To all Trail Nuts! From LIST MOM :) Margarita Solazzo (margarita@capellasolazzo.com) a new subsciber has requested some info on your "Children of the OREGON TRAIL". This will just be used for an Elementary school project in California so her school can make connections to kids like themselves who traveled the Oregon Trail. They will be pretending to be specific kids. I think this is a worth while project but it must be complete THIS WEEK! Sorry, not a whole lot of time. BUT, I'd like to keep this subject going for a bit longer for OUR OWN USE ALSO. Everyone agree? Info needed of course would be name, birthdate/place, how old when traveled the Oregon Trail and when traveled, stories, etc. No info is allowed to be used for any other reason other than this Elementary school kids project, My own "Children of the OREGON TRAIL request" responses will follow this email immediatley... I had fun with this! PLEASE be sure to include her email adress ABOVE if you can allow her to use this info for her Elementary school project, Margarita Solazzo understands that. Have fun!

All my relations; (#1) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Two kids who traveled the Oregon Trail from Missouri to Oregon in 1852: Peter BILYEU, who was 15 years old then. He was born 5 Aug 1837 in Miller County, MO. His younger brother Martin Van Buren BILYEU was 13 years old in 1852. He was born in 1839 in Miller County, MO also. These two kids traveled with their older brothers and sisters (12 chilren total) and parents: William BILYEU who was born in 1795 in KY and mother Dianna COKER BILYEU who was born on 30 Dec 1816 in Overton County, TN. The father William was a farmer and miller, and had fought in the War of 1812 with the Western Tennessee Militia Volunteers in General Jackson's campaign against the Creek Indians. This family of 12 children and many other cousins, aunts & uncles traveled together with their ox tteams and wagons in 1852, leaving Missouri there were 52 family members altogether and they all arrived on Sept 16th, 1852 and settled in the small town of Scio, in Linn County, OR. The trip on the Oregon Trail took over 6 months and most of the family walked!
