Anders Jensen Schou (1783 - 1847)

Born in Skovhus, Denmark on 1783 to Jens Mathisen and Kirsten Christensdatter. He passed away on 1847 in Aalborg, Denmark.
----
Anders Jensen Schou was born in 1783, I find him on the 1787 Census with the father Jen Mathisen and mother Kirsten Christensdatter. When I go into the parish records in Astrup, Aalborg I find only Jen and Kirsten and Anders as 4 years old, this would make him born in 1783. I researched and found the following children born to Jens and Kristen. None are on the 1787 census, only Anders and his parents. There is a Mathias-opslag 271 born 9 Jul 1783, Christen Jensen born 11 Jun 1766-opslag 229, Anne Dorthe born 11 Jun 1769-opslag 245 she died 11 Jun 1769-opslag 466, Anne Dorthe born 10 May 1770-opslag 229, she died 21 Oct 1770-opslag 468, Mathias born 10 May 1772-opslag 255, Mariane born 5 Nov 1775-opslag 263, ?(Peder) born 12 Oct 1777-opslag 263 and Kjirsten born 25 Jun 1781. The records I have say the children died before 1791. I can find no death records. Jens died 13 Feb 1791, opslag 477.

My records say that Kirsten died 5 Mar 1793 or 1795. I find the hustru of Niels Mathisen on that date. I would like to know when Anders Jensen Schou started using the last name Schou and find his birth record. Thank you.

Maternal DNA

2012-01-08T11:27:00.001-08:00

According to the family history I have accessed through FamilySearch.org, my maternal DNA should trace back to Reihen, Baden, Germany around 1620. Would be interesting to have my DNA tested to see where it traces to scientifically.

----
Some family history from his sister's life history:
Sarah Clark was born at Clinton, Ohio the 27th of January, 1831, the daughter of Samuel Clark Sr. and Rebecca Garner Clark. Samuel Clark Sr. was born at Egg Harbor, New Jersey the 18th of December, 1798 the son of Joseph Clark and Elizabeth Sooy. Rebecca Garner was the daughter of James Garner and Mary Moon and was married to Samuel Clark on the 18th of July 1827 at Clark, Clinton County, Ohio. To this union 13 children were born, namely:
Joseph, Riley Garner, Sally or Sarah, John, Mary Elizabeth (who died in infancy), Jane, Emma (who died in infancy), Ann, Rebecca (who died in infancy), Samuel, Ellen and James.

This family joined the LDS [Mormon] gospel in Ohio, Samuel joining eleven years earlier than did his wife Rebecca. She belonged to the Quaker religion and was satisfied in her belief until she had a dream one night. She dreamed that they attended an apple peeling bee (as neighbors would get together and peel apples and then dry them as canning had not been heard of), and in the dream she thought that no one could peel the apples in the right way except Samuel. She took this to mean that his religion was the only right one, and she
joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints immediately. They had a happy home and Sarah together with her brothers and sisters had many good times, as they were a very devoted family. They would go into the woods in the autumn of the year and gather walnuts, hickory nuts, hazel nuts and Paw Paws. They would get sap from the maple trees and make maple syrup and maple sugar. Sarah would go with her father to the town of Cincinnati to shop, but the way of travel was very slow, as they drove either horses or oxen.
Sarah had a very dear friend by the name of Libby Meek, whom she loved very dearly. Now it was a very sad day when the family sold their home and most of their belongings and went with the Saints to Far West; thence to Nauvoo, where they were living at the time that the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., and Patriarch Hyrum Smith were assassinated. They were living there when the Saints were driven out of the city in February 1846, and they were numbered among them. Samuel had previously prepared for the trip west and had wagons and provisions and was quite wellequipped as he was a good manager. They had buried three daughters, Elizabeth and Emma in Ohio, and Rebecca was buried in Nauvoo. They crossed the river [Mississippi] on the ice and suffered the hardships with the rest of the Saints. A son, Samuel, Jr., was born to them October 1st 1846 at Buchanan, Missouri and in February 1846 they had to leave and go into an
unknown wilderness. They traveled nine miles and camped at Sugar Creek the first night. Many came with only a few provisions and those who had plenty had to share with the needy.
They stayed in this camp until March 1st 1846. From there they traveled on 65 miles and made another camp and called it Garden Grove. Some of the Saints pushed on 27 miles farther and called this camp Mt. Pisgah. June 14th they arrived at Council Bluffs on the banks of the Missouri River. While here a call
came to President Brigham Young to furnish 500 men to [join the United States Army] in the fight with Mexico. They called this the Mormon Battalion and Sarah’s brothers Joseph Clark and Riley Garner Clark as well as her lover, Miles Weaver and his brother Franklin all enlisted.1 Now our dear and beautiful Sarah was very sad when she saw her loved one march away to the tune of “The Girl I Left Behind Me.” Her beautiful grey eyes would always grow misty when she rehearsed the story.

Now with the two older boys away part of the responsibility fell on Sarah, 17, and John, 16, as their mother,
Rebecca, had a small child in arms. The family decided to stay over at Winter Quarters the winter of 1847 and 1848, and in June 1848 they commenced their journey to Utah in a company of [622 individuals] … with their accompanying goods and chattels2. Sarah drove a yoke of oxen all the way across the plains and her mother Rebecca rode with her. As they traveled along they would milk their cows and carry the milk in a stone jar and at night there was a lump of butter in the jar, as the roads were rough and the motion of the wagon churned the butter. John drove another wagon and Mary, 14, drove the loose stock. While traveling on the way they encountered a herd of buffalo which stampeded their oxen which ran and ran and finally stopped on the brink of a deep ravine. Sarah was always excited whenever she rehearsed the episode.3

Grandfather Samuel walked alongside the oxen with gun in hand so as to be ready for an attack from Indians, should they decided to do just that. When they came to the Platt River they caulked their wagon boxes and floated them across. Some of the oxen and horses swam, but the people and their belongings were ferried across on a ferry boat. This family escaped a lot of the hardships that so many of the Saints endured, as they had adequate supplies and were wellequipped with food and clothing.4 Samuel was a good manager and provider. They traveled in the Heber C. Kimball Company.5 Now the boys had returned to Salt Lake City from the Mormon Battalion and Miles and Franklin Weaver immediately set out to meet this company of
Saints on the last part of their journey.6 These Saints arrived in Salt Lake Valley in September 1848. Sarah Clark and Miles Weaver were married the 24th of December 1848. They lived in the old fort for a few months. They always lived in fear of the Indians, as they were on the warpath much of the time. Miles Weaver was called as an interpreter to the Indians in war and also in missionary undertakings, as he had mastered the language real well and also was a great friend to all of them. They spent a fairly peaceful winter in the old fort, but Grandmother Sarah had the shock of her life when two young men came galloping their horses into the fort and gave the Indian war whoop, firing their six-shooters. Most of the men folks were away at the time trying to get back some of the cattle that the Indians had driven away. Grandmother, thinking them to be Indians, collapsed and fell to the floor. These boys were none other than Brigham Young Jr., and John Taylor. They were very much chagrined when they saw the effects of their practical joke.

