And from there many went on to Oregon. Absalom Hembree was one the Oregon bound members. He was killed by Indians about 10 after arriving in the Willamette Valley. One of his descendants became an early newspaper reporter there and many of his articles can still be found the state archives.

Hi All. Im looking for any help i can get with my Plemens line in the Roane Co area. James Newton Plemens was born in July 1866 TN. I found a marriage for him in 1887 Roane Co to a Eva Zoe Orery, born Jan 1867 TN or KY. I believe the Orery name is a misspelling. I cant find any Orerys online. James can be found on the 1900 and 1920 census in Roane also. His children were: Millard C born Sept 1888, Mary E born Oct 1891, James R born Apr 1894, Amanda L born Sept 1896, Daniel born May 1899, Lydia born 1903, Bertha born 1905, Horace born 1907 and finally Clara born 1915. Names on census for James include Plemmons, Plemens, Plemings. Im looking for any info on his parents or any other relatives. I have nothing on James prior to 1887.Thanks so much, Ronnie
