I see that one of your names is McCarty, there is a book out, "In Pursutt of The McCartys" by Jon M. & Donna McDaniel Skovlin, Reflections Publishing Company. Cove Oregon, 2001. 

It has a lot of McCarty History in it, do not know if any are related to yours, but is interesting and has some of my family in it.

I, too, enjoy this discussion about the Oregon Trail. One of my gr-gr-grandfathers came in 1848 (Griffin), and the other in 1852 (Hamlin). When I think about the hardships they faced as they traveled to and then settled in this new land, it makes me very proud.

So many of us have ancestors that traveled that trail and I worry that the history of the trail over time is becoming diminished. My early Oregon ancestors - Cox, King, McCarty - all came to Oregon via the trail. They joined the many pioneers on their to Oregon in Missouri and were among some of the earliest to arrive here. I am very proud of my pioneer stock and am eager to finally begin to put that history together for our family.
