Looking for info about Sarah Elizabeth Ferrell (Ferrel, Farrell, Davidson) and Josiah Powell. She came to Oregon in 1853 from Indiana with the Henry C. Davidson family- mentioned as her Aunt in several documents. However, her maiden name has always been listed as Ferrell (with various spellings)- so it must be her Aunt on her mother's side. She married Josiah Powell ((son of Oregon Powell Preacher: Noah)- and they had their only son, my g grandfather Glenn O Powell (who married Arvilla Howard of Junction City, OR.)) 
Josiah died the same year his son was born- 1865. I am looking for info on how he died. 
Sarah went on to marry a man named Page sometime between 1865-1870, but I can find no record of this. They had one daughter, Sarah Ollie Page (who married Walter Beebe of Vaupel, Beebe in Ashland, OR). 
Sarah then married James Addison Bushnell of Junction City, OR in 1870. They had several children and Glenn and Ollie knew JA Bushnell as their father until they became adults. 

I have a picture of JA Bushnell- wife Sarah- Glenn and Ollie on the right- Henry and Gertrude Bushnell Movius on the right. (JA and Sarah's children.) The other children are from JA's first marriage to Adkins. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you the picture. They can't post it here.

Any info would be appreciated.
