Tuscarawas OH; Salem OR This family was among the early pioneers of Oregon. They left their home in Ohio, Apr. 1, 1850, to traverse the plains with a four ox team. On the way one of the oxen died, and one of two cows which they took with them was put into service in its place. The Dallas, then a frontier fort on the Columbia River, in charge of Capt. U. S. Grant and Lieut. Phil Sheridan, was reached early in November. After a stay of two weeks at the fort, the family went down the Columbia on flat boats, manned by Indians, to a place called "Sandy" on Sandy River, a branch of the Columbia. Other Info:
