[or-roots] Fw: I.O.F. - WISS

[DanM.]

Egads what a pull on old memories.
Ok well We don't know about when Rogers came to Oregon, I saw in a file regarding I think Jeremiah or something like that there was a tiny note Henry Rogers moved to Or. that's it. My Uncle Rogers was part of the trail thing from Jacksonville 1959.
   On the Matney I will have to look that up, but I think it was sept 1873.
 I have a book on the Modocs also some place with the hanging rack and the Modocs who got stretched.
   my time line looks like it needs some work and this new laptop just don't have every thing on it yet, but it does have the probate if any one can read it better than me, its hard to read and the wording they used is a bit confusing when one don't know the old lingo. I made up my mind this is what happened to him because it seems to fit the times but is only for my own amusement to be factual no one has a clue how we have a deceased great grand with a probate and no death or burial place, Modoc were bad and wild hwy men.
   Now I don't have any thing against the past, I would be friends with any relation who is nice to me <G>

  Dan, can you tell us what the Wiss Infantry was?  This from the guy who literally hates acronyms -- they are so useless -- when did Rogers come to Oregon?

  Switching over to Matneys, how does the date of Walter J's probate compare to Captain Jack's capture on June 4th, or the execution of the four Modoc leaders on October 3rd?  Events of 1873 regarding the Modoc Indians are rather carefully chronicled, and there are a number of well-researched texts regarding such -- examples:
