[or-roots] McCullough bridge

[Leslie Chapman]

Robyn;

I had never made the association of names before, sorry to disappoint, but
if Conde is connected to Denise and my McCulloch's it is very distant, he
was a Johnny come lately not comeing to Oregon until 1916. Anyone interested
can find a short bio on hime at the following link from OR blue book;

Denise; it seems you have been acquainted with cousin Bob Chambers in your
Gilliam research, but he had never made the connection between Ada and Ida
which is ironic since according to the 1880 census they are twins! I had
forgotten that. I am going to have to inveigle a copy of his Belieu book out
of him so I can get them in my family tree.

Regarding the McCulloch/McCullough's in Coos County:

I find there are a number of references to various McCulloughs but none
connect up to the John W. names you have Les. But there are two obituaries
for McCullough's in Pioneers and Incidents of the Upper Coquille Valley
(Jason McCulloch b. 1840 in Lee County, Iowa and settled in Douglas County
in 1852 and Carolina Lee McCulloch b. 1882 in Myrtle Point) and Gus and
Addie M. McCulloch living in Coquille; Clair & Darleen McCulloch, Geraldine
C, James A. & Carrie, James K. all living in Myrtle Point in 1940. Also in
1940, there is a Dee and Euphemia McCulloch and Samuel M., Ruth A. & Shirley
McCullough in Marshfield. Anna B. (widow Downey) and Virginia McCulloch are
in North Bend. In 1904-5, I have a James McCullough living in Myrtle Point.

Because of the connection to the Belieu's, there are probably other
connections I haven't found, but Belieu creek is about 12 miles from Myrtle
Point towards Roseburg. Some close friends of mine live in a very old cabin
(about 1900) up Belieu Creek. The area used to be called Enchanted Prairie.
And don't forget the obvious possible connection the the McCullough bridge
in Coos Bay.

I'll keep an eye out for your McCulloch/Belieu connections.Let me know if
any of the info I have sparks an interest and I will be happy to provide the
full information.
