There was another way that a small number of people came to Oregon/Washington and that was by ship "around the Horn". One set of my great-great grandparents came to Washington that way ca. 1865.<br>

I have several ancestors who lived in Missour in 1850, can't find in 1860, then most of them show up in Yamhill County Oregon in 1870.<br>
<br>
My question is, would they have travelled by train or by wagon train? There were multiple families that came together. Also, why am I having a hard time finding them in 1860? If they were waiting for or in a wagon train, would they have been missed by the census taker? I have one ancestor who lost a wife in Missour approx 1862 and remarried by 1863. I can't find death certificate of 1st wife.<br>

Surnames are Lambert and Forrest.<br>
