R.W. Downey
John M. Downey
Louise Downey (married one of the Guess brother on the trail)
Mason F. Guess
Wilson Guess

It also states that Annis Wright married an unknown Downey on the trail.
This journey was described in a letter written by George H. Himes, father of the Oregon Historical Society. He was writing to Ezra Meeker. There were 148 people on this wagon train. This historical book, has many names listed, but I am researching Downey, so I thought this might be helpful to fellow Downey researchers. Patty
