Well I do believe it is kind of famous. Drenched in Oregon history. It is Just off Mckinney Mountain. Named after the Origional homesteaders in the area. Parrish gap runs from salem to Jefferson. I also know you will find another family runs into parrish gap is Hunsaker RD. Midway between the two. You will find Parrish burried in the Jefferson cemetery. In the 1910 cencus you will find Parrish in the Albany area as well. At the end of the Hunsaker Rd where it intersects with Parrish gap you</div><div>will find a very old cemetery Hunsaker cemetery. Just off Parrish gap you will find a very old cemetery not to far from the school just behind a farm. Years ago took copies of the jefferson cemetery residece would be willing to do a look up. <br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Feb 23, 2014, at 7:25 PM, Linda Wiley <<a href="mailto:oregontrail1851@yahoo.com">oregontrail1851@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div><span>Dan, Parrish Gap, the road is near Turner. If you bring a map up of Jefferson, enlarge it so you can see detail, and go to the north side of town you will find Jefferson-Marion Road to the east. a few miles down that road Parrish Gap comes in from the north. It is a rural two lane road--probably carried more traffic before I-5 freeway went in, but it twists and turns through farm country. It's in Marion County. No website--nothing famous about it. "Oregon Geographic Names" by McArthur, the Oregon "Bible" of information on places, only gives it two sentences: "This gap is in the hills about a mile northeast of Marion, It was named after E.E. Parrish on whose donation land claim the gap is situated." It is just a lower place with hills on both sides. These hills rise up from
what has been relatively flat land from the south. <br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span></span><br></div><div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Dan M <<a href="mailto:mygen2@d-matney.com">mygen2@d-matney.com</a>><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> or-roots mail list <<a href="mailto:or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us">or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us</a>> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, February 23, 2014 6:11 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [or-roots] Parrish Gap road<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container"><br><div id="yiv2689378031">

and other mentions about Benton CO, If the rd is near Turner, which rd is about
the Gap and is there a website just on that fact?</font></div>
