bullet  General Notes

Jackson and John Powell came across the Oregon Trail in 1847. Jackson and brother John ended up in Sandy precinct, what is now Troutdale, Multnomah co., OR where they spent the rolling logs from the mouth of the Sandy to the Government sawmill at Vancouver, WA., then part of Oregon Territory.

Jackson Powell joined the 49ers in the California Gold Rush, remaining there two years before returning to the area where in 1852 he staked one of the first claims in the Gresham area. He married Nancy Pugh in 1852, almost simultaneously with his 320-acre land claim. Because of the marriage Jackson was able to double his claim size. His brother James, and his wife Eliza, (sister to Nancy Pugh) settled nearby.
The marriage of the two brothers to two sisters on more than 600 acres in what is now Gresham, Multnomah county, OR resulted in 15 children from the 2 families, all double first cousins.
