Levi Rees of Oregon

I know it's been a couple of years since you posted this message, so I'm not sure if you are still responding to follow-ups.Levi Marion Rees is the brother of my ggg-grandmother, Eliza Rees Freeman.I have some information on Levi that I have received from a person who has the Rees genealogy journals and would be happy to share what I do have.
I'm trying to track Levi's sister Eliza's family.They started out in North Carolina.Levi and his first wife seem to have moved to Douglas Co. Missouri with Eliza and her husband Humphrey Posey Freeman and children.They appear with Levi and wife one right after the other in the 1860 Douglas Co. Missouri census.Levi then moved to Nebraska, I'm assuming again with the Freeman's since they show up during the same time period again.By the 1870's, however, the family moved back to Missouri due to locusts ruining their crops in Nebraska.I think, but am not sure, that when Levi and family moved to Douglas Co. Oregon, my gg-grandmother Mary Freeman Johnston and hisband Charles Jackson Johnston moved at the same time.I don't have proof of that yet and am searching for it.
I would love to hear from you.
