291. B. McKelvey. 1971. Flour milling at Rochester. Rochester History 33 (3):1-19.
Historical information on the William Waters-Rachel Cox family frequently notes that their ancestors (don't know which side) were involved in early flour milling at Rochester, Monroe Co., New York. This article gives detailed history of the earliest operations. It may be useful at some point, but right now I cannot tie any of the early names given in the article to any early names in either the Waters or Cox lines. The early names this author cites are Ebenezer Allan, Christopher Dugan, Josiah Fish, Charles Harford, Rochester, Fitzhugh, and Carroll.
The first mill was in 1789 (Allan), with more substantial activity in 1807, 1815 and 1817.

292. E. McMunn. 1923. Our friend - Fred Waters. Statesman? (Salem, OR), 22 Oct 1923:
Editorial on Salem resident Fred Ralph WATERS, who died Oct 1923 - "He could do many things, but I believe that his greatest interest was in writing, although he made little or no effort to commercialize the talent, giving freely without recompense. One of his stories, 'The Bakersfield Secret', appeared in a local paper several years ago, and was the best story I had ever read before that time or since. It was the sort of story the big magazines today are paying $800 for, and yet he gave it away, and modestly hid his authorship under the name 'Gray'. He also wrote many fine, snappy criticisms on the moving picture business, appearing in California magazines under the name 'Miller' or any name that occurred to him at the moment."

293. A. D. Mellick Jr. 1889. The Story of an Old Farm; or Life in New Jersey in the Eighteenth Century. Somerville, NJ: The Anionist-Gazette.
P. 164 - "...settlers began to multiply in the vicinity of Pluckamin... On the east side of the [Raritan] river, on part of the tract (Winder) that George Willocks sold to Daniel Axtell, lived George Teeple and his sons, George and Christopher. He emigrated from Germany as early as 1700, and his grandson William was recently living in Pluckamin at an advanced age. The records show George Teeple to have been living in the township in 1745, and his name and that of his son John also appear, in 1756, as subscribers to the building of St. Paul's Lutheran church. From a gravestone in the churchyard we learn that John married Margaret Castner on the tenth of January, 1756, and after living together for fifty-seven years they died within three hours of each other on the seventeenth of March, 1813, and were buried in the same grave."

Info from scrapbook by Stanard in Albany, OR, Public Library: In 1849, John Waters joined Mr. Ikenberry's Company which left 13 April from Henry Co., Iowa, for California via Platte River, forts Laramie and Hall, Humboldt Sink, and Carson River. They arrived in Hangtown (Placerville) 7 Aug 1849, then went to Mud Springs (El Dorado) where they built "the first house or cabin ever built in that vicinity". In the spring of 1850, John Waters went with 2 horses to meet his brother A. W. Waters, who had started that year (?) for California. They met on the Carson River and returned safely to Mud Springs.
John came to OR on the steamer "Oregon", arriving in Portland 1 Jan. 1853. He walked up the Willamette Valley. The river was in flood, and he reported seeing "a large hotel building drifting away with the flood". He went on to Harrisburg where his brother-in-law Asa McCully was living. He helped David McCully erect the first store building. Asa went east for merchandise, returning in 1853.
IN 1856 or 1857, John bought an interest in a grist mill near Harrisburg with Hiram Smith and others - the mill became one of the largest makers and shippers of flour in OR. He remained with the mill 19 years. In 1877 he moved to Brownsville and bought the old McHargue grist mill; ran it for several years, sold out in 1890, moved to Seattle, Washington to start a grist mill on Lake Washington; the venture failed, and he returned to Brownsville, OR, to live the rest of his life.

308. A. E. Sheldon. 1931. Nebraska: the land and the people. Chicago, IL: Lewis Publishing Co. 2.
"In the spring of 1858 C. W. Sherfy initiated in Nebraska City the publication of a weekly paper to which he gave the name of People's Press. A few weeks later this pioneer newspaper plant and business were sold to L. L. Survey and Colonel O. H. Irish, and after the death of the former, Colonel Irish continued as editor and publisher until 1860, when the property and business were sold to J. E. La Masters and Alfred Mathias, who, in the following year, sold to and were succeeded by W. H. H. WATERS and Royal Buck, who changed the name of the publication to the Nebraska City Press and Herald. In 1862 Mr. Buck retired and Mr. Waters remained at the helm, he having dropped the name of Herald, and retained the title of Nebraska City Press. In 1863 was instituted the publication of a daily edition, and when this ambitious project proved a negative success, it was abandoned."

[In a handwritten note on this paper, it says that Clinton D. WATERS of Kinsman, OH (owner of the Abner Waters farm in 1932), when a boy went with his grandfather Abner WATERS (1782-1869) to visit some of Abner's cousins in Ashtabula Co., OH. This led the writer of the note to speculate that they might be the children of Benjamin WATERS, and that Benjamin might be the father of "our" William WATERS (m. Rachel COX). It would be a reach, as we know there were other families of WATERS/WATROUS in Ashtabula Co. by that time.]

