Last night while I sat dreaming my mind went running back
To the time when I was young and first entered on life’s track
And | thought of that old country across the deep blue sea
Where I had spent my childhood and never more would see

Welcome to a place to share and save stories of the Dungeys and McClellans. The hope is to record all of the memories and tales that were shared by the clan before us to give to the clan ahead of us, now available only inside the heads of our senior generation.

From their home in Texas around 1888 at 31 years of age, Thomas and Julia Dungey packed a wagon and with their three children, started the trip to Oregon. You can imagine the ordeal these English transplants had to endure on their very long journey to their new home in Galls Creek, twenty miles north of the California border. But keep in mind, Tom had traveled to the U.S. in 1876 when he was 19 years old.
