GARRET BOGART
     Was born in Bergin county, New Jersey, December 14, 1808.  In 1814 his
parent stook him to Hamilton county, Ohio, where he resided until 1833, when he
proceeded to La Porte county, Michigan, and there dwelt one year.  Removing to
Hancock county, Illinois, he there remained during the month of December, 1834,
and in February, 1835, transferred his abode to the Iowa side of the Mississippi
residing on a claim until 1852.  In that year he crossed the plains to Oregon
with one hundred head of cattle, three wagons and one carriage.  On the journey
his cattle all died, and through other catastrophies, when he arrived in the
State, he had but two wagons.  After remaining during that winter in Marion
county, in the spring of 1853, he came to Lane county and settled on the claim
adjoining that on which he now lives.  In 1832 he married in Ohio, Miss
Elizabeth Embrey, and has seven surviving children.
