You can find information on Joseph Parrott in the Fish family records. Sorry I can't dig it out right now, but my database is down. Carmen J. Bryant
Perhaps someone could offer some tips for beginning wagon trail research. I am been doing other research for some time, but I am not that familiar with wagon train research, and perhaps I am missing obvious sources. I have checked a number of websites on the subject, and reviewed numerous passenger lists, such as they are, but find nothing helpful even slightly helpful. My ggg grandparents went west, evidently as a courting couple, and married in Folsom, CA, near Sacramento in 1866. They aren't lost--they later went back to Brookfield, Wisconsin and stayed, where ggg grandpa had many many stories about his adventures on the trail west. He was, by family tradition, leading or otherwise participating in taking wagon trains west for a period of many years. He had a buffalo rug and a large gold nugget which was said to be from "the gold rush," but he was too young to have been a 49-er in California, so we have wondered about that.. (Someone on the list mentioned a gold strike in Montana). Supposedly he was a friend of Bill Cody and learned to speak some Indian languages. (A local historically minded person here in Wisconsin interviewed CB about all his experiences on the trail shortly before his death, but sadly, nothing was evidently done with that manuscript, which seems to be lost to history as a result, a reminder to us all to assure that our research is placed somewhere and not lost if something happens to us.) The names I am looking for are: Charles B. "C.B." COLEMAN, b. 1841, Cazenovia, Madison Co. NY, m. Folsom, CA, 1866, d. 1930 in WI. Perhaps his parents: Hiram Augustus "H.A." COLEMAN, b. 1817-? and MATILDA CARPENTIER/CARPENTER C.B's bride, Julia Sapronia FORSTING, b. 1841, Cazenovia, Madison Co., NY, d. 1926 in WI. Julia father: John Henry FORSTING, b. 1825/6 in The Netherlands, d. 1876 in WI. and either Julia's mother, Laura A. Strowbridge CLARK, who disappears from all records after Julia's birth but is not believed to have died then, or the second wife, Helena PLATTNER, b. 1825 in Hoboken, Madison Co., NY, d. 1895, WI. John Henry's brothers, Andrew FORSTING and Lester FORSTING, who are also believed to have gone west. All suggestions for further research are appreciated. Pam Berger, berger@netstream.net

Laura, I am able to identify all but one of your postings. **DEALY, JOHN F., son of David Dealy jr and Diana Tucker **DEALY, Thomas, probably son of David Dealy jr **DEALY, JAEMS T., should be James Daniel, although has been identified as James T. on other records, son of David Dealy jr **PRINE, William W., should be William Martin, uncle to Barney Prine and brother in law to Ailcy DEALY Prine Ray. **PRINE, Dana, should be PRINE, David, oldest son of Ailcy Dealy and Francis PRINE. He married Elizabeth RAY,[his stepsister], daughter of William RAY and Nancy Harding. **PRINE, Jonathan, two possibilities here: Jonathan A. PRINE,3 Jan 1843 Jack Co., MO., was youngest son of Ailcy Dealy and Francis Prine; he never married and usually found in living in household of mother. He is buried alongside her in the Providence Cemetery, Scio,OR. Jonathan Monroe Prine b 1843 Jack Co., MO., was son of William Martin PRINE and Mary "Polly" DEALY [sister to Ailcy]. He has been confused in many genealogies with his cousin;, but he married Charity James and they moved to Arizona and onto New Mexico and had large family. **PRINE, Susan, two possibilities here also: Susan N. Prine, born 1858 Linn Co., OR, dau of W. M. PRINE and Polly Dealy; and Susan E. Prine b 14 May 1858 Linn Co., OR., dau of David PRINE and Elizabeth RAY. **PRINE, Barney and Prine, Francis B. are the same person; son of Francis Prine and Ailcy DEALY; he was founder of Prineville, OR. **DEALY, D. and Dealy David are brother to Ailcy DEALY Prine RAY and 2nd wife was Martha Jane RAY. He was often called the "Roadbuilder of the WEST". One news article identified him as building the road connecting Pendleton and LaGrande, ORand utilized until "cabbage road" was built. Think I identified them all except Dealy, Richard. No one by that name in my database. Believe the Daniel PRINE, you found in Butler Co., OHIO 1807 tax records to be younger brother to Francis Prine and William Martin Prine. As noted above, my DEALY and PRINE lines are closely interwoven. Hope the above helps someone.

Hi Folks, Perhaps someone out there may know of a Rev. Dickenson who was a pastor in Jackson Co. Or. in abt 1853 -54. At that time the Reverend adopted a little girl, named Edna Derry, whose mother died. Wondering what denomination Rev. Dickenson was, this may help shed some light on the situation. All good memories, I assure you! marilyn

My Oregon families: ROGERS, CHAMBERLAIN, ROBINETT/ROBNETT, POWELL William Henry ROGERS of Grant Co., Wisconsin and wife Hannah (Hattie) CHAMBERLAIN of Oakland Co., Michigan settled in the Troutdale area c1889. Hannah’s parents, George Washington CHAMBERLAIN and Mary LANE also settled in Troudale c1882. John ROBINETT of Bourbon Co., Kentucky came to Linn Co. with a few years lay-over in Missouri. Arrived in Oregon 1851 with wife Mary POWELL, daughter of Richard POWELL and Rachel JAMES. Mary was born in Clairborne Co., Tennessee and also lived many years in Missouri before coming further west.

There were attractive mineral springs in the vicinity and Wilhoit took up the property on that account and operated a health and pleasure resort.

Wilhoit is a very prominent name in the early settlement of Virginia, particularly relating to the Germanna Settlement and the Culpeper area. Many Wilhoits traveled west. Lookng for a male WILHOIT from Nebraska. Does anyone have him on a list to Oregon trail? MVG

I'm researching the families of John B. McCARTY, and John W BRIEDWELL, both of which settled in Amity. John B.'s son Alexander Vance McCARTY (the pioneer preacher) was the first across in '46. The rest of the family came the next year, including James St Clair McCARTY, my great-grandfather. Alexander Vance and two of his brothers married with the Bounds and Lovelady families, which had previously intermarried, resulting in three brothers marrying three (genetic) sisters. The BRIEDWELLs came in '52, along with the in-laws, of whom the father-in-law, Jeremiah Buford died of cholera. The BRIEDWELL daughter, Sarah Margaret, was 6 months old at the beginning of the trek. She married James St Clair, and they lived in White Salmon, among other places.
