[or-roots] Claypool Cemetery, Linn County

[Leslie Chapman]

Pat;

I meant to take a look at this Pat, but today I discovered some more of my
Wisner Family in Linn Co history, or I should say some more of the
buttonholes. I can't seem to locate the last email exchange I had on this
topic on the list. (Haven't looked in enough folders yet) But I decided to
poke around a little. My problem is Nancy A. Gilmore that I have married to
Henry Wisner according to Wisners in America seems to be Nancy Elizabeth
Gilmore, step-mother; by her second husband, of one of our famous sons;

Homer Davenport.

Since it seems like I remember knowing that the brother of my James Wisner
ma (H)Esther Beeler was here in Oregon I am going to have to dig more in my
stuff, but what I don't seem to be able to find is a date of death for
Nancy. There is no entry for  her in the Or Death index, at least not as
Nancy Davenport, but considering how well researched the above link is I
can't think she is easy to find.

Now the reason I bring this up in Pat's problem is in the 1870 Census I do
find an Andrew Richarson in Linn co, he just happens to be on he same page
with my James and Hester. But he's married to a Ruth. Okay, never mind, I
must be going blind, now I find him in 1860 married to May June at the
bottom of the same page as Reuben Claypool.

I tried scanning that precinct in 1870, also Sand Ridge (where I found the
inlaws of Henry Wisner with his widow living at home as a Gilmore again) and
tried several of the neighbors in the 1870 Census with no luck.

I will keep it in mind since I am not through searching for my folks in the
neighborhood.

Subject: [or-roots] Claypool Cemetery, Linn County


On the 1878 Atlas of Marion and Linn Counties, map 7, page 81, upper right
corner, in "Center" there is a cemetery marked on the property of Andrew
Richardson, including part of the original DLC of Aaron Claypool. I looked
this up on the GNIS and apparently it's called the "Claypool" cemetery, and
according to Findagrave it includes some Parrish's, Washburns, Jacksons,
etc.

Does anyone have a complete census of this cemetery? Or know anything about
it?

I'm trying to find out what happened to Andrew Jackson Richardson who
married Mary Jane Gallaher. They disappear from the censuses after 1860,
though there is evidence of children born after 1870.  I eventually find
her, and some of the children, in Washington. She and a daughter are buried
in the same cemetery as Andrew Jackson's sister, Cynthia (Richardson) Parks,
in Colton, Whitman County, Washington.

One descendant indicates that he may have died in Umatilla County about
1880, but why no census? What's going on here?

Since I'm going to be going to Portland in a couple of weeks, and plan to
visit Linn county, the courthouse, the cemetery, etc, anything I can find
out now will help.
