[or-roots] Oregon names)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Vicki,<BR><BR>A Henry Bonebrake, M.G. (Minister of the Gospel)
married my gggrandparents, James Smith and Rebecca Jane Mathew, in Marion Co.,
IA 4 Jul 1854. James was born in Fountain Co., IN 14 Aug 1828 and moved to
Marion Co., IA shortly before his marriage. It was while looking for James in
Marion Co., IA that I ran across a great many Bonebrakes listed in tax records
there, including in 1864 a record in Liberty Twp. for a John Bonebrake with
the notation he was a non-resident. In 1853 and other years a John Bonebrake
is listed in the Marion Co. tax lists but with no mention of non-residency,
which would fit with information found in Douglas County Biographical
Abstracts (<A href="http://www.rootsweb.com/~ordougla/biosb.htm"
eudora="autourl">http://www.rootsweb.com/~ordougla/biosb.htm</A>) which says,
"BONEBRAKE, John Starr; Fountain Co., IN 23 Jan 1830 > California > 1852
> Iowa 1856 > Douglas Co., OR bef 1862 [d. Roseburg, OR 1909]; m. Mary
Elizabeth ARNOLD [b. Conco rd, OH 28 Mar 1837, d. Roseburg, OR 1937] 27 Nov
1856 in Newborn, IA. <BR><BR>The "Newborn" above where John Starr and his wife
were married probably is actually Newbern in Marion Co., IA. Do you think this
John Bonebrake might be your John Starr Bonebrake?<BR><BR>Funny . . . as far
as I know there's no relationship (other than perhaps a friendship) of the
Bonebrakes and the Smiths, but when reading these records back in 1992 the
name of the man who performed the marriage struck me because there was a
Bonebrake family in Hood River Co. where I grew up. <BR><BR>Beth<BR><BR><BR>At

<DD>My John Bonebrake was born in 1845 and the info I have says that his
wife's name was Martha Ann. No surname. does this ring a
bell? Yes they are the Douglas County Bonebrakes
