(born Oct. 22, 1821 to Joseph W. & Susan Hull Putnam, died May 30, 1847)Ref: Overland in 1846 by Dale Morgan (Introduction): (from a series of letters to the Reveille by Curry) an obituaryby W.J. Bailey in the Oregon Spectator, June 10, 1847, says in part: “Died—suddenly, at my residence near theWillamette, on the 30th of May, of disease of the heart, Mr. Nathan James Putnam, of Lexington, Kentucky. He lefthis home in the (sic) Spring of ’46, principally for the benefit of his health, and arrived in this country lastNovember, by the Southern route. On account of great sufferings and exposures which befell him on the road, hisdisease became so confirmed that it was not in the power of medicine nor art to (sic) restorte him….”(170) Ref: Gleaves Family- Genealogy.com – Family Tree MakerFamily History: There seems to be no definitivesources available for the elusive Mr. Hicklin and his wife and two children. Regarding John Hicklin Jr; husband ofMary Flourney Gleaves, who were also, the parents of Sonora Louisa Hicklin: John Hicklin Jr. died Feb. 7, 1848 inCass Co., MO., which seems to eliminate him from being a possibility? Sonora had a brother, Bailliu BaileyHickman, born Jan. 24, 1827 in Cass Co., MO. Bailliu, b. Jan. 24, 1827, Greenwood, Cass Co. MO is listed ashaving been married, but his date and place of death is unknown.(171) No information found on Mrs. Hicklin. See notes (151) & (170).(172) Mathew M. Nealy married Jane Eliza Collins, daughter of Smith Collins and Eliza Wyatt, in Oregon Territoryin 1847. Ref: Oregon in 1846 compiled by Stephenie Flora: Collins, Jane Eliza: married 1847 Nealy, Matthew M.;d/o Smith and Eliza (Wyatt) Collins.Ref: Chamberlin Cemetery ~ Eliza Emily Collins ~ part of the Polk….: Smith Collins born Dec. 1804 Orange Co.,VA; died Mar. 22, 1870 Luckiamute Valley, Polk Co., OR. Smith Collins married Eliza Wyatt Dec. 24, 1830. Eliza(Wyatt) Collins (Daughter of Douglas Wyatt) was born January 12, 1812, in Kentucky, died Apr. 29, 1872 inLuckiamute Valley, Polk Co., Oregon. Children: 12 (8 sons & 4 daughters): Mary Lucretia born Jul. 4, 1842 KansasCity, MO, died Aug.2, 1924 Newport, Lincoln Co., OR, William W. born Mar. 2, 1843 MO, died Apr. 13, 1912,David O. born Feb. 15, 1845, died Apr. 13, 1875, Jane Eliza & 8 others.Ref: jtenlen/ORBios – RootsWeb: Freepages: “Portraits & Biographical Record of the Willlamette Valley Oregon”“Smith Collins, the father of Judge Collins, was born in Orange County, Va., in 1804……In 1846 Mr. Collinsoutfitted for the trip across the plains, having decided to become a pioneer of the northwest……Upon their arrival atthe present site of Eugene, they found but one house, that having been built by Eugene Skinner, but with nooccupants. Here the subject of this sketch remained with the wagons and exhausted stock during the winter, whilethe rest of the family proceeded on pack-horses, to the settlements on the Luckiamute river, about sixty miles furthernorth……In the spring of 1847 Mr. Collins took up a donation claim located between the Luckiamute and Soapcreek, in Polk county……Mr. Collins was married in 1829 to Miss Emily Wyatt, who was born near MountSterling, Ky., in 1812……She was the daughter of Douglas Wyatt, a native of Kentucky and pioneer of Warrencounty, Mo…….Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Collins, namely: Jane E., who became the wife ofM.M. Neeley and died in Oregon.”(173) Thornton says: “August 13th Wm. Kirquendall and Charles [Frederick] Putnam left ourcompany in the morning, to go forward with others, led by Captain Applegate, to mark and open the newroad……and on August 15…… Messrs. [Matthew M.] Nealey [Neeley], Burns, Perkins, and young Kirquendall,left in the morning, and we were thus reduced to seven
wagons.” William D. had already departed: the “young Kirquendall” mentioned by Thornton may have been abrother of William D. Kirquendall. See Note 14. Although Thornton does not enumerate the father, IsaacKirquendall” & family being among the emigrants of 1846, Dale Morgan states, (note 17, p. 402), “(The nameappears in these pages as Kirquendall, Kuquendall, Kuyhendall, etc. Which form, if any, is correct, I have notdetermined? An elder man of the same name, Isaac, was evidently his father).” On the following genealogicalwebsite, the family surname is spelled (Kuykendall).Ref: History of the Kuykendall Family, Part 1 o5 3:(174) Ref: Dead Sea fruit – Define Dead Sea fruit at Dictionary.com: “Something that appears tobe beautiful or full of promise but is in reality nothing but illusion and disappointment.”(175) Ref: Brittanica Encyclopedia: Peter Skene Ogden was born in 1794 in Quebec, Canada and died Sept. 27,1854 at Oregon City, O.T. Peter Skene Ogden was a chief trader for the Hudson’s Bay Co. During the years 1824-1829, he led five trapping expeditions into the upper reaches of the Columbia River.(176) Evidently Thornton made a misnomer regarding Mr. Lovelin. Mr. Lovelin is believed, instead, to be JamesBird Bounds. However; it’s interesting to conjecture that he may also have been wrong, in his statement, when hesays; “One of them was shot in our camp, at one of our halts, with a rifle, by Mr. Lovelin, and with a shotgun byJesse Boone, a great-grandson of the celebrated Indian fighter, Daniel Boone, of Kentucky”. Could Thornton havebeen mistaken and the Jesse mentioned in the same sentence have been Jesse L., (the son of) Mr. Lovelin [JamesBird Bounds]?Ref: Overland in 1846 by Dale Morgan – Virgil Pringle Diary Nov. 14, 1846: “Bury Mrs. Bounds, who died the daybefore, wife of J.B. Bounds. 6 miles.

There they met the families of Ezekiel Kennedy, Reason Hall, Henry Croizen, and a Mr.Lovlen, (who have neither flour, meat, nor salt, and game is very scarce). ‘Baptiste killed two deer and divided themeat among them, and Holt gave them fifty pounds of flour.”Ref: Oregon Spectator Index – 1846-1854; Volume II, K-Z, Inclusive –Prepared by W.P.

Alphonso died in 1850 of fever and thefour sons returned to Oregon.
