It started with Pierre Dorion, an interpreter for the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1739-1810), when he married Holy Rainbow. Pierre was sent back to take care of other business and was not considered part of the Lewis-Clark Expedition. A son, Pierre Dorion, married Marie Aoise Laguvoise (different interpretations of last name). Marie was a Yankton Sioux- Ioway Indian of Oklahoma. Pierre and Marie joined "The Hunt-Wilson Expedition." Marie was the only woman. Along the way to the west Marie was out looking for berries in Oregon in the winter. Everyone in the Expedition was massacred. This left Marie with two small children Marie Aoise Laguvoise Dorion and a horse. She killed the horse for shelter and food. After two months, Marie had with permission of ??? to look for help [email protected] Marie married again, this time to Louis Joseph Venier. The story (only a story) is that one of her two boys did not like Louis and killed him. This was a strange child. He ran off in later years and was never per heardp from again. Marie had many relatives in the west, especially in Oregon and Washington. Jean Baptiste Toupin and Marie settled in Oregon where she became well know. When she died, she was buried around or under the St. Louis Catholic Church in Gervais, Oregon. This was unheard of, burying Indians in the Catholic Church. There is a dedication sign in the church. There are several roadside Markers and a room named after her in Eastern Oregon University. The computer has many, many stories about her. Jane Kirkpatrick, the author, wrote three novels about Marie: "A Name of Her Own," "Every Fixed Star," and "Hold Tight the Thread." Several members of the family have met with Jane more than once, [the] last being at a dedication for Marie at a new Kiosk in Keizer, Oregon. It is near the shopping center in a nice area with a fountain. This summer there will be another dedication in Astoria, Oregon. There are also books called "More Than Petticoats" about pioneer women in several states where a story of Marie is written. Starting with Kelsy's grandmother on her father's side: Winifred Beryl Quigley, born Jan. 12, 1923 Cathlamet, WA, married Herbert A. Benton born Sept. 8 1921. Leonard Quigley married Della Mae Souvigny who was born Nov. 9, 1885 Cathlamet, WA. Francoise Xavier Souvigny, born Oct. 13, 1850 to Rose Francis LaFramboise, born Nov 25, 1869, died Aug 2, 1951, Mulnomah, Oregon. Francoise LaFramboise, born Nov 2 1811 married to Denise Marie Dorion born 1834 Ft. Walla Walla and died 13 Sept 1874. Jean Baptiste Dorion, born 1809 Missouri Territory, married to Josette Dorion line: Grandaughter Kelsy Benton, Richard Benton Cayuse born 1817 Ft. Walla Walla; (father), Patricia Mausen (aunt); author Jane Kirkpatrick, Venier Pierre Dorion born 1756 Montreal, Quebec married to Marie Aoise line: Jennifer Gobin Bailes, her father Rick Kelsey; Laguvoise who was born 1786 Missouri ,Indian Territory; Marie at St. Louis Catholic Church, Gervais, Oregon. died Sept. 6 1850 St. Louis Parish, Oregon Territory) Pierre Dorion born 1739 in Montreal, Quebec, and died 1810 in Fort Osage, Missouri, married to Holy Rainbow. LaFramboise Ave. that runs alongside Fruit Valley School is named after their family. The LaFramsoise’s lived by Vancouver Lake in the early years; they are on a county map..I was in contact by e-mail with a Leonard Dorion in Montreal before he died and he had researched around 5000 Dorions. Among things that Jennine has volunteered for at CCGS, she is probably most known for her leadership in leading field trips to do research in Salt Lake City. 2 Trail Breakers – Vol. 37, July 2010 to June 2011 Clark County Genealogical Society, Vancouver, Washington ESTHER CLARK SHORT On the walking map of the Old City Cemetery which was, created by our genealogy society, there are snapshots of some of the people buried in the cemetery.