In March 1849 President Brigham Young called a number of the Saints to go colonize south from Salt Lake City, which they named Provo. Among these Saints were 15 Clarks and Weavers. It was very hard going in this desolate country, with so little to do, with nothing to buy. They helped each other to build and bartered with each other. Sarah’s first child, Miles Joseph Weaver, was born in Provo on November 7th 1849. I have heard Grandmother say that there was for three months no bread nor flour—just scant rations of cornmeal. They would use the bulb of the Sego Lily in various ways as food. Thus the Sego Lily became an emblem of the Pioneers and also the state flower of Utah. Sarah and Miles Weaver became the parents of four children, namely: Miles Joseph, Zelnora, Sarah Jane and Rebecca. Sarah Jane died from croup when five years of age. Miles and Sarah later lived on Church Island in the Great Salt Lake and milked some of the church cows, as Miles was working for Brigham Young and caring for the church cattle. [In January 1955] Miles married the beautiful Sarah Elizabeth Holmes [as 2nd wife in a polygamous relationship]. But the happiness of this very happy family was not for a long duration, as Miles passed away on the 7th of December 1854, at age 29. His widows were heartbroken and almost destitute. It was very hard going now with a family of six and no breadwinner or provider. Grandmother has rehearsed the following to me many times: as she was
lying on her bed one evening she was so very depressed that she wished she could wake up in Heaven. While she wished these things, there entered into her room four personages. They came to her bedside. She recognized her husband and he turned to the other three and said, “Peter, James and John” then said to one of them, “Will you be mouth?” They placed their hands on her head and administered to her. She wanted very much to remember the things they spoke but it was in an unknown language and she could not understand. But this left a comforting spirit, and never again was she as depressed as before. This spirit
continued with her throughout her life and she never spoke ill of a single person. Now, as circumstances were hard for the widows, it being the last wish of Miles on his deathbed that his brother Franklin marry and support his two wives. With the advice of Pres. Brigham Young, Franklin married Sarah Elizabeth Holmes Weaver on the 3rd of May 1856 and Sarah Clark Weaver just two days later on the 8th of May 1856. His first wife was Rachel Reed [whom he had married in California in 1848, she having arrived in San Francisco with a group of Saints aboard the ship Brooklyn in 1846]. Franklin now had a large family to support, for a young man, and everyone in poor circumstances. [In 1856 Franklin was 28 years old, Rachel was 26, Sarah Clark was 25 and Sarah Holmes was 18.] But there was harmony in their homes as everyone loved each her and respected everyone else. In all the twenty years my grandmother Sarah lived in my mother’s home, I have never heard her say an unkind word about any of the family, nor about anyone else. She was a perfect lady in every respect.

Some information from Riley's sister Anna Clark Hale that tells more about the family:

Memoirs of Anna Clark Hale

Hale, Anna Clark, [Autobiography], Memoirs of Anna Clark Hale, in Heber Q.Hale, ed., [1965], 16-18. [Sister of Sarah Clark Weaver] Trail excerpts: ttp://www.lds.org/churchhistory/library/source/0,18016,4976-5501,00.html

Come spring of '48, things were a buzzing in Winter Quarters. Everybody busy with their own affairs, getting ready for the long, hard, journey to the Rocky Mountains. We were among the earliest to leave. We were assigned to the Heber C. Kimball Company. Oh, how we did miss the stout help of our two oldest boys, who had enlisted with the Mormon Battalion in '46. We had three wagons, five yoke of oxen, two cows
and two horses. Father drove the lead wagon with two span of oxen, John (then 16) followed with the second wagon and two span of oxen, and Mother followed in a lighter wagon with one yoke of oxen—Sarah (17) and Mary (14½) relieved Mother a lot in driving and in caring for baby (8 months old Sammy), Jane (10½) and I (7)—sometimes on horse back, sometimes on foot, followed behind, driving the cows. [Anna would have been age 7.] Our first real trouble across the plains came at Poison Springs, where we lost two of our best oxen—old Buck and old Brandy. Then, we had to work our cows. Father took them on his wagon. It was hard to get them used to the yokes, so they would help pull the load. However, father had given them a little training before we left—just in case. We encountered many herds of buffalo on the way, and they would sometimes stampede the small herd of cattle which was being driven along with our large
company. I would be assigned every time we camped across the prairies, to go and gather 'buffalo chips' in my apron for our camp fire on cold nights and for cooking our meals. Before we came to this, I asked my Mother: "Why do we have to use these chips—where did all the wood go?" She replied: "You'll find out soon enough, daughter"—and I surely did. Here is an incident I shall never forget: I remember Mother had to do some sewing on our clothing, but couldn't do so because she had lost her needle. The next day I showed up with a needle and told Mother I had found it. She said it wasn't hers and asked me where I got it. My answers did not satisfy—and she demanded the truth. I finally confessed that in visiting another camp, I saw a lady sewing on a button and beside her was a little cushion with a lot of pins and needles in it—and I thought she could spare one needle for my poor Mother, who had lost hers. Well, Mother made me take the needle back and apologize to the lady. I can say right here that it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do;
but it taught me a lesson that I never forgot. Later, the kind lady came over to see Mother and gave her one of her needles. Incidentally, Mother did have some more needles packed in a trunk down in one of the wagons. We would camp on Saturdays at some 'watering place', where we could wash our clothes, take our baths, and give our oxen a chance to rest and feed up a little. On Sundays, they would hold services for the entire company, presided over by 10 President Heber C. Kimball. I was always happy to take my bath and wash my dirty feet and put on some clean clothes and go to meeting. I had to go barefooted most of the time.
One Sunday morning when we got up, we were told that the company horses had been driven away in the night by some Indians, who outsmarted the night herder. President Kimball went ahead with the morning service as usual. Shortly, an old Indian Chief and two of his braves came walking into the meeting and stood at the rear. Right then, one of our Brethren got up and commenced talking in 'tongues'. The Indian Chief understood everything the speaker (Brother Draper) had said. The Chief immediately turned to the Indians who had accompanied him and went through the same motions Brother Draper had used, together with
some excited talk of his own—then they hurried out, jumped onto their horses and sped away. In about two hours, they came back with all the stolen horses— not one missing. You see how the Lord can help His children? We never did learn what Brother Draper had said. Maybe he didn't know, himself. Anyway, we all
got our horses back, and that was enough for us. As we were camped one Saturday, some of the children were being baptized by the Brethren—and I cried because my Mother would not let me be baptized too.
She said I was not old enough—I would have to wait another year. But I'll say here that when another year rolled around, I was baptized on my 8th birthday (1849), by Miles Weaver, in the Provo River. I don't remember who confirmed me. Oh, fiddlesticks, here I am in Provo, before we get across the plains. That's
the way my mind runs—pretty fast, isn't it? Now, what else worth mentioning do I remember of our long, tiresome trip across the plains and over the mountains? Oh, yes, I recall seeing that huge mountainous 'Independence Rock', and 'Devil's Gate' with the stream of water running through it. And we stopped quite a while at Fort Bridger, where some of the men had to make repairs on their wagons—and my father had to do some fixin' too. And, oh, what a sight to behold, when those sky-high Rocky Moutains came into view. I wondered, as a child, how in the world will we ever be able to get over them. Anyway, our worries about Echo Canyon did not amount to much—we got down through it safely; but when we got to what was called 'Big Mountain' and "Little Mountain', they lived up to their names alright—and more, too. Father and John
finally made it with their double yokes of oxen on their wagons; but poor Mother with just one yoke couldn't make it. So, Father sent Mary to help John watch the two lead wagons and oxen, while he took one yoke of his oxen and a long chain back and hitched on in head of Mother's team and helped her over. Oh, My! I
never imagined that such big mountains existed in the world. ENTRANCE INTO GREAT SALT LAKE VALLEY As we came down through and out of Emigration Canyon, the beautiful valley of the Great Salt Lake stretched out before us. We all stopped our wagons and came together to look and wonder and thrill at what our eyes beheld. At last, we could see our journey's end. We drove on down into the city—a little over a year old— dotted with log and adobe cabins and tents. This was Sunday September 24, 1848

Though the greatgrandson of William John Galloway/John William Galloway was in the state of IL...Coles Co...it is believed J.W. died in IN around 1820 or he may never have left KY. His son David Green born Greensburg Green Co KY was married OH Co KY in 1809. John William/William John definitely is elusive, but I do not think he is from John Charles. Thank you for trying to help me make a connection.

They had three children, Josiah Faylor, Lydia Faylor and Columbus Faylor, Josiah Faylor was my great grandfather. I am sure there must be a connection...perhaps your John W. Galloway is the nephew of Samuel Galloway and Eleanor Reeder. I am not sure...does the W. stand for Wesley because this name was used after in the Galloway family. Also, it could be that he might after all be a son of John Charles Galloway, because it seems that 26 was a little late to have a first child in those days....perhaps John Charles had already buried one wife before he married Mary Polly Meacham. Also, the Faylors and the Galloways after that and perhaps during the 1830's were Mormans. Mary Polly Meacham Galloway Faylor, with many of her Galloway children and her Faylor children lived in Navuoo...the original Mormon settlement in Illinois. I have seen the census notes. Let me know if any of this helps.

