1847-48 HIST OF INDIAN WAR 1847-48: History of Umatilla and Morrow Counties of Oregon, by William Parsons about 1900, pg 55-62:
"During the summer of 1847, measles, introduced by the immigrants [Dr. Marcus Whitman and other whites to his mission at Waiilatpu, 6 miles west of the present Walla Walla WA], became epidemic among the Cayuses. A Cayuse chief and Joe Lewis, a renegade half-breed, who wandered to the [Whitman] mission, had been befriended by Whitman, then... became a prime mover in the murdurous plot [to kill the Whitmans]. Their native method of treating anything of a feverous nature...and Whitman...faithful and unremitting in his ministrations...many died. At this critical moment the wretch Lewis...made the Indians think that Whitman was poisoning them.
The Indians determined to make a test case of a sick woman, giving her some of Whitman's medicine and agreeing that is she died they would kill the missionaries. The woman died, and the plot came to a focus. At the warning of Istickus of Umatilla, Mrs Whitman felt the darkening of the approaching tragedy...the doctor told her he would arrange to remove down the river [Columbia] at once. But the next day, 29 Nov 1847..., a number of Indians entered [the mission], and...the work of murder thus begun. The next day Gov Abernethy... called for volunteers to rescue the prisoners [many whites were taken prisoner from the mission] and punish the Indians.
[After negotiations] On New Year's Day, 1848, Rev HH Spalding with 10 others... arrived at Ft Walla Walla under escort of 50 Nez Perce Indians [paid for their safe delivery]. 3 days later... the captives in boats... started to Ft Vancouver... arrived safely at Oregon City. [After further negotiations]the Spokanes announced their conclusion...[to] defend them [the missionaries] with our lives. The Nez Perce made the same decision. The Umatillas, the Nez Perces and the Spokanes,...the Hudson's Bay Co, were all against them [Cayuse Indians]...the provincial gov't at once entered upon the work of equipping 14 companies of volunteers by an act of Dec 9.
Cornelius Gilliam was chosen colonel of the regiment. Companies of Capt Thompson, Maxon, English, and McKay [war fought on Umatilla River, pgs 60--62]..., 11 soldiers wounded... the Indian loss was severe. "

1847-1850 HIST: Wendell M Stark email Aug 2001: "The Pearson family written up in 'In the Footsteps of the Pioneers' by Will M Kidwell [see below], 'History of the Pacific Northwest' by Edward Evans, and 'A History of Baker, Grant, Malheur and Harney Counties' of Oregon:
Joseph Nathaniel Pearson came to the Oregon area in 1850. While living in Oregon, he fought in the Cayuse Indian War of 1847 and 1848, from 9 Jan 1848 to 5 Jul 1848 as a private in Co' 1st Regulars of Oregon Riflemen, under Capt Maxon, English & Shaw, commanded by Col C Gilliam.
Francis Marion Pearson was a volunteer in the Bannock & Piute War of 1878 and was in the Battle of Beasley's Mill near Pilot Rock, Oregon.
William Perry Pearson and Nancy Kasia Cox, my greatgrandparents, homesteaded at Westmond ID, as did my greatgrandparents, Newton Alexander Finley and Susan Hartsaw. WP and Nancy later purchased what was named the Pearson Hotel in the old town of Vollmer ID, which is now Craigmont. They ran this up and until their retirement.
All the legs of the family migrated from Missouri, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Germany. Some originated, as far as we know, in England and Ireland, but as of this writing, we have been unable to document just exactly where.
I hope that this will clear up some mistakes in the family history and fill in some gaps that some may have. I am by no means a professional genealogist, but I have done this because of a deep interest of my family history and wanting to leave a legacy to my children and future descendants (wrote ancestors). I wish to thank everyone that has spent untold hours compiling all of this information, and that they are willing to share with any and all."
