Jefferson City Missouri Friday April 20th

Left home today. My three sisters Amanda, Carolyn, Fatima(?) and I made in our our (twice) family carriage driven by two oxen. My brother Jasper rode his own horse. Jackson Poole (____ I am going to marry as soon as we reach California) is in charge of the train.

This is his 11th trip across the plains so one more people trust in his getting us across safely. There are 30 of us altogether. Some of our friends traveled with us to my brothers where we stayed all night. We ___ a pleasant time but we girls were too excited to sleep.

The above was subject of correspondence between Megan Crosno and other researchers of this line in October of 2017. The following is captured from that correspondence:

Kate,

I'm adding my notes from the journal I have personally seen and transcribed (added in line and in red). Looking at the last entry of this email it looks like my notes I emailed about before since it mentions Oakland and taking pictures of the journal.

My aunt has the journal at her house in Susanville and I am hoping to transcribe the rest of it someday soon. It was a copy of the original since the back of the notepad says, "Jan 14 '08" and their trip started in 1860 according to calendar dates. My grandma (Dorothy Goodrick) —> mother (Margaret Leslie Davis) —> Margaret’s mother (Wilmas A Poole) —> her great grandma’s (Wilmas') mother was Margaret E Jameson and had the journal in her possession...

...It looks like my grandma's handwriting over the original date. My guess is two or more of the siblings kept a journal and then it was copied by a few people. I can't remember where I heard it, but I remember hearing there was another journal in an Oakland museum or a history room awhile back. I went to the downtown Oakland library two years ago and they did not have one. I'll try contacting some of the other historical rooms soon.

I've tried to piece together all of the journals I could find online from this trip.This is still a work in progress and wont be finished until I get my Aunt's journal's missing pieces (she lives 8+ hours away and can't scan the items herself). Amanda and Pheobe seem to have the same journal with a few details copied incorrectly (like miles):

Sunday, April 29

Margaret

We have traveled 15 Miles today over some beautiful country. We came through Leroy a flourishing little town on the Neasho River, and are camped on Golf Creek. I have been very lonesome today. It has been very cold all day, the wind blows very hard.

Amanda

Made a drive of 14 miles. Came though Leroy a flourishing little town. I do not like traveling of the Sabbath but I am obliged to do so. I admire this part of the country very much but timber and water are scarce. We are caped tonight on Wolf Creek, one of the tributaries of Neosho.

Pheobe Caroline

Made a drive of 14 miles. Came through Leroy, a flourishing little town. I do not like traveling on the Sabbath but I am obliged to do so. I admire this part of the country very much but the timber and water is scarce. We are camped tonight on Wolf Creek, one of the tributaries of the Neosho.

Thursday, June 21

Margaret

10 miles more of the worst road I ever saw. Too tired to write.

Amanda

Travelled 3 miles the country very rough here sure. Mountains high and rugged. We have splendid water and grass, every one seems to be in fine spirits. I sometimes wish myself back home but I always get along very well.

Pheobe Caroline

Travelled 8 miles. The country very rough here sure. Mountains high and rugged. We have splendid water and grass. Everyone seems to be in fine spirits. I sometimes wish myself back home but I get along very well.

I haven't checked the dates, but that is interesting that they might be incorrect. I'll try to go through what I have and see what doesn't match up. I'm hoping to have free time until December and can try finishing the journal. When it is I will share it with this group.
