<DIV>DIANE: i lost the root name way, way back. the hoskins name
however is a very different matter. dillon hoskins, i believe, married
the brother of another of my gr. grandmother cynthia jane shaw.
they came to oregon and for awhile lived in the panther creek area over near
dayton, oregon. they then moved to freewater, which is now
milton-freewater. they are both buried at a pioneer cem. in m.f.
cynthia jane shaw's brother was william t. shaw and he m. rebecca hoskins, so i
am interested in that name also.</DIV>

Arizona/Root surname<BR><BR></DIV></FONT><FONT size=3>
<DIV><BR>Gary, I noticed the name, Root, in you research. I
found the name Root ( no first name given) in the 1875 census of Lake County,
Oregon. Root and Hoskins drove a herd of cattle into the Chewaucan
Valley of Lake County, Oregon from California in 1871 according to <EM>The
History of Central Oregon</EM> <EM>. </EM>In the 1880 census
there is still the Hoskins family, but I cannot find any mention of
Root. Louise Hoskins was age 60 in 1880 and had a son and grandson
living with her. Next door was John Hoskins, whom I presume was another
son, and his wife. I find no Root in the cemetery listings, nor any
Hoskins listed either.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do you have any clues?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, Diane</DIV>
