<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When did Jason Clark migrate from Harrisburg OR to

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Robert! Yes, I can ans your query- it was 1855
when my Clark clan migrated from Harrisburg, OR to the Umpqua area of
Winchester,OR near Roseburg. It was there that they farmed, accdg to the
Info of record at the Roseburg, State Museum.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>It was at that general location that they became members of the Umpqua
Academy, Wilbur OR conducted by Father James Wilbur, aka a Wilbur Academy ( a
Methodist Academy). My Clarks were at the Umpqua area site from 1855 -
1865 when the family migrated to White River Valley, Washington Territory, which
became Titusville, then Kent, Washington which it </DIV>
<DIV>remains today, just south of Seattle. </DIV>
<DIV> The Roseburg Museum has PIX of Umpqua Academy, as well as records
from that Academy, and maps that show the </DIV>
<DIV>residents of the time. I was able to see my Clark's farmland, and who
their neighbors were via the Museum's holdings.</DIV>
<DIV> For those not familiar with the area Winchester was a very small
town, near Wilbur OR and near the Museum at Roseburg.</DIV>
<DIV>I was happy to have visited those sites where my ancestors tread, and the
Museum a great place to do research of the area.</DIV>
<DIV>The Staff there were most helpful to me and this was back in the '80s when
I slept in the back of my Volvo 1800 ES</DIV>
<DIV>Sportwagon which small and I had to curl up in it - but when you have been
bitten by the Gen. Bug, you do all sorts of </DIV>
<DIV>crazy things to shag that Info. !!! Now, I 80 and I don't do those
trips that I used to do when I was livid for ancestral</DIV>
<DIV>tracings. I had ham radio to keep me in touch with home in Snohomish
in those times. I used ham radio to shag descendants and to shag info such as my
Stop in Portland where I used my Pentax camera to take close ups of a CLARK
Pulpit Bible presented to my Grt Grt GF Jason S. Clark in 1865 when the Family
was leaving Umpqua Academy for WA Territory.</DIV>
<DIV> Enyoy!</DIV>
