Why there is no mention of the first french missionnary - look at this site http://www.rootsweb.com/~orspmhs/stpaulindex.html It seems as Jason Lee don't have a lot of job to do in this area with french and Irish catholics of the willamette valley and French Prairie. The first Oregon country Government was voted by Americans and french settlers and at this time 6 900 peoples lived here, a majority of french and french canadians, this changed only after the gold rush started..70.68.92.3 06:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Samuel Thurston
Note Thurston did not arrive in Oregon until 1847, two years after Lee died, and Lee was back east at this point. It is very unlikely the two ever met, and certainly Lee did not conspire with Thurston before Congress or the Supreme Court, and Thurston died in 1850, which I believe was before the McLoughlin land claim issues would have made it to SCOTUS.
