Settlement Area: The Dalles, Juniper Flat

Facts and Info: In 1900 John Robert and his family, (sister Anna, brother Eddy, and baby sister Nellie) went over the old trail-mountains to Wapinitia where they stayed until fall. John Robert took a job herding sheep for a man named Gable. He herded sheep at Mutton Mountain, also the Blue Mountains. Then John Robert took jobs with different farmers until he and his father (John Thompson married to Miranda JaneWhitcomb) found an 800 acre place that they homesteaded. The family spent the winter with a man named Bud Smith. In the spring they found a place. 
   Soon after this they moved to their home place which was located on the rim rocks, on the Deschutes River. This part of the country was Juniper Flat. On this big place they raised grain, wheat, oats, barley, corn and raised as many as 300 hogs to sell in the fall, also a large number of poultry, chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks, and five head of cows was the number they kept at the time.
   During the summer the headers would be at this place from two to three weeks, same with the thrasher. Then the job was hauling it to market which was at Dufur or The Dalles.
John Robert and Dora May Davidson were married in The Dalles, same place as his parents.  They (John and Dora) built a little house of their own on this ranch and lived there for some time, then went to Portland working on different jobs, then again moved, to Garden Homes where they stayed until moving to the Alfalfa, Bend country....This was taken from the OLD FAMILY BIBLE by Nellie Thompson-Reed in the year 1962.
   I am looking for any information on John Thompson, Miranda Jane (Whitcomb) John Robert Thompson and Dora May (Davidson).
