Jane Paul Eakin (also known as Jennie) left Chicago Heights, Illinois, in April 1866 and began a four-month journey by wagon to Eugene, Oregon. She traveled with her family including her parents, one set of grandparents, and a number of siblings (she mentions five in her diary). Little is known about Eakin s life before or after her migration to Oregon. She appears to have married later and changed her surname to Hanna.
