Donna,I have also seen the grave stone to which you are refering. I have found records that indicate a Dorothy Oaks married a Mr. Savage abt 1840 (this is off the top of my head.) In the 1860 census, a Dorothy Savage is living next door to G Oaks and his family.
It is my OPINION, that a earlier researcher may have found reference to her dying in Rutland, O. Old handwriting being difficult to read, it was interpreted as Portland, Oregon.
Since she died just months prior to the census of 1870, that is of no help. I have been unable to find reference to her death in the death records of Meigs County, but that doesn't mean she didn't die there - records of that period are not exact.
I am descended from Lutilla Case, the daughter of Clarissa McAboy Case Oaks - Gorham's 2nd wife.
I have information on the children of Gorham and Clarissa.
