Oregon Trail 1852

http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~cchouk/oregon_trail/index1.h...

    Willis and Louisa Gains, and several children, crossed the plains in 1852.  Louisa died in

1855, and Willis remarried in 1857 Elizabeth Kincaid Fulkerson; she had crossed in 1847.

    These families tie back to my fgr gr gr grandfather William Simpson; he crossed in 1846.
