About Me
- JayCee
- I am James Christopher Smock. I arrived in Oregon at the age of four with the family Hall. We were eight in number. It was 1852. My wife Mary Ellen Sebastian and I platted the town of "Smockville" in 1889, which later became the Town of Sherwood.

The word "oneiric" (based upon an ancient Greek word, oneiros. "a dream.") always comes to mind when I visit Champoeg,
When you ask a State of Oregon employee at Champoeg "What makes this place so special?" ... the answer will be filled with fits and starts.
That difficulty is exactly what makes the job of Re-enactor so important. You just had to be there!
I think that the story of "Who's for the Divide?" is still a good one. No, they were not voting to become an American State, but still they were wanting some sort of government to take care of all the usual social problems.
