St. Joseph Companies:
In early May 1845, the Oregon bound emigrant companies starting from the the St. Joseph, Mo area totaled, according to the St. Joseph paper, 223 wagons, 954 persons, with 545 firearms, 9,425 cattle, and 108 horses and mules. John Clark was hired as pilot for the journey to the junction with the Independence-to-Oregon trail. The elected captains for the companies from the St. Joseph rendezvous were:

[1]: Captain William G. T'Vault, left St. Joseph, Missouri with [according to Bancroft 61 wagons and 300 persons]. John Waymire was lieutenant and James Allen was sergeant.

[2]: Captain Solomon Tetherow with 66 wagons and 293 persons. Hardin D. Martin was lieutenant. They organized under the name "Savannah Oregon Emigrating Society" with Rev. William Helm, chairman and Rev. Lewis Thompson, secretary. Records kept by the company indicate that there were 100 armed men, 293 persons [63 females over 14, 56 under 14, 68 males under 16], 66 wagons, 170 guns and pistols, 1,022 cattle (398 oxen, 624 loose cattle); 74 mules and horses.

[3]: Captain Abner Hackleman, left St. Joseph, Missouri [note: sometimes confused with son Abram/Abraham Hackleman who came in 1847 *6] with approximately 52 wagons, 214 persons and 666 head of cattle and a few horses. This company organized under the name "New London Emigrating Company".

The companies leaving from Independence traveled to about three miles from the Kansas near the bank of the Big Soldier creek, where, by prearrangement, the "main company" was to organize, and elect officers. It was estimated that there were approximately 233 wagons, 421 males, 138 females, 448 children [totaling 1007 persons], 3,261 cattle, and 182 horses. On May 15th, Dr. Presley Webb was elected Captain and Stephen H.L. Meek was retained as pilot for $2.50 per wagon. On May 19th a reorganization took place and the company was divided into three divisions. Each division would take a turn traveling in advance for a week at a time. Captain Presley was to accompany whichever train was in the lead; but each division was to choose its own officers.

[4] Capt. Presley Welch, left Independence, Missouri

[5] Capt. Joel Palmer, left Independence, Missouri

[6] Capt. Samuel K. Barlow, left Independence, Missouri

[7.] Capt. Samuel Parker, left St. Joseph, Missouri

[8] Capt. Lawrence Hall, left Independence, Missouri

[9] Capt. Levin English & Capt. John Stewart, left Independence, Missouri

[10] Capt. William McDonald, left Independence, Missouri

[11] California Party led by Capt. John Henry Brown, Capt Grigsby and Capt. Ide. One of the trains which started from Independence, MO but traveled apart from the "main company" consisted of 38 wagons and approximately 1,000 head of loose cattle. The train was reportedly under the direction of John Henry Brown, a seasoned traveler from California, who had gone to live among the Cherokees in 1840, then journeyed overland to California in 1843 with a party of Cherokee fur traders. After returning east in 1844 he had joined the emigrant party for a return trip to California. Capt. Brown led the company as far as Fort Laramie where he was replaced by Capt. William B. Ide. *5, *8

"Pioneer road-builder, was leader of the wagon train that in 1845 explored the immigrant trail across the Cascades south of Mt. Hood.  A Kentuckian, he came to Oregon chiefly out of disappointment over Henry Clay's failure in his efforts for the presidency.  Barlow, with his family of four children and wife, Susannah Lee, joined the Oregon migration in Illinois--some 5000 strong.  Reaching The Dalles and the supposed end of the wagon road, Barlow, a man of confidence and self-will, determined to try the untried, and in company with William Rector, his family, and a few others--19 adults, besides children--struck out through the mountains for the Willamette settlements.  'God never made a mountain that he didn't make a way to get over it.', was his belief.  The start was made in early October and after ten weeks of arduous struggles Oregon City was reached on Christmas Day. but the wagons had been left behind in the mountains.  The following year Barlow and Philip Foster obtained a charter for the development of this 80 mile route, and thereafter many immigrants entered Oregon by the Barlow Road.  It became a toll road in 1846, but proved unprofitable since many of those using it lacked their payment price and in after years forgot to pay the tolerant keeper.  In 1848 he purchased the donation claim of Thomas McKay, on the Willamette above Oregon City, which he sold to his son William four years later.  Samuel Barlow was an independent Whig, moral and honest but generally unconventional.  He died at Canemah and was buried on the old Barlow homestead."

