[or-roots] Greenberry

[Harguess, Dale]

There is a famous Ima Hogg who was or still is a very rich woman in Dallas Texas.  I saw a TV program about her some time ago.

Fascinating! My mother (1907-1989) also used to speak about knowing twins named Ima and Ura Hogg; I always wondered if that was a joke.

Greenberry Pumphrey is an interesting name - probably Welsh as the name would come from Humphrey; " ap Humphrey" would be the son of Humphrey.

My wife's family has Greenberrys in it - Greenberry Pumphrey and various iterations among descendants, but they were in Maryland, not Oregon.
 
But some make you wonder.  My mother used to talk about some girls she knew - I believe in the Eugene area - named Ima and Ura Hogg.
