Notes:
                       In 1852 Ransome Long and Alvin Clark, with their families, joined the trek to
    Oregon.  This was a year of many hardships, trouble with the Indians and
    Cholera.  Enroute, Alvin lost his wife, Mary, from Cholera.  She left twin
    babies Clara and Clarence (about one year old).
    Neither were Ransome and Rosetta to escape heart-breaking grief.  Their son,
    John, ten years old, also died of Cholera and the sorrowing parents were
    obliged to bury him beside the Old Oregon Trail at North Bluff, on the north
    side of the Platte River.
    They settled in the Willamette Valley near Eugene, Oregon, in 1852.
    Ransome Long & Elizabeth Long were brother and sister.
