Captains of 1850

Emigration estimates for the year 1850 state that approximately 6,000 emigrants headed for Oregon, while 2,500 went to Utah and 44,000 cutoff for California.  The gold rush was still on and California was the primary destination for many families.  Those choosing the Oregon Territory as their destination are listed below.

*1: Hardman Party

*2: Preston Morris Party; this party left spring of 1850 from Adams Co, ILL heading for California but apparently changed routes and went to Oregon. On the 1850 Census they were living in Oregon City but by 1851 Preston Morris had filed a DLC in Linn Co, OR; per Jean Laws at Ivyshire@cs.com

*3: Capt. Alfred Wilson:

*4: Capt. Parrish

*22) Davidson Train consisted of family and friends, all members of the Christian Church (aka Campbellites or Disciples of Christ).  In the early1830s followers of Alexander Campbell, founder of the Disciples of Christ, moved from their homes in Warren Co, KY to Warren Co, IL and established the town of Monmouth, named after their home in Monmouth, Wales.  As the word of the virtues of the Oregon Territory reached Illinois, the talk turned to another move.  An advanced migration of church members went west in 1850.  It consisted of Elijah and Margaret Davidson, Squire S. and Elizabeth Whitman, Thomas and Sarah Lucas and their families, as well as a number of single men.  They reached Polk County, OR in August and settled near Independence on the west bank of the Willamette River, establishing what became Monmouth, OR. In April 1852, a second migration of church members began the journey.  It was made up of the families of Burford, Butler, Davidson, Lucas, Mason, Murphy, Roundtree and a number of single men.The Monmouth, Illinois Atlas newspaper, on April 16, 1852 described the gathering and departure of the train.  In following issues, the newspaper also published several letters written during the journey and from Oregon written by Rev. John E. Murphy.  In 1853, the last of these migrations from the church headed west in what was known as The Butler Train.  It was led by Ira F. M. Butler and contained family and friends.

COLVER, Samuel (10 Sep 1815-15 Feb 1891): m'd CALLENDER, Huldah; s/o Samuel and Rachel (Curry) Colver; buried Phoenix Pioneer Cemetery, Phoenix, Jackson County, Oregon

     SAMUEL COLVER. Ever since the spring of 1851 the Colver family has been known as an industrious and deserving one, and has maintained the reputation for excellent farming for which the Jackson county family is justly famous. That honored pioneer, Samuel Colver, settled first on the present site of Phoenix, where he took up a donation claim and where he spent his entire life. The house which still shelters an industrious household was erected in the days when Indians prowled around by night, and menaced the life and property of the earnest men and women who were striving to make a living upon the neglected and uncultivated land. Many neighbors used to assemble in the improvised fort at night, returning to their farms during the day. Thus the families cherish the old building for the good it has done, and doubtless would feel lost in any other habitation
     Mr. Colver was born in the state of Ohio in 1815, and at Middleburg married Hulda Calendar, born in January, 1823. The family crossed the plains in a large train of emigrants in 1850, meeting with little opposition on the part of the Indians, and having a fairly pleasant trip. Six months they slept by night under the stars and traveled by day, the faithful oxen responding to the instructions of their drivers, and bringing them in safety to the Oregon of their dreams. One incident of the trip is recalled by Mrs. Colver. While on the Platte they were camping one evening and during the night Mr. Colver heard some disturbance among the live stock. Upon investigating he discovered an Indian, whom he grabbed by the throat. The companion of the red man fired, but failed to reach his mark, and the captured Indian managed to squirm out of Mr. Colver's hands, leaving his gun, which was in possession of the family for many years.
     Mr. Colver first took up a claim where Eugene is now located, but in 1851 he came to Jackson county, as heretofore stated, and lived on his farm until his lamented death in 1890. He was a quiet man, devoted to his family and farm, and never desired or would accept office tendered him by his Republican friends. He inaugurated many fine improvements on his farm, kept it in perfect order, and devoted his land to grain, general produce and stock. He is recalled as honorable in all his dealings, fearless in his support of right and justice, and always kind and considerate of those dependent upon his care.
     Mr. and Mrs. Colver took great pride in their three children, desired for them an excellent education, and gave them all the liberty and diversion possible in their busy life. Alice, the youngest, died at the age of two years and four months: Lewelleyn, who married Jemima Dollarhide, died March 9, 1884, leaving four children, Caroletta, Percy L., Frank B., and Lewelleyn; and Isabella is the deceased wife of L. A. Rose, her demise occurring in 1885.
     Mrs. Colver is still living on a portion of the old donation claim, which is being managed by the grandchildren." [Portrait and Biographical Record of Western Oregon p. 304]