Lynus E. Bemus & Martha Amelia Juell (Jewell) (4G Grandparents)

2011-11-13T11:00:00.000-08:00

Found this on the Nixon Family Website:

Martha Amelia Jewell (Juell) was born 23 January 1808 in Rome, Kennebec Co., Maine, to Rev. Levi Jewell and Judith Tewksbury (Tuxbury). We believe she was the eleventh child in this family. Rev. Jewell apparently traveled from one assignment to another in his church work and we find record of brothers and sisters of Martha Amelia being born in Hew Hampshire as well as in Maine. Next, we find the family in Illinois. Whether they joined the L.D.S. Church in some other area and then moved to Illinois or joined after arriving, we do not know. One record indicates that Martha Amelia Jewell may have been baptized before the Church was organized on April 6, 1830. If this is correct, she would have been one of the few, and would have had to be rebaptized. Records show that she was rebaptized in June 1833.

Lynus (Linas) Bemus was born 13 Feb 1805 is Ashtabula, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. He was the son of Samuel Bemus and Sarah. We have very little information about this family but we do know that Lynas moved to Lewiston, Fulton Co,. Illinois about or before 1827. We find that 25 Feb 1827, he married Martha Amelia Jewell, as recorded in Early Marriages of Fulton County, Illinois.

This union was blessed with the following ten children. They were Ira, Mary Judith Elizabeth, William Myron, George McNeil, Harvey Franklin, Francis Marion, Harriet Amelia, Emily Matilda and the twins Norman and Norris.

Lynas was a farmer by trade, but hearing of the Gold in California, he wanted to try his luck and, taking his family, he started west to seek his fortune. (The date of journey and arrival in Utah is not known and is another item for research.)

After arriving is Utah, Martha Amelia, was faithful member of the L.D.S. Church and she wanted to stay with the Saints rather than to seek the gold so many were after at that time, and rather than see her hurt, they stayed in Utah, settleing in Manti, Sanpete Co., Utah.

Lynus was an honorable man. It has been said of him that he was happy that he had listened to his wife and stayed in Utah with the Saints. Due to ill health, his life was not long and records indicate that he died 9 April 1858. Shortly before that, however, records indicate that he was baptized into the L.D.S. Church on 17 March 1858.

After the death of her husband, Lynus, Martha Amelia married again on 31 Dec 1859 to Isaac Huff Losee and was sealed to him the same day in the Endowment House. After a long and faithful life of service to her family and Church, Martha Amelia Jewell Bemus Losee died in Manti, Sanpete Co., Utah 12 Sept 1892 at the age of 84.

Linus Bemus was born 13 Feb 1805 in Conneaut, Ashtabula, Oh. He died 9 Apr 1858 in Manti, Sanpete, Ut from Consumption and was buried Apr 1858 in Manti, Sanpete, Ut. Lynes married Martha Amelia JUELL on 25 Feb 1827 in , Fulton, Il.

or Linas, or Beemus or Beamus

Rebaptized 24 Oct 1875

Martha was a convert to the Mormon Church but her husband never did join. Shortly before his death, he expressed a desire to be baptized but died before it could be done. When they came west, Lyness wanted to continue on to the gold fields but his wife wanted to stay in Manti , and he was never sorry that he stayed. Martha remained an active member of the church and Lyness got along well with everyone. They built a good home and had the love and respect of their children and everyone in the community.

Lynus/Linus was a farmer by trade, but hearing of the gold in California he wanted to try his luck. They came across the plains with a company bound for the gold fields in the early 1850s. Martha, being the only member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the family, persuaded him to stay in Utah.

They settled in Manti, Ut in 1854, Records show that he was baptized in March 1858, & died 3 weeks later. Martha continued to live in Manti for another 34 yrs & died there at the age of 85.

Cool information on them from this link:
http://www.angelfire.com/ne/hoopesgenealogy/idahoroots.htm

Grandfather Jonathan Hoopes was born in 1788 in Pennsylvania of Quaker parents. He married Rebecca Watts and they were the parents of 12 children. Although his family was prominent (his grandfather and father were in the state legislature and his family owned a considerable amount of land, having been in Pennsylvania since 1683), when Jonathan was 56, he moved his family to the Ohio frontier. There he heard the Restored Gospel and was baptized on January 16, 1834. Jonathan then migrated with the Saints in their various moves and responded to the Prophet Joseph's request (actually a commandment from the Lord) to write his Redress Petition. He owned property in Nauvoo and then crossed the plains to Utah. Jonathan was then called to settle Idaho, where he died at the age of 89 at Weston, Oneida County in 1868.

Grandfather Jonathan Hoopes, Jr. was born in 1935 in Cleveland, Ohio a year after his parents joined the LDS Church. After crossing the plains with his parents' family, Jonathan, at the age of 21, married Mary Ann Baldwin in Provo, Utah in 1856. Mary Ann's grandfather, Caleb Baldwin, was imprisoned with the Prophet Joseph in Liberty Jail and was with him in this prison-temple when he received the revelations now found in D & C Sections 121-123.

Our direct ancestors and their extended families were early Mormon pioneer settlers in Southeastern Idaho, helping to found several colonies there. They endured many hardships and privations, but this served to strengthen them. Many of their progeny still reside in Idaho and have remained true to the faith their fathers have cherished.

More information on the Hoopes family from the same website:
Our Hoopes ancestors came from England. The earliest written record, from about 1375, which exists with anything near our Hoopes surname, is for the name Hooper, which was a Norman-French name for a cloth merchant. At this time nearly all the people living in France and England were Roman Catholic, so we can presume that our ancestors were Catholic, whatever their surname.

In 1533, King Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife, which was forbidden by the Roman Catholic Pope, so Henry claimed authority for himself and a Protestant Church, the Church of England was born. Henry's son, Edward VI became the next king in and passed many laws which strengthened the Church of England. However, Edward's half-sister, Mary, followed him as queen and she tried to restore England to the Catholic Church. So severe were her laws against heresy or disbelief in Catholic doctrine that she became known as "Bloody Mary." She put to death more than 300 persons, among them Bishop John Hooper. While the similarity of the surnames between the martyr John Hooper may be only coincidental, the widespread religious persecution and upheavel of the time was something that could not be ignored.

When we trace our direct ancestry back as far as we can, we find the surname Howpe for an ancestor who died in 1570. During his lifetime "Bloody Mary" was on the throne and perhaps he changed the spelling of his surname from Hooper or Hoopes to avoid religious persecution. His son's surname was spelled Hoope, but his grandson, our direct grandfather, spelled his name Hoopes. This was Robert Hoopes. Our earliest ancestors, without doubt, faced religious persecution living in these times in England.

Robert Hoopes was christened in the parish church at Skelton-in-Cleveland, in the county of York, on 8 July 1875. The ordinance was performed by a minister of the Church of England, or the Anglican Church as it is also called.

For several generations our Hoopes ancestors lived in a great stone house, which is still standing, at Great Moorsholm and attended the parish church at Skelton-in-Cleveland, which is also still in existence. (The parish records have been microfilmed and are available at LDS Family History Centers worldwide.)

Robert's great grandson, Joshua Hoopes, was married in the parish church at Skelton, to Ann, our grandmother, but she died after giving birth to his four children-although we don't know the date of her death. Joshua married a second wife, Isabel, in 1679, which was also recorded by the Anglican priest.

However, two years before Joshua's marriage to Isabel, in 1677, there is a record stating that "Tobias Hoope, of Skelton, was fined 20 pounds for suffering a Meeting at his House, and 10 shillings for himself and wife being there...for being in the same Meeting, Joshua Hoope (a mis-spelling of our ancestor's name), for himself and Wife, was fined 10 shillings, but being no Quaker, paid down the Money." This is found in the book, Suffering of the Quakers, by Besse.

Beginning in 1647, an Englishman, George Fox, believed that God speaks to men and women-this woman thing was a novel idea, through the Holy Ghost and they didn't need the authority of the state church, because they knew it didn't have any authority from God. When Fox was taken before a magistrate to be prosecuted for his strange beliefs, he quoted a scripture that says that men will "quake" before God. The magistrate mockingly called him a Quaker, and we still know these modest, God-fearing people by this nick name.

