[or-roots] Suzanne's original question

Hi Nancy and all,
I wonder if there are easier or better ways to find out the why questions. For me that would be Why did my Brewer family move to Lane County, OR from Arkansas, then to Grand Mound, WA? Why did my deBeer family immigrate from Germany/Holland? Why did my great grandfather's 3rd wife put my great grandfather in Washington state hospital, not notify his family, and take his property? Why did my husband's grandfather turn to a life of crime at age 23 and live as a criminal for as long as I can trace him?
I keep emailing potential cousins, hoping someone will have more information than me. I post queries here and there. I consider myself an advanced beginner newbie and welcome more knowledge of how to do this hobby!
Ronda

Hi Ronda,
Suzanne's original question was:
I have more detailed information, but am looking for Thomas Benton Clark
ancestors or some indication why he was the only one of his family to move
to Oregon
I did find the right family tree, but who knows how correct it is at ancestry.com, but it's a start. I found his father & more ancestors going back in his line. But, Suzanne is also trying to find out why Thomas Benton Clark was the only one in the family to move to Oregon?

Hi Nancy and everyone,
I sent Suzanne three family trees from Ancestry off list. I found several Thomas Benton Clarks (see list below), but no one with the right wife had any ancestors of Thomas.
Does anyone have thoughts on Suzanne's original question, or how to find the why's of our ancestors?
I have more detailed information, but am looking for Thomas Benton Clark
ancestors or some indication why he was the only one of his family to move
to Oregon.

I am new to this list and would appreciate any help I can get.
I am working on the following:
Thomas Benton Clark m. Matilda Forrest in Dayton, Yamhill, Oregon 1876 or
1878.
Their son Riley Lester Clark m. Stella Irene Sims in Portland, Multnomah,
Oregon March 19, 1916.
Riley and Stella were my maternal grandparents.
I have more detailed information, but am looking for Thomas Benton Clark
ancestors or some indication why he was the only one of his family to move
to Oregon.
Thanks
Suzanne
