Jonas drove an ox team and took his place with the men of the wagon train in defending their belongings from marauding Indians. ******** Married Josephine Patterson on 9 Dec 1877, Walla Walla, Washington Territory ******** Source: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~harringtonfamilies/Buroker1.htm The following is brief biographical sketch of Jonas Buroker, as published in "The History of Walla Walla County" by Prof. W.D. Lyman, 1901. Jonas owned three homesteads at that time. The certificates for two are still in the family. One certificate was originally issued to George A. Evans, January 15, 1875, for 161.75 acres, and signed by U.S. Grant. The other was issued to Jonas Buroker, February 10, 1881, for 120 acres, and signed by Rutherford B. Hayes. The Bio reads as follows: " J. BUROKER, a farmer, residing five and a half miles east of Walla Walla, was born in [Champaign County] Ohio, January 18, 1845. He lived there until twelve years old, then moved with the remainder of the family to Montgomery County, Missouri, whence three years later, he went to [Davis County] Iowa. He was a resident of that state until April, 1864, then set out across the plains with [ox] teams to Walla Walla. He remained here from the time of his arrival [September 1, 1864] until September, 1865, when he went to Linn county, Oregon, where the ensuing three years passed. Returning then [1868/69] to this county, he took a homestead and purchased a quarter section of land on Mill Creek, not far from his present place of abode. In June, 1883, he bought the farm on which he now lives. He is the owner of three hundred and seventy five acres of fine land, and is engaged principally in producing [winter] wheat. An industrious, progressive, enterprising man, he stands well in the community in which he resides, though he does not seem to be specially ambitious for personal preferment, or leadership among his confreres. He was married in Walla Walla County, December 9, 1877, to Miss Josephine Patterson, also a pioneer of the west, and they have one child, Claudia."