From 1683, King Charles II, reigned in England and those whose form of worship did not conform to the prescribed teachings of the Church of England were harshly persecuted. This was also a very difficult time to live in England.

In spite of religious persecution, shortly after his marriage to Isabel, Joshua and his family joined with the Quakers. They were part of the Rowsby Monthly Meeting of Friends, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, for on the 4th day of the 3rd month (May), 1683, Joshua obtained a certificate of good standing from that body.

(Quakers have meetings on Sunday and during the week in member's homes or in small meeting houses, and then have a Monthly Meeting with larger groups, much like LDS wards come together with the stake. Quakers also believe that March is the first month of the year).

To escape religious persecution in the new world, Joshua, his new wife Isabel, and their three living children, aged, 11, 8 and 5, decided to leave their ancestral home in Yorkshire and sail on the last of William Penn's ships, "The Providence" for America. This would have been scary, as they knew little about America or what lay ahead of them.

Upon reaching America later in 1683 and being settled on land obtained from Penn, Joshua Hoopes deposited his certificate from the English Quaker church with the Middletown Monthly Meeting in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This Meeting recorded their acceptance, which was signed by 31 Friends, both men and women, which included two with Hoops surnames. Joshua later served as an Elder of the Middletown Meeting from 1714 to 1722.

Joshua's son, Daniel, who was eleven when he landed in America, later settled in Chester County, where he built a large stone house, which they named "Brooznoll" (which means breezy knoll, after Daniel's wife, Jane Worrilow's home in England) and were active in their local Quaker Meeting.

It was while living in Brooznoll that they saw General George Washington's Continental Army trudge down the nearby road to Philadelphia, after losing the Battle of Brandywine, which is just a few miles from Brooznoll. As Quakers, they didn't believe in fighting, so they didn't join the Army, but our grandfathers faithfully served in the Pennsylvania legislature, as justices of the peace, and in their Quaker Meetings. They became very prominent in Pennsylvania.

After almost 200 years at Brooznoll, with good farmland and material blessings, Daniel's 3rd great grandson, Jonathan Hoopes, decided to take his wife, Rebecca Watts, and family of 12 children, he was 56 at the time, leave all of this and move out west to Ohio, which was on the frontier of America. They left their comfortable Brooznoll for a log house they had to erect themselves. Jonathan and Rebecca took with them a certificate of good standing from their Quaker Meeting in Pennsylvania, leaving everything else for God only knew what.

But it was out in Ohio, in 1834, that Grandfather Jonathan first heard the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ from Mormon missionaries. He would not have heard it in his Pennsylvania Quaker stronghold-this is what God knew that he didn't. When Jonathan heard the Gospel in its fullness, he knew it was true and joined with those peculiar Mormons.

With his large family, Jonathan moved with the Saints and suffered much persecution in Ohio and Missouri. When asked by the Prophet Joseph, Jonathan wrote his "redress petition," documenting his persecution by the anti-Mormon mobbers. Jonathan and Rebecca eventually owned a fine home in Nauvoo, where he and grandmother were endowed in the Nauvoo Temple on the same day that some Saints were crossing the nearby Mississippi on ice. The Hoopes' also fled Nauvoo and after a few years in Iowa, came to Zion in the Rocky Mountains. Here Brother Brigham called them to settle up north in Cache County, as he called the northern most part the Mormon settlements.

This old former Quaker grandfather, who was a stonemason by trade, died at the age of 79, true to the Restored Faith, at Weston, which is now in Franklin County, Idaho.

Jonathan's son, Jonathan, Jr., settled Bennington, in Bear Lake County, where his son, our great grandfather, George Arthur, was born and raised. George Arthur's mother, Mary Ann Baldwin, was a grand daughter of Caleb Baldwin, a close personal friend of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Jonathan eventually moved his family to Arizona, where he went into old Mexico, serving as a body guard to LDS Apostles, who were looking for a place to escape their religious persecutions.

George Arthur, with a wife and small children at home in Thatcher, Arizona, left to serve a full-time mission to the Midwestern States, as was common at that time.

George Arthur later served as a counselor in the Bishopric in Thatcher for many years and in that capacity baptized eight year old Spencer Woolley (the Woolley's also descended from Daniel Hoopes) Kimball, who later became the Lord's Prophet.

George's oldest son, Grover, married a Lamoreaux girl from Dingle, Nora Estelle, in Bear Lake County, Idaho, a daughter of faithful Mormon pioneers.

Both Grover and Nora served full-time missions. Grover to the Northwestern States during the First World War, and Nora to the Midwestern States. Their eldest son, Grover Lamro, also served a full-time mission, to the Southern States before the Second World War.

When we look at our own pedigree chart, eyeing the generation that lived during the early days of the Restoration of the Gospel, we see that all of our ancestors accepted the Gospel during those trying times. They were all Mormon Pioneers, crossing the plains and settling the West. We owe a great debt of gratitude to our ancestors for the rich heritage they have left us. We can best show our gratitude by remaining faithful to our Mormon religion.

William Allred (Taken from this Website: http://allredfamily.com/wmallredarticle.htm)

(1790 - 1841)

Submitted by: Faun Patterson

Written by: Wallace P. Allred (William, William, Thomas)

Following are excerpts from a history of William Allred (brother of Isaac and James) written by Wallace P. Allred.

William Allred was born 19 Jan 1790, Franklin County, Georgia to William Allred and Elizabeth Thrasher. He married Sarah Warren, 5 March 1813 in Tennessee.

After leaving Bedford County, TN, the three Allred brothers and their families settled on the Salt River in Monroe County, Missouri. They later joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormon Church or LDS Church) and a branch of the Church was organized and called the Salt River Branch.

These families and all other members of the LDS Church were persecuted and driven from place to place because of their beliefs and suffered many hardships.

William was a Captain in the Militia to try and keep peace and order, which made it necessary to be away from home, leaving Sarah to care for the family, the animals and to work in the fields.

On one occasion, trouble was brewing in Diahman and mobs were gathering to attack Mormon settlements in the area. On Sunday, Sept. 9, 1838, Captain William Allred took a company of ten mounted men and went to intercept a team and wagon carrying guns and ammunition sent from Richmond to the mob in Davis County. They took the three men who were in charge and the supplies to Far West where the men were placed in custody.

Captain Allred acted under the Civil Authorities in Caldwell who issued the writ for securing the arms and arresting the carriers.

This was good news to the inhabitants but made William a marked man. In November 1838, the Diahman Saints were expelled from Davis County by General Wilson of the Missouri State Militia. Again they left their homes, their crops and herds to go to Far West, Caldwell County. In this action thirty lost their lives, with about one hundred missing and about sixty taken prisoner and delivered to Richmond Prison. Among those taken prisoners were many Church leaders, William Allred and Martin C. Allred, the son of James Allred.

Sunday, November 11, 1838, the Prophet Joseph Smith wrote: "While in Richmond we were under the charge of Colonel Price of Charlton County, who allowed all manner of abuses to be heaped upon us. During this time my afflictions were great and our situation was truly painful."

It was winter and the Saints had agreed to leave Far West and Diahman areas and try to recoup in Quincy, Illinois. The exodus began Feb 6th with William and his family a part of this with virtually all they possessed - to being again.

From Quincy they went to Nauvoo where, for their protection, William was given a new field of labor in Pike County, Illinois. He was ordained a Bishop by Hyrum Smith to preside over the Saints in Pleasant Vale, a small community west of Pittsfield, Pike County, Ill.

William was returning to his field of labor, after attending conferences in Nauvoo, when he was met by a mob and badly beaten. It is recorded that he died July 1841 in Quincy from injuries he suffered in that beating.

He left eleven children ranging in age from twenty-six to one year and a wife expecting a child who died at birth in 1842.

With the help of his brother, James, the family stayed together after the Nauvoo expulsion and most journeyed by wagon or cart to the Salt Lake Valley.

He was a loving husband and father, a hard worker and a brave and noble man.

My great grandfather was John Jones Allred, the second son of William. John Came west with David H. Cannon Company in 1861 and settled in Springdale, Washington County area. In 1868 his wife, Mary Bridgman, gave birth to my grandfather, Edward Warren Allred.

