[or-roots] Pioneer families

[Leslie Chapman]

Stephanie;

I tried to track these ladies down in the 1900 census on the theory that one
of them might have children spread over the before Oregon to in Oregon
period. Unfortunately the only likely candidate on the whole list was a Mary
Showalter who turned out to be living alone in Portland in 1900 with no
mention of children, but she was the only Sholwalter in the whole state. I
did find a Josephine Bauman, but she was 19. There are a lot of Taylors in
Oregon, but no Saylors in 1900. Unfortunately unless someone runs across a
diary of a trip that mentions some of these folks or a train roster
somewhere it might be hard to figure.

I have received a query from a lady who has a quilt that was made in the
late 1880s.  It was reportedly made by the ladies of the company as they
traveled to Oregon. The ladies all signed the quilt.  She is trying to
pinpoint the year.  The names are difficult to read but appear to be as
follows:

Addie Larry/Loerry/Lorey
Ellen R. haldeman
M.E. Fletcher
Maggie Hill
Emma Liehty
Eve Liehty
M Saylor (could be taylor)
E.M. Showalter
Polly Smith
W.J.H. Bauman
l.l. Eakins
Ellen Saylor (or taylor)
E. Peck
J.E. Bauman
Julia Eakins
J. Necholason

If you have information on any of these ladies please contact her directly
