  Could you explain "Jump off Joe" in terms of what sort of division it was -- city, town, township, area, and roughly where it was, please?  In terms of where in Josephine County?

  "Jump Off Joe" has numerous meanings in the State of Oregon,  from an old rock formation on the beach to a mountain to a creek in Josephine county where Dr Mcloughlin's son, Joeseph, fell and was fatally injured.  I am not familiar with it as an address.

  I ask, because I think I am looking for a Hiram Simpkins reported in the same area, possibly with a wife named Catherine.  Another Hiram Simpkins can be found with wife named Mary, and family, in the 1860, 1870, & 1880 census in the Yamhill and Polk Counties area, and I do not believe this is the fellow I am looking for.  The larger Simpkins family has a plethora of Horatios and Hirams in it.

  Thank you,

  Bill Strickland
