During the long summer of 1849 there was an unbroken line of wagons reaching from horizon to horizon.  Cholera, scurvy, dysentry, accident, thirst, hunger, fatigue, Indian attack, quarrels, discouragement and other ills plagued these trains.  As in other years, all of these obstacles were offset by the hope for a better future in the form of gold or land.The majority of this endless line of humanity was aimed toward the promise of gold and riches in California.  It was estimated that over 35,000 individuals took part in this great overland migration.  Of these, only a very few turned off for Oregon.

 "Emigrant parties are coming in slowly from the mountains.  Inclusive of a company of 27 wagons, the arrival of which is daily expected, there have been 55 wagons arrived in this Valley.  Others are reported as coming." [October 18, 1849 Oregon Spectator]

Below is an incomplete list of the emigrants and trains of 1849.    All women are listed by their maiden name (if known) EVEN if they were married at the time of emigration.

"Pioneer printer, newspaperman and book publisher, was born in Barre, Vt.  After learning the printing business he migrated to California in 1849, where he and John Orvis Waterman were hired by Lot Whitcomb to come to the new townsite of Milwaukie as newspaper publishers.  Arriving in 1850, they established the Western Star.  But the next year the paper was discontinued, and Carter and Waterman published the Weekly TImes at Portland.  In 1853 he sold to Waterman but in 1854 bought the Times back, publishing it until 1859, in partnership with R. D. Austin.  The firm of Carter & Austin, in 1854, published Oregon's first novel, 'Ruth Rover'.  He engaged in job printing for many years, was connected with Oregon's first daily paper, the Daily News, and the 'Western Farmer', both short lived.  In 1857 he married Louisa A. Uzaforage [Uzafovage] of Kentucky." [Dictionary of Oregon History edited by Howard McKinley Corning p. 45]

"CARTER, WILLIAM D.--Born in South Barre, Vermont, in 1828. Learned the printer's trade in Montpelier, and came to Oregon in 1850. Was employed on the first number of the Western Star, which was issued at Milwaukie on November thirteenth of that year, and removed to Portland in the June following, and called the Oregon Weekly Times, of which he was one of the publishers up to 1857. In 1858, in connection with A. G. Walling, he began the publication of the Oregon Farmer, and continued it for about five years. Mr. Carter conducted a job printing office from 1864 to 1869, and has continued to work at his trade ever since. In 1857 he married Miss Louisa A. Uzafovage, and by her has had eleven children, nine of whom are living."  [History of the Willamette Valley by Herbert Lang p. 712]

CLUGAGE, Francis "Frank" (c1816 - 01 Aug 1892): established a stage line from Linkville to Crescent City, California.  He is enumerated as running stage lines in Oregon, California, Washington, Nevada and New Mexico; had 300 mail contracts in 1892;  it was reported that he had 4,000 miles of stage lines in New Mexico by the end of 1890; his home was part of the time in Ohio and part of the time in Atchinson, Kansas; buried Oakdale Cemetery, Marysville, Union County, Ohio; .[Southern Oregon History by Ben Truwe]

CLUGAGE, James (c1818-1886): in some reports he is credited with the discovery of gold at Jacksonville in 1851 which is an error; while he did not originally discover the gold it may be that he prospered the most from it through land speculation; he was instrumental in establishing the town of Jacksonville, fought in the Rogue River War, was a well-known entrepenuer; the 1870 census shows Matilda, 52 living with him and keeping house.  It is not stated if she is his wife or a relative; left Oregon in 1863 to return to Ohio where he remained until his death; buried Oakdale Cemetery, Marysville, Union County, Ohio .[Southern Oregon History by Ben Truwe]

"Customs collector, ethnologist and survey aid, was born at Sunswick, Long Island, the son of George and Laura Wolcott Gibbs.  He was educated at the Round Hill School, Northhampton, Mass., but failing in an attempt to enter West Point, traveled in Europe, and after graduation from Harvard Law School in 1838, entered law practice in New York City.  From 1842-48 he served as librarian for New York Historical Society, but in 1849 resigned to go to the California gold fields; instead he attached himself to the American Rifle Regiment, which marched overlad to Fort Vancouver that year.  He served briefly as deputy collector of customs at Astoria, 1850, and later that year served with Governor John P. Gaines in negotiating treaties with Willamette Valley tribes, compiling a vocabulary of the Calapooya language.  In 1851 he went to California, made maps and reports of a semi-official nature, mining some gold, but returned to Astoria where he served as Collector of Customs, Jan. 1-June 30, 1853, and at Umpqua, 1854-57, then briefly again at Astoria, 1858.  His most worthwhile contribution was as ethnologist and geologist with Capt. George B. McClellan in railroad survey work in the Oregon Country, 1854-55.  He accompanied General Isaac I. Stevens to Puget Sound in 1854, and was appointed brigadier general of Washington Territory in January, 1855, but had not milities to lead.  In June, 1857, he joined the International Boundary Survey as interpreter and geologist, engaged in locating the 49th parallel from the Pacific to the Rockies.  He returned to Washington, D. C. in 1860.  Later he served as secretary to the Hudson's Bay Claims Commission.  In 1871 he married Mary Kane Gibbs, a cousin.  He died in New Haven, Conn.  His journals, letters, reports and studies, variously published, during and following life, are historically informative and important."
