During the long summer of 1849 there was an unbroken line of wagons reaching from horizon to horizon.  Cholera, scurvy, dysentry, accident, thirst, hunger, fatigue, Indian attack, quarrels, discouragement and other ills plagued these trains.  As in other years, all of these obstacles were offset by the hope for a better future in the form of gold or land.The majority of this endless line of humanity was aimed toward the promise of gold and riches in California.  It was estimated that over 35,000 individuals took part in this great overland migration.  Of these, only a very few turned off for Oregon.

 "Emigrant parties are coming in slowly from the mountains.  Inclusive of a company of 27 wagons, the arrival of which is daily expected, there have been 55 wagons arrived in this Valley.  Others are reported as coming." [October 18, 1849 Oregon Spectator]

"DEADY, MATTHEW P.--Born in Talbot County, Maryland, May 12, 1824. Removed to Ohio in 1837, and lived on a farm for several years, afterwards working as blacksmith and attending an academy at the same time. Began the study of law in 1845, and in 1847 was admitted to the Ohio bar. Crossed the plains in 1849, located in Yamhill County, and began to practice law. In 1850 he was elected a member of the lower house of the Legislature. In 1851 he defeated David Logan in the election for the Territorial Council, of which he was the presiding officer for two sessions. He held the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Oregon from 1853 until 1859. About 1854 he removed to Douglas County, and took up a donation claim near Winchester. Here he settled and occupied himself in agriculture as well as his legal pursuits. The people of that part of the country, his former neighbors, still have recollections of his studiousness and his entire devotion to the higher principles of his profession. Judge Deady was chosen a delegate from Douglas County to the Constitutional Convention, of which he was elected president. Upon the organization of the State, he was elected, without opposition, one of the justices of the Supreme Court, but being at nearly the same time appointed Judge of the United States District Court, he chose the latter position, and immediately removing to Portland, he assumed its duties, which he has ever since discharged with great and increasing reputation. His services to this State have been great and arduous. In 1862 he prepared the present code of civil procedure, and later the code of criminal procedure, both of which are now in force. He has given much time to the organization and support of educational and other useful institutions. He is president of the Portland Library Association, and president of the Board of Regents of the University of Oregon, at Eugene City. He has done much excellent and valuable literary work, outside of the preparation of his legal decisions, which are unsurpassed in clearness and value. Many historical subjects, principally relating to this State, have been adorned by his pen. All his acts have honored and benefited his adopted State, and he stands, to-day, Oregon s first citizen."

Gaines in negotiating treaties with Willamette Valley tribes, compiling a vocabulary of the Calapooya language.  In 1851 he went to California, made maps and reports of a semi-official nature, mining some gold, but returned to Astoria where he served as Collector of Customs, Jan. 1-June 30, 1853, and at Umpqua, 1854-57, then briefly again at Astoria, 1858.  His most worthwhile contribution was as ethnologist and geologist with Capt.

In 1850-51 he served in the Territorial Legislature at Oregon City, and subsequently became District Attorney, and Territorial Secretary until the State organization. Still later he became auditor of the claims growing out of the Cayuse war, and finally, in 1862, he was chosen United States Senator, and held that position three sessions. Soon after Mr. Harding abruptly quit politics and sought retirement upon his farm. He now resides in the suburbs of Salem, and devotes his time mainly to tilling the soil and to reading.

"LAFOLLETT, CHARLES--Is a practicing attorney at Sheridan, Yamhill County. He was born in Indiana in 1830; came to the Pacific Coast in 1849, and taught school in California at that early day; was also in the lumber business. After his arrival in Oregon he became a teacher of penmanship in the Pacific University. Married Mary A. Snodgrass in 1857; in 1858 moved to Polk County, and lived there until 1879, during which time he was admitted to the bar. Served in the Legislature in 1863, and was appointed captain by Governor Gibbs of a company of Oregon Infantry, who were stationed at Vancouver seven months, and then came to Yamhill, after wrhich he was sent east of the mountains and built Camp Polk. Returned to Dallas, and was appointed Indian Agent at Grand Ronde Agency, by General Grant, in which position he served four years.  In 1879 he came to Yamhill County and settled near Sheridan, where he still resides. His children are Edith, Olive, William G., Byron, and Hettie."  [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p. 810]

LANE, Elizabeth: m'd HILL, [   ]; traveled with  Hill party led by Isaac Hill , her son

LANE, Joseph B. Gen (1801-1881):

