"Joseph Turnidge with his family left their home at Oregon, Holt County, Missouri about the 18th of May 1846 and came with the caravan leaving Liberty, Missouri. .....They lived at North Yamhill the first winter. The following spring they went to Linn County and settled in the forks of the Santiam near Jefferson, Oregon, where Joseph took up a Donation Land Claim (No.147) of 640 acres. They had to stop at Thomas Munkers, with Harrison Turnidge (brother of Joseph, he died there and was buried in the old burying ground, where all the Munkers family were buried). He died of white swelling." This account was found at: http://ibssg.org/miller/chronography.htm
