Darlene it is great to meet you... I've got several stories that I gathered from The Dalles Chronicle. The death of Benjamin F., the remarriage of Mary Jane, the marriages and deaths of Wayne Upton Roberson and the tragic death of her younger(?) brother Thomas Jefferson Roberson at 16... I also have just been in contact with a Li Ann Lee and she has spent many years researching the Harper Family of Mary Jane... She just sent me a paper that was written by Mary Janes sister Elmira and it describes their trip to Rochester, Washingington by covered wagon train in 1852... Mary Jane was only 2 years old at the time...I also have Mary Janes death certificate... Darlene my email is
dbsubmariner@comcast.net and it might be easier to exchange some of these stories and details... Now you got me excited!!!