Isaac Newton ALLRED (01020608)

Born: 03/25/1830 Bedford Co., TN
Died: 11/01/1917 Clyde, ID

THE HISTORY AND MYSTERY OF ISAAC NEWTON ALLRED
Compiled by Tessie J. Pyper

(For thirty years, I have searched for information on this great, great, grandfather of mine. Many questions still remain unanswered. The following is what I have been able to find.)

ISAAC NEWTON ALLRED, son of William Allred and Sarah Ann Warren, was born Mar. 25, 1830, Bedford Co., Tenn. His family were old Southerners and wealthy planters. It has been said that Isaac N. was literally a “slave driver” on his father’s plantation. His family joined the Mormon Church in the early days, and went through the persecutions in Missouri and Illinois. His father and mother died and in 1861, the family came to Utah in Capt. David Cannon’s company of 64 wagons.

In 1849, Isaac N. married Julia Ann Brown, who was born in Pike Co., Ill. Nov. 26, 1833, daughter of Cornelius Brown and Mary Ann Cox. They lived in Illinois for about three years, then moved to Missouri. In 1858, they were back in Illinois, where their fifth child was born. After their sixth child was born in 1860, they removed to Iowa, intending to join the Saints in Salt Lake City. They stayed at Florence two weeks, waiting for the wagon train to leave. His daughter, Serilda Jane, says that she was just nine years old at the time and was ill all the way to Utah. She said that once the Indians stampeded the train and an old man was thrown from his wagon and killed.

Upon arriving in Utah, Isaac N. located with his family at Spring City where he bought a small tract of land, located at Third North and First East, and engaged in farming. He served as a city alderman of Spring City for three terms. He took part in the Black Hawk Indian War, serving as adjutant, and was in several skirmishes with the Indians. He made a trip to Green River while on active duty.

Soon after 1875, Isaac N. and his brother James Anderson Allred, among others, moved to Chester, Utah. The Indian troubles had not ceased when these pioneers first came there, and they never knew when their lives or property was safe from the Indians bullets and arrows. On July sixth and seventh, 1877, a co-op store was started in Chester, with Redick Newton Allred as president, and Isaac N. as superintendent. Two of his children were born in Chester in 1875 and 1876. His last child was born somewhere “in Sanpete Co.” He and his wife had a total of 14 children. His daughter, Serilda Jane, said that, “in 1873, the Spotted Fever broke out, taking five children in five months.” I have been able to find only one of these children’s graves. Where are the other buried? Where in Sanpete County were they living from 1867 to 1875? They had three children born during those years, and the records just say “in Sanpete County.” The one grave is located in the old Pioneer Cemetery in Spring City.

Isaac N. played the fiddle and entertained at dances and other social affairs. His fiddle is now on display at the Fairview, Utah Museum, donated by a grandson.

About 1880, Isaac and his family moved back to Spring City, for he was elected Justice of the Peace for the 1882-83 term, and elected again 1884-85. His wife, Julia Ann, died Nov. 20, 1898 in Spring City and is buried in the City Cemetery west of the City. There is room for her other children to have been buried there also, but the only marker is for her.

In this same year, he began buying and shipping produce and moved to Gunnison, Utah, where he owned a confectionary business. According to family legend, he once owned and operated a saloon in Christianburg, Utah, located just east of Gunnison, but no one from that area has ever heard of him being there, nor have they heard of his saloon. However, I have a set of stemmed bar glasses that were handed down to me with the admonition, “Remember, Tessie, these were used in your great, great, grandfather Isaac Newton Allred’s saloon in Christianburg.” This now forgotten part of his past seems lost to me. Did he live in Gunnison or did he once have a home in Christianburg where his saloon was located? How long did he operate this business?

Christianburg was first settled in 1873 by three Christensen brothers and descendants of these men still live there. In the 1880's it was known for the fruit produced there but this enterprise soon declined. The remains of an old chalk mine and roller mill, (which burned in 1920) are still visible. If there ever was a center to this town, it was divided by the new route of Highway 89. At one time, the settlers endeavored to build a large canal from Nine Mile Reservoir, through Christianburg on the north end and into Gunnison. They got as far as Christianburg, but it proved to be too large an undertaking, so the project was abandoned. The remnants of the canal can still be seen. Thirty-five thousand sheep once passed through the “Shearing Corral”, located on the old Vorhee’s homestead, on an entrance to Antelope Valley. This was “sheep country” and each year, sheep were brought from the West Desert, after wintering there, to be sheared.

Large and small herds were brought through Gunnison Valley to the southwest, around Chalk Hill, and up through Antelope Valley from the northwest, to the Shearing Corral. The area was also known for a popular Cotsword Merino breed of sheep. Some sheep are still kept on the Vorhee’s Ranch and other ranches in the area, but the main crops are alfalfa and grain. The Broken Arrow Ranch raises horses and cattle.

Whatever happened to this once-thriving small community, where the railroad had a spur to pick up the many large wool sacks; where there was once a schoolhouse, (now torn down), and where a chalk mine and roller mill once flourished? Some deserted old homes could tell us stories. Where did the people re-locate? Perhaps, to Manti or Gunnison or other communities where their future was more assured? I believe my ancestor Isaac Newton Allred was part of the history of Christianburg, but perhaps, I will never prove it.

The children of Isaac Newton Allred and wife, Julia Ann Brown were: a daughter who was born and died as an infant, Serilda Jane, John Warren, Mary Ann, Martha Louisa, Lucy Ellen, Julia Ette, Sarah Sephronia, Isaac N. Jr., Hannah Rosetta, Francis Violet, Elzina, Albert Marion and William Walter. We only have a record of six children surviving childhood, marrying, and having children of their own. They were: Serilda Jane who married John Blain Jr., John Warren who married Sina Margaret Jensen, Mary Ann who married Walter Barney, Sarah Sephronia, who married Louis Alex Justesen, Elzina who married James Solomon Covert, and Albert Marion who married Martha Marana Black first, and married second, Margaret Jane Fullmer.

Isaac N. died Nov. 1917, Clyde, Idaho and is buried there in a small “boothill cemetery”. Clyde, Idaho is no longer on the map. Many years ago I sent to Idaho for his death record, but they could find no record of death or burial. I know great grandmother Serilda Jane went to Idaho to attend his funeral. She brought my father back a small China dog. My father, Jesse Odell Blain, told me that Isaac N. was living with his daughter Mary Ann Barney, when he died, and thought he was buried at Mackie or Blackfoot, Idaho. Dad says he may have died there, too.

This is another son of William and Sarah Ann Warren (not my direct ancestor who was John Jones Allred, but his brother).

JAMES ANDERSON ALLRED

Submitted By: Kathleen Pace Boyd (more stories by this author)
NOTE: THIS STORY WAS COPIED FROM FILES IN THE SUP LIBRARY.
Upon the death of James' father, William Allred, James assumed the responsibility of supporting his mother and brothers and sisters. On January 30, 1844 James married Elizabeth Parkis. Their first son Stephen Henry Allred was born January 17, 1846, in Pike Co., Iii. (Stephen is my great-grandfather and his daughter Hettie Florence Allred Pace is my grandmother ). James and Elizabeth also had a second son William who died at birth.

Early in the marriage of James and his wife they operated a stage coach inn, which was very successful and was located in Pike County, Ill,

After selling the business they invested their money into farm land, which value increased and became very profitable for them.

In 1853 the family moved to Fremont County, Iowa and obtained more valued farm land and eventually owned farms in several states and became financially independent.

James. finally made the decision to join the rest of his Latter-day-Saint family members in Utah. His wife and friends objected with his plan to leave Iowa but his wife finally agreed to accompany him to Salt Lake City, Utah, where she then joined the church.

James and his family arrived in Salt Lake City June 2, 1861 where he was ordained an Elder and was called by the church leaders to go to Sanpete County in May, 1865 to help develop that territory. Through the influerce of his Allred relations and Apostle Orson Hyde he settled in what is now Spring City, Utah.

James engaged in farming and stock raising and during the Black Hawk Indian War lost a great deal of stock.

