        Found this right off the bat.. 

        Oregon Sheriffs - Douglas County
        The first Sheriff of Douglas County came to Oregon with the Hudson's Bay ...
        1933 to 1941 after Vivian Theodore Jackson served from 1929 to 1933 as Sheriff. 

        In 1908, B. Fenton won the election for Sheriff and spent four years as head of county law enforcement. George K. Quine was elected to his first term in 1911 and served as Sheriff for 10 years -- the longest of any Sheriff so far in the county, Samuel Starmer followed in 1921 and served until September 1927, when he resigned to become commandant at the Old Soldiers Home. Percy A. Webb was appointed to the Sheriff's position in 1927 and held the office until 1929, coming back later to serve from 1933 to 1941 after Vivian Theodore Jackson served from 1929 to 1933 as Sheriff. Jackson also at one time was County Judge and was on the State Legislature from 1953 to 1955.

        I'm wanting to learn if anyone has any info on Vivian Theodore Jackson.  Some years back my great uncles told me this man was my great-grandfather's best friend and his son was related distantly thru the Agee line of the family (I wasn't clear if it was the mom or dad that was suppose to be related).  I'm just beginning to work on learning about this family.  I have discovered that 1929-1933 V.T. Jackson was the Sheriff of Douglas County, Oregon.  His wife was Susie and son, Elton V. and dau. Dorothy D. were living at home in Roseburg.  I thought he also had a son named David but that son is not listed in their home in the 1930 census.

        Just thought I'd ask on the OR-Roots list as possibly someone else already has info. on this family.
