Ann Elizabeth Sherrill, affectionately known as Annie, was born in Oregon a year after the wagon train arrived there. Her parents are next up the tree -- James Sherrill and his wife Mary Ann Evans. James' parents are Hugh Sherrill and his wife Ann Litten. They had their own adventures, but didn't go on the Oregon Trail.
Mary Ann's father is Richard Evans, and her mother is Nancy Ann Toone. They were grandparents when they started out on the Oregon Trail, with newly-wed Mary Ann (Evans) Sherrill, her husband James, and Mary Jane Holloway, the one year old baby whose mother died before the journey. Mary Ann's sister Eliza Jane Evans is Mary Jane's mother, and her aunt Mary Ann is raising her.
Richard and Nancy 's son Edward, age twenty-two, and young William Holloway, the father of the baby Mary Jane are also on the wagon train.
Tomorrow I will tell you more of their story.
