I recently acquired an 1881 (Old)Farmer's Almanack, found in Hillsboro Oregon, with handwritten notations. I am uncertain of the author of the notations, although incidential references indicate children/family members names may include: Char (Charla or Charles)& Maria (January 9, 1849), Perley (May 22, 1873), Carrie (April 17, 1875), Florence (April 25, 1880), Herbert (October 6, 1879), Helen, Rob (October 20), Kendall, Chas (December 7)& Sarah.

There are direct references to Clinton & DeWitt. The locations for others mentioned are unknown.

Hopefully this information will benefit someone!
