Notes on expansion

The Grand and Glorious PDX history, etc., etc. Has a lot more detail about Lambert's early life--I only hit the highlights.

A (incompletely sourced) Timeline

1847 William Meek (Special:WhatLinksHere/William_Meek) arrives in Milwaukie
1847 Henderson Luelling arrives in Milwaukie
1848 (or 1851) Seth Lewelling arrives in Milwaukie
1850 Lambert arrives in Milwaukie
1851 Lambert works for Meek & Henderson
1852 Seth goes to work for Henderson
1854 Henderson & Meek Leave for CA
???? Henderson sells his interest to Seth
1856 H.W. (Henry) Eddy joins Meek & Luelling to form Meek, Luelling & Eddy
1857 or 1858 Henderson (?) sells to Meek & Eddy
1859 Lambert buys out Meek & Eddy (Lambert does not continue in the nursery business)

or

1859 Meek sells 1/2 to Henry Miller and Lambert
1859 Seth owns outright? (or runs the nursery side of the business that Lambert bows out of)

https://archive.org/details/pioneerdaysofore02clar/page/n4/mode/2up?q=Henderson

The Eddy, Luelling, and Meek families all intermarried: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/31668287/mary-meek

Henderson's son Albert may have been involved in the nursery business as well. And brother John Luelling was involved in the business in California.

This says *Henderson* is the one who later changed his name to Luelling when he went to California. But Lewelling Blvd in Cherryland, California doesn't seem to bear this out.

Let's see if we can sort this out without synthesis or original research.
