During her retirement, Mabel Bridges (4/6/1891 - 4/18/1976), using a card file, gathered notes on the earliest of the pioneers in Fremont county. I'm copying the following from Mabel's notes:

1.--1840's: Set out the second orchard in Fremont county.--Lingenfelter, page 7.

N.B.: Notice the sizeable orchard that Tilden Buckham set out in 1852, as described in his biography. (Use SEARCH to find this.--W.F.)

2.--1852: Fremont county Census: "Madison township"

H.W. English.....1 m....1 f

3.--1853 Land entries for Harvey W. English:
(a).--July 11, 1853: the west half of the northeast quarter, and the northwest quarter, all of section 17 township 67 range 41.
