JARED MICHAEL AND DESCENDANTS

Jared MICHAEL, son of Casper MICHAEL and Hannah/Johanna FOX/FUCHS, born 9 Oct 1792, Morgantown, Monongalia Co., WV, died before 1870 Linn Co., Oregon, i unmarked grave Michael Cemetery near Brownsville, Linn Co., Oregon. They lived in Virginia, and emigrated to White Co. Indiana, 1820. Left for Oregon 1846 and overwintered in Missouri. In the spring of 1847, they left on a wagon train with 6 children, some married. The train was co-captained by Alex and William Vaughan. Jared was a farmer and a Methodist. He had Donation land claim #1753 Linn Co., Oregon, S. C. 7 Mar 1849. This claim is about three and one-half miles southwest of Brownsville and is oriented with magnetic north, not true north. Their son John Bennett MICHAEL came to Oregon in 1870 and lived on the claim for about 5 years before selling it. Jared married 23 Dec 1815, Pennsylvania,

Mary KELSO, of pure Scotch blood, probably dau of Joseph KELSO and Elizabeth LAIRD, born 22 Apr 1796, VA, died before 1870 Linn Co., Oregon, i unmarked grave, Michael Cemetery near Brownsville, Linn Co., Oregon. The use of the given name "David Kelso" for children and grandchildren suggests that her father (or grandfather) may have been named David.

*********** FIRST GENERATION DESCENDANTS ***********

Eli Wesley MICHAEL, son of Jared MICHAEL and Mary KELSO, born 2 Jan 1817, (W)VA, died 29 May 1894, Linn Co., Oregon, i Michael Cem. near Brownsville, Linn Co., Oregon, Eli resided in Virginia (now West Virginia), Indiana and moved to Oregon along with his parents and other family members in 1846-47 in a wagon train with Capt William Vaughn and son Alexander Vaughn as co-captains. Eli m1 16 April 1836 Decatur Co., Indiana,

Nancy FRAZIER, born Indiana. When the families started for Oregon in 1847, she is said to have left them along with a James T. MICHAEL, a brother of Eli, and the two younger girls. They reportedly returned to Indiana but they could not be located there in the 1850 Indiana census. However, in the 1850 Federal Census of Kentucky, Graves Co., p 4, sheet 410, res 22, there is a James T. Michael age 31 (1819) with Nancy, age 24 (1826), Malissa, age 5, Samuel, age 6/12, and James Frazier, age 75. Other than the names, only the age of Malissa seems to match the expected for the desired family. The presence of James Frazier also is suggestive. In 1860, there is no Michael but there is in Graves Co., Mayfield P. O., p 148, res 1049 James Mitchell, age 45 (1825), Nancy, age 30 (1830), Melissa Ann, age 16, Samuel J. age 14, and David age 10. Next door is David Frazier, age 50 and Catherine age 53. It certainly seems possible that this is the same Nancy and should be checked further. Eli asked the Oregon legislature for a divorce on 10 Feb 1849 but was refused because the legislature did not feel they had that power. The three older children accompanied Eli to Oregon but are not listed in the 1850 census. One must assume they were either overlooked or were with another family and listed under that surname. Eli married second 27 July 1851 Benton Co., Oregon,

Jane HODGES, dau of Jesse Monroe HODGES and Catherine STANLEY, born 27 July 1827, Shelby Co., Indiana, died 15 Feb 1905, Corvallis, Oregon, i Michael Cem. near Brownsville, Linn Co., Oregon.
