Marilyn, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if your ancestors that came Oct 1853 from Jackson Co., MO knew my ancestors the Savage, Tucker, Prine, Dealy, Foren, knew your family.And of course, I should probably mention the RAYs, as Alicy Dealy Prine married as 2nd husband Wm. Ray who was ancestor of many in Linn Co. The above mentioned family members of mine settled in Linn Co., and theirhome before departure on OREGON Trail was Jackson Co., Missouri!
