The great re-inforcement (1840) www.oregonencyclopedia.org
Oregon Pioneers of 1840 www.oregonpioneers.com
The female side of the family has been here even longer than the Collvers. Grammie Mentzer (Katherine McCormick Mentzer) 
would tell her Great Great Grandfather Lewis Hubbel Judson came in the "Great Reinforcement" of Methodist Missionaries in 1840. 
She took pride they sailed in the barque Lausanne, as among the pioneers there was much more status (and money) to have sailed around 
Cape Horn rather than take a Wagon train.

JUDSON, Lewis Hubbell Rev. (1809-1880): m1. 1831 ROBERTS, Elmira; m2. 1846 HAWKINS, Nancy; s/o Lewis and Sally (Hubbell) Judson; 
member of the Methodist "Great Reinforcement" that came to Oregon on the ship Lausanne via Cape Horn; on board of trustees and was 
chairman of committee to draw up by-laws for Oregon Institute; after Mission was reorganized in 1844 he bought the mills near the 
Mission for $6000; became surveyor for Marion County; buried in Salem Pioneer Cemetery, Salem, Marion Co, OR

His Daughter Helen Cooper Judson was six at the time and was the last person to arrive on the ship to die in 1903. She married John 
Burch McLane who came in the first Wagon train...and he became Indian Agent for the whole state of Oregon. When the Mission in Salem shut 
down he acquired 800 Acres of what is now downtown Salem.

Thier daughter Anna Mariah Isobel McLane married the Civil War Veteran James Hodson McCormick, Grammies Grandfather... The menfolk on my 
Mother's side of the family made thier money the old fashioned way...they married it.

Here is an exerpt about Lewis Hubbel Judson provided by his son.  "JUDSON, LEONARD B [sic-H.]--Mr. Judson was one of the Methodist missionaries 
who came to Oregon in 1840 in the ship Lausanne. He was born in New York State. He now resides in Salem. To use his own words: 
"I saw the Willamette Valley when it was a wilderness, peopled only by wild Indians and the Hudson s Bay Company subjects; 
witnessed the first Provisional Government in the new territory; saw Portland when its site was a dense body of timber; 
saw Oregon City when only the log cabin of a single trader was there; saw Salem when only two buildings were up, and the 
whole valley above was but a trackless wilderness, roamed over by the red man; lived the first year on boiled wheat slicked over with Hudson's 
Bay molasses, strong enough to go alone, with an occasional cake made of flour ground in the coffee mill". [History of the Willamette Valley 
by Herbert Lang p.604]