"Founder of Barlow townsite, railroad contractor, farmer and merchant, was the son of Susannah Lee and Samuel K. Barlow of Barlow Road fame.  Arriving at Oregon City on Christmas eve, 1845, he soon busied himself in a number of enterprises.  In 1852 he bought from his father the land claim on which the community was to stand.  Thereafter he speculated in land; and in the 1850s operated steamboats on the upper Willamette; in 1851 with his brother-in-law, Absalom Hodges, he constrcuted the steamer Canemah, fourth steamboat built above Willamette Falls.  During the 1860s he resided at Oregon City, where he engaged in the mercantile business, returning to his Barlow farm in 1870.  At that time Ben Holladay was building the Oregon to California Railroad and Barlow secured railroad construction contracts from him amounting to $100,000.  In 1891, in partnership with his son Cassius, he platted the town of Barlow, but only a few lots were sold.  Early in Barlow's residence on this property, he planted and avenue of walnut trees from the road to his house, to please his wife Martha Ann Allen, who he married in 1852.  Previously twice-married, she brought to him one child by her first husband and two by her second.  Three more children resulted.  Barlow's early education was limited to winter attendance at public schools in Indiana."

BIGELOW, Sarah Ellis: m'd c1840 FLINT, Isaac A.; m2. 1847 COOPER, James; m3. 1860 HARRIS, Granville; d/o Daniel and Emma (Johnston) Bigelow; twin sister of Emma Bigelow; Sarah and her husband Isaac had left their eldest son, Eugene, with Sarah's brother, Daniel, in Milwaukee, WI.  The Flints cutoff for California where John Sutter issued Isaac Flint a fianza (permission to remain in California).  They went to Bales' Rancho Carne Humana (near Yountville, still there) where Flint helped build the mill (Bale's Mill) still there and a state historic landmark.  James Clyman records meeting them there in his journal.  After the winter of 1846, Isaac Flint went north to Oregon carrying letters to Fremont from Bale and others seeking to bring him and his company of riflemen back to California to take part in a rebellion against the Mexican government.  Flint stayed in Oregon.  Sarah Flint and their son, Purdy, left Bale's Rancho for Sonoma.  In 1847 Alcalde Lillburn Boggs filed a notice of abandonment and impending divorce on Sarah Flint's behalf (against Isaac Flint), saying he would grant Sarah a divorce in six weeks.  Sarah was pregnant with James Cooper's child and she married Cooper sometime shortly after the divorce notice, but a record of decree has not been found (Alcalde or mayor's divorce action was ad hoc and; California territory was officially continuing to use Mexican law and there was no divorce in Mexican California). 
   In 1856 Sarah's husband James Cooper was murdered in Sonoma.  US census data has Sarah, James and their children there from the first census.  Their children were Thomas Spriggs Cooper, John Rose Cooper and Barbara Cooper (my great grandmother).  Sometime after the murder Purdy Flint, Sarah's son, appeared unannounced in Sonoma, offering to help his mother.  He had walked down from Oregon.  Around 1860 Sarah married Granville Harris.  She was pregnant with his child when he left her.

BORST, Joseph (15 Oct 1822-29 Oct 1885):: m'd c1854 ROUNDTREE, Mary Adeline; settled in Washington; buried Mountain View Cemetery, Centralia, Lewis County, Washington

"Borst left imprint on Centralia--By LARRY ZANDER--Chronicle Staff Writer--Joseph Borst came across the plains of mid-America in 1845 when he was a young man of 25. When he settled in what is now Centralia he was to leave an imprint on the history of the area, and now a wellknown park at the location of his first home is his namesake. Joseph Borst was-born 154 years ago today, Oct. 17, 1821, in the Schoharie Valley of New York State.  He crossed the nation to the Northwest with the Ford family for whom' Fords Prairie has. been named..  Joseph had become "sweet" on one of ford's daughters but that union was not to be and the young man was nearly heart-broken.. But good fortune was still to be his. Mary Adeline, his future bride, got her first glimpse of her husband to be when he came to her father's sawmill on Black River to buy lumber.  In 1854, when she was but 16 and he 33, the two were married. In the fall of 1855, the new couple, with their six-week-old baby, rushed to a partially completed stockade that was later to be known as Fort Borst.  It was near the site of the presentday park. The blockhouse from the fort rests in the park today.  The expected skirmishes with nearby Indians never came to pass and not long after their arrival at the fort, Joseph Borst began to construct for his family what was to become one of the finer homes far and wide..  Although Borst was spared battle with Indians in the Centerville area, he had had his share of skirmishes with them earlier.  He was captured by hostile Indians in British Territory where he had gone in the early 50s to search for gold. He had been one of the '49ers in California prior to going north.  He had also fought in the Cayuse War in 1848 in an attempt to avenge the Whitman Massacre. He had enlisted with every able-bodied man in the territory and his company of Oregon riflemen had been stationed at Fort Waters at Waiilatpu." [The Daily Chronicle, Centralia, Washington, Friday.

