noticed you have some in Linn County and the Willamette Valley. My sister
and I are going out there in April to do some more “hands on”
searching and was wondering if you knew of any Powell or Propst sites we should
visit. I realize our direct ancestor Lucinda Powell Propst died and was
buried on the trail and Anthony Propst was buried at Foster’s farm at the
end of the trail, but their children (and my great grandfather) stayed with the
surviving Powells Alfred, Noah, and John who stayed in the area.</span></font></p>
