    Notes:

    Buried:
    "Thorp-Splawn family cemetery, a place well known in the family and visited often. The last time I was there was about a year ago." email from Ken Burrell 7/10/2014
    Thorp-Splawn Pioneer Cemetery
    Kittitas County
    Washington USA
    This family cemetery is on the north side of I-90 in a field that can be seen from the interstate. There are two Splawn and two Thorp graves, plus 12 unmarked graves. Ten of the 12 are decendants of F. M. Thorp, and two are unidentified. The marked graves are Dulcena Helen and Violet Vivian Splawn, and Fielden M. and Margaret Thorp."

    There are two big stones that can be seen from I 90, and there are three (four?) small white stones in front of the two large ones, each only bearing inittials or one word.

    C. A. (Charles Aarmenus) Splawn's name is on one of the stones...the only mention that he may be buried here. It is his wife and a daughter that are buried here.

    The writing on the big stones:

    ? Margaret, "wife of F.M. Thorp" (Jan 30, 1822 - April 30, 1888), "aged 66 years 3 mos"
    ? Fielden M. Thorp (April 13, 1822 - Feb 11, 1893) -- the base says "F.M. Thorp"
    ? Dulcena Heelen [sic] Splawn, "wife of C.A. Splawn" (April 28, 1844 - May 6,1871), "27 years 8 days" -- the base says "C.A. Splawn"
    ? Violet Vivian Splawn (May 6, 1885 - Jan 24, 1887)

    Notes:

    Marriage Fact:
    Randall Thorp, who is a descendant of John Thorp, said that Hannah and Eliza were given to Fielden Thorp and Margaret Bounds by her father John Bird Bounds (who seemed like he was an amazing person as well), as a wedding gift when they were married in about 1842.

    Hannah and Eliza crossed to Oregon via the Oregon Trail under the company of John C. Thorp, and once emancipated built their home that later was purchased and registered in the National Register of Historic Places by Patricia Benner bennerp@peak.org, who generously shared the wonderful story of Hannah and Eliza Gorman.

    Chronology of Hannah and Eliza is as follows:

    Captains of 1844
    *1: At Council Bluffs, the Stephens-Murphy party started the last week of May and headed westward along the north side of the Platte River to Fort Laramie. This party consisted of about 40 men and 27 wagons. The group was captained by Elisha Stephens and guided, at times, by Caleb Greenwood and his sons. This group were less effected by the bad spring weather than those who traveled the "Kansas" routes. They later were to split at Fort Hall, with a group of about 26 men, 8 women and 17 children heading for California. Isaac Hitchcock is mentioned in several sources as assisting the party in getting to their destination. New documentation suggests that he was in California as early as 1832 and would have had the knowledge to accomplish this task.

    *2: The remaining group, captained by John Thorpe (or Tharp), followed the same route traveled by the American Board missionaries of 1836, and reached the Willamette well ahead of the companies from Independence and St. Joseph.

    Several Christians were in the very first wagon train to take the Applegate Trail, and the leaders of this train were
    Christians. This was the train led by brothers-in-law Harrison Linville and Medders Vanderpool. Vanderpool was married to Margaret Linville, a younger sister to Harrison. Among the other Christians in this train were John Bird Bounds and his wife, Elizabeth Lovelady Bounds. Their oldest daughter, Nancy Bounds Linville, was married to Harrison Linville.

    Except for one 77-year-old man, the oldest travelers in the
    train were Richard and Mary Linville, both in their 70s. They were the parents of Harrison Linville, Margaret Vanderpool and Catherine Crowley.

    Thomas and Mary ("Aunt Polly") Lovelady were also in
    this train. He was a brother to Elizabeth Bounds. Three other Christian families in this train were Absalom and Mary Ann Faulconer, Robert and Sarah Lancefield, and John Burris and Emily Smith. John Burris Smith was a gospel preacher, and his arrival brought the number of Christian preachers in Oregon to four.

    Several Christians were in the very first wagon train to take the Applegate Trail, and the leaders of this train were
    Christians. This was the train led by brothers-in-law Harrison Linville and Medders Vanderpool. Vanderpool was married to Margaret Linville, a younger sister to Harrison. Among the other Christians in this train were John Bird Bounds and his wife, Elizabeth Lovelady Bounds. Their oldest daughter, Nancy Bounds Linville, was married to Harrison Linville.

    Except for one 77-year-old man, the oldest travelers in the
    train were Richard and Mary Linville, both in their 70s. They were the parents of Harrison Linville, Margaret Vanderpool and Catherine Crowley.

    Thomas and Mary ("Aunt Polly") Lovelady were also in
    this train. He was a brother to Elizabeth Bounds. Three other Christian families in this train were Absalom and Mary Ann Faulconer, Robert and Sarah Lancefield, and John Burris and Emily Smith. John Burris Smith was a gospel preacher, and his arrival brought the number of Christian preachers in Oregon to four.

    ---
    Another account of this pioneering train on the Applegate
    Trail commented: "The travelers found a shortage of food for
    their livestock, a scarcity of game for their own food and
    backbreaking toil in building a track for their wagons."28
    Unfortunately, they also had to confront the horrors of death on the trail. In a period of just ten days, Harrison and Nancy Linville each lost a parent.
    Elizabeth Bounds, Nancy's mother, died from the privations of the trail on November 13 and was buried the next day. She died near present-day Roseburg in Douglas County. After burying her on the trail, the wagons passed over the road several times to obliterate any sign of the grave. This was done to eliminate any possibility of Indians robbing her grave or of wild animals digging up her grave.
