Salt Lake City, Utah: FamilySearch, 2013. But the part of our family that really goes back in the islands is our mother Georgina Templin Buck’s side. Our great, great grandfather was Robert Firth. He came to San Juan Island around 1850 to work for the Hudson Bay Company at their sheep farm where American Camp is now. After the “Pig War,” the boundary between the U.S. and Britain was arbitrated by Kaiser Wilhelm. The San Juans became U.S. territory and the Hudson Bay Company withdrew from the islands. At that time Robert Firth was the “factor” (manager) of their operations on San Juan Island and after leasing the 160-acre farm to him for several years they apparently simply gave it to him around 1870. Robert Firth and his descendents lived there for another couple of generations. In fact, he and his wife lived in the house that still stands at American Camp and that was once the Commanding Officer’s house during the military occupation of American Camp. Our mother grew up on Orcas, but her mother, Jessie Douglas Templin, Robert Firth’s granddaughter, was raised in Friday Harbor. She grew up in the big old house that once stood where Friday Harbor House is today. Her father John Douglas owned the Saloon Best. That building still stands at the foot of Spring Street across from the Ale House. Douglas Road in San Juan Valley is named for her family, as two of her uncle’s had large farms there. She married Karl Templin of Orcas. The Templins had been on Orcas since the 1890’s, and my grandparents owned and ran Templin’s Store in Eastsound. It was an old-fashioned general store, selling everything from food to fishhooks, candies to shovels, nails to venison. I have had several elderly people tell me that my grandparents’ generosity and willingness to extend “credit” for years at a time helped many families get through the Depression. http://www.hometrust.org/neighborhoods-buck-history.html
