Family story is as follows: John Baker Hogg and Mary Elisabeth Jump Hogg, with their two living chldren, Johnny age 10 and Sarah age 3, by wagon left Missouri in 1872 headed to Oregon. Mary became ill and died and was buried along the trail outside of Oklahoma. John proceeded to Eastern Oregon and is found in North Powder, Oregon in the 1880 Census with his daughter, going by Jane, boarded a short distance from him in the Pilcher home. In the same census his son Johnnie is boarded in the home of Smith Jones in Cottonwood, Oregon.
Some believe he marriad again to a Mary J Hughes in 1873 in Polk County, Missouri. I do not feel this is correct as his son and daughter always said they had arrived in Oregon when they were 10 and 3 years old and never ever mentioned a step-mother. There is a marriage noted of Mary J Hughes marrying John B Hogg 1873 but no verification that the middle name was Baker and could have been another John B. Hogg. The fact that he was in Oregon by 1872 with his two children makes this marriage doubtful. I have also seen a record showing that John B and Mary Hughes had a son Jack in 1874 in Missouri which convinces me this is not John Baker Hogg, my gg grandfather.
Therefore, with the information I have collected and the family information Mary could be buried in the family plot in Missouri but in my opinion is probably buried outside of or just inside the north eastern corner of Oklahoma under a wagon trail believed to be a portion of the Sante Fe Trail.
