Mr. David M. Bond arrived on the Oregon Territory on 13 September 1852 and discovered a piece of farm land not yet claimed near Peoria and built the necessary markers at it's corners, in Linn County. Then he hurried to applied for an Oregon Donation Land Claim, No. 1346 at the United States Land Office in Oregon City, Clackamas County.
David was married to Mary Parrish in Linn County, on 29 Sept 1852 and they set about quickly building a temporary home for themselves on his land claim.
On 05 Oct 1852, was back in Oregon City where he secured his Oregon Donation Land Claim. After finding four neighbors that would write affidavits as to his good character and their knowing that he had worked on his claim continually fulfilling his contract for the free land by building a home and making other needed improvements to it.
By this time fall was upon them and dry fire wood and food for the winter had to up most on their minds. Soon the roads would be almost impassible with mud and the Willamette River would become harder to navigate from fall rains. Their neighbors would become dear to them.
