<DIV><SPAN class=030275216-09122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>By the
way, just as a further example -- my great-grandmother (Lottie Parks) married
and had two daughters by Matt Reid. They were in eastern Oregon in 1870 before
the children were born. By 1880, Lottie has married my great-grandfather (Henry
Laramie Palmer) and they are in Whitman County, Washington, with my
grand-aunt, Nettie, born in Idaho Territory, 1878. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=030275216-09122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Where
were the girls? I don't know, but the presumption is that they were living
with the paternal grandparents or siblings, but I haven't found them yet. A few
years later they were together with Lottie in Lincoln (then Benton) County. The
eldest, Mollie Reid, actually married her mother's brother-in-law, Henry's
brother Edwin. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=030275216-09122005><FONT

was living in 1917. Someone on the list found her and her husband with
only one child in an Oregon State Census that I think was on ancestry.com.
I am only assuming that she was put up for adoption because my grandmother never
told anyone about having this oldest daughter or even that she had been married
before my grandfather came along. Her entire family clammed up about the
little girl and some told a story that she was murdered by her father and that
he was hanged in </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN

have proved that this is not true. So my final thought is that the big
secret was that she was given up for adoption and that is why I can find no
record of her death or of a burial or anything. She just seemed to drop
off the earth at the age of about 3.</SPAN></FONT></P>
