Just a note for those interested. I've been typing bios for my Walla Walla, WA site and there are quite a few people who came some of the Oregon counties. You might want to take a look. I can send a list of the bios I've typed but it's pretty long. I have the bio page at: "http://www.usgennet.org/usa/or/county/wallowa/wwbios.htm" Janine Bork

This message mentions that Daniel Boone was a cousin of Mr. Martin - thought that this list may enjoy!!!

Hi Folks, I'm still looking for information on my Thompson line who left Adel, Iowa in 1862 going by wagon train to California and then were in Linn Co. Oregon by 1864. They may have been traveling with one or more families of Millers. It seems that their son James was married to Martin Miller's daughter, Mary, while they were in Iowa. Martin and family were also in Linn Co. by 1870. The Thompsons were as follows in the 1860 census: parents: Enoch ~52 and Mary ~46 children: Augustus ~28 James ~26 and his wife Mary ~15 Mary ~19 Robert N. ~17 George C. ~12 Martha A(lice)~9 Erastus (W?)~6 I am Geraldine Frances Ingersoll, the great granddaughter of Martha Alice Thompson and Theodore Warner Boone. Contact me on list and/or at gfjay@aol.com.

sorry i have just found out that an obit of one of A.m. Collins' daughters states that they came west in the year 1876. were there still wagon trains that late over the oregon trail ? It seems kind of late to me, but I do not know anything about it. My ggramma is the one that said she remembered the long dusty dirty trip...also i am wondering if they came earlier and stayed in Ca for awhile before going north to oregon. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you. gloria ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Trying to find out on which wagon train the A.M. COLLINS family came west with, It was between 1868 and 1875 i think. He was always called Captain Collins or Al. His name was Alvin M. Collins, he had wife Lydia Crandall Collins and 3 daughters, born 1861 and 1863(twins in '63) I think his father, Henry B. Collins and possibly his mother Eliza also came west. There is also the possibility that Randolph /Rodolph Crandall and wife Elizabeth came west with them. they would have started out from Minnesota, or, more likely, Wisconsin. Capt. collins went to CA first before moving up to OR(Hillsboro) where he lived the rest of his life. I do not know if the family went with him or if they went to Hillsboro to the Crandall's.Can anyone on the list help me, or give me any ideas on where or what to search?

The Boone Society Reunion July 31-August 4, 2002 Tentative plans so far (a year ahead of time) are as follows: 1- Thursday, Aug.1__ Dr. Jim Tompkins, Professor of Oregon History at Portland State University, will be our tour guide for a bus trip on the Columbia Gorge portion of the Oregon Trail. We will stop at Multnomah Falls around Mt. Hood and at Timberline Lodge at the base of the mountain (we are investigating a possible lunch there). We will then travel west down Laurel Hill where wagons, oxen, horses and emigrants were lowered by rope. Previous to 1846, travel to the Willamette Valley was by the Columbia River, a treacherous and dangerous route. Some of Jim Tompkins’ ancestors came this way. 2- For an evening program, we will be honored with the presence of William Cannon, the only Revolutionary War soldier buried in Oregon, portrayed by Tom Laidlaw- actor, writer, historian and master storyteller who holds a BS Degree in Theater Arts from Portland State Univ. He has been a volunteer blacksmith and interpreter at Ft. Vancouver, WA for five years. 3-A report on historian Ken Kamper’s work with the Daniel Boone and Frontier Families Association will include their efforts to protect and preserve Boone history and locations, as well as a program on the many Boone sites in Missouri. 4-Friday, Aug. 2 __A trip to the Oregon Coast. 5- Saturday, Aug. 3__An afternoon tour of the Oregon Interpretive Center, featuring Boone Memorabilia. ANNOUNCING************ "THE BOONE BOX" *************************** We are looking forward to answering your questions regarding the fourth Boone Society, Inc. Reunion scheduled to be held in Wilsonville, Oregon (near Portland) from July 31, 2002 - August 4, 2002. Our personal BOONE Voice Mail Line will be at 1-503-682-5599 beginning on October 1, 2001.

