Cecil.....Thank you for the fantastic trip across the Oregon Trail and other points west. I traveled to Linn County, Oregon in 1990 from Miller County, MO and had a wonderful time visiting the many sites along the old route. Enjoyed Old Ft. Kearney, Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, Scottsbluff. I saw some of the old wagon tracks that are still visible in Nebraska and Wyoming. It is a trip I will never, never forget.....Also got to visit Bilyeu Den Cemetery in Linn County where my great, great, great grandparents are buried (Peter and Jane Coker Bilyeu-----Pioneers of 1852-53)........Your website is wonderful and the armchair trip was great!

See: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cchouk/ccrulaford.htm for the other stories. By Cecil Clark Rulaford The New Baby and Chief Joseph In 1859, Nineveh Ford had a fire which completely destroyed his tannery. So he gathered his cattle and horses and migrated to the Walla Walla Valley. He took a 160 acre homestead on the Walla Walla River, close to Freewater, Oregon. [Note that Milton and Freewater were seperate towns at this time.] Shortly after he got his family settled in a log cabin, the Indians began to make trouble not far away. Nineveh Ford saddled his horse and volunteered to help the soldiers quell the Indians. About the same time little Martha (my mother) was born. September 8, 1859. Three days later Chief Joseph, Chief of the Nez Perce tribe, came to the log cabin with sixteen of his warriors, all decked out in their war paint. The chief entered first, and said, "We want see white papoose". So they all came in single file, took a look, gave a grunt and walked out. Grandmother settled back in her bed with a sigh of relief. [Note: Martha Jane Ford was the first white girl born in the Walla Walla Valley.] Cecil Houk, ET1 USN Ret., AG6I PO Box 530833 San Diego CA 92153 res San Diego CA 92154-3654 NEW EMAIL ADDRESS mailto:cchouk@cox.net ANDERSON-BLAKELY-EGGERS-FORD-HOUK-KIMSEY-MONTGOMERY-RULAFORD-SIMPSON Searchable GEDCOM: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~cchouk See also: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~donhouk My Web pages menu: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cchouk/rulaford/menu.htm

Hello, I just joined the list. I've recently taken over our family history since my Mom passed away. I am looking for information on Thomas R. Musick and Lucy Ann Boone, who I'm told may have been married while traveling with the Donner Party from Salt Lake City (both born in Missouri). I have found census records from Oregon 1860 Umpqua County, but I don't have much from that time on. I'm interested in any information I can get on this family, but particularly what happened to Lucy Boone Musick. Does anyone know when/where she died? My grandfather's mother was Mary Elizabeth Musick, their daughter. Our family also kept in contact with her sisters, especially Daisy Musick and Addie Musick. Addie was married to Percy Levar in Oregon, and their daughter, Mary, was my grandfather's cousin, and we were close to her. I thank you for any help you can give me! Carrie Rauch

I received this e-mail the other day. It sounds like quite a project. I'll enclose the e-mail I received. If any of you could take a look at the website and see if you can identify the pictures, I know it would be appreciated by Richard. It sounds like a real labor of love. Richard has given his permission to post this on the two Oregon lists. Janine ************************************************************ Oregon Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 22:42:33 -0800 From: "C. Richard Matthews" <crmatthews@tcnet.net> To: borks@aracnet.com I have a web site called unknownpic that I'm putting old photos on some are identified and most aren't I have just added one of a parade in Albany Oregon in 1898 I don't know what county that is but if you would let the person that covers that county know perhaps they would like to copy it and maybe identify some of the others. These were taken on glass plate negatives that belong to a Doctor here in KY. He traveled through the west in 1898 taking photos and the 200 I have where in a barn and it looked like over a thousand were broke I save these and think they would be of interest to people doing genealogy maybe some of their family. I just add 10 per month as that is all I can afford to have printed due to cost. "http://www.tcnet.net/unknownpic"

I picked up a virus that may have been forwarded to the list. I have deleted the virus and wanted to warn all of you to be carefule. I run Norton but turned it off for an hour while I tweaked some computer settings. I apparently downloaded some messages before I remembered to turn it back on. I get between 75-125 messages a day and there is usually at least one virus attachment. I have now gone back to using Netscape Messenger and am back to keeping my address book in a separate program.

John Turner, his wife Mary Botfield Turner and their extended family came across the Oregon trail from Maryland, via an extended stay in Indiana, in 1849. Dropping down through Nevada and coming into California through the Placerville area. His daughter Rebecca Grayless died in Diamond Springs, El Dorado Co., Ca and supposedly is buried in Placerville, although her grave is not located in the Placerville Cemetery and no record of her burial is on file (They didn't start recording deaths until 1850.) John Turner ended up in San Joaquin Co. There is a Turner Station sign next to a set of railroad tracks directly off of French Creek Road, just down the road from Park View Cemetery, where he, his wife and some of his children are buried. I would love to know if they traveled with others and if there is any record of their wagon train....or if Turner Station could have one time been a stage coach stop that John and his family ran, or any other information on the Turner family.

Has anyone on the list read a diary or journal about the trip west on the Oregon Trail that makes any reference to an Orin or Buck Martin? I have been told that there is a diary that mentions a "Buck", who was traveling without a wagon, who was always causing trouble. He supposedly killed a half breed Indian over a horse. Reply to Les Martin big1@internetcds.com

Henry LOCKHART b.ca.1818 PA and came West in a Wagon Train from MO. His wife was Mary A. b.1831 IN They had at least 3 children, first child Noah b.1853 IA enroute.... My husband's g grandmother was born many years later after they got to CA. She is Sarah Emma LOCKHART, b. 20 Nov 1870 Lodi, San Joaquin Co., CA. In 1880 he and his family are in Ten-Mile, Mendocino Co., CA. Any connections or clues to more data on their trip West from MO and their ancestry in IN and PA.
