Just a note if anyone is interested in Joel Palmer, the Fort Walla Walla Museum puts on a living history presentation on him and other notable pioneers every summer, I was to one this last year and it was on Joel Palmer and Robert Newell.
Robert newell's wife as well as Joseph Meek's 2nd wife were sisters of my G G Grandmother, Pah Tis Sah (Isabel Craig) all daughters of Chief James Moses of the Lapwai band Nez Perce tribe.

Denise,  here are some web sites that tell some history about each Daytons in OR & WA.

The town was named by Joel Palmer and Andrew Smith after Smith's former home in Dayton, Ohio. The town developed a waterfront along the Yamhill River and became an important shipping point. At first, boats were propelled by Indians pushing on the banks with long sticks. Soon steam replaced the hand power and a brisk trade developed with the three-times-per-week boat trips.

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".

(Jesse Day's second wife was a grand-daughter of Cornelius Gilliam, my 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>
