Alexander and Nancy Sumpter - Oregon Trail Emigrants of 1853
Somehow I had it in my head that Alexander and Nancy Sumpter (with family including daugher Sarah Jane) came to Oregon in 1850 (a year ahead of Supplina Hamilton). The evidence is clearly to the contrary. Alexander and Nancy Sumpter are documented as having crossed the trail in 1853. Supplina Hamilton and Sarah Jane Sumpter were married in Linn Co, Oregon on June 10th, 1858. (posted by Glen)

Alexander Sumpter party on Umatilla Indian Agency Roster - Aug. 3, 1853.
The US Agent at the Umatilla Indian Agency (established in 1851) diligently recorded the emigrants across the Oregon Trail in 1853. Alexander Sumpter was recorded on the roster as having arrived on August 3, 1853. The record simply says: Sumpter, A. w. 8d. This stood for 'Sumpter, A. with a wife and 8 daughters'. Actually the transcriber of the roster (many years later) made a mistake and put 'B' d., which could have meant 'baby daughter.' Apparently she could not believe that anyone would actually have had EIGHT daughters and no sons!! It was true. Though Alexander and Nancy had sons born to them in Oregon their eight daughters who crossed the Oregon Trail with them in 1853 were: Elizabeth,18; Malinda Lindy,16; Sarah Jane,15; Nancy Lovisa,13; Drucilla Ann,11; Lucinda Cindy,9; Lavinia,4 and Alice J. age 1. To add to all this, 34 year old Nancy crossed the trail pregnant with their first-born son, Alexander Jr., who was born after they arrived in Linn, Co. Oregon in September 1853 (according to the 1900 Census). Crossing the Oregon Trail in 1853 basically meant walking across the Western United States for five months. Riding in the wagons was often unbearable because of the jostling bumpy ride. Talk about an amazing woman! Nancy (Prather) Sumpter was it...

Aunt Effie's Wedding Record - July 3, 1895 - 'My Heart mended as all hearts do.'
Effie (Darland) Hamilton was a younger daughter of Supplina and Sarah Jane (Sumpter) Hamilton. Her letter telling of her growing up years is a priceless family treasure. In it she tells candidly about her first love... that was not to be. This link is to a record of her marriage to Walter Gilbert at age 20. She would later marry James Darland.
Ironically, Effie's marriage was following her sister Pirena "Rena" who 10 and 1/2 months earlier (Sept 19, 1894) had married Samuel S. Gilbert (also of Juliaetta, Idaho). It was of this sister that Effie would later write, "My sister Rena 8 years older was still at home part time. She sewing and fancy work she loves, also loved to tease me about any dates, open my love letters and read them before gave them to me..Until I ditched my first boyfriend, a nice religious boy who's heart was broken, so was mine, but I couldn't take the jokes she pulled, but hearts heal and a good thing so did mine, but I never found a man who loved the same things dear to my heart as the first boy friend. My heart mended as all hearts do."
According to Latah County, Idaho records Samuel and Walter Gilbert had taken out homesteads near Juliaetta in 1893, with Samuel having been deeded some land outright. Both Gilberts were in their early 20s. These were very tough times for the country as the 'Panic of 1893' had devastated the economy. I'm sure Effie and Pirena were glad to have each other close by as they began their married life 'on the homestead' in Southwest Idaho. (posted by Glen)

Charlie Galloway's family - Chancey (also known as Amasa) and Elizabeth Galloway
This link is to a researcher of the Galloway families in the Northwest. Charlie Galloway was the father of Elsie (Galloway) Hamilton the wife of Maurice Hamilton. Charles Galloway was married for a short time to Elsie's mother, Lilly Ramsay. Lilly was 16 years old when she married Charlie. They had two children, Effie and Elsie. Effie (named after Charlie's sister) died of crib death in the care of Grandma (Mary) Ramsay shortly after Lilly had left Charlie. Elsie stayed with Grandma (Elizabeth) Galloway. Lilly Ramsey eventually married a man named Fee in British Columbia. Charlie also remarried. This researcher is not sure who Charlie's father was... either a Amasa or a Chancey Galloway. Based on the details he has and the information we know.. it is clear that Charlie's parents were Chancey Galloway and Elizabeth Jordeu of Whitman County and then Waconda, WA. Chancey also went by A. or Amasa Galloway on Census records. Charlie Galloway and Lillie Ramsay were married in Republic, WA March 13, 1903. (posted by Glen)
