The Centennial History of Chautauqua states that Martha's husband died in Chautauqua County 1877. So I have ruled him out. My John West died in Iowa in 1862. My hypothetical party went to Johnson Co. IA between 1838 and 1840. It might have included Jehiel Parks, Solomon Shepard, Moses Adams and members of the Pratt and Stiles families.
