--=======7D644753======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-3F9C72B2; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi List, I think I would like to visit with William Riley Busby who was the man elected to lead the wagon train that he and his family came west with during the Civil War. He died in Umatilla, Oregon, before the journey was complete. He could tell me more about his wife, Marilda Twitchell, too.

Linda How fascinating is that! You might be able to find more information about the wagon trains. I was quite surprised to see a picture of a conestoga wagon on Alabama information, because my visual image was Conestoga Wagons wending their way through prarie country. I think we should open it up to an ancestor and their spouse, even a sibling. I would hope some of the ladies would teach me to quilt after dinner.
