Hi, I found a news item and picture in the Nov. 29th Trinity Journal. How would you like me to send them to you?
Our Museum is run with Volunteers, so a small donation ($3.00) for research and photo copy would help us. Please let me know.

I looked for the son yesterday and no luck. You should try Solano County.Ca. All the newspapers now have websites and the Libraries. Also the Historical societies have websites too. You can find someone over there to lookup for you. I am doing all my family too, so I have a lot of info for research. Good luck.

The only John W.Owen I could find was a John W.Owens B:1831,in Ill. D: 12-20-1867 Weaverville.Ca. Wife names different. Is this any relation? You might try Shasta County,Ca. Shasta County Library, they have a website. I don't know what it is. Trinity Center is far northern Trinity County and back then I think most of their info went to Shasta County. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Hello,

Piety Hill was a mining town in Shasta Co., CA, which is directly east of Trinity County and in the farthest northern point of the Sacramento Valley, at the convergence of the Sierra Nevada Mtns. and the Cascade Range. The name Piety Hill is no longer used and the name of the town has been changed to Igo,CA, which is a very small town in the southwestern part of Shasta Co., CA. Google Igo and you can find a map showing its' location. Hope this helps. From local lore, the town was named after some elderly woman whose home town was Piety Hill, MI, who was a resident in the old mining town.

Sincerely,
David Anderson

I am researching early Fur Trappers prior to the Gold Rush and want to know if the McKay Camp on Canyon Creek of Trinity County was named for Tom McKay of the Hudson Bay Trappers.
I would also like to have names of any early Fur Trappers that came through Shasta, Trinity, Klamath, Siskiyou and Del Norte counties with the Hudson Bay Trappers.

Re: John W Owen

opera70 — 2009-02-25 19:21:18Z

Thanks for clearing that up, obviously I won't find much about him in the Trinity co info. I did try USGS locator for the name Piety hill and it returned Igo, but I wasn't sure if I was on the right track. Now I know.
Thanks again.

Re: John W Owen

opera70 — 2009-02-24 22:45:28Z

Betty; This isn't directly a John Owen question, but since you seem to have some Owen resources I thought I would try you for my query;
Thomas Owens, a pioneer of 1843, was born in Tazewell county, Virginia, January 12, 1808. He died at Piety Hill, California, in 1873, July 23d. Now according to his daughter that is in Trinity Co, but I don't find a piety hill anywhere in California. So first of all is there such a place in Trinity Co and is that where Thomas Was buried.

Re: Obit lookup - Lybolt

northwestpioneer — 2009-04-27 23:09:04Z

Thanks, but as you say I already have the obits. I should have followed up to say I had them. But, there is one more obit for the family I have yet to find, so if you are willing and have the time, would you mind seeing if you can find an obit for the son of George and Maude? His name was William Henry Lybolt and he died on August 29, 1982 in Solano county, CA, but since his family was from Trinity there is a chance there may be an obit in a local paper.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Obit lookup - Lybolt

northwestpioneer — 2008-11-13 21:37:40Z

Would someone please find obituaries for these:

Maude Lybolt - died August 28, 1987

George Lybolt - died March 10, 1974

Thanks

Re: Obit lookup - Lybolt

BH5839 — 2009-02-08 21:50:47Z

I found obits for both people. Please email me privately at bevhall@aol.com if you are interested in receiving photocopies of the obits.

Re: Searching for George W. Robison who lived in South Fork, Trinity, California in 1900.

jogeo231 — 2008-06-01 22:20:07Z

Mavis
I looked at the records and read them, but it didn't have any other family info. I don't think he had any family here, as when he died the court appointed a man by the name of W.B. Testy to sell all his things and property. He died March 7, 1902, notice to creditors on April 3,1902,property sold on Aug. 18,1910. I don't know if this is the one you are looking for? The balance on his estate was giving to the state in the amount of $84.11. Sorry I couldn't find any other info. I looked in the "People files and couldn't him in there either, only the court papers and probate papers from the court house. If this is the one and you would like copies, let me know, and I can give you a price for copying and shipping.

50 Miners-Lewis co. NY to CA, 2 to Trinity Phillips, Rice, more?

scwbcm — 2009-03-24 21:51:32Z

Franklin B. Hough 1860 "A history of the state of Lewis county in the state of New York" page 296 indicates two mining companies The Lewis County Mining Association and the Lewis County Mining Co. sent some 50 men west for goldrush. At the Lewis co. website Lowville news two of these men Phillips and Rice and possibly a third, returned to Lewis county, married and then returned to Trinity, CA. Notice names in regard to Lewiston also, B. F. Lewis, Phillips(I think), and Allen. Other possible miners John Ives,Andrew W. Doig, Caleb Lyon, Seth Miller,Thomas Hoskins, Grace Johnson Foster and Issac Foster, Bradford, Bennett, Houghton,Grant,Doty,Fox,Otis Stanton & Norton.Appreciate any information regarding the above miners, the mining companies, or miners from Lewis county?

Re: Fox Family

scwbcm — 2009-03-24 21:22:00Z

Look at Lewis county New York. A group of about 50 miners left for CA and some went to the Trinity area. I believe someone there is looking for a Fox family. One of my family members also originated in Europe, resided in Lewis Co. and came out west.
