I'm trying to sort out a mystery in Oregon, regarding EGLIN and FERGUSON and one other
name (HASKELL) that is somehow connected.
Marcia indicates that Margaret Dolson EGLIN died in 1862 but that is the same year that
her husband Cornelius died and is buried in Porter county, Indiana.
There was a marriage in Benton county, Oregon, 18 Oct 1875 for Margaret A. HASKELL to
William F. DIXON. Present at the wedding were William FERGUSON and Margaret Ann (EGLIN)
FERGUSON.
The 1880 census in Corvallis, Benton county, Oregon, has
DIXON, M. A., 70, Mo-in-law, NY, living with the Fergusons (her daughter and son-in-law)
I believe the Margaret A.HASKELL is Margaret A. DOLSON but is only my speculation.
I'm not related to this family in any way, but we are trying to make complete name
associations in our Benton county pioneer database.
I'd welcome any input,
