The train arrived at the Whitman station at Walla Walla WA (OR Terr) in Nov of 1844 and went on to Oregon, floating their goods down the Columbia River arriving at Oregon City. Moses settled in the Willamette Valley and lived in Yamhill Co.
He is reported to have gone back to Missouri after the death of his first wife, but a second marriage record is found for Moses again in Polk Co OR. Most of his children stayed in Oregon and took up homesteads.
