[or-roots] Re: Dayton Oregon & Washington

[Nancy Lee Adams]

Yes, you are right Denise. Jesse Day did plan the plot plan for Dayton,
Washington & owned the whole town & sold off sections of land in the city.
And yes, the city  Dayton, WA. is named after Jesse Day. 

But, Joel Palmer founded both Dayton's in Washington & Oregon. I believe
there is a sign some where coming into Dayton, Oregon that Joel Palmer is
the founder of it too.

Also, my G-grandparents Flanagan & McCubbins bought there land on South
Willow St. in Dayton, Washington from Jesse day. There house was directly
across the street from The Historic Dayton Depot before it was moved to
Commercial St. I have a picture of this that shows the Flanagan house with
an outhouse out back,  that was given to me from my mother's cousin a
Flanagan from a newspaper clipping & he stills owns the house to this day. 

Thanks! Nancy

It is possible I have gotten incorrection information but I had that Jesse
Day filed a plot plan for Dayton WA in 1871 with the Columbia County Audtior
  I had kind of assumed perhaps that the city was named after Jesse Day.  I
haven't looked into Joel Palmer in Dayton WA but I have associated him with
Dayton Oregon.  If I remember correctly there is a restaurant in Dayton
Oregon in the "Palmer House".

ancestor and thus my interest)

I know there is a town of Dayton, Oregon & did you know that Joel Palmer
founded both towns of Dayton in both Washington & Oregon?
But my family is from Dayton, Columbia Co., Washington. I have now really
confused the issue.. I'm sure <G>
