Amos Bargdoll, Clerk !COMMENTS: The above1858 probate records of Livingston County, Mo indicate that the three brothers (Henry, Milbury, and Ira) went to CA from MO during the early 1850's., but it is not know whether they went together. It would appear that Henry probably went directly to Sutter Co, CA first (perhaps with the family of Alfred Rockholt-or his widow and children). It is known that Milbury drove three teams of oxen from St. Joseph, with the Emery Lett family to the "John Day country" in Oregon. He is listed as a legal voter in Benton Co. with his uncle, Reuben, and cousi William, in a territorial enumeration taken in 1854. He had moved on to Sutter Co., CA by 1860. Ira was not listed in the 1854 Territorial Census for Benton Co. Their younger sister, Harriet, probably came later, since she was apparently living in Missouri at the time of the probate in 1858. She married Ezra Wallen at the Presidio in San Francisco in 1865. John Hoskins Burget and his other sister, Dama Abia, by this time married to Leander Moore in MO, went from Missouri to Montague Co., TX sometime after the date of the probate document of 1858 and 1859; since John has been pinpointed as being in Montague County in 1859. Both John and Dama and their families are shown in the 1860 Federal Census for Montague County, Texas. By then, Dama had married Ithamer Singletary, who had a family from a previous marriage. It is not known what happened to the youngest child, David, except that he apparently died in his early twenties.
