    Notes:

    Harry Charles Gregory is my grandfather. My grandmother (his wife) told me that when she was a young adult she traveled from Ohio, where she was born, to California for a summer of visiting her cousin in Bakersfield and site seeing around the state by train. She went to Yosemite, San Francisco, Sequoia National Park, San Diego, and many other places. Her cousin had a boyfriend who worked in the oil fields in Taft. She showed my grandmother a picture of her boyfriend that was taken in an oil field with some of his friends. My grandmother became smitten with one of the other guys in the photo and wanted to meet him. They met and it was love at first sight, they were both smitten. Before the end of the summer, they had already decided they were going to get married. But my grandmother had promised her aunt, who was rising her, that she would return to Ohio and finish her last year at college. My grandmother honored her promise and returned to school. She graduated the next year from (Case) Western Reserve with a degree in biology. As soon as graduation was over, she was back on the train for California, and she and my grandfather got married. I have seen a picture of my grandmother

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • _UID: 140D0692E5B041E1B96DD2CF0AFB5255E34C

    Notes:

    The family is in the 1870 Platte Co census showing Elizabeth as being born March 1870 and in 1880 Buchanan, Elizabeth is shown as a 10 year old. Elizabeth is then in the 1910, 1920, 1930 census of Kern Co, Calif. Have not been able to determine when or where she married (Unknown) Gregory but she married Herbert Elias Myers, 15 Sept 1909 in Kern Co, CA. - Marriage record #240 & 320 Kern Co.

    According to my father, she and her family traveled to California in a covered wagon. They arrived in Los Angeles and parked the wagon on Figueroa Street, which at that time was at the edge of town. They stayed there for a time and then decided to move up the coast. They got stuck in various places along the way and had to wait for low tide before proceeding. They ended up in Bakersfield. It seems Elizabeth was quite the maverick as she had several children out of wedlock.

    It is clear from the dates that Jessie could not have been William
