We are interested in updating the Reconstructed list of member's of the train that was compiled by Marjorie Ellis Miles in 1993 . The list is far from complete and we are hoping that new research by descendents can help add to it. Many of these came from Mahaska, Co., Iowa and settled in Baker Union and Linn Co., OR and Walla Walla and Columbia Co., WA. The reconstructed list was compiled from personal family histories, 3 diaries written on the trail: Hamilton Scott's Diary, The Diary of J. S.

My Hall's are from Tennessee and Texas, I am back as far as Samuel W. Hall b. 1808 TN. The first two of his seven children were born in Bedford Co. TN, the rest were born in Coffee Co. TN [it is not know yet if this family moved from one county to the next, as Coffee Co. was a part of Bedford before being created around I beleive 1832]. I have found Samuel as far back as the 1830 census of Bedford Co. TN. Just before 1870 Samuel and some of his grown children are said to have moved to near San Fransico, CA. While his oldest son [my 3rd g. gr'dpa] William C. Hall b. 1828 moved on to Lampasas Co., TX. I have more data on several of W.C. Hall's decsendants, in case anyone might have a connection here . . . . *********************************** a dweller on the path by the hedge . . . *********************************** your friend in Christ; Ken Hedgpeth Arcadia, California I am somewhat new to this internet access but have been researching my genealogy off and on since 1970 . . . The surname's of interest listed here from Irving on ward to the end of my list are primarily of Massachusetts area then back across that big lake to Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales.
