Note

<b>FRANCIS HARVEY STURGILL</b> moved from Ashe Co. NC to Scott Co. VA with his father's family in 1830. In Scott Co. he met and married Jemima Caroline Richmond in 1840. When his father and other brothers and sisters decided to move to Sullivan Co. MO in 1840 Francis and Jemima went with them. All of their children were born in Missouri.
In 1863 two of Francis's sons, George and William, joined the gold rushto Virginia City Montana. After one winter George returned to Missouri and told the family what he had heard about Oregon Territory. During the winter of 1864-65 the Sturgill family and several other related families made preparations for another migration, this time to Oregon.
In the spring of 1865 the wagon train, with George acting as Wagonmaster, began the long trek to Oregon. Some wagons were drawn by horses, some by mules and some by oxen. The Sturgills took along milk cows, chickens, turkeys, geese and a few head of blooded horses for breeding stock.Francis's wife,Jemima, became ill while on the trail and died in Idahowhile the train had stopped to search for a place to cross the Snake River, she was buried there. This crossing, known as Sturgill's Bar was covered by the Hells Canyon dam.
Winter was approaching when the wagon train finally stopped in the Grand Ronde valley in present Baker County, Oregon, USA. everyone, including women and children, had to work frantically to prepare their permanent home in thePowder River valley near Baker, OR. In the summer of 1877 Francis received a severe cut in the arm while mowing hay and died from loss of blood. He was buried in the Masonic cemetery at Baker Oregon. -pg 91