BRISTOW FAMILY RESEARCHER:      
BRISTOW, Elijah (28 Apr 1788-19 Sep 1872): m'd 07 Nov 1812 GABBERT, Susan; s/o James and Delilah (Elkins) Bristow; cutoff for California in 1845; wife and children (except for Henry) joined him in 1848; buried Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Pleasant Hill, Lane County, Oregon

"First settled in Lane County and founder of the communicty of Pleasant Hill, came to Oregon from California in the spring of 1846.  Born in Virginia, he was accustomed by long residence in mountainous regions to the rugged life of a woodsman, and as an expert hunter and rifleman distinguished himself as a sharpshooter in War of 1812 and the Creek Indian War.  He went from Kentucky to Illinois, living there nearly 23 years, when he crossed the plains to California in 1845.  In June, 1846, with Eugene F. Skinner, Capt. Felix Scott, and William Dodson he explored the upper Willamette Valley country, seeking a home location, and selecting a site between the Coast and Middle forks of the Willamette.  This, because of the beauty of the landscape, he called Pleasant Hill, later donating land for the first school and first church in Lane County.  Here with his family he remained the rest of his life, admired and respected.  The father of several sons and daughters by his wife Susannah Gabbart, whom he married in 1812; he died at age 73.  He and his wife sleep in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, on land first theirs." [Dictionary of Oregon History edited by Howard McKinley Corning p. 35]

     "The first white settler within the present boundary lines of Lane county was Elijah Bristow, who here cast his lot in June, 1846. From that date until about the year 1850, all of the facts of much of the incident of its early settlement clusters around this individual; so much so, that, for the present, our account of it during the above period will necessarily take on much of the traits of a personal narrative.
    This pioneer settler was born in Virginia in April, 1788, emigrating early in manhood to Kentucky and thence to Illinois. Imbued with a spirit of adventure inherited from his ancestors and fostered by his early associations, he was ever restless under the influences of thickly settled districts and soon determined to push farther westward, crossing the plains in 1845. Going first to California, he was dissatisfied with that country and came overland to Oregon the following spring, 1846. In June of that year, accompanied by Eugene F. Skinner, Captain Felix Scott, and William Dodson, Mr. Bristow started up the Willamette valley in search of a location suitable for the settlement of a large and increasing family. Their route was up the west side of the valley and after passing the Luckiamute river, not a white man's habitation was found; thence going south to the end of their journey. The country through which they traveled was one of the most beautiful on the northwest coast of the Pacific, and habitated as it was in all the luxurious freshness of nature, was peculiarly fascinating to these intrepid explorers.
    On arriving at a point between the Coast and Middle Forks of the Willamette river, on a low rolling ridge, sparsely covered with oak, fir and pine timber, ever since know as Pleasant Hill, Mr. Bristow's eye was attracted towards the panorama of mountain and vale stretching out before him that reminded him of a like scene in far-off Virginia, where he was born. He halted and raised his hat, allowing the cooling breeze, fresh from the near rolling Pacific to play at will through his thin gray locks, he exclaimed: 'This is my claim! Here I will live, and when I die, here shall I be buried!'
    The party then camped at a spring near by and repairing to a grove of firs, cut the logs, erected what was in those early times termed a claim cabin, and which stood as a sign to all comers that here had a white man filed his intentions, so to speak, of becoming a settler upon the public domain. This was the first cabin erected within the present limits of Lane county.
    Mr. Bristow next measured off and marked his claim of six hundred and forty acres of land, the amount usually claimed by early settlers in a new country, which was done by stepping around the track, the marking being accomplished by blazing the trees adjacent to the lines and driving stakes at the corners. Mr. Dodson then marked off a claim for himself, south and east from and adjoining that of Mr. Bristow, while Capt. Scott appropriated one on the west, but this afterwards abandoned and took one up on the south bank of the McKenzie river, opposite the mouth of the Mohawk, upon which he finally settled.
    As the party returned, on their way down the valley, Eugene F. Skinner, the remaining comrade, took up a claim where Eugene City, the county seat, now stands." [Illustrated History of Lane County by A.G. Walling p.475]

