Seeking descentdants of Cyrus Warren

pjacroux — 17 May 2008 7:00:45 GMT

I am seeking information about the descendants of Cyrus Warren who migrated to Southeast Washington in the 1870’s.

Cyrus married Emeline/Amelia/Emily Hartung, a native of Germany in 1845.

He had a daughter, Julia Abigail, born c.1846 in Ohio. All his other children were born in Lawrence County, Missouri.

In the 1870’s his sons Jason and John Cyrus migrated to Asotin County, Washington. Daughters Ida Jane, Amanda Lois, and Elvira apparently came with them. The mother, Amelia, followed but Cyrus stayed in Missouri and is buried there.

Jason stayed in Asotin County for some time and then moved to Gridley, California.

John Cyrus is buried in Dixie, Walla Walla County, Washington.

Amelia is buried in Peola, Garfield County, Washington

Ida Jane is buried in Idaho.

Amanda is buried in Clarkston, Asotin County, Washington.

Elvira is buried in Spokane, Washington

Emma is buried in Kalispell, Montana.

Any information regarding this Warren line would be greatly appreciated.

Scoggin Family

lindakhenson — 20 May 2005 3:56:42 GMT

I have just traced my grandfathers 2nd wife back to a scoggin family in Garfield. Her name was Stella Irene and she was the daughter of Jasper M. and Nellie Scoggin. Stella married a man with the last name of "Davidson" around 1920 and had two sons (Lawrence and Kenneth). Later she married my grandfather William Grover Cleveland Mullins. She is shown with him in the 1930 Asotin County WA census with her sons. I don't know what happened to her but my grandfather adopted her boys and married my grandmother (the boys always had the name of Davidson so it may not have been an adoption)
Anyway I have a ton of pictures of Stella Irene Scoggins and her sons and I would like to share information with anyone knowing anything about the Scoggin family or Davidson family.

August Peterson

caryarjr — 24 Sep 2002 4:05:28 GMT

Hello, I am looking for the family of an August Peterson of Pomeroy, WA. August was from there, not sure if he was born there. He was in Riverside California by 1921 when he married my great great grandmother Selma Charlotta Svenson Nelson PETERSON. Selma was widowed and this was her second marriage.

I have no information on August other than his marriage date of April 22, 1921 and his death date of January 5, 1925. He, according to the family bible is buried in Pomeroy. Any help would be appreciated.

There is a possibility that he is Swedish.

Harvey Edgar "Richard""Dick" Wright 1868-1939 came to Garfield county between 1907 and the 1910 census with his wife Julia Augusta Ivey 1875-1948. His children were Alta May Wright 1895 Ezra W Wright 1894 Finnis F Wright 1898 Nettie F Wright 1901 Grace Lea Wright 1904 Ella L Wright 1907 Emma Wright 1907 (twin) Thelma A "Pat" Wright 1911 Lois P Wright 1914 and Cora Elizabeth Wright 1915.

Mary Otis (Fowler) Harbin (1849-1926) came to Garfield county between 1902 and 1915 with her three sons Thomas Douglas Fawcett 1868-1933 William Henry "Harry" Fawcett 1866-1946 and Joseph Kennedy Fawcett 1869-? (the youngest, Joseph is believed to have died in Pomeroy about 1900?). Mary Otis also had a son from her second marriage Frederick W Suhrbier who may have been under the name Fred Webb 1876-1942 who may have come with them. She ALSO had two children from her THIRD marriage Emma G Webb (1882-1941) and Robert W Webb (1886-1931) who may have come with them as well. Mary Otis was married a FOURTH time to a Mr Harbin while still in California and was under this name when the family moved to Pomeroy.

Thomas Douglas Fawcett married Alta May Wright 25 Nov 1915 in Pomeroy, Garfield Co, Washington. While this couple were living in Pomeroy they had three children Joseph Orlin Fawcett (1916-1985); Mary Opal Fawcett (1918-1984); Thomas Edgar Fawcett (1921-1999) and then they moved to Kelso for a short while where they had their last child Elizabeth Marie Fawcett (1926-2000).