He became First Counselor to Bishop Frederick Olsen. (He was ordained a High Priest by his uncle James Allred, who was the Patriarch).

On Sept. 3, 1882 James was ordained a Bishop to preside over the

James was quite active in community affairs was the first Mayor of Spring City after its incorporation in 1870. On Nov. 5, 1878 he resigned to accept the position of Probate Judge. He also served on the board of County Commissioner. James helped organize the Spring City Co-op store and was manager for 29 years. He also served a mission for the LDS church.

Like others of the time he believed in and practiced plural marriage?. having three wives.

In 1874 he built one of the finest houses in Spring City, the house was two storms, the building materials had to be freighted in from Nephi, it is still standing today and is most attractive.

A physical description of James would be that he was approximately 6, tall, around 160 lbs, stood erect, had brown, hair, a beard, quite ambitious, was fairly we1thy for the time.
James passed away at the age of 84 in Spring City, Utah.

LDS FamilySearch states that John Jones was born in Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales in 1774. He was christened on 10 September 1780 in Baglan, Glamorgan, Wales.

Anne David was born about 1776. She was christened on 5 February 1792. She was buried on 17 December 1847 at Llwydcoed, Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales.

Does anyone have access to the 1841 Census? If you do, could you please look for a George and Catherine Reese (Catherine was Catherine Betsy Richards prior to marrying George). They had a child, Thomas, in 1811, or so. Any information about either of these two, or just as importantly, either of their parents or any of their children is greatly appreciated.
I know George was born in 1795 in Aberdare; Catherine Betsy Richards was born in 1795 in Neath, Elam; they were married in either 1809 or 1819, and probably lived in Aberdare in 1841.

Some information on their children:
Hi Linda,

Saw your Query and thought I would give you some more information on David King Bunce, he is the brother of my direct line descendent Lewis Demott Bunce. They are the sons of James Avery Ludlow Bunce and Esther Lewis. I have been researching this line for some time and have now found that Esther Lewis is the daughter of Comfort Lewis and Abigail Bragg. She was born either in Wolcott,Wayne,New York or Butternuts,Otsego,New York. I found deeds for Comfort Lewis in both of those areas. James A.L. Bunce moved to Wolcott,Wayne,New York from Pompey,Onondaga,New York. He purchased the property next to Esther's family.I found a history in Salt Lake City, at the Joseph Smith Building, on David King Bunce. It is found in Book Area 929.273 B881r written by Janet Lloy Marsden Rogers, and is a wonderful history and well documented. Would love to correspond with you, maybe we can work together in researching further.

James A.L. Bunce

James A.L. Bunce was born in Rensselaer County, New York, and married Hester Lewis. They had 11 children. All their names start with the letter D: Delos, Delaney, Deborah, Demitt, Delia Ann, Darwin, Dunmore, Danforth, Delight, David, and Dewitt. Many of them are buried at Hazel Green Cemetery.

Im looking for the gravesite of my GG Grandfather Daniel Bunce. He was the first son of James A. L. Bunce from New York. Daniel’s profession is listed as "carpenter" in the 1860 U. S. Census of Fillmore, Minnesota. In the 1880 census he and his family show up in Grundy Co., Missouri and he is listed as a Physician. In the 1900 census of Grundy County, Missouri, his wife Sarah is listed as living with her son Samuel. Daniel is not listed.

The 1890 U. S. Census was almost totally destroyed by a fire so there is no record showing if Daniel was still alive by then, but unless they moved between 1880 and 1900, he should be buried some where around Grundy County, Missouri. If he was a Physician as stated in 1880, one would think a person that important to the community would leave more of a trail. If he did, I can't find his date or place of death. If anyone has information on Daniel or his wife Sarah's final resting place please contact me. I have what I think is a fair ammount of information on James A. L.'s descendants to share. THX

Hi Chris,

Got your E-mail and I again sent you some information I have on this family, but it was returned.

So I will try again. I have only been researching this family for a few months. Esther the daughter of Comfort and Abigail, was married to James Avery Ludlow Bunce. They are my direct line. I was trying to find the parentage of James Bunce, I sent a quety through Seneca County also asking for information on the Lewis line. Dolores from California answered. We have been corresponding for the past few months. She sent me Film and deed numbers for Comfort, I found the deed from the heirs of Comfort Lewis, deceased, recorded in Book P, page 286, Seneca County, New York. That deed gave me the children of Comfort and Abigail and included all their spouses.
On the 1800 census for Otsego County, New York it lists Comfort Lewis. So I found deeds from that county and found that Comfort and Abigail deeded away their property there about 1815, they then moved to Wolcott, Seneca, New York, please note that county had a boundary change in 1823 and it then became
Wayne County.
Comfort purchased his property in Wolcott, Wayne, New York from Elizabeth Hamilton, a widow on 1 Oct 1816, I have a copy of that deed. It contained 150 acres, he deeded away 50 acres of that land to Wilm Davis of Wolcott, on the 4 Jun 1817. And the heirs of Comfort, deeded the other 100 acres away in
1822.
Abigail, his widow by that time had remarried, Jonatha Runyon, the deed was signed by Charles and Lucy Lewis, Benjamin and Lucinda Lewis, Zion and Abigail Potter, George and Sally Hallet, Esther and James A.L. Bunce and Abial Lewis. They at that time were all listed as over 21 years old, and it also named Comfort and Levi as infants under 21 years old.
I have information on all of Esther's children and none on any of the other siblings. I have been searching everything I can find to find their names.
I also have copies of deeds for Charles Lewis of Butler both as Grantee and Grantor. Abial Lewis of Butler as both Grantee and Grantor.
I would like to know what information you have that Comfort was of Marlboro, Ulster, New York, maybe that is where we will find his parents and siblings.
You stated that Charles and Lucy lived in Michigan too, do you have information on their family? Do you have any information on Benjamin and Lucinda? Did they go to Michigan with the rest of the kids. I know that James A.L. and Esther Bunce were there for a while, but they eventually lived and died in Illinois.
I am going to the Salt Lake Library Tuesday of next week to search somemore, maybe I will find something new then. I'm glad I found someone searching this line maybe we can help each other and put all the pieces together.
Thanks for answering my query and I will be glad to correspond with you and help all I can.
Warmly, Sally

DAVID K. BUNCE.

David K. Bunce, now living retired in Gilbert, was formerly closely identified with agricultural interests in western Iowa. Persistent effort and well directed energy, however, brought him increasing success year by year, and at length with a comfortable competence as the reward of his labors he retired and now has leisure for the enjoyment of those things which are of most interest to him.
He is a native son of the neighboring state of Illinois, his birth having occurred in Carroll county, on the 27th of April, 1845. His parents were James A. and Esther (Lewis) Bunce, natives of New York and Michigan,

Perhaps your editor may be pardoned for taking space to recount how he was able recently to identify the picture of a great-great-grandmother. When I was a boy, my paternal grandmother once showed me an old photograph and said: "Russell, I want you to look at a picture of my grandmother." She also told me that this grandmother, her mother's mother, had lived with her parents and that when she took tea to her room in the afternoon, "Grandma Bunce would give me a peppermint candy." Years later, after my grandmother's death in 1939, I tried to remember which among her many unlabeled photographs was the one she had shown me. I thought I knew, but could never be positive. Recently, however, a descendant of a brother of my grandmother found the same picture among his old photographs. Fortunately, he had written "Grandma Bunce" on the back of his copy. Now I know for certain that the picture that belonged to my grandmother is, indeed, that of her grandmother, Esther (Lewis) Bunce, because a great-uncle whom I never knew had the foresight to identify for his descendants the pictures in his album.

Barnhurst Family.
Papers, 1836-1927. 2 folders [Formerly Alphabetical File]
Joseph Barnhurst (1735-1851) and his wife Priscilla Underhill (1750- ) emigrated from England to Dublin, Ireland, and then finally to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The couple had twelve children. William Barnhurst (1819-1850) was the oldest. The eldest daughter Elizabeth Barnhurst married Thomas Tweedale and remained in Philadelphia. Washington Barnhurst (1830-1862) became a Baptist minister. He served as minister of the Third Baptist Church of St. Louis from 1856 to 1860.
The collection consists of Elizabeth Barnhurst’s memory book, two copies of the Elizabeth Barnhurst Tweedale’s will, property abstracts for lots in St. Louis, sketches of the Barnhurst family coat of arms, and biographical sketches of various members of the Flournoy family of Prince Edward County, Virginia.

