<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>Pretty sure Gordon is not a relative. Though I
have not traced his line. [Just looked him up on the 1930 Census for Bend,
Deschutes, Oregon.] His father Clyde was born in Wisconsin and he was born
in Minnesota. No chance whatever that he is related. At least not in
this country. Clyde McKay's father was born in Scotland.</FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>My line goes to John McKay who came to the
Oregon county with the Hudson Bay Company in 1829 from Scotland. He
married a woman of the Colville area. She was the castoff, widow, ex-wife,
whatever of Francis Herron a Chief Factor of the Hudson Bay Company who had been
stationed at Fort Colvile and was then sent to Fort Nisqually.
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>John McKay was at Nisqually when they arrived.
</FONT></EM></DIV></FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>John's wife, Josephte Boucher, was the daughter of
Josephte Kanthopisa, a full blood; and a voyager Jean Baptiste Boucher. As a
widow John's mother-in-law married Joachim Hubert who also
settled at French Prairie. </FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>Some of John and Josephte's children
stayed with the white world and others enrolled on the reservations. Two
of the boys lived at Colvile and one at Grande Ronde. One of the
girl's lines ended up at Warm Springs. </FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>Anyway I have not found a Gordon McKay anywhere in
the line.</FONT></EM></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Barb,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you know if the McKay's on your website are
related to Gordon McKay the senator from the Bend area in the late 60's and
early 70's? Gordon's parents were one of the early settlers of the Bend
area. The city had a nice bronze plaque at the lake (before the
remodeling) honoring the family.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>My resolution for the New Year is to get this
website updated. Most importantly I need a new front

<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>The site is graphics intensive so will load
slowly for anyone with a slow modem.</FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></EM> </DIV>
