I found what Stephanie Flora had to say about that wagon Train;


2) Capt. Jordan Sawyer: party included James Moore; Larkins; Fudge; Marck
Sawyer; Mr. Smith; Elijah Bird; Robert Bird; William Blair; William Larkin;
Sol, Allen and Robert Kinney, Rev. Samuel Allen, John Bird and others,
making 35 able-bodied men accompanied by their wives and children. They had
numerous encounters with Indian along the way and one incident where the
wagon of Mrs. Fudge stampeded. They crossed the Cascade mountains over the
Barlow road and arrived at Foster's Oct 1, 1847

I guess I should et her know Mark is mispelled.

Still don't know if and what connection they have.
