I presume these are parents of my ggg grandfaher James Edward Laughlin's parents as his mother was supposed to have been Joseph and Jane (Poole) Laughlin. JE married a Dora Rice and then Nancy Willoughby in 1900 in New Albany. Nancy was the mother of Alta Mae Richie who marred JE's son Charles Marvin Laughlin. They were also supposed to have married in 1900 in New Albany.
Both CM Laughlin and Alta were born in New Albany we believe. Nancy's parents were Hopkins and Malinda Rose Willoughby. Her husband was Isaac Thomas Richie listed in the WilsonCo. list of civil war vet in 1883, Coyville. JE & Nancy, Alta & Charles, Hopkins and Malinda and the Meyers came to Oregon after 1900.