"CORNELIUS, T. R--Born in Missouri in 1827; is the son of Benjamin Cornelius.  He came with his parents to Oregon, and three years later entered the Cayuse war as a volunteer and was in all the actions with the Indians during that war. In 1855 he enlisted in the Yakima war and served as captain of a company three months when Col. Nesmith resigned and he was elected to fill the vacancy, and held that position during the remainder of the war. In 185 ft was elected to the Territorial Council, and served until the State was admitted; was then sent into the State Senate and elected to every session of the Legislature until 1876, but was out one term during the war, when himself and two others were authorized by  President Lincoln to raise a cavalry regiment for the United States service. He was elected colonel of the regiment. The regular troops being ordered east, Col. Cornelius was placed in command of the post at Walla Walla in 1862; during the summer he resigned and returned to his home. He has twice served as President of the Senate. In 1876 he resigned public duties and returned to private life. In 1872 he had removed from his farm to the town of Cornelius, in Washington County, it having been laid out the preceding year and named for the colonel. A large warehouse had been built in 1871 and the railroad was built through the town in 1872. The colonel opened a store there in 1872, which is now conducted by his son, Thomas S., and his son-in-law, G. H. Shaw. The colonel was married in 1850 to Miss Florentine Wilkes, by whom he had six children; she died in 1864; he married again in 1866 to Miss Missouri A. Smith. The colonel is now a resident of Cornelius; owns three farms aggregating eleven hundred and forty -eight acres, and two unimproved farms of three hundred and sixty acres, a saw mill, warehouse, and store." [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p.634-5]

"Indian fighter and farmer, ws born in Missouri, and in 1845, came with his parents, Benjamin and Elizabeth Cornelius, to Oregon.  They located on land four miles north of what later became the town of Cornelius, named for Thomas.  Following news of the Whitman Massacre he enlisted to fight in the Cayuse Indian War, after which he went to the California gold fields.  Bakc in Oregon in 1849 he married Florentine Wilkes, and filed on 640 acres of land which then became his home until 1871.  When the Yakima Indian War broke out in 1855 he again enlisted, as captain, but was soon elected colonel.  He served notably.  He served in the territorial council 1856-57, then in the state senate until 1876.  Moving into the town of Cornelius in 1872, he opened a general store, and owned also a sawmill, warehouse, and three farms aggregating 1500 acres.  He married a second time in 1866, to Missouri Smith.  He had six children by his first wife."

FLINT FAMILY RESEARCHER:
FLINT, Eugene (1841- ):

FLINT, Isaac A. (1816-1892): m1. c1840 BIGELOW, Sarah E.; m2. 1853 PHINNEY, Emeline L.; Isaac and Sarah Flint had left their eldest son, Eugene, with Sarah's brother, Daniel, in Milwaukee, WI.  The Flints cutoff for California where John Sutter issued Isaac Flint a fianza (permission to remain in California).  They went to Bales' Rancho Carne Humana (near Yountville, still there) where Flint helped build the mill (Bale's Mill) still there and a state historic landmark.  James Clyman records meeting them there in his journal.  After the winter of 1846, Isaac Flint went north to Oregon carrying letters to Fremont from Bale and others seeking to bring him and his company of riflemen back to California to take part in a rebellion against the Mexican government.  Flint stayed in Oregon.  Sarah Flint and their son Purdy left Bale's Rancho for Sonoma.  In 1847 Alcalde Lillburn Boggs filed a notice of abandonment and impending divorce on Sarah Flint's behalf (against Isaac Flint), saying he would grant Sarah a divorce in six weeks.  Sarah was pregnant with James Cooper's child and she married Cooper sometime shortly after the divorce notice (Alcalde or mayor's divorce action was ad hoc and; California territory was officially continuing to use Mexican law and there was no divorce in Mexican California). 
   Flint wrote a journal of a trip returning to Oregon after a trip down to the California gold fields that is published by University of Mississippi press.  In 1852 Isaac Flint came back down to Sonoma and, according to a WPA oral history, kidnapped Purdy.  Bancroft's history of Oregon says Flint traveled from Oregon in 1852 to Panama, crossed the Isthmus, made his way across the Gulf of Mexico, up the Mississippi and back to Milwaukee where he claimed his other son, Eugene (I'm surmising Eugene was with Sarah's brother who is the only Bigelow family member who remained in Milwaukee, father and brothers returning to Nova Scotia about the same time Sarah and Isaac set out for St. Louis and then West). 
  Flint's either not knowing Sarah had divorced him, or not accepting the validity of the divorce he had filed for divorce from Sarah in 1851 or 1852 in Oregon.  Isaac married Emeline Phinney while in WI.  Isaac, Emeline, Eugene and Purdy walked back to Oregon.  The Flints settled in Oregon and Flint supported himself as a carpenter and pastored a church.

LOWNSDALE, Daniel Hillman (1803-1862): m1. 1826 OVERFIELD, Ruth; m2. 1850 GILLIHAN, Nancy Mrs.; co-founder of Portland; tanner, real-estate developer, philanthropist; first wife died before the emigration to Oregon; married his second wife in Oregon; note that, although this name is often found spelled "Lounsdale", the correct spelling is "Lownsdale".

