<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>From the records of Mrs. Ostrand, we find that in
the year 1852, E. H. Taylor, her father, came to Oregon. He purchased
land on the Oregon side of the Columbia about 1863, which was later known as
Taylor's Landing and still later as Corbett. Folklore says that Corbett
received its name through a game of chance carried on in Portland. A
post office was established at Taylor's landing in 1884, and J. S. Stevens
established a store in 1888. In the year 1884, Mr. Taylor donated an
acre of land for a school which stood on the west end of the present school
site, and was known as Taylor School.. .. </FONT></EM></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>I have also been looking for a
copy of History of East Multnomah County Pioneers Volume I but
have been unable to find it. I am researching EJ TAYLOR (Ervine
Jasper) of Vermont who it is said to have pioneered Taylor's Landing which
later became Corbett. He is buried in the Corbett
Cemetery. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>I am looking for his family
information which was noted to be in the East Multnomah County book written
by his daughter Lydia TAYLOR OSTRAND. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4>I found Ervine/Irvine and is wife
Margaret HAMILTON in the census for Fisher's Landing in Washington in 1860
the year Lydia was born. They had a son Zachara and three other
children</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
