I am researching James BUZBY and Dana Porter who resided near Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island. Buzby arrived 1853 from NJ via Illinois. His daughter married Dana PORTER of Port Gamble who arrived from Wicassett, Maine. James BUZBY represented the island in the territorial legislature when the territory recommended the acquisition of Alaska. The family moved to Seattle and the son of James BUZBY, Issac BUZBY, was listed as a volunteer firemen at the time of the Seattle Fire in 1889. These families are listed in Kellogg's book. Any other information would be appreciated.

Clarise was born in 1860 possibly in Ohio.  She later moved with her family to Portland, Oregon.  After her first husband deserted her she moved to Seattle and then to Port Townsend where she gave birth to Margaret in c. 1889  Clarise may have  been buried in Island Co in 1923.

Looking for information on William D. McCABE b. Ripley Co., Ind in 1847. He and his mother and father (Alexander and Rodah KNAPP McCABE), and a brother Perry Hill McCABE came west after 1860. Perry H. Died in Polk Co., Ore in 1903. I know by old genealogy that William died in N.W. Wa., and he had at least 2 children Ivy Pearl and Ed. Perry was 7 years older than William so he may have died earlier than 1903 or later. Can anyone be of assistance? I realize I have very little info but I am hoping someone will help.Perry left an estate in Ore., so William probably did also. Is there a database online? Thanks for you time.