"LANE, JOSEPH--Born in North Carolina, December 14, 1801. Lived in his earlier years in Kentucky. Married Polly Hart in 1821, and set tled in Vanderburg County, Indiana, and for twenty-five years led the life of a farmer, representing his county in the Legislature for many sessions. When the Mexican war began, he was chosen colonel of the second regiment of Indiana Volunteers, and was commissioned as brigadier-general. He took part in General Taylor's campaigns, and in the battle of Buena Vista achieved distinction, and received a severe wound. Subsequently, while commanding independently a corps of men destined to reinforce General Scott, he defeated the Mexicans in several engagements. Before the war closed he had become major-general of volunteers. He returned to Indiana, but receiving the appointment of governor of the new Territory of Oregon, he set out immediately for the Pacific shore.  He came to California by way of Santa Fe and the Colorado River, accompanied by a military escort, and arriving in San Francisco in February, 1849, then taking passage to the Columbia on a sailing vessel, and arrived at Oregon City on the evening of the second of March, 1849.  The duties of his office were discharged with uncommon tact and justice until August of the same year when, a new administration having come into power, his successor, Governor Gaines, was appointed.  General Lane now spent some time as a miner in Northern California. In 1851 he was chosen Delegate to Congress. In 1853 he distinguished himself in the Rogue River war, and received a severe wound at the battle of Evans Creek.  The subsequent treaty with the Indians at Table Rock was brought about largely through his influence with the hostiles. Until the admission of Oregon to the Union, General Lane served with fidelity as Delegate to Congress, and on the admission he was chosen United States Senator. In 1800 the Democratic National Committee at Baltimore, nominated him for the office of Vice-President, on the ticket with John C. Breckenridge. The details of the ensuing canvass are not yet forgotten, terminating, as they did, in the election of Lincoln, and the grand tragedy of the civil war. General Lane threw his influence at first in favor of the South, but refrained from taking an active part in the attempt to disrupt the Union. He retired to his home near Roseburg, in Southern Oregon, and never again entered political life. The remaining years of his existence were spent peacefully on his farm and in the bosom of his family. He died in April, 1881."  [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p.704-5]

SMALL, Jane: m'd 1849 HILL, James

"James Hill was the seventh child of Rev./Col. Joab Hill (1775-1847) and Elizabeth Lane Hill.  He was born 5 October 1818 in Sweetwater, Monroe County, Tennessee. The family moved to McMinn County on a land grant given to Joab Hill for services in the War of 1812. They then moved to southeastern Iowa for one winter, 1839, then over the state line to Clark County, Missouri, because they could not keep their slaves in Iowa. Their first home in Missouri was a large log cabin located northwest of Revere about five miles.
   James returned to Tennessee and married Jane Small Johnson in McMinn County on 4 February 1849. Jane was born 21 January 1830 in McMinn County, Tennessee, the daughter of Rev. James Small and Mary Ann Wallace. Jane Small's brief first marriage was to Frederick M. Johnson, 10 Feb. 1846, Meigs County, Tennessee.
   James and Jane made their wedding trip to Oregon. They accompanied his three brothers, Isaac, Russell, and George, and his mother, Elizabeth Lane Hill, and his sister Maria Louisa Kelly and three nephews of whom he was very fond, LaGrand Hill, Isham P. Keith, and Sterling Hill.
   By the 1850 census, James (age 33) and Jane (age 20) were in Linn County, Oregon, with his mother, Elizabeth (age 65) and two brothers, Isaac and George W., living with them. Brother R.T. Hill was living next door to them and to the Chamberlain family, including the wife, Adeline Cheadle Chamberlain, whom he later married.
   James' daughter wrote, "in 1852 Father and Mother with Shasta Ruby returned to Missouri. Father had promised Mother's father, Rev. James Small, that he would bring Mother back when he made enough money to start in business." So they left Oregon, but later regretted it because they felt their children would have had an easier life there. During the Civil War, James took his family to Texas "for the sake of peace" -- to escape the fighting in Missouri.
   James and Jane Hill located ten miles southwest of Springfield, Missouri, in Greene County on Grand Prairie in the beautiful Ozark country. Jane died on 20 March 1879, and James died 20 January 1882 in Ash Grove, Dade County, Missouri. They are buried on Rev. James Small's homestead.
    James and one of his brothers, Russell, went to the Pacific coast across the plains in 1847. The Oregon Donation Land Grant #2145 in Linn County indicates that they arrived in Oregon on 25 September 1847. When their father Joab wrote his will on 20 August 1847, while the boys were still on the trail, he said he was leaving: "To my sons, Russell T. and James Hill, I give a Heifer a piece, if they should come back from Oregon."
