  Nothing in the table of contents on Taylor or Ostrand.  However, the History of East Multnomah County Pioneer Association on page 1:

  From the records of Mrs. Ostrand, we find that in the year 1852, E. H. Taylor, her father, came to Oregon.  He purchased land on the Oregon side of the Columbia about 1863, which was later known as Taylor's Landing and still later as Corbett.  Folklore says that Corbett received its name through a game of chance carried on in Portland.  A post office was established at Taylor's landing in 1884, and J. S. Stevens established a store in 1888.  In the year 1884, Mr. Taylor donated an acre of land for a school which stood on the west end of the present school site, and was known as Taylor School.. ..

  pg 4 [about 1926]

  ...Mr. Arneson bought Roy Anderson's store, which was just west beyond the little cottage where Lydia Ostrand lived and adjacent to Claude Woodle's Hardware.. ..

  Living East of the Sandy Vol 2 by Clarence E Mershon, has a nice article on the Taylor family.  Though they call him E. F. Taylor.

    I have also been looking for a copy of History of East Multnomah County Pioneers Volume I but have been unable to find it.  I am researching EJ TAYLOR (Ervine Jasper) of Vermont who it is said to have pioneered Taylor's Landing which later became Corbett.  He is buried in the Corbett Cemetery. 

    I am looking for his family information which was noted to be in the East Multnomah County book written by his daughter Lydia TAYLOR OSTRAND.  

    I found Ervine/Irvine and is wife Margaret HAMILTON in the census for Fisher's Landing in Washington in 1860 the year Lydia was born.  They had a son Zachara and three other children

    Any information regarding this TAYLOR family would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