"LOWNSDALE, DANIEL H.--Born in Marion County, Kentucky, April 8, 1803. Married, at the age of twenty-three, Miss Ruth Overt!eld, and removed to Gibson County, Indiana. Here his wife died in 1830, leaving three children a boy ( J. P. O. Lownsdale, of Portland), and two girls.  After traveling in the south and in Europe, he set out for Oregon in 1845; arriving late in the year, he immediately took a land claim near the site of Portland, then a wilderness and untrodden by whites. This claim is now known as the Amos King claim, and adjoined that of Lovejoy and Pettygrove. In 1848 he purchased the site of Portland from F. W. Pettygrove, paying five thousand dollars doubtless then an extravagant price. In 1850 he married Mrs. Nancy Gillihan and had by her two children M. O. Lownsdale, now of Portland, and Mrs. Ruth Hoyt, of Columbia County.  Mr. Lownsdale held several public positions, among them that of U. S. Postal Agent in Fillmore s administration; and he also had a seat in the Legislature. Died May 4, 1862." [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p.639]

"PALMER, JOEL--Born in Canada, in 1810, of parents who were residents of New York; moved in early life to Indiana, and resided there for many years, becoming in 1844 a member of the State Legislature.  In the spring of 1845 he set out for Oregon, arriving in the fall of the year. His errand was to view the country; and so well was he pleased, that in the following year he returned home, proposing to bring out his family. In 1847 the Palmer emigration took place accordingly, which derives its name from his leadership, which he attained from his knowledge of the way. A large number of people constituted the party, among whom were Messrs. Geer and Grim, of Marion County, the Grahams and Collards, and Christopher Taylor, of Yamhill, and others. Arriving again in Oregon, General Palmer took up a donation claim upon the Yamhill River, and laid out the town of Dayton. When the Whitman massacre occurred he joined the volunteer forces and was chosen quartermaster and commissary general, and served throughout the Cayuse war, thus earning the title of general.  Subsequently he held the position of Superintendent of Indian Affairs. For several terms he was a member of the Legislature, and in 1870 was Republican candidate for Governor of Oregon, but was defeated. He was twice married, and his second wife and seven of their children survived him. Gen. Palmer died June 9, 1881." [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p.642-3]

"PENTLAND, ROBERT--Born in Newcastle, England, in 1820; came to the United States in 1844 and joined the Oregon immigration of the succeeding year.  Arriving on the Willamette, he took charge of a grist mill at Oregon City belonging to George Abernethy, and continued therewith until 1849, when he paid a visit to California. Settled next on a donation claim near Albany, and engaged in flour milling and merchandising at that place. In 1855 he become a partner with Abernethy and Leander Holmes in the purchase of the Linn City property at the Willamette Falls. They erected the largest flouring mill in Oregon; at the same time Mr. Pentland owned an interest in the Portland water works with Stephen Coffin. In 1860 the Linn City improvements were destroyed by fire, and as soon as the transportation works were renewed by Mr. Pentland in company with Colonel Kelly, the great flood of 1861-62 washed all away. Mr. Pentland then removed to The Dalles and engaged in business for fifteen years, building, among other structures, two flouring mills.  In 1878 he purchased the flouring mill at Scio, Linn County, and now runs it besides a sash and door and furniture factory. Married Miss Jane Law at Newcastle, England, in 1841. She died in 1875, and the next year he wedded Mrs. Eliza E. Reynolds, a native of Maine. Has two children living Mrs. S. L. Brooks, of The Dalles, and E. C. Pentland, of Alkali, Wasco County." [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p.643]

