<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

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

<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>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>
