Here's the website: http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/ Especially things like the "Frontier Justice" section of the results. Looks like his family and himself ran into debt over "logger's liens". They now have the 1870 federal census up on their search, which is excellent, because he's in there. And so is Susan. (Oh, your ancestors are exciting!
