Ernest
Frederick Meissner (1859 - 1940) brother of Adolph:
married Martha Bradshaw at Beaver UT in 1883. They had 8 children who
survived beyond infancy: Ernest Richard, Frederick, George, Frank, Eva (Lefferson), Nellie (Rose), Martha (Bucknum),
and Lena (Stapleton ...)
I’ve only just
begun documenting Ernest and his descendants - there’ll be more later.

Three Oleman brothers - Charles, John, and Henry - settled in
Oregon about 1890.
Ernest
Meissner moved to the same area about 1914, and his nephew (Adam) Joe
Meissner visited Ernest a few years later. Two connections resulted,
between Meissner family members and children of Henry Oleman.
Mildred, the
youngest daughter of Charles Oleman, wrote down
some recollections about her family, just before she died in 1990. These
were preserved by Ardeth McBride and are
transcribed here.

New information about Loretta’s
ancestors:
The
mother of William Brey (Bray) was probably Lovina Vanderpool, daughter
of Anthony Vanderpool (son of immigrants from the
Netherlands) and of Elizabeth Johnson (of Oneida Indian descent). Still
nothing more about William Brey’s father, the
“Mysterious Red-Haired Irishman.”

Thomas Henry
Tregoning was an uncle of Grace T Tregoning who married Willard Scott Chaddock. Willard was a nephew of Samantha Andrus
(g-grandmother of Manly), and Grace was a stepdaughter of James Reed (uncle
of Hazel). Thomas Henry was involved in a tragic incident in Colorado in
1873, and apparently died during his attempt to flee to Canada to escape
murder charges. (Added 2004).
