[or-roots] 1844 Wagon Train Diary

[Denise Sproed]

Dan,

 

I’m related to quite a number of folks in the Rev Parrish 1844 Diary.  Cornelius Gilliam is my direct ancestor, leader of the wagon train.  Many of his siblings & extended family [William & Sarah Shaw, Nelson, Nichols, Belieu, Brown, Crawford, Eads, Gage, Grant, etc] are on that same wagon train.  There are a couple other publications that help sort out families who traveled that year.

 

1844 is a year of especial interest to me.  Michael Troutman Simmons is also a relative of mine, tho not thru Gilliam, who was on that same wagon train.  Always enjoy collaborating with other relatives.
