NOTES
1). Isaac Ross Moores bore the name of his grandfather, Isaa c Ross. He married his cousin, Jean Alexander, who at the t ime lived in Illinois. About 1852 they started on the lon g journey to Oregon, accomplishing it in about five months , after passing through many dangers. He and two cousins, A lexander and McDonald, together with a friend, Fithian, pur chased the town site of Milwaukee from Adam Juneau, the Fre nch owner, and repudiated the purchase when they learned th at Fithian, who conducted the negotiations with Juneau, ha d paid $9,000, collecting $3,000 each from the three cousin s on the statement that he had paid $12,000. They forced hi m to take all of the land and to return the money, and Fith ian s forced purchase made him a very rich man. Isaac Ros s Moores was a Colonel in the Blackhawk War, a member of th e Oregon Territorial Legislative Assembly and a member of t he first and only Oregon State Constitutional Convention. H e was defeated by a narrow margin, just before his death, f or the Oregon State Senate.
