[or-roots] STEELE-SLOOP-DUELL-ROSE

[Faye Weber]

I am researching the above Oregon pioneer ancestors.  In 1878, the Harrison Sloop family (Harrison, wife Sarah and 8 children) joined a wagon train headed for Oregon.  It started with nine wagons from Coon Grove, Iowa on May 7, 1878.  By June 11, 1878 the wagon train had grown to include twenty teams.  They arrived in Knappa, OR. the first part of September 1878.  Harrison & Sarah were school teachers.  He served as Clatsop County School Superintendant for several years.

My question is:  Would this family be considered johnny-come-latelys?
