Historical Marker Missing? Replaced?[edit]

This article reference to a federally listed historical marker gives GPS coordinates but a good look on Google Maps at the location seems to show the marker is gone. This article says the marker has been rebuilt in January 2016 by Eagle Scout Jacob Whitehurst of Wilsonville, Oregon and was to be permanently installed two months later. No verification this has been completed. Darryl.P.Pike (talk) 08:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Charged as Horse Thief?[edit]

When Ewing Young and Hall Kelley arrived at fort Vancouver on October 17, 1834 they had driven a number of horses there. Upon arrival they were accused of horse theft but later exonerated by the Governor of California.^[1]

I found this while reading up a different subject but thought worthy of note since it is not mentioned in the main article. There is not enough information on this source alone to warrant alteration of the current article and I am not read enough into either Young or Kelley to do so at this time. This would need to be further researched, cited, and incorporated into the article. I added a Reference section to this page to store the information for future use on the article side.
