Does anyone know the genealogy of Allen Hurlbut who was associated with the Bozeman Trail. Per family information he was a relative of Louisa Eliza Hurlbut who was married to Charles Belden Churchill Jr. of Fulton Co., IL.
Allen Hurlbut
1864:
THE BOZEMAN TRAIL WAS ESTABLISHED. Four trains consisting of 1,500 people departed the North Platte River at Richard's Bridge east of present Casper and traveled the trail to the Montana settlements. The route of the trail this year was established by John Bozeman, Allen Hurlbut, and Jim Bridger. The only encounter with local tribes was an attack by a large Cheyenne and Sioux war party against the Townsend train, on the Powder River east of present Kaycee, Wyoming.
