<DIV><FONT size=2>Yes, you are right Denise. <U>Jesse Day</U> did plan the plot plan for Dayton, Washington & <U>owned</U> the whole town & sold off sections of land in the city. And yes, the city Dayton, WA. is named after Jesse Day. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But, Joel Palmer <U>founded</U> both Dayton's in Washington & Oregon. I believe there is a sign some where coming into Dayton, Oregon that Joel Palmer is the <U>founder</U> of it too.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Also, my G-grandparents Flanagan & McCubbins bought there land on South Willow St. in Dayton, Washington from Jesse day. There house was directly across the street from The Historic Dayton Depot before it was moved to Commercial St. I have a picture of this that shows the Flanagan house with an outhouse out back, that was given to me from my mother's cousin a Flanagan from a newspaper clipping & he stills owns the house to this day. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>It is possible I have gotten incorrection information but I had that Jesse Day filed a plot plan for Dayton WA in 1871 with the Columbia County Audtior. I had kind of assumed perhaps that the city was named after Jesse Day. I haven't looked into Joel Palmer in Dayton WA but I have associated him with Dayton Oregon. If I remember correctly there is a restaurant in Dayton Oregon in the "Palmer House".</FONT></DIV>
