<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>Do you have any clues?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, Diane</DIV>
