<DIV>Alan French was the brother in law of Allen Reynolds. Both</DIV>
<DIV>men married Gibson women. Allen Reyolds was my gr gr.</DIV>
<DIV>grandfather. The French couple adotped the Kieft twins</DIV>
<DIV>Dolly and Molly of the book by the late Marjorie Hayes,</DIV>
<DIV>"The Land that Kept its Promise." They too were from </DIV>
<DIV>Hennepin Co., MN., and as far as I can tell arrived in the</DIV>
<DIV>Alsea area to stay with the Reynolds in about 1885.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My gg grd father Shepard Barnes was in Bayview area early</DIV>
<DIV>on, since he had property there he gave in 1898 to his nephew and to my ggf
who came in 1896. Have not been able to find grant deed to him, but did
find his grantee deeds</DIV>
<DIV>to them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is amazing how many of my family were in, about, or</DIV>
<DIV>passed through the bayview area 1893-1926.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Elbridge S. Barnes, James W. Barnes, John Calvin Barnes, Shepard B. Barnes,
Elmer Briggs, Alan French, Allen Reynolds, Albert Reynolds, William
Reynolds, Josiah Cameron Reynolds, George W. Prescott, Piere
Prescott, Oscar Peterson, William Strake, William Tullock, Shepard
Blanchard Tullock, Prince Lwellyn Tullock, and of course the Twombly family
related to the Prescott family.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>George & Pierre Prescott were the sons of Melissa Farnsworth Barnes and
George Rufus Prescott. William</DIV>
<DIV>Tullock was Melissa's 2nd husband. George helped build</DIV>
<DIV>the two local light houses. Pierre was married to the</DIV>
<DIV>Twombly girl in Bayview.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Everybody in my family thought Beaverton in Was. Co., was</DIV>
<DIV>the interesting spot, but Bayview was were the action was</DIV>
<DIV>to be found.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anything you can find on these will make me interested in</DIV>
<DIV>your CD.</DIV>

Passages</DIV> Passages from my Oregon eBook:
<P>"In 1910, 15 more people joined Lincoln Grange: Ambrose Cook, J. A.
Coovert, John Ross Coovert (1880-1929), Hattie Phelps Coovert Edwards
(1891-1944), the wife of Clarence Edwards (1890-1909), Newton L. Guilliams
(1866-1932), C. C. Gwynn, Helga Holmgren, Merle C. Jones (1910-1979),
Edith McKensey, Henry McKensey, James F. Roberts, Conrad Thompson, L. T.
Thompson, <B>Guy Twombly,</B> and <B>Herbert Twombly</B>."
<P>"Horrey Woods and George Ryan played the violin, as did many others.
Herman Webber played piano, and Neta Phelps was very good to play long
hours on the piano. Frank Gatens called many of the square dances.<B> Guy
Twombly</B> could call a dance when things were dull. The most fascinating
dancer Florence Payne Howell could remember was an elderly woman who
really danced with glee! Howell thought the dances were a bit noisy, but
after she learned all of them she really loved them."
<P>"In 1922, Herbert Hassman was the only new person to join Lincoln
Grange, but 1923 saw six new members: Laverna Payne Bell, Elmer Cook, Fred
Cook, Wilbur Collins (?-1942), Reynolds W. Ohmart, and <B>Benjamin
Twombly</B>."
<P>"In 1966, five Lincoln Grange members were still living when this
report was written in 1966: Lena Hewitt-Hurt, Gertrude Phelps-Inglehart of
Salem, Fred McWillis of Monument, Chester L. Ryan of Waldport, and
<B>Dexter Twombly</B>, Vernonia."

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE="CITE"> Connie,Thank you for your note on the
Twomblys. Jennie is my mother. Since she died we
have put a new stone at the Fern Ridge Cemetery at Seal Rocks. The
book you speak of, is this one you wrote or not. Sounds like I
should have a copy.
