Am searching for the names of my great grandparents who were supposedly murdered by the chinese in the Morman Basin, which I understand is in Malhuer County. Am unable to find any reference to this mining community or this Chines uprising, let alone the Steadman/Stedman name. Also I don't have dates, but would guess it to be between 1880 and 1900.

Family story has it that Mr. Steadman was mining and Mrs. Steadman was cooking for the miners. They left their son Derk Henry (my grandfather) with neighbors of their ranch in the Sumpter Valley while they spent the summer at Morman Basin.

Does anyone know anything about this incident? Is there some place on the Web that I can find it?

Thanks
