Looking for any family, or researcher of the Hogue or Chaffin family who would recognize
any of this info.
I'm specifically looking for more information about Lorah, and any possible
descendants.
Lorah Hogue married John W. Chaffin
marriage date, I'm guessing between 1910 and 1930 at the latest.
I believe Lorah was born in the 1890s. She passed on in the 1979, in California.
Her father was William Orsen Hogue, son of William Franklin Hogue. I'm still searching
for the mother, but her given name I think was Mina or possibly Minerva.
William Orsen was born in Cascade, Wisconsin, he later lived in Illinois, Wyoming, and
York, Nebraska. Most of his siblings remained in Illinois.
Lorah published a book, Sons of the West, in 1941: A biographical account of early day
Wyoming.
If anyone can relate to this, please contact me.
