Notes:

(Research):John McLoughlin, "The Father of Oregon", second daughter, was Maria Eloisa, called Eloisa, was considered McLoughlin's favorite. She was born at Ft. William on Lake Superior in 1817. She also stayed with Dr. John's sister to get educated but came out west afterwards. She was a great favorite at the fort. She took over hostess duties from her mother, who gladly gave it up. In 1838, she married William Glen Rae, the chief clerk at the fort. In 1840, they went to Ft. Stikine, to establish a new post, with Rae as chief trader. In 1841, he was sent to California to establish a new post. She joined him about 1842 at Yerba Buena, which later became San Francisco. They had two sons and two daughters. One son died a few days after birth. Her husband committed suicide under mysterious circumstances. She and her children moved into a new home in Oregon City in 1846. She remarried in 1850 to David Harvey, who was in charge of the McLoughlin mills. They had two more sons and one daughter. In 1867, they left Oregon City and moved to Portland. Harvey died the next year and so did her oldest son John from her first marriage. She died in 1884 at age 67. From History of Fur Traders by Beth Gibson. http://www.franksrealm.com/sivu-indians.html

Litigation over Dr. John McLoughlin's land claim at Oregon City was finally settled five years after his death. His heirs-- daughter Eloise McLoughlin Harvey and (second) husband Daniel Harvey-- sold the rights to water power at the east side of the Willamette Falls to George LeRoque who operated the Imperial Flour Mill on the east shore. The next year, the rights were sold to new owners: John M. Moore, George Marshall, Samuel L. Stevens, and Joseph Sweiter.
