Connie,
I don't know anything about these two Blues, but I will keep this on file in case they show up in my research. 
Merry Christmas,
Jim in Walla Walla

  This "Blue" mystery is a puzzle to me too. There was an artist in Portland named Bob Blue, who was a friend of my sculptor husband. And then there is historian Lucy Blue in Lincoln County, who I cannot find out one tiny weeny thing about. Help!

    Ok, if you are going to get mad and unsubscribe then here is my jeaneeology  question. I struck out with the researchers listed for the Capt. Thomas Clark wagon train in 1851 on your site.  I am researching the Blue family.  Amos Blue (my g-grandfather) was with this train. Also, the Bowen and Mckee families arrived in Jackson county, Oregon in 1853.   They are not listed on your site.  How can I find out what train they arrived on. Information I have:John M. McKee his wife Maryum Bowen McKee and their two children, Maxmilly and Adelbert crossed the plains from Sullivan Co. MO in 1852-53 with a large wagon train which included his wife's parents John B. and Roxyann Hutchinson (Hughes) Bowen. The wagon train arrived in the Rogue River Valley of Southern Oregon August 31, 1853 and settled a DLC claim 10 Oct. 1853 on the foothills of skinner's Butte eight miles east of Jacksonville. Amos Blue married Maryum's sister Sarah Elizabeth Bowen-Smith.He had a BLM land claim next to the Bowen and the McKee families. Merry Christmas,Jim Irwin in Walla Walla

       If you all think you are doing this for geneology reasons.  I think you are all wrong I have been watching this site for a while and have not seen any progress.  This site just seems to be another type of chat room.  If you would all stop correcting each other and actually get to business of what this site is for you all might get something done.
