Family Contribution:

Charles A. Brandt.  Born about 1830 in "Prussia," Germany (not Russia, as your records have it). Although he was dead by the time of the 1880 census, the census does record data on the various children in the family, and notes that their father was born in "Prussia." Charles may have been a minister. There is at least one Washington County, OR, marriage recorded in which "Rev. Chas A Brandt" presided on 3 June 1877. The record was extracted from the Washington County Marriage Records, Book Two, and it states: "George Galbreath and Miss Emma Viola Walker m 3 June 1877 at house of the bride's mother at Tualatin in the presence of many wits; Rev. Chas A Brandt, p. 161." May R. Lepschat & G.S. Balfour, Washington County Oregon Records, Marriage Records, 1842-1880, vol. 1, p. 51 (Genealogy Forum of Portland, 1972).