    "JAMES WILLIAM ROGERS, who came to Oregon in 1845, and is one of the most highly respected citizens of Yam Hill county, was born in Indiana, April 13, 1821. His father, Lewis Rogers, was born in Kentucky and reared in Indiana; and the grandfather of our subject, Aquilla Rogers, was one of the pioneer of the state of Kentucky. The ancestors of the family have been prosperous farmers, and mostly members of the Christian denomination. Lewis Rogers married Miss Nancy A. Richards, a native of Indiana, and the daughter of Zadok Richards; this family were Tennesseans.
   Mr. Rogers, whose name heads this sketch, was the second of nine children of the above family, and the eldest son. He was brought up on a farm in Indiana. In 1840 he went to Iowa, where he was employed by his father, and put in crops on shares; in 1845, in company with his brother and a brother-in-law, and a neighbor, he started with ox teams and three wagons on the long journey across the continent toward the "sunset land." The journey was successful. After crossing the Missouri river they forded every stream until they reached the DesChutes river, which they crossed by making a raft of canoes lashed together. Indeed, Mr. Rogers enjoyed the journey very much. They killed buffalo and antelope, and the bitter experiences so common on such tedious expeditions were so few and light that he looks back on the whole trip with scarcely any feeling but that of pleasure.
   Coming to Yam Hill county, he took a donation land claim a mile and a half southwest of where now stands the beautiful city of McMinnville. (No town was then thought of at that point.) Mr. Cozine and wife were his nearest neighbors. He erected a small log house and began life as a bachelor. After living in this way two or three years he married, December 21, 1848, Miss Mary E. Henderson, the daughter of Jesse C. Henderson, who came to Oregon the same year that he did. He continued to reside upon this farm making improvements and raising stock and grain, being successful and enjoying the respect of many acquaintances.
   He had seven children, four sons and three daughters. One died in infancy: J. O. is now employed in the Recorder's office at McMinnville; Jane Ann is the wife of Isaac Collard, and resides near her father; Priscilla E. married Frank Collard, and resides in Washington; Lewis and Frank are druggists in McMinnville; and Thomas is with his brothers in the drug store.
   In addition to his other farming, Mr. Rogers has turned his attention to horticulture and is now raising large quantities of choice fruit. The growth of this thriving city of McMinnville has enhanced the value of his property, and from time to time he has disposed of subdivisions of his land, but he still retains 190 acres, on which he settled forty-seven years ago. And during this long period he has been thoroughly identified with every movement intended to build up the interests of the town and vicinity, taking stock in every financial enterprise that he considered a good movement. He was one of the builders of the McMinnville, a steamboat built to convey freight and passengers to and from Portland; he helped organize the Grange, took stock in its enterprises and was its Chaplain for several years. When the Baptist college was started he aided it liberally, and, in fact, he has uniformly exhibited by his deeds his willingness to contribute to the welfare of McMinnville.
   Mr. Rogers made a public profession of Christianity in the year 1851. He joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, where he still continues [as] a member and Elder, which office he has filled for more than twenty years. He is now in his seventy-first year, in the enjoyment of good health, of active intellect, kind-hearted, social and in every was a worthy citizen and a good representative of the Oregon Pioneers of 1845.
   Mrs. Rogers died February 25, 1869, and Mr. Rogers remained single until December 29, 1878, when he married Miss Mary A. Small, a native of southwest Missouri, and the daughter of Henry and Mary A. (McCall) Small; her father was a Kentuckian, and her mother was a native of Tennessee; and her grandfather came from Scotland." [An Illustrated History of the State of Oregon by  Harvey K. Hines, Lewis Pub. Co., 1893, pp 1881-82 contributed by Tracey Saucy]

"ROGERS, JAMES W.--Lives near McMinnville, Yamhill County, and is a farmer by occupation. He was born in Indiana, April 13, 1821; moved to Iowa in 1839; six years later came to Oregon and settled at McMinnville. He married Mary E. Henderson in 1849. She died in 1809, and in 17S he married Mary A. Small. Their children s names are James O., June A.. Priscilla E., Lewis J., Thomas H., Cora B., and Frank."

In the year after his arrival he was made Circuit Judge of Oregon under the Provisional Government. The salary of this office was originally fixed at $200, but it is said that it was raised to $800 to induce Judge Skinner to accept the place. Peter H. Burnett, afterward Governor of California, was Supreme Judge of Oregon, but resigned because Judge Skinner received the largest salary. Skinner was a Whig originally, but became a Republican on the formation of that party. From 1851 to 1853 he was Indian Agent, and was located in the Rogue River Valley, where he took up the first donation land claim recorded in that section. In 1853 he was candidate for Delegate to Congress, against Joseph Lane, by whom he was badly beaten. From 1862 to 1864 he was clerk of Lane County. He was esteemed a well-read lawyer, modest and unassuming, and of good morals and fine feelings." [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p.647]

