..... Notes are written by a Banks family member:
Naomi Banks was born in Arkansas on 7 November 1851 and started west on April 6th, 1852 with her father and mother, a half-brother, half-sister, and her paternal grandparents Thomas Baxter Banks and Susannah Rose (Jarvis) Banks.
There were 104 wagons in the caravan that was headed for the Oregon Country. Like many of the wagon trains that trekked across the hills and plains, some gave out by the wayside, some rushed ahead rapidly, some turned south to California and some plodded on through to the Promised Land.
Naomi Banks's parents eventually pulled into Oregon City, in November 1852. The trip had its dark side even though they had no trouble with Indians, for they buried Grandmother Banks (Susannah Rose Jarvis Banks) at Burnt River and buried Grandfather Banks (Thomas Baxter Banks) at Umatilla River, four miles from the present Indian Reservation.
After years, an effort was made to find his last resting place, but the stockade of saplings that had been placed around the grave had disappeared and sand had drifted over the probable spot. While the Indians were pointing out the burial ground, a man hurried over and told of the assassination of President Garfield.
==
Father Banks (Hilkiah Thomas Banks) was ill with typhoid fever most of the first winter but he pulled through and took his family to Corvallis in the spring.
He took up a donation land claim on which they lived until 1858 when they sold it and bought a farm near Roseburg in the Looking Glass Country. The family increased in numbers after reaching Oregon. Besides the 3 children that left Arkansas, there were 8 boys and 4 girls.
==
Naomi Banks was married to John B. Dickenson of Polk County in 1871. In 1875, they moved to Umatilla County.
