George W. Ebbert
George Wood "Squire" Ebbert (1810–1890) was a mountain man and early settler in the Oregon Country. Born in Kentucky, he settled on the Tualatin Plains in what would become Oregon and participated in the Champoeg Meetings that created a government prior to the formation of the Oregon Territory. During the Cayuse War he traveled with Joseph Meek across the Rocky Mountains to ask Congress for assistance with the war.
==Early life==
Ebbert was born on June 10, 1810, in Augusta, Kentucky.〔Corning, Howard M. ''Dictionary of Oregon History''. Binfords & Mort Publishing, 1956.〕 His father died while Ebbert was still a boy, but left his mother well off financially.〔Clarke, S. A. 1905. ''(Pioneer days of Oregon history. )'' Portland: J.K. Gill Company.〕 At age eight, he shot and killed a cow that had rampaged through the family home, earning him the nickname Squire.〔 At age thirteen Ebbert became an apprentice machinist, but left with only three months to go of the seven-year apprenticeship to elope to St. Louis, Missouri with a woman against his mother's wishes.〔 Ebbert's mother refused to attend their wedding, so he abandoned the plans and joined William Sublette as a fur trapper.〔
In August 1830, he was bought out as a partner of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company by a group including Jedediah Smith.〔Kohnen, Patricia. . Accessed October 2, 2007.〕 Later as a contract fur trapper, he worked for the Hudson's Bay Company between 1833 and 1836, arriving in the Oregon Country in 1833.〔 Following work for that fur trading company, he worked as a blacksmith at the Whitman Mission and the mission of Henry H. Spalding at Lapwai from 1837 to 1838.〔
In 1839, Ebbert moved to the Willamette Valley and became the first white settler at Champoeg.〔 After a short time farming there, he sold his land on the French Prairie in 1841 to Andre Longtain for 100 bushels of wheat.〔〔(Oregon and Family History - "Entwined". ) Heritage Trail Press, accessed October 2, 2007.〕 In 1841, Ebbert arrived on the Tualatin Plains in the Tualatin Valley north of Champoeg to settle.〔Buan, Carolyn M. ''This Far-Off Sunset Land: A Pictorial History of Washington County, Oregon''. Donning Company Publishers, 1999.〕 There he met with other early settlers of the Plains such as Joseph Gale, Robert Newell, and Joseph L. Meek among others.〔
