James Baker history -have this book history<br><h4><a href="http://www.canbyhistoricalsociety.org/town.html#">CANBY HISTORY</a></h4><br>
Situated in the beautiful North Willamette Valley of Clackamas
County, Oregon, Canby was once the seasonal meeting place for tribes of
local Indians and was well known for its annual crop of wild
strawberries. The area, known as Baker Prairie was an open expanse of
ground in the dense fir forest that stretched for miles.<br><br>
James Baker, one of the earliest white settlers in Oregon, arrived in
the area in 1838 with a cattle drive from California and was soon
farming on land in what is now north Canby. Other settlers arrived,
including Philander and Anna Lee in 1848, who bought "squatters" rights
beside a spring-fed creek on what is now SE First Avenue. Lee began
growing apples on 80 acres of land and shipped them to the gold miners
in California. In 1850, the Lees gained title to their 647 acres through
the Donation Land Claim Act which brought many more settlers over the
Oregon Trial to Baker Prairie and surrounding areas.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 9:07 PM, Marsha BradleyLuthy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:PMML@meritel.net">PMML@meritel.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<pre>I read or-roots with interest quite often, but this is the second time in

The first is Cora McGuire b:Abt 1886 in Wisconsin; d: 16 (Dec?) 1961
Marion County;; and, James A. Baker b: Abt 1888 in Oregon; d: 14 Feb1960
in Multnomah County, Oregon. I believe James & Cora were married. The
location "Russellville, Multnomah County, Oregon comes up in their meager

I would like to use them as training aids that will teach me how to get
