I am finding differences in Joseph Dolph's trees. Such as parents and spouse. This is, I believe, the correct information.
Joseph Dolph was born in Dolphsburg, New York, on October 19, 1835.[2] The son of Elizabeth W. and Chester V. Dolph, his brother was Cyrus A. Dolph and his nephew was Frederick W. Mulkey.[3] Dolph earned his education at local public and private schools and then attended the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in Lima.[3] He studied law and was admitted to practice law after passing the bar in 1861.[2]
Dolph set up practice in Schuyler County, New York, and also taught school.[2][3] He read about the Western United States and decided to move west.[3] In 1862, he and his brother Cyrus enlisted in the Oregon Escort, which protected settlers traveling to Oregon from Native Americans.[2][3] After being honorably discharged at Fort Walla Walla in Washington Territory, Dolph settled in Portland and resumed the practice of law.[3] He became the city's attorney, serving from 1864 to 1865, and then Oregon's United States district attorney from 1865 to 1868.[2] In 1864, he married Augusta E. Mulkey, and the couple had six children.[3]
Hopefully with the correct parents, spouse and brother.
