I know this message is in the list archives, but it seems like we have some new members so I'll post it again.

Also included are some names from trailside graves, and some suggestions on how to research wagon trains.

Just wondered if you are familiar with the Dickey Prairie area that is a few miles east of Molalla in Clackamas CO. There is a Dickey Prairie store that is a major stop when heading up the Molalla River. There is also a Dickey Prairie school.

Would anyone know whether there is any sort of record of the names of those who died along the trail. I'm looking for two children of Alexander Hamilton, ages between one and five. Thanks for any help. Helen
Would anyone know if there is a list of the names of the leaders or captains who led the caravans on the trail? Looking for anything on Alexander Hamilton who arrived about 1850 and was a Captain. Hoping to find out if he is my great uncle. Helen

The general list calls him Capt. Alexander Hamilton, but no date or family members mentioned. His name probably came from family sources rather than toll books, hence the uncertain date. Do you have names of family members with a different surname that might have been in his party? jim

Hi to all, I live near Lexington in view of Swaggart Buttes. An interesting story connected with them is that the home built there was the center for horsethieves. Mr Swaggart owned lots of horses and because of his excellent knowledge of the Buttes was able to hide herds of them easily. It is farmed now and cattle roam those crags and hidden hollows. Marlene

James Smith's DLC was at the junction of the Big and Little Lukiamute rivers (where they camped upon arrival on December 31, 1846, destitute from the disaster of the Southern Route), and his son John's was on the Little Lukiamute just north of him. Daughter Minerva Jane Smith used her middle name too, and the Longs settled in Oakland not Yoncalla in Douglas county, on John Long Road, where our cousin Robert Long's family has lived to this day. The first and only Long child born in Polk county was named John James Long for his father John Long and grandfather James Smith, and married Jesse Applegate's daughter Sallie and Robert Long still has a cabinet Jesse hand made them as a wedding present. Didn''t John Chamberlin eventually return to Polk county to live out his life in the care of one of his children, or some such? cousin Ross >>> {{Kathy here again}} A little side note to Ross's note... Yes John CHAMBERLAIN did return to Polk Co., he had written a letter to son John Wesley CHAMBERLAIN in 1889 (obviously a response to a request for information regarding his family) and it referred to his sisters and brothers (who seemingly did not accompany him from Ireland in 1831/2 with he and his sisters (Susan, Jane, Fannie & Marie). He referred to the brothers as Richard and "Offie" (probably short for Theophelis, my guess anyway) being younger than he. He stated that he had not heard from his family in quite a long time. In my own research, I did find one of the older sisters, Jane, who married a James TWIST and resided in PA and OH. I have corresponded with a descendant of them. As far as the others, I have not been able to verify their existances. As far as going further back on the father James SMITH and your gggg grandmother Elizabeth WRIGHT. I haven't been so lucky. Smiths in Virginia seem to have been a dime a dozen ;-) I had better luck on my gggg grandmother's line - as my gggg Mariah KEELE was daughter of Isaac KEELE & Patience KERR (d/o James KERR & Patience WELLS). The WELLS line has been facinating. I still think that it is entirely possible that the SMITHs were there as well, but separating and dissecting them all is discouraging, so I quickly lose interest..... sigh. Maybe you might have better luck! I think that Elizabeth WRIGHT's line is trackable. Since she is not my line, I have not pursued them, but I did find traces of them in my researching. Many of the Oregon Trail folks intermingled for many years prior to their trip to Oregon Territory in the 1840s, many of the names I find with my family in Oregon, are together when I trace them back to MO, IL, KY, VA and everywhere else.

Dear Listers, This query may be directed more in the area of Yamhill, Clackamas, and Washington. I am looking for the brother and two sons of Levi Washington Gregg. I am also looking for the gravesites of Jesse Parrish and his wife, Christina Shuck Parrish. Levi's wife, Susannah Smith, died on the trail in 1852, as did his mother, Elizabeth Roberts Gregg, and his father, John Gregg. The family arrived in Oregon on Oct. 25, 1852. (DLC) This group was, at least: Levi, daughter Urania, 6 years old who later married James McConnell in Oregon, two sons William Gregg born about 1848, and John Gregg, born about 1851. also, Levi's sisters Polly Ann and her husband Philip Winters, and Almeda, married to Joseph Badley. Also, Levi's brother, William Gregg, born in about 1835. Levi later married Jane Parrish Heater in Dec. 1861. . They divorced in 1868. Levi then took with him to California his four infant children by Jane; Silas Gregg, 5; Jeris Gregg, 4; twins Riley and Delilah Gregg, 2. Where did his sons William and John go? What happened to them? Does anyone have these two Greggs in their family file? I have not been able to find the burial locations of Jesse Parrish and his wife, Christina Shuck Parrish. Thank you for taking a look. I will share info I have on this family. Barbara Harvey in California great-granddaughter of Levi, who died in California in 1902.