RODGERS FAMILY RESEARCHER
*12: RODGERS, James Berry (1826-1899): m'd 1850 MANSFIELD, Martha Jane; s/o Jesse C. and Ruth (Hurt) Rodgers; James Berry Rodgers (11/12/1826-1/31/1899), & Martha Jane Mansfield Rodgers (5/9/1831-6/12/1914), married 10/10/1850 by Martha's uncle John Mansfield and settled in Harrisburg, OR.  They had 6 boys & 7 girls, five children died of childhood diseases and are buried in Alford Cemetery, north of Harrisburg.  The Rodgers moved to So. Oregon, White City (Beagle) area in 1871, and raised their 8 remaining children. Both James & Martha, with many of their descendants are buried at our Pioneer/Historic Antioch Cemetery in White City (previously known as Beagle area in Jackson County).  The Rodgers line is French (Huguenots), according to my grandmother.  During the Civil War, the father, Jesse Rodgers was killed while out gathering medicinal roots by members of the Northern States Militia (Yankees). In the spring of 1850 Jesse & Ruth's son James Berry Rodgers  (1826-1899), his brother Milton and a sister, joined a train of wagons heading from Missouri to the Willamette River Valley in Oregon Territory.  In an account of an ancestor, Milton A. Houston left Missouri in 1849 to find land suitable for raising stock and growing sorghum.  Possibly the Rodgers siblings were similarly motivated.
  There was much illness on the prairie and many people died, among them Nicholas Mansfield (1800-1850) of Roane Co. Tenn. and his wife Martha Jane Morris Mansfield (?- 1850).  Nicholas and Martha died at separate places near Fort Kearny (now Nebraska) along the Oregon Trail.  Other members of the Mansfield family on the wagon train took the orphaned children (one was my g grandmother Martha Jane Mansfield Rodgers).  The settlers continued across the plains to Fort Hall (now Idaho), where the trail split south to California Territory and north along the Snake River to Oregon Territory.
  When they reached The Dalles, on the Columbia River, the settlers heard of the new Oregon Donation Land Law which provided that married couples could receive 640 acres of free land to farm if they applied  before December 1850.  "Love blossomed" among the settlers and on October 10, 1850, 24 year old James Berry Rodgers and 19 year old Martha Jane Mansfield were married.  Their minister was her uncle John Mansfield.  With deed in hand James & Martha settled on a section of land near Harrisburg where they built a home and began rearing a family of 6 boys & 7 girls.

The bodies of Daniel and Pollina were found and buried at Crescent City, but the children were lost.  Only a single boat with a few passengers was able to leave the ship, and survivor Mary (Tweedale) Garretson later recalled the Rowells, "That sweet family, father, mother, standing on that pitching deck, their little ones clutched about them, the wind and spray lashing at their clothing, and she, that beautiful woman, gazing down at us so wistfully as we pulled away."

THORNTON, James (29 May 1826- ):

     SIXTY-FOUR YEARS SINCE GOLD FOUND ON SITE OF YREKA--ASHLAND, April 5.--James Thornton, Ashland resident and one of the few remaining pioneers of this section, grew reminiscent on April 1, while recalling events of the olden days, and brought to mind that it was just sixty-four years from that date when he assisted in the first search for placer gold at the diggings on the spot where the city of Yreka, in Siskiyou County, California, now stands. There was no settlement there then, almost the entire country being a wilderness, although another party of miners were working at Scott's Bar some distance away. This was in 1851. The Thornton party consisted of twenty-two men, organized in Yamhill County, Oregon, who got the gold fever and started south on February 11 of that year. They got as far as Dunsmuir and were compelled to turn back on account of deep snow and stress of weather,. The party packed into the wilderness with an average of two animals apiece. While near the site of where Yreka now stands they prospected for the yellow metal and found it in paying streaks, though no attempt was made to mine systematically to bedrock, they simply working the surface. As Mr. Thornton remembers it, no name was given to this original camp. In the course of three months, the water supply giving out, the party returned to Oregon, various members of the expedition having cleaned up about $1000 apiece. 
     Of the original party six were intimate companions and had come to Oregon from Louisa County, Iowa, in the spring of 1850. They were Jacob Wagner, James and John Thornton, Charles Hendricks, Humphrey Long and a German named Henry Van Asalt. The late Albert Rockfellow was also a member of the initial party, but he left them at a point now within the boundaries of the state of Nebraska, preferring to join an expedition direct to California instead of coming to Oregon. All of these men have passed away with the exception of James Thornton. Mr. Thornton was born in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, "on the banks of the Wabash," May 29, 1826, consequently he is in his 90th year. He returned to the central west in the fall of 1851, via Central America, the sea voyage from
Nicaragua to New York being in the old original steamer Vanderbilt. Coming back to Oregon, he located respectively in the Willamette Valley and later on at Jacksonville and then at Talent. He came to Ashland about the year 1867, and for a long period was actively identified with the woolen mills here.
