PETTIBONE, Charles John
PETTIBONE- My Grandfather Charles John Pettibone was the
Manager of the Hines Lumber mill (1930's). It is rumored
Pettibone hill was named after my Grandfather. The 1940 USA
census will verify this information. Contact: Diane jdmaraccini@yahoo.com

GRIFFIN FAMILY
I'm looking for information on the GRIFFIN Family. My Dad
was born in Burns, Oregon. He had 2 brothers, and 2 sisters.
I would appreciate any help I can get or anyone who might
have known him or his family. I am going to do more
research, but what i know off the top of my head is that my
dad was born around 1923? His middle name was Leslie. I
think this brothers names were Tom and Gene. His sisters
names were Mary and Darlene?. I remember when i was small
dad took me deer hunting at Steens Mountain. We visited the
round barn and I remember talk of the Blitzen River. He had
a family brand I think, because we looked it up in a book.
We also went to the musumn too. I think some of his
cousins(friends) had the last names of HAYES. (Woodruff). I
would like to talk to anyone that might have know him or
have any info so I can get started researching more. I guess
he was in the army and married my mom(Virginia), who was
from Michigan. I don't know for sure it they lived in the
Burns areas or not.