Hello, Friends -- Three brothers crossed the plains in 1852 to Oregon: Arthur M. WALKER (married Telitha Bonner), Jesse F. WALKER (1816-c. 1860 - he died Clackamas Co. -- married Isophena Carver), and Rev. Washington P. WALKER (c.1822-1894 -- buried Sherman Co., OR --- married Mary Thompson). These three were sons of Charles P. and Elizabeth (TALBOTT) WALKER and had been born and lived in St. Clair Co., IL, about 10 miles below St. Louis. The brothers also lived in Newton Co., MO and possibly Benton Co., MO before heading overland. Does anyone have any further info on these WALKERs? One reference says that they crossed the plains in the "Mercer Thompson party." I can't find out very much about Mercer THOMPSON - just one reference to his DLC, with wife, Sarah W. Thompson, in Linn Co. Does anyone have any info on this train -- where they jumped off, who else traveled in this group, date they arrived in OR, etc? I wonder if Washington P. Walker's wife, Mary THOMPSON, was related to Mercer Thompson -- and how? Any chance anyone knows of a diary/journal/reminiscence kept by someone in the 1852 "Mercer Thompson" party? I'd appreciate any news anyone might have. Many thanks! Sara

I am trying to find info on a wagon train that my gggf John B. Johnson took to California with his wife Rachel? about 1860. She was killed by indians. Is there an easy wasy to locate this information? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Janice Gnekow

Bonsoir, Check out this fellow who might be able to help you find out more about the Dilley folks. Dilley had a DLC #1931, I believe I am interested to know if you have any documentation or trail journal relating to the Dilley overland trek.

This is a note of thanks to the many generous people who helped me find my Oregon ancestors, and even a descendant of those ancestors! When I started my search for my grandmother Minnie Boone’s family, I received much help from many wonderful people. There are lots of Boones, and many are well documented, giving searchers somewhere to start. And I found my Boones, as well as some of their descendants and many, many distant Boone cousins. When I started to search for my Boone grandmother’s mother’s Thompson people, things got much more difficult. Thompson, I think, is almost in a league with Jones and Smith! But I've found many of them! My sincere thanks go to the following: Oliver Orange Burns_ my great grandmother, Martha Alice Thompson Boone’s son-in-law, long deceased, who bothered to listen to an old lady and then bothered to record on her death certificate the town and state where she was born. This was a key clue. Arlene Curry Buschert_ a Boone cousin and native Oregonian, who looked up and copied the 4-18-1869 marriage record of my great grandmother, Martha Alice Thompson and great grandfather, Theodore Warner Boone. Jane Hutchings, Don Houck, Lisa Jones and Jan_ all Linn County Oregon volunteers who have done invaluable census, cemetery and other look ups for me. Glenn Harrison_Linn County Historical Society, who bothered to let me know that there was a Sara L. Tanner who registered as researching Linn County Thompsons. It has taken a while, but the connection has been made, and I am now 99.9% sure that Sara’s great grandfather was George Clinton Thompson and that he and my great grandmother, Martha Alice Thompson, were brother and sister. Sara and I are third cousins. I'm sure I have left out other people who helped in many different ways. I thank them too! There are still many Thompson pieces to be found and assembled, but what a great start! Sincere thanks, Geraldine Ingersoll

Dear Readers, I am driving up to Oregon in October, and will be in Sherwood looking for a donation land claim taken up by my great-great grandfather, Levi Washington Gregg sometime in 1852-1853. He always was in Yamhill Co., but Sherwood is in Washington Co. Any ideas about where to look up a donation land claim record? Thank you, Barbara Harvey

I have put other things as was told to acomodate 2000 a t the time of new years. I hope this won't be a problem to anyone. At least you won't be missing some mesages and have to go back in them.

