<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I also love the history of the Oregon Trail and this
website 'or-roots' as all of you talk about old and new information about
the trail and our pioneer families. My grandmother showed us as kids old wagon
wheel ruts along the highway by Columbia River, Biggs Junction, Deschutes
River and Dalles, OR. I remember seeing the ruts closer to the
Dalles and they were on the side of a hill kind of. I can still visualize
it in my head like a picture. When I was a kid my mom actually drove her car on
the Barlow road at least that's what I remember it being and it was so
bumpy but fun. In my research now I see I am related to Samuel K Barlow though
his 2 son's who married Larkin sisters and then back from them the Plank
& Lydalls. </FONT><FONT face=Calibri>My mother's side of family came on
the trail from Franklin Co., Missouri & Keokuck, Iowa in 1852 to Marion Co.
were McCubbins, Stevens. Then some went to Dayton, WA. to live & die,
married into the Flanagan, Parson, Eaton & more.</FONT></DIV>