I'm not working on this line of my family right now, but found something some years ago that might be helpful to you if you don't know about it already. Sorry I don't know who Priscilla's parents are, but this is what I DO know. Joseph Jonah Barnhurst was an iron and brass founder by trade according to a Barnhurst history written by Leathra Laub and Milton Rubincam. There is in the Bishop's transcripts of the parish church of Sheffield, York, England, a marriage listing for JOSHUA Barnhurst and Presilla Undrill "by Banns" on 30 May 1808.(FHL film # 919327) Yes, it gives him another name, but that happens and in view of the fact that Sheffield was a great metalworking center of the time, it makes sense to me that he might have been there learning his trade.I can't think that this would be a different couple. The timing is right. Sheffield is also close to Manchester. The Underhills may have moved there since Priscilla's birth. Manchester, by the way, is nowhere near Warwickshire. Can't imagine where that came from. Anyway, if this is new to you, I hope it helps.

David Penrod
Birth: Jan. 9, 1815 Illinois, USA

Death: Feb. 26, 1872 Provo Utah County Utah, USA (Buried in Provo, Utah, Cemetery)
Son to Lewis and Polly Penrod. David and Temperance had 13 children, 7 boys and 6 girls.

HISTORY OF DAVID PENROD
1815-1872
Written by Mary P. Young

David was born 9 January 1815, in Jonesboro, Union County, Illinois, son of Lewis and Polly Beggs Penrod. He married Temperance Hinkle Keller. She was born in Rowan County, North Carolina, 17 November 1817.
A study of the Federal Census records shows us that David's grandfather, Samuel Penrod Sr., came to Illinois sometime before 1817. The family is not listed in the 1812 Census, so it was between those dates when they came.
David's father, Lewis, was married to Polly Beggs and his mother's name was Polly, but we do not know her maiden name. This Polly was the wife of Samuel Penrod Sr.; there are eight Penrod heads of families listed in the 1818 Census for Union County, Illinois. According to the group sheet we have for Samuel's father, John Penrod Sr., they seem to be brothers of Samuel Penrod Sr. David joined the Mormon Church and was a very intelligent and religious man; he accepted the Gospel in all its fullness, lived it, and taught it to his family.

Birth: Nov. 18, 1817 Rowan County North Carolina, USA
Death: Nov. 15, 1893 Provo Utah County Utah, USA

Temperance Keller

When the saints decided to go west Temperance and David had six children, all born in Union, Illinois. Two more children were born to them in Hancock, Iowa. As mob violence and persecution became greater, their lives were in danger from day to day. They began getting things together to start the long trek to the Promised Land, where there were no mobs or persecution. David was a wagon maker by profession. When they arrived at the Missouri River and many of the saints who had started the journey with ill prepared wagons and outfits, were held up because of broken parts, mostly wheels and ties, he was asked to remain there and repair them so the Saints could continue West. Temperance and David remained here for about a year after which they joined the Orson Hyde Company of 1849 and resumed the journey.

On the way to Utah they buried Soloman by the roadside. They covered him in a grave with rocks and sagebrush so the coyotes and Indians couldn't find it. During the journey Temperance became very ill with Cholera, in fact, she was so very ill they did not expect her to recover, so the wagon train moved on without them, leaving one man and woman to take care of her and the family. Through their great faith and prayers to their Heavenly Father, she was restored to health and was soon able to travel and they were able to catch up with the company. They arrived in Utah with the Company in 1849. They remained in Salt Lake for about a year, and then came with other families to Provo, moving into the Old Fort. While living at the Fort another son was born. They named him David Nephi

Later they moved to their own home, a four roomed adobe house located between 35th and 4th West Streets on Center Street in Provo. In this house it is presumed that the other four children were born.

David was a stock raiser and farmer. He kept sheep and after the shearing was done Temperance would wash the wool and prepare it, then spin it into year to make stockings, shawls, and other things for her family and also very often for needy families. It is said by neighbors and people far and near that Temperance was an Angel of Mercy. She went out in all kinds of weather to help the sick, taking with her food and medicine for the needy. In fact, she was in a way a mid-wife. She was slways generous with others and would willingly share food and clothes with those not so fortunate as she.

During her life she was afflicted with asthma. After the death of her daughter Olive, who was married to George Meldrum, she took their infant daughter and raised her. After the death of her husband, and when the children were all married, it was lonesome for her living so far away from them, so they all piched in a built her a two roomed house on a piece of land between Nephi and Amasa's homes. The boys built the new house for her without her knowing they were building it. When it was completed with paint and everything, they went to her home and said, "wouldn't you like to go for a ride"? Indeed she did, but the ride lasted so long she finally asked if it wasn't time to be getting home. In the meantime the others had moved her belongings to her new house. Imagine her joy and surprise when they took here to her new home.

The home her sons built for her still stands at 12th North between University Avenue and First East. She lived her for the remainder of her days. She is buried in the Provo City Cemetary

Samuel Barnhurst & Ane Marie Jensen 3 G Grandparents

Samuel Barnhurst and Ane Marie Jensen. Samuel Barnhurst is another one of my Great-Great-Great Grandfathers. Shortly before his birth, his family immigrated from England to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where they became established and attained some measure of wealth and prestige. In 1857, Samuel was thirty years old and married with two children. He was enjoying the benefits of his family's status and earning a very good living working in the family business.

Samuel was working on a research paper on religion. He was writing about the changes that happened to long established European churches when they moved to America. Soon after he started his research, he heard about an American church that believed in angels and had a new bible written in gold. He became very interested and discovered more about it. He found it a very practical church, and a very workable religion. He began to talk about this new and interesting church to his associates who kidded and teased him about it. Despite the ribbing, they listened to what he had to say.

His wife and one of his sisters heard about the discussions with his friends and wanted to know what he was learning, asking him to explain it all to them. They told him not to bother with those friends who thought it was funny, but to tell only them about it. They assured him that they would listen any time—and they did. He was delighted to explain this new Gospel to his wife and sister, and even had plans for them all to be baptized soon and join the new church.

One evening he came home a little early and, not wanting to disturb his butler at a busy time, came quietly around to the side door and entered with his key. The door to the music room was ajar and he could hear conversation. He stopped to listen to find out whether he should prepare to be a host to guests and who they might be. What he heard changed his life. Speaking, was his wife, his sister and the minister of the Anglican Church. They were all very concerned about his studies of the American church. The Barnhursts were very concerned about their social position in relation to this new church, its members, its beliefs and the reputation of its founder, Joseph Smith. They could not bear the stigma of it all.

As they discussed their designs to put an end to Samuel's conversion, Samuel listened in. The plan was that when Samuel rang the front door bell that evening, the butler would come to take his coat. Before it could be completely unbuttoned, the butler would jerk the coat down and around him, using the coat to pin his arms to his sides. His wife and sister would rush to each side of him to immobilize his arms and the minister would gag, blindfold and tie him up. They would then carry him out the back door where a carriage was waiting to take him to incarcerate him in an insane asylum. It was much less disgraceful to have a family member known to be insane than known to be a Mormon! Hearing this, he silently went upstairs, kissed his two sleeping children good-bye, then went out to the stable for his horse and left.

He went to join the Saints and arrived at Salt Lake City August 7, 1857. Soon after he arrived in Salt Lake City, Bishop Peterson came to see him. Bishop Peterson, who spoke Danish and English, was the leader of a Danish-speaking congregation. They talked a bit and the bishop said to him, "You are a fine healthy young man. You should marry and raise a family". Samuel told him his story. He said he already had a wife and children in Philadelphia and didn't have the heart to go courting. The bishop told him, "You can take a second wife." The bishop then asked, "If I can find you a good, decent young lady, will you marry her and have a righteous family with her"?

