Please note: While the Raymond Burkhart family left in 1846 for Oregon, due to his pending birth as they came down the west side of the Blue Mountains in Umatilla County, the family diverted to the Whitman Mission in 1846 and brother George Fred was born in October. The family "falled and wintered" at the mission until the late spring/summer 1847 when they joined up with the 1847 James Curl Wagon Train to Linn County, Oregon and arrived via the Barlow Road in October 1847. (On November 29, 1847, the Whitman Massacre happened.)
