Some settlers also had difficulty finding clean water sources along certain portions of the Oregon Trail. Many people died of cholera, smallpox, and dysentery before reaching Oregon. The cholera epidemic of left thousands dead in the Nebraska and Kansas portions of the Oregon Trail.

Enoch Conyers was on the Oregon Trail the same year as J. Conyers was also a farmer and was impressed by the abundance of grazing land in the Bear River Valley.
