The Quinn Family was my ancestors. Their DNC is located on what is now
Quinn road and yes it is about 3 miles east of Marquam. The oldest Quinn
daughter, my great aunt, married Alvin Thomas the oldest brother of
George W Thomas and Henry J Thomas.
I have a book with all Oregon county maps with detailed Township and
Ranges. If anyone would like me to scan and email them a copy of any
area in Oregon I would be glad to do so.

Tom;
I have pondered this before since the 1880 Census is fairly imprecise
(most
of western Douglas Co is listed as Gardiner precinct) and I just hit on
an
approximate solution. It will only work if two things prove out; You
will
need to find a household on each side of George which has been
continuously
occupied since 1860, as a first guess find one with children born in
oregon,
ideally they have at least one slacker in the family who is still home
in
adult hood;

Wait a minute, theseThomas's have been in Oregon for a long time, have
you
searched for a homestead of theirs?
back to my point, the quinns are about 15 household away but just as a
quick
check I was pretty sure I could find a homestead for them if they had
one;

If this doesn't mean anything to you I can explain how to read this but
what
it means is the
Quinn place is about 3 miles straight east of Marquam. now if you can
find
one of the closer households and can bracket them you will at least have
an
approximation.
How about this, I assume this must be a the brother;
two doors up from George;

This puts them about a mile southeast of Maple Grove School, if you go
to

you
will be close.

I need to get to work.

Subject: [or-roots] Location of Geo. Thomas's house in 1878, Clackamas
County, Oregon
Hi List,
Can anyone tell me where Geo. W. Thomas's house was located in Clackamas
County, Oregon and/or the Soda Springs Census Precinct? From the Census
Reports his house was located in the Soda Springs Census Precinct. From
the 1890 Veteran Schedule Census Records, Soda Springs Census Precinct
includes both Wilhoit and Marquam. That would be some area SE of State
Rt. 213, S of Molalla and E of Scotts Mills. My great grandparents,
Herbert O. INSKEEP and Wilhelmine (Minnie) HORNSCHUCH, were married
there on 2 Jul 1878.
I want to thank those who have sent me emails about the above topics.
Tom
