    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.
