JARED MICHAEL AND DESCENDANTSJared MICHAEL, son of Casper MICHAEL and Hannah/Johanna (FOX/FUCHS) (eb), born 9 Oct 1792 (eb,mc), Morgantown, Monongalia Co., WV (eb), died before 1870 (mc) or 26 Oct 1873 (gp) Linn Co., Oregon, interred in an unmarked grave Michael Cemetery near Brownsville, Linn Co., Oregon (mc). They lived in what was then Virginia but is now West Virginia, and are said to have emigrated to White Co. Indiana, 1820 but apparently he is the Jared who took a land entry to 160 acres meridian 1,T7N R3W sec 12 NE corner 21 Aug 1818 in Manchester Twp., Dearborn Co. A Jared Michael is in Dearborn Co. in the 1820 census. They left for Oregon 1846 and overwintered in Missouri. In the spring of 1847, they left on a wagon train with 6 children, some married. The train was co-captained by Alex and William Vaughan. Jared was a farmer and a Methodist preacher. He reportedly settled near Brownsville 7 Oct 1847 and filed Donation land claim #1753 Linn Co., Oregon, S. C. 7 Mar 1849. This claim is about three and one-half miles southwest of Brownsville and is oriented with magnetic north, not true north. In the 1849 census, J. Mikel has 2 adult males (Jared and Eli?), 3 younger males (Elijah, David, and Jared?) and 4 females (Mary, Mary, Marinda and Jane Hodges?). J. Clark is listed as having 1 adult male (Jason), 2 younger ones (James and David) and 2 females (Anna and Elizabeth). T. Cady has 1 adult male (Thomas) and a female (Elizabeth). Their son John Bennett MICHAEL came to Oregon in 1870 and lived on the claim for about 5 years before selling it (eb). Jared married 23 Dec 1815, Pennsylvania (eb),

Mary KELSO, of pure Scotch blood, probably dau of Joseph KELSO and Elizabeth (LAIRD), born 22 Apr 1796 (eb), VA, died before 1870 Linn Co., Oregon (eb), interred unmarked grave, Michael Cemetery near Brownsville, Linn Co., Oregon (mc). The use of the given name "David Kelso" for children and grandchildren of Mary Kelso suggests that her father or grandfather may have been named David but the available evidence does not support this (cms).
