He was visiting a nephew who could have been a PORTEOUS or a VAN PLEW/VAMPLEW. I have been told he had a brother who lived in Kansas, but have no record of his name. I know there was a William M. PORTEOUS living there in 1884, but don't know anymore. A VAMPLEW lived there around that time also, but I have not been able to get any information (on-line) of him either. If there is anyone who could give me some information, that would be great. Also, I would like a little history of the area and Garfield. ----------------------------------- MILES Robert Miles (kellmiles@yahoo.com) 31 July 2003 I believe my Great-Grandfather, Robert Elden MILES, was born in Larned, Kansas on (or about) March 13, 1886.

It was written he was in Saw Mill, Pawnee County, Kansas in 1884, but believed to be dead. I couldn't locate any reference to a town named Saw Mill, does it perhaps go by another name? Also, Lawrence was a surgeon in the 63rd NY of the Irish Brigade during the Civil War, he also had a practice in Oswego, New York both before and after the war, he was quite old by 1884, so I don't know what reason he left Oswego for Saw Mill, maybe other relatives lived there. ----------------------------------- THOMAS Rae Woodruff (rae.woodruff@cox.net) 7 June 2003 My THOMAS Family bible states that Charles Admetris THOMAS died in Larned, Kansas on January 24, 1927.
