FRIEND |
I've found in
the 1900 and 1910, one Thomas A.
Friend who lived in "South Fork" or
"Hayfork" respectively to the census
years. Could this be any relation to
the local "Friend Mountain" north of
Hayfork, California? |

FRIEND |
I'm searching
for any historical, or perhap, Friend
family ties to the "Friend Mountain"
located north of Hayfork, California.
I learned that the mountain is
actually a private property, but I
could never find out who owned it.
Does anyone know about this location?

WILBURN |
We are looking
for any relatives in the Willburn/Wilburn
family - descendents of James St.Clair
Wilburn who migrated there in 1849 at
the age of 19 from Texas. He was the
oldest of 11 children and his parents
migrated there in 1880. His father,
Edward "Ned" Willburn, died in a cabin
fire in 1885. The story of James
St.Clair fighting a bear and losing an
arm in the battle while killing the
bear has been handed down for
generations. We are looking for the
burial plot. |

DIDEON
MILLER |
My gggg uncle,
Jacob "Jake" B. Gideon,
was born September 13, 1828 at
Millerstown, Champaign County, Ohio,
son of George Gideon and Elizabeth Miller Gideon.
He traveled to California and became a
'49er. He was part of a group of gold
miners on the East Fork of the North
Fork of the Trinity River near
Weaverville, Trinity County,
California entering into a mining
agreement in 1852. The Gideon family
in Clinton, Illinois had not heard
from Jacob B. Gideon for over 40 years
and Jacob Gideon was declared legally
dead in June 1909.
I am keenly interested in learning
what became of my uncle Jacob Gideon,
whether he remained on in Weaverville,
perhaps died and was buried there, or
perhaps moved on? Any help that you or
visitors to the Trinity County GenWeb
website could provide to help learn
more about Jacob Gideon or what became
of him would be greatly appreciated.
Again, many thanks. |

REESE |
I am just
inquiring after any information about
my family. My grandfather, Thomas E. Reese, lived
on Deer Lick Springs, in Trinity
County. I believe he lived to be 102
yrs old. I was too young to understand
the importance of this and the wealth
of knowledge and/or experience he had
in life going literally from horse
& buggy, to automobile, to man on
the moon; quite amazing. I would love
to know more about him and his family,
some whom I know still reside there. |