     "SWEET BROTHERS. Three young men, of practical, clear-cut methods and forceful characteristics, are left to represent the name of Sweet, which was that of one of the early pioneers of Oregon, and for many years a resident of Lane county. The sons; Wallace G., Cecil Z. and Marion J., now own three hundred and twenty acres of land in the neighborhood of Point Terrace, Lane county, upon which they have put all the improvements and the intelligent cultivation which have placed their property in the front rank of land-owners in this section of the valley. They are now engaged in general farming and stock-raising, and also exert their energies in the fisheries during the fall of the year, and carry on some logging, all eager to finish honorably and profitably the work which their father undertook as a pioneer.
   The father, Z. T. Sweet, is well remembered among the old pioneer element of the country, for he took part in many of the movements which voiced the sentiment of the citizens and advanced the cause of civilization in the west, being the first man in Lane county to raise the flag of the country, for which they were willing to undergo all the hardships and privations incident to the settlement of a new state, and he also raised the first flag in the state of Washington.  Mr. Sweet was born in Pittsburg, Pa., November 2, 1815, and when a young man he started toward the western states, becoming a house-builder and contractor in Ohio. From that state he emigrated to Knox county, Ill., and there met and married Maria Stephens, who was born near Montreal, Canada, September 12, 1819, a representative of a Scotch-Irish family, a member of which served in the war of 1812 and participated in the battle of Lundy's Lane. The young people remained in Illinois until 1845, when they outfitted for the trip across the plains, having three yoke of oxen and necessary supplies. They joined a train composed of one hundred wagons and set out upon the journey which was destined to be full of danger and hardship, and fraught with the perils incident to such an undertaking. Undertaking to shorten the journey by Meek's cut-off, they passed through many perils and nearly starved to death before reaching their destination. They were six months in reaching Oregon, and only seven of the wagons remained together. The first winter in the west was spent in Oregon City and they continued to make that their home until the fall of 1848, when the father went to California and became interested in the future of that fair state.  In the spring of the following year the family removed to the south and the father continued to engage in mining until the spring of 1850, when he returned to Portland, having met with gratifying success in his venture. The same year he located a donation claim of six hundred and forty- acres two miles east of Eugene, Lane county, and engaged in the less strenuous life of a farmer until 1857. Disposing of his property he once more removed to California, purchasing a farm in Sonoma county, where he remained for two years, becoming a resident of Eugene at the expiration of that time, where he engaged in mercantile business. In the fall of 1859 he returned to California, and three years later returned to Oregon and went to the Salmon river mines, his family being left in the city of Eugene. After five months he went to Grande Ronde and remained for two years.  Upon again locating in Eugene Mr. Sweet remained until 1866, when he removed to Yaquina Bay, and made that the home of the family for a year, and then became residents of Davisville, Cal. In the fall of 1869 the family returned to Illinois on a visit, where they remained for five years, at the end of which time they again settled in their last home. In the fall of 1875 they returned to Eugene, and remained until in November, 1878, when Mr. Sweet took up one hundred and sixty acres of land located five miles southwest of Mapleton, of this county, upon which his death occurred, in September, 1892 (sic 1887 per estate records), the mother also dying here. Of the four sons born to them, the oldest is Wallace G., who was born in Knox county, IL., October 14, 1843, and received his education in the public schools of Eugene: he remained with his parents throughout their life and since their death has made his home upon this place. The second son was William, the first white child born in Sacramento, Cal. ; the third son is Cecil Z., who was born in Lane county, Ore., two miles east of Eugene, January 20, 1854, his education being also received in the schools of that city ; the youngest son was Marion J., who was born at Petaluma, Sonoma county, Cal., in 1860, his education being received through the medium of the schools of Illinois while his parents were visiting old scenes. He affiliates with the Woodmen, holding membership with the lodge at Acme. Politically they are in accord, all stanch adherents of the principles of the Democratic party, Marion J. Sweet having served as road supervisor in the interests of the party. [Portrait and Biographical Record of the Willamette Valley p.1527-1528]

�JOHN SWITZLER. No history of Oregon would be complete without the record of John Switzler, who, through pioneer times, was an active and important factor in the work of development and progress, and whose labors proved an excellent foundation upon which to build the later development of the state. He was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1776, and with his parents he emigrated to the United States in the year 1788. His natal year was that in which the Declaration of Independence was written, and it was only five years after the close of the Revolutionary war that he became a resident of the new world, the family settling in Virginia. They came originally from Switzerland, and there is probably not another family of the same name in all the world, those who bear this cognomen being closely related. John Switzler had obtained his education in Germany, and in early life he embarked in merchandising.  Removing westward to Missouri, he established a business of that character, but through going security for others he brought on failure in his own business. He then determined to seek a home in the far west, and in 1845, with the members of his family, he made the overland journey to Oregon, traveling for six months, during which time many hardships and trials were endured by the party. Mr. Switzler came with the intention of locating a donation claim, and on reaching his destination he secured six hundred and forty acres of land where the ferry to Vancouver is now located. His first house was of logs, but soon a better house was erected.  He established a ferry in 1846 and operated it for ten years, or until his death. It was known as Switzler ferry and became an important factor in the transfer business at an early day ; in fact, it was the first ferry operated on the Columbia river, and at his death his son succeeded him in the business, conducting the ferry until they sold out to Mr. Knott, who was the proprietor until the ferry was purchased by the railroad company.
     In 1848, when the United States troops were sent to Oregon, there was a great demand for the supplies for the army, and Mr. Switzler and General Wilson, his son-in-law, supplied the wants of the troops, and through their sales became well-to-do. They purchased all of the cattle that emigrants wanted to sell, being prepared to take care of them, and thus, through the raising of stock, they were enabled to supply the troops and other customers with fresh meats.  Not only with early business interests was Mr. Switzler actively connected, but also with many other affairs of importance bearing upon the development and progress of this community. His aid and co-operation  were never sought in vain in behalf of measures for the general good, and along many lines his efforts proved of a most helpful character.
    Mr. Switzler was twice married. He first married Elizabeth Lee, and unto them were born three children : Elizabeth, who became the wife of Mr. MIitchell and went to Texas, where her death occurred ; Greenville, who died in Missouri, and Sarah, who became the wife of General Wilson and died in Oregon.  Mrs. Switzler passed away in Virginia and Mr. Switzler then took his children to Missouri to be cared for by a relative there. In that state he was again married, his second union being with Maria Robinson.  By this marriage there were six children Joseph, a farmer, who died in Oregon in 1869, leaving six children, of whom three were sons Jehu, a stock dealer of Umatilla, who has one daughter ; William, a merchant, who died in Pendleton, Ore., leaving three children, Edwin and two daughters ; Cynthia C, who became the wife of W. Nye and died in 1881 about a mile north of Vancouver, leaving seven children, two sons and five daughters ; John, a stockman living in Walla Walla, Wash., who has one son and three daughters ; Harriet, who is the wife of Adam Nye, of Pendleton, and has two daughters and two sons. In 1850 the mother of these children passed away and was buried on the old homestead farm. At the death of his daughter, Mrs. Wilson,. Mr. Switzler took her children to his own home and reared and educated them, they becoming students in the early schools of Portland. He was appointed executor of the estate of General and Mrs. Wilson, and at his death Jehu Switzler was appointed to succeed him. John Switzler built a schoolhouse on his land and hired a teacher to instruct his children and grandchildren. He was very liberal in his donations to the public interests of general importance.  Both he and General Wilson, with whom he was associated in business, greatly assisted the needy emigrants, and they always made it a point to find good homes for the orphan girls who came to this coast. The  Switzlers' household was a very hospitable one, and in it there was exemplified the true pioneer spirit which makes all welcome. Although pioneer conditions existed on every hand, Mr. Switzler courageously faced the situation, overcame the hardships and difficulties with which he was surrounded and made the most of his opportunities.  His labors proved of benefit to his community as well as to himself, and his name should be enduringly inscribed upon the pages of Oregon's pioneer history .� [Portrait and Biographical Record of Portland and Vicinity p.807-8]

