 1880 census there is still the Hoskins family, but I cannot find any mention of  Root.  Louise Hoskins was age 60 in 1880 and had a son and grandson living with her.  Next door was John Hoskins, whom I presume was another son, and his wife.  I find no Root in the cemetery listings, nor any Hoskins listed either.

    Do you have any clues?

    Thanks, Diane
