[or-roots] Belknaps

[Marsha BradleyLuthy]

Muddy River was were I started searching.
It turns out that the Bradleys( my family) were connected by marriage to
many of the other familys in that area.  Linn Co Library has alot of
information on early families at the Bellfountain Cemetery.

You know in the depression some of the Belknaps that lived on the Mckenzi (
aunt Martha  Shelly) would have been her sister inlaw moved to merced in
Ca.  Believe they came came back, around dalles.

Just a few memories sorry..................Marsha
