Notes on the Stokes, Brown, and Smith pioneer land claims

Description

Answers from Ernest Clark Brown in response to questions from his sister, Liberta Brown. He discusses the locations, boundaries, and dates of the Stokes, Orus Brown, and A.T. Smith land claims in Forest Grove, Oregon. The notes include a basic hand-drawn map of the claims. Ernest also discusses how during the California Gold Rush, his father and someone named 'Inyart' went to Astoria to mill lumber.
Ernest was born in 1861. He and Liberta were the great-grandchildren of Tabitha Moffatt Brown, who helped found Tualatin Academy and is known as the 'Mother of Oregon.'
