Someone has a tree on Ancestry.com which has pictures of Marion
Dekalb Harpole (their son according to the tree) and a granddaughter
Sarah Emily Harpole.<br>

<div style="font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">My
husband's ancestors <span style="display: inline-block;"
contenteditable="false"></span>William Pope Harpole & his
wife Nancy Mary McMullin were Oregon Pioneers of 1851, coming
from Pike County, Illinois. Wm. P. was one of the first Oregon
legislators, from Marion County. They had an Oregon Donation
Land Claim, as did other Harpole relatives. I don't have my data
here right now, but Wm P. Harpole died in 1862, while out
campaigning for reelection. Nancy M. Harpole lived a long life
with her sons & she died in 1906. The parents, along with
their sons, are buried in the Pioneer Cemetery at Brooks,
Oregon. There's a wonderful website that gives much data on this
family. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">MY
QUESTION IS: how could I find out if there are photos of William
P. and/or Nancy M. Harpole out there? I'm asking because I have
what I think could be a photo of each of these individuals. I
have temporary custody of my husband's grandparents' photo
collection. OF COURSE - there are no names on these photos, but
clues point to these two ancestors, rather than our Andrew &
Catherine Hagey Oregon Pioneers of 1848. It seems to me that if
there were known photos of these Oregon Pioneers, Stephanie
would have them on her wonderful website. Who should I contact
about identifying these terrific old photos. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Also
- there's an old harvest photo I have questions about - in which
the women's dresses fall to their ankles. I figure there must be
either Harpole or Hagey ancestors in that photo, along with a
lot of other folks, or this picture wouldn't have been in
Grandma's collection. What do you suggest I do about these
puzzles?</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I
could share more data about our Harpole and Hagey ancestors with
those who want it, as I've collected much information. I LOVE
the Oregon State Library & the Oregon State Historical
Society Library. I found indexed data for both William P.
Harpole & Andrew Hagey's probates in Marion County, but
haven't gone to the Archives for them yet. If someone would tell
me what she would need to do, there's a cousin in Salem who
might go get those for us. Also, someone on this said we can get
full data for the ancestor's Oregon Donation Land Claim
applications. Please tell us how to do that as well - we have
the ODLC numbers.</div>
