(This throws a shadow on the remainder of his recollections.) He clearly left California for the Missouri River Country during 1847 where he married Frances Everman in Dec. 1847. Then he must have returned to California, taking the children with him then......Nor, do I believe any guide in 1844 of a wagon train would have had small children with him, which means the children would have been left at Gemecker's from 1844 to 1848 (?), just aS THAT PRIMARY source of county court records state.
