        SYMBIOS
        The Aiken-Booth-Ingram-Richey
        Wagon Train
        From Iowa to Oregon 1852
        Return to History and Genealogy Main Page

        This family wagon train left Salem, Henry County, Iowa on 15 April 1852, and took a diagonal course west northwest through Iowa to reach Council Bluffs 15 May. They waited most of four days before they were able to get their whole party across the Missouri River. They took the road on the north side of the Platte River across Nebraska, passed through Ash Hollow 11 June, and reached Fort Laramie, Wyoming, on 21 June. South Pass was crossed 10 July, then the party took Sublette's Cut-off to Bear River. Passing Fort Hall, Idaho, on 1 August, the wagon train traveled west along the Snake River Plain to Three Island Crossing, which they reached 17 August. They took the main route along the north side of the Snake River, crossed the summit of Oregon's Blue Mountains about 19 September, and reached the Columbia River at The Dalles, Oregon, 5 October. From near The Dalles, they took rafts down the Columbia River to the Willamette Valley.
        The diary of James AKIN, Jr., a partial list of those on the wagon train, and a several generation genealogy of the principal families from the trip, are included in:
        -Webber, B. 1989. The Oregon Trail Diary of James Akin, Jr. in 1852. Medford, OR: Webb Research Group. 101 pages.
        Following is the list of individuals known to have been with this wagon train. Only three people are mentioned in the journal who are not members of the Aiken, Booth, Ingram or Richey families. It seems likely that there were additional wagon drivers and hired hands.
