Here are some clues:
On May 9, 1853, he with his family and a company of pioneers crossed the Missouri River at Council Bluffs, IA and began a trek to Oregon Territory. On May 10th Jeremiah was elected Captain of the Wagon Train.http://www.marioncountycemetery.com/hobson/records/display_record.php?id=6397
 The entry in Mr. Longworth's diary for the 6th of Sept. states: "We drove ten miles to Lee's Encampment. This day the road was very stony and rough but not mountainous and in many places the ground was poor. For the last seven days travel, most of the land next to the road has a rich soil and one day will be a densely populated country. I have not seen as much good timber since I left Ohio as I saw last week. While on Powder River Mr. Connoyer (Kenoyer) left a wagon. Mr. Edwards left one at Grande Ronde and Mr. Crow left one thirty miles in the Blue Mountains on account of the loss of many of their cattle.http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=benton&id=I17065

Wagons West!
In 1853, a mission agency was organized under the cumbersome name “Home, Frontier, and Foreign Missionary Society.” That year, we launched our first missionary venture. A wagon train of UB people journeyed from Iowa to Oregon, where they intended to start United Brethren churches. There were 38 oxen-pulled wagons, 98 persons, and 300 head of cattle on the Oregon Trail. The trip took five months. Quite a missionary venture! The movement had now spread from coast to coast.https://ub.org/about/history/

I was able to find two diaries on the California-Oregon trails site Papertrail.org shown below. I found the Memorandum book is available at a number of libraries in the state, but also found someone who read the book last month and wrote a review on it. I've reached out to him to see if he can see if the Hoskins are mentioned. Failing that, it looks like maybe you should reach out to the United Brethren church and ask if they have information on who was in the wagon train? It was a church related wagon train so it is very possible the Hoskins were included. I wasn't able to locate the second one, "Items of travel" by Connor. Maybe someone else in the list has a subscription and can look it up?

 Jeremiah Kenoyer b. 22 Nov 1819 Harrison, IN. d. 3 Aug 1906 in Albion, Whitman Co. WA.He married Elizabeth Cuppy and they had twelve children.  One daughter Clarinda Jane Kenoyer married my 2nd great grand uncle.  That is why I am trying to find out the train that they came on.  I think my ancestors probably came with him because they were devout United Brethren.Dale

I tried that website a few weeks ago but couldn't figure out how to navigate it.  I am not much of a computer person.

Does anyone know the wagon train that Jeremiah Kenoyer came on and if there is any documentation about it?  He was a United Brethren Minister that I think went to the Willamette Valley first and then later he and some of his followers went to Eastern Oregon.Thanks,Dale
