[or-roots] Hardenbrook & Wilson

[barbhg1221 at comcast.net]

Nanci,
I can't help you with your Hardenbrook and Wilson families, but you say you are researching the Mann family, too.  Are you perhaps related to Achallis Marion Mann (1848-1921) who married Victoria Richardson (1865-1949) in 1881?  His first name has various spellings.  They lived near Junction City in Lane County and then near Corvallis in Benton County.  If you are, I would like to compare notes.
