<DIV><FONT size=2>To this date, I still have not found my GGG-Grandfather's grave or who his siblings or parents were. I can not go back any further in time in the past. I have done all I could (but not enought I guess) & researched lots, with lots of help from all of you at or-roots & I thank you! But my James McCubbins is a thick strong brick wall.. I can not break.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>*Also, my GGG-grandparents, Hanson & Lavina (Wickard) <STRONG>Stevens</STRONG> came to Oregon on the trail from Keokuck, Iowa in 1852 & settled at Silverton, Marion Co., Oregon.
