Diana and William did indeed go west, but to Cowlitz County, Washington (not Oregon). He made the land claim in 1850; they were married in 1856. The homestead site (a Donation Land Claim) is near the town now called West Kelso, in the area called Lexington. I will go to GenWeb and have a look for that book. Sincerely, Nancy McCorkle Miller Bellevue, Washington
