Notes: Oregon Pioneer Ledger Notes:
Nativity: Tennessee
Family Contribution:
Family lore has it
that he led a wagon train from St Louis, but I think
he and his family were only part of a train. He, his
wife, Nancy Jane Melton, and son, Marshall, came to the Willamette
valley via wagon train, I think in the 1850's. He
definitely is a pioneer. His son Marshall
returned and joined another wagon train later in the
50's to return to Oregon. Marshall's son John
Nelson Roberts is my grandfather also buried in the
cemetery. (By Mike Proffitt)
