extra mileage by posting them here.  

Please let me know if you have any information or have suggestions
on research methods or sources.  Thanks.

Seeking any info. about John CRITESER b. 1815.  Married Elizabeth
GOUGE/GAUDGE 27 Dec 1836 in Boone Co. IN.  They migrated to OR from
Lucas Co. Iowa in 1863.  Resided in Roseburg (Deer Creek precinct) in
1870.  Ch.: Thomas Jefferson b. 1845 IN, and John William b. 1848 IN.  
Other ch. might be Francis Marion b. 1840 and Mary b. 1841.  John is
listed as living with both son Thomas in Josephine county and son 
John William in Coos county in the 1880 census.  When and where did
John die?  Where is John burried?  Who are John's parents and siblings? 

Seeking any info. about  John CRITESER's spouse Elizabeth
GOUGE/GAUDGE b. 12 Sep 1814  KY d. 12 Jun 1875 Roseburg, OR. such as
nickname, description, brothers, sisters and parents.  Elizabeth is
buried in Roseburg Memorial Gardens, Roseburg, OR.  

Seeking any info. about Mary CRITESER, b. c. 1841,    According to a
1925 newspaper obituary for her brother Thomas Jefferson CRITESER,
Mary lived in Coos Co. OR.  Where in Coos Co. did she reside?  What
is the name of Mary's husband?

Polly SULLIVAN is buried in the old Masonic section of Roseburg
Memorial Gardens, Roseburg, OR.  No headstone or date, but a sexton's
note in the DAR cemetary survey is "Polly SULLIVAN, great aunt of
Mrs. James A. COBB".  Exactly how is Polly  related to Lyllian
CRITESER COBB? In other words, is she a maternal or paternal great
aunt?  What is Polly's maiden name?  Is Polly's maiden name JONES,
GOUGE, CRITESER or a surname completely different?  What is her
husbands given name? When did Polly die?  How old was Polly when she
died?  Seeking to exch. info. with desc. of Polly SULLIVAN.

Seeking any and all info. and anecdotes regarding the couple John
CRITESER and Elizabeth GOUGE.  Desire to contact desc. of John and
Elizabeth.  Some related lines include: JONES (Isaac and Ann), and
LASWELL.  

Thomas Jefferson CRITESER and Francis Marion CRITESER were believed
to be brothers.  But, new research suggests this is not to be the case. 
The father and mother of Thomas Jefferson CRITESER are John CRITESER 
and Elizabeth GOUGE/GAUDGE.  The new contradictory information based 
on a death certificate suggests the father and mother of Francis Marion
CRITESER to be Isaac CRITESER and Rachel WEBB.   Isaac and Rachel
were married in Decatur Co. IN in 1831.  Yet, Francis Marion CRITESER
and his wife Mary SPRAY were known to be referred to as uncle Frank
and aunt Mary by some children and grandchildren of Thomas Jefferson
CRITESER.  Francis and Mary were married in Lyonsville, MO in 1859.
They Migrated from Lucas Co. IA to OR in 1863.  Francis and Mary
were known to have resided in Roseburg  and then Portland, OR.  They
may have resided in the Eugene OR area too.  In conclusion, seeking
the exact relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Francis Marion
and any supporting or new information regarding the ancestry of
Francis Marion CRITESER. 

I have a few old unidentified photographs.  Some individuals must be
ch. of Francis Marion CRITESER and Mary SPRAY.  Others must be desc.
of Isaac JONES and Ann GOUGE. Seek to exch. photos and info. with
desc. of Isaac and Ann JONES and desc. of Francis Marion and Mary
CRITESER.

Seeking absolutely any info. for Wilson CAIN (b. MO);  Wilson married
Mary Ellen ALDRICH (b. 1861 CA).  Children: Nettie, Minnetta, Grace.
Where did Wilson die?  When did Wilson die?  Mary was a Douglas Co.
OR and Curry Co. OR resident from at least 1896 to 1934. Mary married
Walter A. CRITESER in Roseburg, OR 1896.