LEWIS, ALLEN, BROWN, FIESTER, STROOP, MCCUBBINS My wife's family line includes Barbary ALLEN who married James MCCUBBINS, 3 Jan 1853 Marion Co., Oregon. This was James' and Barbary's second marriages. Barbary was married first to Daniel Lewis they had at least one child Rebecca Elizabeth b. 7 Feb 1846 in Missouri m. 22 Oct. 1865 in Marion Co., to Samuel Stroop. James was married first to China UNKNOWN. They had eight children according to an LDS ancestral file: Zackariah b. 1831, Samuel b. 1834, Rachel b. 1835, Andrew b. 1838, Thomas J. b. 1843, Nancy Jane b. 1847, James b. 1847, and Alice b. 1849. Since, Barbary married James in 1853 in Oregon and Rebecca was born in Missouri in 1846, she must have came to Oregon with Daniel Lewis but I can not find a record of their trip. I also cannot find a death record for a Daniel Lewis in Oregon or Missouri that would match this Daniel. If Daniel had died in Missouri it is unlikely that Barbary and Rebecca would have traveled to Oregon on their own. They would have more likely came with either the Lewis or Allen families. Daniel Lewis may have been connected to the Daniel Peelstraw Lewis family of Silverton Oregon. Barbary "Barbara Lewis" is buried in that family's cemetery near Silverton. I have been trying to determine if James and Barbary had any children together. They were married from 1853 to 1877. I have found a Ruth Mccubbins b. abt 1855 who married Isaac J. Leabo Jr. and Rebecca Elizabeth (LEWIS) STROOP was a witness at their marriage. Barbary ALLEN was married for a third time to Nelson LEWIS (A different Lewis family from NY that includes Ruben Lewis of Silverton.) m. 12 Jan 1884 in Marion Co. If anyone could find a record of Barbary and Daniel's Oregon Trail trip or any other information on these families and possible connection your help will be appreciated. Other Oregon Trail ancestors are Charles Fiester s/o Daniel Fiester and Rachel Darling (Oregon Trail 1847), Nancy Elizabeth Brown d/o of Benjamin and Mary Brown of Indiana. m. 27 Sep 1865 in Marion Co. to Charles Fiester.

I'm not sure when he came across but he was listed still in Indiana in the 1850 census and in one of the letters he mentioned he went down to the California Gold fields the year before so I think he must have come across late 1850 or 1851. His sister was married to John Ford, Niveneh Ford's brother who was living in Oregon City and had came across in 1843. I believe George left in 1853 to move to Iowa. Do any of you have any record of this George Dye? Thanks, Dean Mills

Levi Gregg, with his children Urania Jane,6, John, 1, and William,4, arrived in Oregon in 1852. They had left Jo Daviess County, Illinois, in the spring of 1852, crossing the Missouri, then following the Platte to Dallas, Oregon, Polk Co., where they then headed to Washington County and Yamhill County. Urania Jane, in 1867, married James McConnell in Clackamas Co. What happened to William,4, and John? Who did they marry? What trail would they have taken into Oregon? Levi's first wife, Susanna Smith Gregg, died of the cholera while camped along the Platte, as did her mother (Levi's mother-in-law) Mrs. Smith. Levi's father also died evidently just prior to arriving in Oregon. He was John Gregg, twin brother of Thomas, twins born 10 Dec. 1798, Knoxville TN, sons of Philip Gregg. Levi Gregg, in 1861, married the widow, Jane Parrish Heater. They divorced in Yamhill County in 1868. Jane later married Joseph Voss. Jane had children by Heater, Gregg and Voss. I am hoping to contact descendants of all of the families above, share, and compare notes. Especially of Urania Jane, William and John, Levi's children by Susanna Smith. Thank you, Barbara Harvey, great-great-granddaughter of Levi Gregg
