Linda, You can send me your address via email if you would like me to send a copy of the article. My grandfather copied the article word or word because they wouldn't let him make a photocopy from this book! Melissa

Hello, just curious. Are all the Frizzells and Gribbles then out of Colorado? Ezekiel Gribble never married Nancy Cowan, my gggggrandmother on my grandmother's side, but did sign a note of bastardy in the Archieves of Raleigh, NC for son Burdett Cowan. Ezekiel's sister, Peggy, also married Jason Frizzell and had a daughter Margaret who married Solomon Frady, who would be my ggggrandfather on my grandfather's side. I lived in Colorado for 20 some years and did not realize some of my mom's relatives lived there.

Re: Oregon Gribbles-about Joseph's son, William, of Mount Hood, Oregon
Melissa, Are you still out there? I am looking for history on the Gribbles, as I purchased a 1901 farm house and have refurbished it and am turning it into an Inn. According to the mapping archives, it was owned by DRCooper, but a section went to EWGribble who married Cooper's daughter Christina in 1900. I am looking to see if anyone has a photo of that house as it was in the early years, or any additional history. Thanks! Libby

More on the same John Gribble
John Gribble was a farmer and wagon maker. He decided to move west and did so over several years, He arrived in Oregon Territory in 1846 staying at Eagle Creek area untill the following year 1847 when he obtained a donation land claim at Macksburg. he and his wife had 11 children 8 reached maturity.
John G. Gribble, the father of Samuel O., was born on the line between North and South Carolina in 1799, the cabin in which his people lived being half in one state, and half in the other. He was a farmer and wagon maker in the south, and removed from his native states to Missouri in 1833. In Johnson county he engaged in general farming and worked at his trade until 1846, and in the meantime had worked up a great deal of enthusiasm over the west. Accordingly he made preparations to cross the plains with oxteams, his departure from Missouri taking place in May, and he arrived in Oregon October 12 of the same year. He spent the winter on Eagle creek, east of Oregon City, and in 1847 took up a donation claim of six hundred and forty acres near Macksburg, where he lived until his death, June 3, 1869. He was well and very favorably known in his neighborhood, and conducted his farm in such manner as to win a competence for himself and family. He was buried in Gribble cemetery, named for him in honor of his admirable pioneer services.

I would very much be interested in your new article. I am a descendent of John Gribble's brother Thomas Gribble who stayed in Missouri while John proceeded to Oregon.
