Carole:

>>>I have been unable to find the name of Anna Cora Mendenhall
St. Helen under either name in the Indiana Quaker records so I don't
know if she was disowned or not. I haven't seen any records for
Oregon, but it's been a while since I've looked. There may be more
available now. She and her new husband did travel with a whole
train full of Quakers when they came to Oregon in about 1883.<<<

Have you tried at George Fox University, Newberg, Oregon?
This Quaker college, south of Portland, is where my Oregon
Quaker Friends refer me too.

My Elvira (Mendenhall) Moore was no longer a Quaker -- jas, disowned,
when she was first married in Indiana. She migrated first to Iowa and
then
as a widow to out from The Dalles, Oregon in what became the
wheatlands.
I grew-up on her homestead, but left Oregon with a college transfer from
UO.