327. A. J. Waters. 1901. Query - Nathan Waterhouse. New England Historic Genealogical Register 55: 225.
A. J. Waters was seeking information on:
Nathan WATERHOUSE/WATERUS/WATERS married Esther MANN. They moved from New London, Connecticut to Leyden, Massachusetts, and between 1780 and 1800 had children Nathan WATERHOUSE, William WATERHOUSE, Daniel WATERHOUSE, Timothy WATERHOUSE, Luther WATERHOUSE, Mercy WATERHOUSE, Betsey WATERHOUSE, Sarah WATERHOUSE, and Abigail WATERHOUSE. Nathan Sr. had a brother named John WATERHOUSE>

328. M. E. J. Westensee. 1993. Walter Watrus/Watrous/Waters - concerning the known children of Walter and Hester Smith Watrus. genealogical report.
The following information was in a report in the Wayne Co., NY, county historian's office, prepared by Mrs. Emil J. Westensee, 2330 24-1/2 Street, Rock Island, IL 61201.
[1] Walter WATROUS - born probably about 1765 [from age of children, and the fact that he was 70-80 years old in the 1840 census], birthplace uncertain (in later years, his children thought MA, CT, and NY); he apparently was married twice, the marriage to his second wife Hester SMITH would likely have occurred about 1800.
Other background: In Seneca Co., NY in 1801, there was a Walter WATRUS who was on the list of electors. There was also a James WATRUS. This Walter allegedly had a daughter Elizabeth WATRUS (b. 1761) who married Eldad Kellogg in 1783. Elizabeth would have been more or less a contemporary of Walter WATROUS b. 1765.
According to a descendant, Walter WATROUS had 14 children. Only about nine names are known (counting suspected first family).
[2] William WATERS - b. 1795, m. Rachel COX - placed in this family mainly because of the obituary of Walter Jim WATROUS which names William WATERS of Warrick Co., IN, a neighbor of Walter, as a "half brother". Presumably he was a child of Walter Watrous' first wife.

In the Albany, Oregon, Public Library, there are two xerox copies of the scrapbooks of E. E. Stanard. They are photocopies of Stanard's original workbooks that were prepared (without any editing or explaining) by N. L. Williamson in 1981, and copied courtesy of State Savings and Loan Association. The few items for which a date can be determined are from the 1920s and 1930s. There are handwritten notes, typed notes, and copies of news articles, all interspersed with no explanation. Some info was probably copied from books, but some looks like it might be from unpublished sources [at least, I've never seen some of it in any publication].

Volume 1
P.18, JOHN M. WATERS - Born 21 Jan 1831 Ashtabula Co. OH, son of ______ and Rachel (COX) Waters, both of whom were born in NY. They moved to OH several years before John was born, moved in IN in 1838, then moved to Henry Co., IA, in 1847.
In 1849, John went with Mr. IKENBERRY's company to CA, leaving 13 Apr 1849. Their route took them up the Platte, past Forts Laramie and Hall, then via Humboldt Sink and the Carson River to "Hangtown" [Placerville,CA], arriving 7 Aug 1849. He went from there to Mud Springs [El Dorado], built the first house/cabin in that vicinity, and lived there through the winter of 1849-50.
While at Mud Springs, Indians ran off about 35 head of horses belonging to the miners, including those of John Waters and his partners. About 20 miners went after the horses, traded gunfire with them killing at least 3 Indians, and burning their village. They got all the horses back.
After he had built his cabin at Mud Springs in 1849, he took a wagon into Sacramento and purchased a load of flour, pickled pork, beans, dried fruit, etc. "One day two men came into his cabin to buy some flour offering him a dollar a pound for same. He did not wish to sell at any price fearing he might run out himself. As the mud was simply awful and the roads impassable for teams between there and Sacramento. These men said he had more supplies than any one man should have, so they just took possession of one bbl of flour, paying him 200 dollars, and he got along all right without the flour. He says he handled many a thousand bbls of flour since then and made less money on them."
In the spring of 1850, he took two horses and went to the Carson River to meet his brother Captain A. W. Waters, who was coming from IA. They returned safely to Mud Springs. In the fall of 1850, he went to the site of present-day Colusa, CA, and built one of the first houses in the vicinity (maybe the first). In 1852 he took the steamer OREGON north, arriving in Portland, OR, 1 Jan 1853. He went up the Willamette Valley on foot to Harrisburg, where his brother-in-law A.A.McCully was living. It was a major flood period, and theWillamette River above and below the falls at Oregon City was almost level. He saw a hotel floating down the river.
In Harrisburg, he helped David McCully build the first building in town (a store, later used as annex to a hotel), while Asa went east to buy merchandise. The goods were shipped around the Horn, and arrived in OR the fall of 1853.
John Waters married Ellen More in 1854. That same year he built what was probably the first brick kiln in Linn County. In 1856 or 1857 he, Hiram Smith and others bought a grist mill that became one of the largest makers and shippers of flour in OR. He remained with the mill for 19 years. In 1877 he moved to Brownsville, OR, and bought the McHargue grist mill. In 1890 he moved to Seattle to build a grist mill on Lake Washington. The venture failed, and he returned to Brownsville within a year or so, and lived there until he died.

Volume 2
P.33 more notes on John WATERS - married Ellen Moore in 1854; she died in 1917. John died in 1904. "Waters built the first house at H[arrisburg] and became half owner of the old flouring mill there. A brother-in-law, Asa A. McCully, bought an interest in 1862, and they ran it until 1877. Waters sold out and moved family to Brownsville, where he bought interest in mill. Changed from old buhr mill to roller process, capacity enlarged, quality and output increased."
They had seven children, 3 alive when Mrs. Waters died in 1917: Mrs. Mary J. Morelock of Gold Hill, OR; Mrs. Rachel Cartright of Emmett, ID; and John Waters of White Swan, WA.
