[or-roots] MANLIUS

[Jacqueline]

Thank you Nancy and Les,  

The person who asked me about "Manlius" said that it was among her Oregon papers and she is taking another look. I suggested that it could be surname or that they could have been from NY.  I am waiting for her to get back to me.

  Jacqueline;

  I would have to second Nancy, I queried USGS locator

  http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form

  and came up with nothing in Oregon either populated place or any thing else matching that or any variant thereof in Oregon; you will note there are a total of seven possible locales that might have shown up in Census records. I could attempt a census search for them to see which of the possible three states they actually were in in the relevant paper work if you give me a head of household or two and a time frame that I have access to I would be happy to try and solve your mystery, but I would say it definitely isn't a place in Oregon unless it was purely a local designation; eg. when my family and I talk about the "Camp Forty" or just "Camp" , my generation and older know exactly where we mean, but if someone who lived there when it was a populated place between (as I understand it) about 1910 or 1915 to sometime before 1942, no future generation will be able to track the location from any map or such official paper work. There may be old mill documents in somebodies attic or museum file box that "might" refer to that name, but I would bet when my generation is gone virtually nobody will know what "Camp" was, and your Manlius, if in fact it really is in Oregon is probably something like that.

  Or it could be a typo, which is what I was fishing for when I asked for variants? 

  Sorry to rattle on but I mentioned Camp to someone in the younger generation the other day and they had no clue what I meant, even though her grandfather owns a piece of it!

    Hello
    Does this name ring a bell with anyone? Was there a small town of this name in Oregon at one time? I have been asked this question because a cousin found it in some of her old papers.
