Does anyone, by chance, have information about this group of pioneers: who else was in the party, significant events that occurred during the crossing, etc.? Would appreciate any information. Please respond to my e-mail address: [email protected] Please also respond to the list -- others (such as I<G>) are looking for 1860s wagon train information might find a new clue. My particular interest is in James SMITH and his wife Rebecca "Jane" MATHEW Smith, who traveled from their home in Iowa in 1864. Thanks, Beth Perry Johnston Newport, Oregon
