G etting back to M averick, he is
said to have sq u atted , at one tim e

C reek is now m arked. He held
several county offices, having been
County Judge of C urry in 1861,
( a t a sa lary of $200 per annum )
and although no record has yet
been tu rn ed up of his and Rachel's
m arriag e, it has been several

M averick is reported to have
lived in Gold Beach for several
