<DIV>My gg-grandfather, David Diggins, pioneered Oregon. Battle
Mountain (first homestead), Umatilla Co I think. He sold that place to
his son Thomas Diggins and then he built another homestead in
Joseph. I cant find my records on him. There wasnt a Pioneer Cert on
him. My greataunt said that had a park dedicated to the pioneers and there
was a step with his name on it. Not sure where that
was. The family is buried in Milton-Freewater and Walla Walla.
So I am wondering if the park is around there? Hoping that it could
have a date that he came to OR.</DIV>
