Amazing because big Charley Hoppers second round trip and last trip to Calif is documented to be in 1847 in "William Alexander Trubody and the Pioneers of 1847 " by Charles Camp. Calif.Historical Society Quarterly Volm. XVI. Number 2, June 1937.

It wasn't in 1846.

I misread THE YEAR. The year was 1847 and Trubody didn't list your people but he listed mine:Charles Taylor and ephraim fairchild. I also believe the nicholas Gann family was also in this train led by charlie hopper from FORT HALL TO cALIF.