    Part I, “Our Manifest Destiny Bids Fair for Fulfillment”: An Historical Overview of Vancouver Barracks, 1846-1898, with suggestions for further research Military men and women pose for a group photo at Vancouver Barracks, circa 1880s Photo courtesy of Clark County Museum written by Donna L. Sinclair Center for Columbia River History Funded by The National Park Service, Department of the Interior Final Copy, February 2004 This document is the first in a research partnership between the Center for Columbia River History (CCRH) and the National Park Service (NPS) at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The Park Service contracts with CCRH to encourage and support professional historical research, study, lectures and development in higher education programs related to the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve (VNHR). CCRH is a consortium of the Washington State Historical Society, Portland State University, and Washington State University Vancouver. The mission of the Center for Columbia River History is to promote study of the history of the Columbia River Basin. Introduction For more than 150 years, Vancouver Barracks has been a site of strategic importance in the Pacific Northwest. Established in 1849, the post became a supply base for troops, goods, and services to the interior northwest and the western coast. Throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century soldiers from Vancouver were deployed to explore the northwest, build regional transportation and communication systems, respond to Indian-settler conflicts, and control civil and labor unrest. A thriving community developed nearby, deeply connected economically and socially with the military base. From its inception through WWII, Vancouver was a distinctly military place, an integral part of the city’s character.

    "Indian War" of 1849-1850

    Not a Shot Fired: Fort Chokonikla and the "Indian War" of 1849-1850 By Michael G. Schene* As the Second Seminole War continued to drag on, draining the gov- ernment treasury and alarmingly depleting the ranks of the regular army, officials in Washington reluctantly concluded that they could not force the red men to leave Florida and that their only course of action was to negotiate a treaty with the Indians that would confine them to the watery wilds of South Florida. Some of the Seminoles did agree to stop fighting at this time and consented to move on to a reservation - which was located in a desolate part of the peninsula.1 Many of the warring Indians did not recognize the treaty, however, and continued to attack whites whenever it was feasible. When a band of these warriors ambushed a detachment of soldiers on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River in 1839, the government decided to resume its efforts to drive the pernicious savages out of the territory.2 After three more years of ineffectual campaigning, the government decided to end the conflict and began to withdraw its troops from Florida. At the same time authorities told the Seminoles that they wanted them to join the rest of their tribe in Arkansas and gave each emigrating warrior a cash payment, a rifle, and rations for a year. Those Indians who were adamant about remaining were allowed to do so and were advised that they could live on the tract of land designated earlier for them. The land selected for the Indians was a swampy, piney-woods tract that was flooded for much of the year.4 Most of the Seminoles had been residing in this area for several years and were inured to living in this *Mr.

    STIRLINGS OF ARDOCH AND GRAHAMS OF AIRTH FAMILY LETTERS: A PERSONAL VIEW OF THE VALUE OF KINSHIP Transcribed and Edited by Sarah Harrison 1 Introduction This book is about the search for the man in the photograph on a carte de visite taken in Exeter, date unknown. His name was Thomas Stirling and the little I knew about him came from a biography of his son, Waite Stirling, Bishop of the Falkland Islands1. The author, Frederick Macdonald, hinted at some reticence on Waite's part to reveal very much : “The story of his life, so far as he allowed it to be known...” but that his father, “Captain Thomas Stirling, belonged to the family of Sir Henry Stirling, created a Baronet in 1666...” From his granddaughter, Minnie's, Birthday Book I found that Thomas was born 6th October 1792, but that was all. One of the great joys of living in the age of the Internet is that it has become possible to do research without having to travel to archives or to spend weeks on fruitless hunches. Using online resources, I discovered from the 1851 census that Thomas was born in Jamaica . I traced the Stirling Baronetcy to that of Ardoch but could find no mention of any Thomas born in 1792. I had found that the Stirlings of Keir and Kippendavie had estates in St James Jamaica so searched for Thomas there. Then, by chance, I found the burial of Charles Stirling Esquire 18 January 1795 in St Catherine's Cathedral, Spanish Town. Through the Jamaican almanacs I traced him to Ardoch Penn in St Ann's.
