    I have since found more information on Nancy,I found a census record where she came to MO.with
    her brother John C.and is listed as his oldest child (only 9 years difference in their ages).I also found
    her death date and where she is buried,6 Sep 1855.This changes the family story,she was 21 when
    she died not 15,and she died 9 months after Moses Jay was born,not 3 weeks.

    Notes:

    Joseph came across the plains with Kit Carson as a guide. Emaline was in that wagon train also. They came behind the Donner party, but Kit Carson, being more experienced as a quide, decided to go to California through what is now Kit Carson Pas s to the Escalon area and to spend the winter there and then go on to Oregon. They liked it so well there, they stayed in Escalon. Joseph and Emaline were married in California.His marriage license gives Ohio as birth place.(S.J.marr,rec.1854-18 62).Probate filing 6 Dec.1898.#2604-Book E-S.J.Co. Grt.Reg.S.J.#3636 Gives Joseph Marvin age 41,b.Ohio,farmer,Kerrick precinct,21 Mar 1879.Also gives Joseph Marven,age 32 yr. b.Ill,farmer,Dent Twp.6 sep 1866.#3446.This Kit Carson story doesn't hol d up,they were nearly 10 years behind the Donner party.Another family story tells of comming up the valley from Tulare Lake area and having the Valley Elk driving along with there cattle.This way into the state makes more sense if you are lat e in the fall. Carson Pass is worse than Donner.

    Joseph married Emmaline Garwood 10 Oct 1858, Stockton, San Joaquin, California. Emmaline (daughter of Samuel Garwood and Eliza) was born 12 Dec 1838, ,Rhea Co., Tn; died 17 Oct 1904, Stockton, San Joaquin, Ca; was buried 17 Oct 1904, Five Corners, Stockton, San Joaquin, Ca. [Group Sheet]
