<DIV>Denise: I don't think 1832 is too early. My Grandfather was born in Oregon Dec 19 1876. His father , Thomas p Goodman married Susan Bryant 1870 in Linn Co. OR, and his father Joseph B. Goodman d 1875 in Umatilla OR Thomasd P Goodman also married Janette Miller in 1867 in Linn Co. Oregon.</DIV>
<DIV>I also have gggf McLane who was married to Josephine Barry in 1865-- The Goodmans were in Oregon pretty early.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1832 is a bit early for anyone to die in Umatilla County Oregon, unless they were an Indian. There were not alot of white men in that area and Umatilla definitely wasn't formed that early. Oregon wasn't even a state yet. The earliest wagon trains with "families" came about 1842. There were some other folks that came earlier but not with a "wagon train" group per se (more the explorers and fur traders than family groups). (A fantastic site on Oregon migrators is <A href="http://www.oregonpioneers.com/ortrail.htm">http://www.oregonpioneers.com/ortrail.htm</A> ) There are some early territorial census records for Oregon</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1850 is the first federal (rather it is called Territorial) census (summary at <A href="http://gesswhoto.com/census.html">http://gesswhoto.com/census.html</A> ) but there is also a 1845 & 1849 partial state census (see <A href="http://www.accessgenealogy.com/census/oregon.htm">http://www.accessgenealogy.com/census/oregon.htm</A> )</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1861 is a more typical migration time - although there are alot of people who migrated earlier - 1852 is the largest year of immigration to Oregon.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>There is evidence that the entire Goodman Family moved west in 1861 or so on the Oregon Trail</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Whoa -- Which is it? Jr. born in 1832 in IL or died in 1832 in Oregon? And if he was born in Illinois in 1832, seems to me that probably his father never did make it out west??</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>My ggggf was George Washington Goodman Sr. He was born 17 Apr 1779 in VA and died 28 sept 1853 in Coles Co. IL. His son George Washington Goodman Jr. was born in 1832 in IL and died in Umatilla OR </DIV>
<DIV>I have reason to believe that George Sr. was in Oregon in the late 1700s to early 1800s, but can't document it. However if George W Jr. died in Umatilla in 1832 I'm pretty sure that his father had been in the vacinity.</DIV>
<DIV>I have access to Heritage Quest and have checked the US Census Records there but can find nothing on George W Goodman Sr in Oregon.</DIV>
<DIV>Can Ya'll Help?</DIV>
