<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>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">If you all think you are doing this for
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>