SWITZLER, John B. (1839-1924): m'd 1866 SMOOT, Mary Ann; s/o John and Sara (Robinson) Switzler; *3 Meek Cutoff

     "WILLIAM H. SWITZLER, who is engaged in the lumber business and also conducts a ferry at Umatilla, has been a lifelong resident of this county, his birth having occurred in Pendleton, September l5, 1878.  He is a son of ,Iohn B. and Mary (Smoot) Switzler, both of whom were natives of Missouri. They crossed the plains at an early date, the mother locating in California.  The father was but seven years of age when he came west with his father and settled at Switzler Sloughs, opposite Vancouver. Later he went to California where he was married.  He subsequently removed to Montana, and established a pack train service between Umatilla, the head of navigation, and various places in Montana and Idaho. He was thus engaged for several years before he went to Portland which he did previous to his removal to Umatilla county, where he went into the ranching business with two brothers, William and John, under the style of The Switzler Company. He own seven hundred head of horses, although at one time he had several thousand. In Oregon and Washington the Switzler brothers formerly owned about twenty thousand head of horses.  At one time they sold eight thousand head to the Linton Cannery, for two dollars and fifty cents per head. They have always specialized in horses, although they handled some cattle. In 1900 .John R Switzler sold four thousand head of horse in Douglas county, Washington, and he has been disposing of his stock since that time as rapidly as possible.  He has real-estate interests in Walla Walla, Umatilla, Portland and Canada. He resides at No. 337 East Ninth street north, in Portland but his business interests are largely in Umatilla and eastern Oregon. To Mr. and Mrs. John B. Switzler four children were born: Delia, who is the wife of C. R. Farrell, of Sunnyside; Minnie, the wife of Frank Sharpstein. of Walla Walla, Washington; William H., the subject of this review; and Evelina, the wife of H. N. Dryer, of Umatilla.
     William H. Switzler passed his youth and boyhood in a manner similar to that of the average country boy of the west, attending school for a short time and assisting his father in whatever way he could. He is associated in business with his father and for the past year and one-half has owned and operated a ferry which plies the river between Umatilla and Plymouth, Washington.  He has also been identified with the lumber business for the past four years. He owns a small ranch across the Columbia river in Washington but his residence is in this county, where he has lived all his life. He displays the same keen judgment in raising and dealing in horses which won his father such remarkable success and his ability is already well recognized. He maintains a careful oversight and general supervision of his lumber interests.
     On the 15th of June, 1910, William H. Switzler was married to Miss Ellen O'Connell, a daughter of Joseph O'Connell, deceased.  He is recognized as one of the substantial citizens of Umatilla county, and deserving of the high reputation which he has gained for himself there."  [Centennial History of Oregon by Gaston Vol III p.827-8]
