Departure Date

Departure date is January 4, 2010, approximately 120 years after William and Sarah began their westward migration to Kansas where they homesteaded just west of Parker.  William and Sarah were married in Martinsburg, West Virginia in 1846(it was part of Virginia then) which will be one of my first stops. They began their westward migration over a period of years departing from Martinsburg, making stops in Springfield, OH, Urbana, OH and Richmond, IN based on the birthplaces of their children.  It appears they headed for Kansas from Richmond, IN ca. 1873.  Their vehicle may have looked like the one above.  My vehicle will be the 2009 version of the above closely resembling the one here.
