During the last couple or three months Mr. Wm. Griffin has been bringing his pencil and note book into use; and as a result he has made the discovery that there are now living in Jackson county just 134 of the early-day settlers, all of whom came to this county prior to 1857. Believing that many of our readers would be pleased to read over the names of those who were the early supports which settled and built up this part of the great Rogue river valley, and whose progeny are today the life and sinew of our wondrous country of value, we give their names and dates of birth below: Anderson, Q N, April 17, 1818 Anderson, E K, Dec 2, 1826 Anderson, E N, Oct 30, 1831 Adams, J L, Dec 13, 1832 Alison, H, July 28, 1828 Ashmead, M, July 24, 1824 Applegate, E L, April 8, 1834 Beekman, C C, Jan 24, 1828 Bishop, W G, July 26, 1831 Barneburg, F, Jan 17, 1836 Britt, P, Mch 11, 1819 Brooks, E C, Sept 16, 1821 Barksdull, C H, Dec 21, 1820 Bellinger, Merritt, Feb 2, 1833 Bybee, Wm S, Mch 15, 1820 Beall, Vincent, June 13, 1831 Barnes, D P, Mch 4, 1824 Collins, Thos, Mch 1, 1846 Coleman, M H, Feb 19, 1826 Crain, J A, May 14, 1831 Cary, Robt, Feb 3, 1829 Cook, R A, May 31, 1833 Curry, Thos, Dec 25, 1833 Caton, M, Jan 27, 1826 Cuttle, J H, Oct 21, 1820 Cadby, H, Aug 2, 1804 Cain, C, Dec 24, 1828 Cameron, Tod, June 21, 1829 Coleman, J, Jan 2, 1824 Dunlap, R S, Oct 8, 1821 Donigan, P, May 16, 1822 Doherty, Jas, Nov 1, 1823 Dunn, P, Mch 24, 1824 Drum, Jas, Nov 1, 1823 Day, Silas J, April 3, 1826 Davison, Jeptha, June 18, 1835 Foudray, E D, Jan 8, 1821 Fisher, Dan'l, Dec 1, 1817 Fryer, J J, Oct 19, 1831 Griffin, John B, Sept 14, 1853 Gibson, T H, Mch 29, 1829 Gall, L F, Oct 20, 1827 Griffin, W M, Feb 2, 1830 Gall, W S, Aug 11, 1835 Gibson, Mary, May 14, 1839 Hoges, C, Dec 21, 1829 Hoges, R E, Jan 24, 1839 Hardis, J R, April 18, 1854 Huffer, M, Aug 12, 1834 Hank, Silas, Sept 12, 1819 Huggins, Jessie, March 10, 1831 Hinkle, Riley, Oct 1, 1831 Haymend, B, May 27, 1829 Helms, H, Aug 18, 1832 Hoxie, C H, Dec 22, 1836 Hurd, Jas, June 4, 1830 Hurst, Margaret F, March 31, 1843 Ivory, P, March 17, 1819 Isaacs, G W, Jany 12, 1831 Jordan, Jas, April 20, 1831 Joncs, S P, May 22, 1833 Jacobs, A S, Oct 3, 1833 Kentnor, W W, Nov 27, 1828 Kentnor, S A, Oct 6, 1845 Kincaid, W B, Aug 15, 1825 Kincaid, J J, Feb 20, 1827 Klippel, H, Dec 11, 1833 Kubli, K, Aug 1, 1830 Kahler, C W, Nov 4, 1840 Lame, J H, May 24, 1824 Linn, D, Oct 28, 1826 Lindley, Milton, Aug 14, 1825 Linkswiler, T L, Sept 7, 1854 Leslie, J, Sept 1, 1800 Langell, N, June 6, 1831 Letshan, T, Aug 1, 1835 Logg, Frank, July 14, 1828 Lacy, John, July 24, 1823 Loten, J C, May 16, 1831 Mathis, W M, Nov. 9, 1829 Miller, E M, July 27, 1833 Myres, B F, Aug 18, 1821 McDonough, Jas, June 8, 1824 Mills, John W, Jan 8, 1836 Maurry, R F, May 23, 1821 Mortenson, J W, Feb 18, 1832 Mingus, Conrad, May 6, 1822 Muller, Max, May 20, 1836 McRay, J W, Feb. 18, 1832 McCulley, Jane, March 31, 1824 McAndrews, Thos, Nov 2, 1829 McDonnell, J N, May 24, 1828 McCowl, J M, Jan 15, 1825 Neil, J R, Feb 28, 1841 Neil, R P, April 12, 1847 Nye, Chauncy, May 18, 1826 Naylor, Granville, Feb 16, 1822 Neil, C, March 1, 1821 Penegar, David, Sept 5, 1837 Plymale, F M, March 17, 1833 Pense, Jacob, Jan 28, 1826 Plymale, W J, Feb. 9, 1827 Parker, W H, July 18, 1845 Prim, P P, May 2, 1822 Pickel, Francis, Nov. 22, 1824 Payne, C T, Dec 5, 1831 Ramsdale, John, May 22, 1822 Reames, Thos G, Dec 15, 1839 Riggs, Michael, Sept 13, 1824 Riggs, Mary, Oct 29, 1834 Richardson, Jessie, Aug 12, 1834 Reid, C B, Sept 8, 1821 Simpson, J W, Aug 26, 1827 Simpson, B, Dec 25, 1829 Skeeters, Isaac, Dec 19, 1823 Skeeters, Grace J, Aug 27, 1839 Schultz, Chas, March 26, 1830 Satterfield, John, July 4, 1828 Sisemore, John, Dec 14, 1835 Sears, Granville, April 28, 1826 Thornton, J, Dec 1, 1826 Taylor, M A, April 29, 1830 Town, Frank, March 14, 1831 Taylor, S R, Feb 15, 1828 True, J P, Dec 12, 1832 Weiss, John, June 24, 1819 Wagoner, Jacob, Sept 26, 1820 Wright, Thos, Oct 29, 1829 Wilson, W M, June 20, 1822 Wrisley, J B, Aug 16, 1819 Walker, E F, Jan 18, 1814 Woody, J N, April 29, 1830 Young, N, April 24, 1824
