[or-roots] Gearhart

[Anne Clark]

Diane,
  James Polk Gearhart married  Margaret Ann Davis and William H. Gearhart married Eliza Ellen Davis Metcalf (a widow of George Mefcalf).  The Davis girls were sisters of my husband, Norm's great grandmother, Hannah Jane Davis Clark.   The Gearhart brothers came to Oregon with their father in the 1850's.  You can find more history about them in the History of Grant, Baker , Harney and Malheur Counties.    Both Gearhart brothers are buried  near here.

          There is a Gearhart Mountain in eastern Klamath County...Lew McArthur gives the naming of that mountain credit to pioneer ranchers James P. Gearhart, and his brother, William H. Gearhart.
   
  Also, Henry G. Hadley's brother Samuel, was a strong infludence in Lake County.  His family settled here.
