Hello Anita,
I decided to spend part of the day contemplating this issue of the Henry T Propst/Louisa Elizabeth Moore marriage record.
I bought a book from the Linn Genealogical Library of marriages in the county from abt 1870-abt 1881.This had both my g grandparents marriage in 1870 and the Henry Propst marriage in 1880.
There is a person named John Henry Propst who often gets confused with Henry Taylor Propst.John Henry Propst went by the name of Henry and we see his name on plat maps of Linn County and accidentally think it is Henry Taylor Propst.In my Powell Family History book on page 140, it has John Henry Propst: "Henry married Elizabeth Moore in 1880 (?).They were married by Alfred Powell at his residence in Albany.They [John Henry Propst and Elizabeth] lived several years on the old home place, but now reside in Denver, Colorado [1922]."
Sooo it appears that we have confused John Henry Propst (1858-1927) with Henry Taylor Propst(1849-1930) yet again!It is unfortunate that the Linn County marriage entry was written the way it was.
Some of John Henry Propst children settled in Grandview WA and Prosser WA.That is probably where you got the pictures.
The lineage of John Henry Propst:
John Henry Propst born 8-5-1858 in Oregon died June 15, 1927, place unknown but buried in Central Cemetery in Linn County, OR.
Parents were: Franklin Propst born April 10, 1832 Fayette County (W)Virginia died March 29, 1917 Linn County OR buried in Central Cemetery.Married Mary Powell June 18, 1855 Linn Co OR born October 18, 1838 in Illinois died December 18, 1914 Linn County OR also buried in Central Cemetery.
I have more lineage if you want it.
Please let me know how you are related to the Propst family.
Lori
