I am looking for information on Emmanuel Moetinger(Madinger) who had an orchard/vineyard near Walthea in the 1850's. His daughter, Amelia, was born in Troy and lived with Emmanuel's brother, Jacob, in St. Joseph, MO. My grandfather, Harold Ford, was the son of Amelia, who married Elijah Ford from St. Joesph. Apparently Emmanuel made a few wagon trips out to Oregon to carry supplies for settlers.
