I’m looking for more information about my GGGreat Grandfather, Preston Findley Logan. He lived in Lakeport in Lake County in the 1870s and then moved to nearby Centerville Village in Capella Twp by 1880. He lived in the boarding houses/homes of the Chapmans and then Henry and Elizabeth Baker. He was a widower, living alone, born in KY ca 1813, working as a carpenter or mechanic.
He presumably moved to the area to be near his son, James Taylor Rogers who operted a law practice in Ukiah for several years. Preston Logan had allowed neighbors in Jackson Co MO to raise and then adopt his youngest son Taylor Logan following his wife’s death shortly after Taylor’s birth. [the boy's adoptive parents changed his name from Taylor Logan to James Taylor Rogers]
His 1st cousin Samuel Hays Hulet Logan also moved to CA from MO. He and his wife Sarah Jane Hopper married in Healdsburg and settled in Calpella Twp by 1880.
By 1886, his son JT Rogers moved to San Francisco where he became the private secretary of Mayor Sutro, was nominated for Congress, and eventually established his own law practice.
I have been unable to figure out what happened to Preston Findly Logan. Did he remain in Lake or Mendocino Co and die there? If so I’ve been unable to find any record. Or, did he move to San Francisco, again following his youngest son, and die there? If so, I’ve been unable to find any record of him there either.
Any information would be most welcome.

Looking for any information on my mother’s family. Her name was Betty Jean Manchester, born February 8, 1926. She was married to a John Keith, and another man with the last name Graves. She married my father, Clyde Taylor, in 1959.
Her father was Mariner Goodwin Manchester, and her mother was Jessie May Marsh, and later Jessie May changed her name to Gay Wilson. Brothers were Lake Marion Manchester, and Mariner Goodwin Manchester Jr. Sister was Bonnie Jo and we think Bonnie’s husband’s name was Tom Ford.

I am searching for information on the John Lee Jackson
family. The 1880 Census places him and his family in Lake Co.
John Lee Jackson was born in London, KY, on 13 Sep 1835 and
died on 12 Jul 1916.
Eliza Brown (wife) b. 17 Oct 1846 in Junior Furnace, OH
Nellie M. Jackson b. About 1864
Hattie A. Jackson b. About 1866
Wallie B. Jackson b. About 1866
Harry L. Jackson b. About 1868
John S. Jackson b. About 1870
Mary L. Jackson b. About 1872
Katheryn May Jackson b. 23 Oct 1876
Our family line goes back through Katheryn May Jackson, but I
am looking for information about John S. Jackson, also known
as Stonewall Jackson (not the Civil War general!) and was
suspected to be a gang member and subsequently hanged on July
4th, around 1890 or 1891. Is there a connection between this
Jackson family and that of Gen. Stonewall Jackson of West
Virginia?
Please contact Christy Straub at sncstraub@yahoo.com if you

My great aunt, Winnifred Nicholson left some newspaper
clippings of family events. One of them says:
JOHNSON - Upper Lake, California on the 7th inst., Mary Emily,
wife of A. W. Johnson and daughter of W.H. Renwick, Bewick
Road, Gateshead. It was dated June 7th
1896. I believe A.W. stood for Alfred William and
W.H. for William Henry. This would have been clipped from one
of the local papers but I am not sure which one.
Looking at your births list they seem to have had a male child born 14 July 1894. From the limited research I have done Alfred William Johnson seems to have previously married Mary Emily Renwick's older sister Eleanor Ward Renwick so there may be other relatives in the Upper Lake area.
I am related to the Renwick family line and I would be interested to know if anyone else knows anything else about these people.

George Ottis HALL. We are attempting to gather whatever
information we can about him. My mother, who is now 83, is his
only child as far as we know. George passed away in 1982 after
living in Clear Lake for around 20 years. We think he ran a
motel and may have been connected with the fire department to
some extent. He is buried in the Lower Lake cemetery in the
veterans addition, so he was in the military at some point.

His wife's maiden name was Greeves (I have also seen Gleaves and Greaves). He was my great grandfather and I think he was born in 1877 in CA, but I don't know the town.

They eventually settled in the Mark West Springs Area, Sonoma Co. Mary died 1902. Several other children are listed in the census: Lena C, John F., Cynthia C., Thomas J., Alex.
Any information would be appreciated.

I am interested in finding out more about the READ family and
the DAVIS family of Middletown. I have it recorded that Joseph
Lilburn Read married Margaret Davis in Lake County in 1860 and
returned to Middletown to live in 1874. Joseph was one of my
Grandmother's Grandfathers. I would like to hear any stories
of the family's history. I have a particular interest in
finding out what happened to Janie Davis after reading an
album of hers from 1886-1889 while she attended a college in
Napa. Many members of both of these families attended this
same college, as recorded in the album. (Many entries included
home town names.) I believe Janie could have been Margaret
Davis' sister or niece. She would have been about 17 years old
in 1886. -Janet Farahmand Please forward information to me at:
(jbrady@softcom.net)
ANSWER - Your email
doesn't work, so I am posting the answer that was forwarded to
me (also see the Biography page)
They had 12 children, the following list are the only ones known to have lived to adulthood:
You must be a descendant of Albert or Warren in the same generation as my mother. We would like information on which you are related. I have more information on the Read and Davis lines if you want.
I have photos of the "Read Home" with many of the Reads, including Thomas "Albert" and Warren. My grandmother is quite interested in whom you are related to. The home is still standing in Middletown and the owners let my grandmother see it.
(Webmaster: I have since found a new email address for Janet Farahmand and changed it. )
My grandfather and his parents lived in the Clear Lake area.
They originally came from Belgium. His parents died there in a
prairie fire approximately in 1888. My grandfather's name was
Numa Hagon, but I believe that he changed the family name, as
an adult as many foreigners did after immigrating. A picture I
have of my great-grandfather states F. Levaque as the family
name and would be the name listed in the Clear Lake area.
Anyone out there have any history information? What is the
name of the cemetery there that might have people who died at
that time. Thank you. Lorraine
