[or-roots] MOORE, LEWIS, (NO SUMNER) on the Trail in 1851

[Leslie Chapman]

Paulette;

For what it's worth at;

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~smokymtnman/goldrush/lewis.htm

(13) Fielding2 LEWIS, (Fielding1 LEWIS) was born Jun 22, 1811 in Sandlick, Claiborne Co., Tn, and married (52) Lucinda MOORE, daughter of David MORE and Polly Aunt SHERMAN, who was born about 1810 in Hawkins Co., Tn.

the site has a lot on the Lewis line but lists no children of this marriage, and my conditional is obvious from the "Aunt" you see here says to me either this is information corrupted from being transferred between programs or was put together by someone who "wasn't clear on the concept."

I am going send you an excerpt from a book off list;

The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912 By Joseph Gaston  this is from Google books, I am in the process of downloading this so anyone who wants it and doesn't want to fuss with that can contact me OFF LIST and I will be glad to send it to you. It is a 45 meg file though so if you are on dial-up you might want to reconsider that idea.

Gaston used the same text in another of his books;

Portland, Oregon, Its History and Builders By Joseph Gaston
that is also on Google Books or I can provide it OFF LIST to folks, for this one if you have dial-up I can send it to you in 6 5-6 meg pieces from HQ if you'd rather.

There are folks on Genealogy.com discussing her;

I think you'll want to visit this site yourself;
http://gw5.geneanet.org/index.php3?b=weterb1&lang=en;p=emma+rebecca;n=lewis

that is a link to a grand daughter Emma Rebecca Lewis 

Death: From the Roseburg News-Review, Friday, October 13, 1944, page 3:
"MRS. EMMA HODGES DIES IN ROSEBURG. Mrs. Emma Rebecca Hodges, 77, died yesterday at her home in West Roseburg. She was born near Albany, Ore., the daughter of David and Mary Ann Lewis, pioneer settlers. She was married Dec. 24, 1888 to Jesse G. Hodges at Kent (sic), Wash. They moved back to Oregon in 1894, living in Jackson county until 1910, then moved to a ranch at Yoncalla, Douglas County, where they lived four years, then moved to Roseburg. Mr. Hodges passed away November 22, 1940. Surviving Mrs. Hodges are the following sons and daughters; Ted Hodges, Lookingglass; Clarence Hodges, Glide; Everett Hodges, Bremerton, Wash., Jesse and Thomas Hodges, Eugene, Ore.; Mildred Hughes, Roseburg; Mary Cronk, Emmett, Idaho; and Edna Walker, Eugene. Also surviving are two sisters, Ada Sanders, Albany, Ore., and Lula Carter, Cottage Grove; 22 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at the Roseburg Undertaking company chapel at 2:30 Sunday afternoon. Interment will follow Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Odd Fellows cemetery at Medford, Ore." 

The fact this is a Roseburg reference lit up my tree, I was sure there was a Fullerton connection, but if there is I don't have it in my family file.

I am going to break off here Paulette; if this is all new stuff to you let me introduce you to the wonderful world of Google; I got all that by querying
"Fielding Lewis" and then search within results for "Lucinda Moore"  actually the first time I mistakenly used "Fielding Lewis' and then the search within results and I got fewer hits 330 and they seemed to be better quality info than the 390 hits I got by using full quotes. I always use quotes when searching as I usually get millions of useless hits otherwise, but my son has better luck finding things on Google without them which irritates me to no end.

I'm sorry, I think I goofed. 1851 seems not to be the year I needed information on RE: The Oregon Trail. Sorry to interfere with this thread.

I was looking for information on Lucinda Moore Lewis who was born about 1813 in Tennessee. She was the youngest sister of Alfred and Squire Moore, who were children of David Moore and Margaret Sherman of TN (David was a son of Anthony Moore and Zilphia Haines of Frederick, Virginia). 

Lucinda Moore Lewis married Fielding Lewis Jr. about 1829; then they moved to Wabash, IL. They moved to Linn County, Missouri in the 1840s, according to my relative who gave me this information. 

They joined a wagon train to Oregon in about 1852. Sadly, Lucinda died Aug. 28, 1852 near Birch Creek, Oregon, on the Snake River. Three of her seven children died on the way to Oregon as well: Charles Wesley Lewis b. abt. 1840 IL, died Sept. 6, 1852 near Burnt River, OR; Mary Ellen Lewis b. abt. 1838 IL, died Oct. 12, 1852 in Vancouver Barracks, WA; John Marion Lewis b. abt. 1849 MO, died Sept. 18, 1853 in Upper Cascades, OR. 

Fielding and the other children, whose names I do not have, settled in Josephine County, OR as far as I know.
