    3. 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
