not aware of this individual specifically, but have heard of the "lost wagon
train" that he was the leader of. A good reference cam be found on a
Hockersmith genealogy site (his daughter, Martha, married into this family I
guess). Here's the lin, but there is quite a bit that has been written on
the lost wagon train too, which would have some mentions of the leader that
might be
insightful.<BR><BR>http://bellsouthpwp.net/t/i/timhock/vol%202%20no%202_web.pdf
