[or-roots] Name coincidences

[Broad1000 at aol.com]

My Foster family is Philip and Mary Charlotte Pettygrove Foster from Maine  
who settled in Eagle Creek, Clackamas County.  Their sons in 1850 would be  
George and Frank.  I do know there was a James Foster across the Clackamas  
River in the Logan area also but no relationship.

I thought it kinda that way since I don't recall noticing  Carrol(l) as a
particularly common name and since the population of Oregon  in 1850 wasn't
so huge as to generate every imaginable surname by accident.  Some of them 
do
seem awfully common though. We had a friend her in  Reedsport that was a
Foster descendant and she asked me to look into her  ancestry, but at the
time I was pretty green and didn't get far, but in  browsing 1850 Clackamas
Co to find a Dunn to check out for Paul Christian I  stumbled across about
five families of Fosters. Knowing they probably are  no kin of my Foster
ancestors just somehow makes that a little  discouraging.

Interesting.  I have only begun to  do research on the Carroll family and
it isn't easy because anything that I  might find would be before the
1850 census.  My great great  grandfather's mother was a Hettie Carroll,
I don't know if that was a  nickname for Henrietta or Harriet but I
assume it was a nickname.  She  was married and died in Illinois.  Her
son ended up in Hardman Oregon  and in fact is buried  there.
