In 1849, he moved to the Oregon Territory and the next year settled on the north side of the Columbia River.〔 Before moving he married Elizabeth Ann Findley in Oregon City on March 27, 1850, and they had eight children.〔 Chenoweth and family settled at the new community of Cascade, located at the lower set of rapids on the river. There he operated a business portaging cargo and passengers around the set of rapids.〔 This consisted of a mule powered train pulling cars over a two to four mile (6 km) track. Opened in 1851, it was the first railroad in what is now the state of Washington.〔
