Notes for John Flavel Holcomb:
"John moved from Vernon, Ohio, to Hannibal, MO, about 1849; went to Shasta Co., CA in the "Gold Rush of 1849", where he succeeded faily in gold "diggings". Becoming well pleased with the West, he returned to Hannibal by boat resolved to remove his family to California and after a year, in 1851, in Mo. to arrange for the move. An emigrant train was organized for overland trip in wagons. He was made its Captain, with the duty to ride on horse each day ahead of the wagons to locate water, a site for the camp that night with best feeding spots for horses and oxen, leaving his 14 year old son, Grove Robert to manage the team transporting the family for every day of the trip of four months until its end in the fall of 1852, settling in Yuba Co., California. He co-operated with the US Military Escort provided for protection against Indian attacks enroute, "crossing the plains".

John died suddenly at his homestead in Yuba Co., from exhaustion in the heat while digging a well. His widow, Antoinette, and children Florence, Thaddeus and Katherine are recorded as a family in the 1870 census of Oregon House, Yuba Co.
