Their DNC is located on what is now Quinn road and yes it is about 3 miles east
of Marquam. The oldest Quinn daughter, my great aunt, married Alvin Thomas the
oldest brother of George W Thomas and Henry J Thomas. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Tom;<BR><BR>I have pondered this before since the 1880 Census is
fairly imprecise (most<BR>of western Douglas Co is listed as Gardiner precinct)
and I just hit on an<BR>approximate solution. It will only work if two things
prove out; You will<BR>need to find a household on each side of George which has
been continuously<BR>occupied since 1860, as a first guess find one with
children born in oregon,<BR>ideally they have at least one slacker in the family
who is still home in<BR>adult hood;<BR><BR>J H QUINN

[or-roots] Location of Geo. Thomas's house in 1878, Clackamas<BR>County,
Oregon<BR><BR><BR>Hi List,<BR>Can anyone tell me where Geo. W. Thomas's house
was located in Clackamas<BR>County, Oregon and/or the Soda Springs Census
Precinct? From the Census<BR>Reports his house was located in the Soda
Springs Census Precinct. From<BR>the 1890 Veteran Schedule Census Records,
Soda Springs Census Precinct<BR>includes both Wilhoit and Marquam. That
would be some area SE of State<BR>Rt. 213, S of Molalla and E of Scotts
Mills. My great grandparents,<BR>Herbert O. INSKEEP and Wilhelmine
(Minnie) HORNSCHUCH, were married<BR>there on 2 Jul 1878.<BR><BR>I want to thank
those who have sent me emails about the above
topics.<BR><BR>Tom<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>or-roots
