I know that Oregon wasn't a state until 1859. Let me try that again.

I know that my gr gr grandfather Nineveh Ford was a member of the
Oregon TERRITORY House of Representatives in 1854/55 because I have a
copy of the warrant requesting that he be paid for that service.
It is also a receipt (with his signature), and he was paid $186.00
for service from December 4, 1954 through February 1, 1955 @ $3/day
plus milage for 40 miles traveled; paid Februry 1, 1855.

Does anyone out there know where the early politicians of the Oregon
TERRITORY might be listed?
