<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Ok, if you are going to get mad and unsubscribe
then here is my jeaneeology question. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I struck out with the researchers listed for the Capt.
Thomas Clark wagon train in 1851 on your site. I am researching the Blue
family. Amos Blue (my g-grandfather) was with this train.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Also, the Bowen and Mckee families arrived in Jackson
county, Oregon in 1853. They are not listed on your site.
How can I find out what train they arrived on. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Information I have:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>John M. McKee his wife Maryum Bowen McKee and their two
children, </FONT><FONT face=Arial>Maxmilly and Adelbert crossed the plains
from Sullivan Co. MO in 1852-53 with a large wagon train which included his
wife's parents John B. and Roxyann Hutchinson (Hughes) Bowen. The wagon train
arrived in the Rogue River Valley of Southern Oregon August 31, 1853 and
settled a DLC claim 10 Oct. 1853 on the foothills of skinner's Butte eight
miles east of Jacksonville. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Amos Blue married Maryum's sister Sarah Elizabeth
Bowen-Smith.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>He had a BLM land claim next to the Bowen and the McKee families.</DIV>

geneology reasons. I think you are all wrong I have been watching this
site for a while and have not seen any progress. This site just seems
to be another type of chat room. If you would all stop correcting each
other and actually get to business of what this site is for you all might
get something done.</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
