[or-roots] HARPOLE in 1851

[albert belanger]

Bonjour, Gerrie,
 
Below is what I have collected in my Master List of 1851 O.T. Pioneers.
The initials between the –‘s are the sources from which I documented
their trek : - NP - is Nancy Prevost who sent me the HARPOLE info.; - SF
- is Stephenie Flora ;  - l&rm - refers to Lewis and Rachel (Jackson)
MILLER and the three  accounts I have of the Massacre Rock incident ; –
DLC – refers to the Donation Land Claim Harpole took out ; HRCW is Here
Rolled the Covered Wagons -- by Albert and Jane Salisbury in which is an
article:  “Massacre Rocks and Rock Creek Camp.” 
                        
Where I was not absolutely sure that a person was on the Trail that
year, I added a ?  If you have verification that Nancy, Paul, and Susan
were on the Trail in 1851 I’d sure like to add that documentation. If
you like, I’ll add your name and contact info to my list, in case
someone wants to contact you about sharing info.
 
Do you have any 1851 Trail journals or recollections that mention these
folks?
 
Your humble servant &c., &c.,
 
Albert

Monsieur Belanger,
 
Pardon my high school French, but I couldn't resist.  Do you have our
ancestor, William P. Harpole & family in your book, as they came to
Oregon in 1851.  His brother, James Walker Harpole was captain of that
wagon train I believe.  The Oregon State Library and the Salt Lake City
Family History Center have copies of HARPOLE family books, if you need
their information.  I don't have pictures of the family, but there are
some interesting stories of this family in the books I've read.  Our
William P. Harpole was an Oregon politician, who died on the campaign
trail while running for another term.  I have his widow, Nancy M. Mc
Mullen Harpole's informative obituary, and could share it with you.  
 
Respectfully,
 
Gerrie Stults, Idaho
