1843-44-45-46, and did not come across any Hockersmith's. Do you know
which year they went? You mentioned that they took the 'new Oregon
Trail'.. would that be either 'Hasting's Cut-off' or the 'Dalles Route'?

time periods.

I checked the index of the book THE BRAZEN OVERLANDERS OF 1845 by
Donna Wojcik Montgomery and did not find either of the surnames mentioned.
Nor did I find any such surnames in her listing of people who came in 1845.

Sorry it wasn't there.
