[or-roots] Llewellyn - Howell marriage

[Broad1000 at aol.com]

Last weekend I was just given a receipt written on a torn off piece of  
paper dated 1854 in which Henderson Luelling (alternative spelling) was to  
give 21 lbs. of apple seeds ??? to be delivered to Philip Foster in Eagle  
Creek.  I don't have the receipt in front of me so I'm not sure of the  
intermediate person.

Marsha, I just wrote a short radio script for Jefferson  Public Radio's As 
It Was program about Henderson Lewelling and his two  brothers Seth and 
John.  It is remarkabled that these three brothers  started the grafted frut 
tree industry in at least two states:  Iowa and  Oregon, and perhaps in Central 
California as well. t
 
    The fact that both the Bing cherry (named  after Seth Lewelling's 
Manchurian
foreman and the Latham cherry (a sport that one of Seth's  workers 
developed aqfter a seedling from one of the Bing trees he had, is  remarkable.  And 
that 
what we call the Royal Ann cherry actually is called a  Napoleon back east, 
but one of the Lewellings had forgotten thre name of the  cherry graft and 
named it the Royal Ann.--that too is a great story. Bob  Casebeer, Talent.
    By the way by the end of the 1860s large  orchards in Jackson County 
were developed and most likely all of the original  stock came from the 
Lewelling efforts.

Don't mean to interup the conversation, but Violet Moore Guy?  do  you have 
a address or e-mail?

This  is an email I received from Violet Moore Guy on 5/19/06. The  Jean
Leaper she is addressing is the lady back in Iowa who was writing  the
book.
These two ladies have done a lot of research.
