[or-roots] Mowses Place

[MICKIE DUVAL]

Hi Bill, No mowses place come from the fact that my first name is Mickie(like the mouse) and mowse has been a nick name for me, so it sounded like a good email name for me. No, I don't think the Duval line (my husbands name) comes from that one, they are from Canada and it's been a devil of a time tracing them. Those Duval's did live in the Bend/Redmond area for a lot of years. Had a place between Bend and Redmond until, their son(my husband's father) sold it and finally retired. At one point and time if I remember correctly the Duval's owned a whole township?? a large block of land out there.  
But I am trying to find some people from over on the coast, Brookings area, my husband mothers side. Her last name was crook, and her first husband's name was Mellen. Her mothers name was Laura Jane Moore born 15 Nov 1878 from what I can find out but can't find much else. So If any one knows anything about the Crooks, or Moore's from that area I would love to hear from you.  Thanks Bill, have a great weekend. Mickie (mowse)

Mickie --

The best way to get these chatterboxes back on track is to ask them a
question about Oregon genealogy.

So I have a couple for you -- What is Mowses Place? Any relation to Mo
Dixon's place? Or is it a religious or landscaping reference?

And, does your Duval line descend from Maureen, the Immigrant? We may be
cousins, distantly.
