I'm a descendent of Julia Ann (Ebbertt) Daly who homesteaded along Little Pumpkin Creek with her sons Stephen and Peter Daly in 1884--they arrived from Butler County in Nebraska. Her older stepson, Charles Daly Jr., had already arrived in that area the spring of 1882. Her youngest son from her first marriage, J.T. Hamilton (John Terrance) and his family arrived from South Dakota in 1893 and settled in Stacey. (Her daughter from that same first marriage, Mary Hamilton, married Charles Decker. She was also a school mistress of North Stacey School). Julia's daughter from her marriage to Charles Daly Sr., Roseanna (Annie), married Lewis M. Griffin. After Stephen and Peter moved away, Julia moved in with her daughter and family who had settled on her place. Julia died in 1904 and is buried on the old Griffin Ranch. I know it's a few miles from the old post office site. I'd like to make a trip out to the Stacey area and explore. I live in Washington State. I've recently unearthered all this family history and I need to see the place so much of my Irish ancestors helped settle. Does anyone know where I can find the old Griffin place, if the family cemetery is still there, and if so, is it accessible? Any other information anyone may have about the Dalys, Griffins, and Hamiltons is much appreciated. Thanks.
