  • Notes 
    • The Chitwood's moved to Illinois in 1829, they moved to Iowa in 1845, Mr. Chitwood crossed the plains to California in 1850, Visited Oregon and returned to Iowa in 1852. He crossed the plains with his family in 1853. He was Captain of the Chitwood Wagon Train. Almost settled in Polk Co. Oregon, Near Salem.
      The original Chitwood's came from England, supposed to be a Chitwood Castle in England which they owned.

      I have not proved these out, the information should be checked again by you. Most of the Chitwood's came from Melissa Bank genealogy list.
