appreciate your insight, but all of his family (father, mother, older sibs,
young sibs) all stayed in Nebraska. So, I don't think there was a
problem. I am trying to link him to the Lamberts and Forrests who were
already in Yamhill county. I guess I need a trip to the Yamhill county
museum to read some local histories.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV> Sometimes the answer lies not in the destination, but in the
economy of the home place. Think, for example, of the number of
people from Oklahoma and nearby states that came to Oregon during the dust
bowl; they were escaping in desperation. There was also a similar
influx to the Pacific Northwest when the shipyards and airplane plants
were looking for workers at the begining of WWII. I did a quick
Google of the midwest in 1870 and found that in Iowa they were trying to
attract immigrants and had opened land for homesteading. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Possibly looking at local histories of the community that he came
from in Nebraska would have some answers. There was a bit of gold
mining going on in Southern Oregon and Northern California in the
1870's...or maybe it was just the lure of adventure. At that time
most sixteen-year-olds were considered adults. And besides, who
wouldn't want to leave Nebraska!</DIV>

id=AOLMsgPart_0_06343970-1afd-4394-a242-45c70cbf1b9c><PRE><TT>I've been doing to more research on Thomas Benton Clark to see how/why he
came out west when the rest of his family did not. This is what I know:
1870 census for Grant, Washington, Nebraska as 16 yr old son of Amos and
Elizabeth Clark,
1876 marries Matilda Forrest in Dayton, Yamhill, Oregon.
1880 census for Dayton, Yamhill, Oregon with Matilda and 1 son, living next
door to John Lambert family which were the guardians of Matilda.
So, I have from 1870 thru 1876 that I am trying to trace him. Does anyone
know if there were indian wars or gold rushes or anything like that that
would have attracted him to Oregon? or to the Willamette valley?