Ane Marie Jensen was born in Denmark in 1833. By the time she was twenty-one years old, she was apprenticed to a fine sewing house in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1854. Ane lived with her parents and their other children, but was engaged to be married. While living and working in Copenhagen, she met the missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who were proselyting in the area. At first, Ane Marie was merely curious as she listened to the missionaries. Then, as she listened more, she began to deeply value the principles she was learning. She started to talk to her fiancé and her family about the things she was learning.

They listened and asked questions, but they were not happy about the idea of leaving their Lutheran church and joining this very strange American church. Her fiancé felt it was a disadvantage for a young couple to saddle themselves with, and even told her that he could not marry her if she joined that church! Her parents said it would shame them and the whole extended family if she joined. Ane made the decision that she would do as her family felt was best and went to the meetings no more. She still worked for the house and made clothes for nobility, but no longer felt the joy she had before.

As the months went on, she began to feel very cold. First her feet wouldn't stay warm, then her fingers never got warm and finally they became so cold she couldn't hold her needle. She took this as a sign to her that God was not pleased with her choice. So she made an arrangement to be baptized on July 20, 1854. Winter was over, bu the ice on the river that runs through Copenhagen was still breaking up and ice floes were floating by on it. Despite the cold, she was going to be baptized. When she went into the water it caught her breath, but said it was no colder than her hands and feet. When she came out of the water, her hands and feet were warm and she used her hands to warm her face. She was not chattering with cold, but felt warm all over. She took this as a sign that not only was God pleased with her choice to be baptized but that it was a sign that she was a part of the true church.

Three years later, Ane Marie had earned enough money to travel to America to join the Latter-day Saints. Once she reached land, she traveled by wagon and then on foot to Salt Lake City. She reached her destination on September 18, 1857.

At Salt Lake City she worshiped with a Danish congregation. Soon after she settled, the bishop, Brother Peterson, called to see her. "You are strong and healthy and young,” he said. “You should be married and raising children," he told her. "I don't have the heart to be courted,” she said and then told him about her broken engagement in Denmark and about a man on the wagon train who wanted her to be his second wife. "Well, in that case", he said, "If I find a fine decent young man for you, will you marry him?" She knew it was her duty and desire to raise up a righteous generation, so, "Yes, I will", she said.

Ane Marie Jensen and Samuel Barnhurst met November 29, 1857 and were married the same day. She knew no English and he had never heard any Danish, but with the help of Bishop Petersen, they would each learn Danish and English.

My ancestry is tied to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When these people crossed paths with the Church, the course of their lives were changed. No longer could they stay in comfortable ignorance of the Gospel truths they heard. They each felt an obligation to make sacrifices for their faith. Were it not for their sacrifices or faith, my history would be very different than what it is.

Clark Allen Huntington

1831-1896 Clark Allen Huntington (also known as C.A. or Al Huntington) was born on December 6, 1831 in Watertown, New York. His parents were Dimick Baker Huntington and Fannie Maria Allen. The following is the conversion story of Clark Allen Huntington’s Grandparents,William Huntington Jr. and Zina Baker Huntington and how the family learned about theChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.“It was a cold night in the latter part of November, and in the home of William Huntington. The family gathered around the big fire place in the spacious kitchen. After the evening meal, when all the evening work was done, it was the habit of this family to get their instruments of music and sit around the blazing logs and play the old fashioned tunes andhymns, also tunes of more cheerful air, although they did not dance. ‘Grandfather Huntington played the bass viol, his daughter Zina the cello, William, the cornet, and Dimick, the drum. There were five sons and two daughters, the oldest daughter, Presenda, being married, lived some distance from them. It was a happy New England family and they lived the clean, pure life of the Puritan stock. After the music ceased, a hush fell on the group and a knock was heard on the door and as it opened a strange old gentleman of medium weight, dressed in old fashioned clothes and carrying a bundle on his arm appeared and stepped into the room and said: “I usually bend my steps to some sequestered vale. May I find lodging here tonight?” With cordial welcome he was invited in and given a place by the fire, in an old easy farm chair, and mother Huntington asked if he would like some supper and modestly he said he would. Then a good New England meal was spread before him, with milk, honey, maple syrup, cold meat, delicious home-made bread and butter. He partook of a light supper while the family spoke in soft tones. It was the custom to read a portion of the scriptures before going to bed. He again joined the circle, and father Huntington began to read from the Holy Bible, a portion of the New Testament, to which they all listened attentively. Grandmother Huntington made some comment on the fact that they would like to hear the Gospel in its fullness as explained and taught by the Saviour. The stranger immediately took up the subject and began explaining the scriptures and quoting the sayings of the Saviour in what seemed to them a new light and greater beauty than they had ever thought of before. They sat in rapt attention listening to every word. Both father and mother Huntington agreed with his explanations while the boys exchanged glances of admiration and the daughter, Zina was spellbound and sat and gazed upon the stranger with admiration and reverence. After one hour spent in conversation upon this sacred subject, father Huntington had prayers, mother Huntington prepared a comfortable resting place for the stranger and he bid them good night, the boys going upstairs, father and mother Huntington to their bedroom which led from the kitchen, and Zina in her little bed heard her parents talking in low tones about the wonderful stranger and discussing the things he said. The stranger had filled them with awe and reverence, such as they had never felt before. In the morning everyone was astir bright and early as is usual on a farm when so much work has to be done, both outside and in. The stranger sat placidly watching the remarkable family with whom he took breakfast. The family invited him to stay but he said he had other places to visit and he left them standing in a group as he closed the door softly. When father Huntington saw the stranger depart, he sent Dimick after him to tell him to come again. He immediately opened the door and they all looked out to see and call the stranger back but he was nowhere to be seen. When looking on the door step where the snow had fallen the night before, no trace of a footstep could be seen and the boys running from all directions said that he had vanished and could not be found. Father Huntington remarked that he was the strangest person that ever was and he could not understand where he went, but he had shown them the Gospel in a new light. Mother Huntington felt that this stranger was some messenger from heaven and all the family were deeply impressed with his wonderful influence and beautiful way of explaining the scriptures. When the Gospel to life and salvation was brought to them by Hyrum Smith and other Elders, they seemed to coincide with what the stranger had told them concerning the Bible and the restoration of the Gospel. All the family but one accepted the Gospel and prepared to emigrate in a few years to Kirtland; here they met the Prophet of God, Joseph Smith, and became his faithful and loyal followers and friends. On an occasion when the Prophet Joseph was speaking of the three Nephites, Brother Huntington related this little incident to him. He laid his hand on his head and said: “My dear brother, that man was one of the three Nephites who came to prepare you for the restoration of the Gospel and its acceptance.” (Assorted Gems of Priceless Value, by Nels Benjamin Lundwall. The article, called The Prophet Joseph Identifies The Stranger, contains the following note: While visiting in Portland, Oregon, during the month of September, 1938, President Wm. R. Sloan related the following incident to the compiler of this book.) Clark Allen’s family did join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1835. He was baptized in May of 1841 when he was nine years old. After his family joined the church, they left their home in New York and traveled to Kirtland, Ohio. They stayed there about a year, and then continued with the saints to Far West, Missouri and on to Nauvoo, Illinois. Dimick, Clark Allen’s father, helped in the construction of both the Kirtland and Nauvoo temples. He was constable of the settlements of Far West and Nauvoo. He was coroner of Nauvoo, and after Joseph Smith was murdered he helped prepare the body for burial. Clark Allen, at times, went with his father to assist him in his duties. (History of the Church, p.18, 308 and 428)

In 1847, Clark Allen, who was sixteen years old, along with his parents and siblings, began the exodus out of Nauvoo with the rest of the Mormons, crossing the plains, heading for Utah. When his father was called to go with the “Mormon Battalion”, Clark Allen, along with his family, went with him. Dimick B. Huntington was one of the few in the battalion that took his family with him. The family was detached from the main group and went to Pueblo, Colorado. From there they traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, arriving on July 29, 1847. Dimick and Fannie Huntington had nine children, Clark Allen being the oldest. Four of his siblings died during childhood.

After arriving in the Salt Lake Valley, Dimick wrote, “Through all my travels in the Battalion, to Pueblo, back to Laramie and on to Salt Lake Valley, I carried in my wagon a bushel of wheat, and during the winter of 1847, slept with it under my bed, keeping it for seed. For three months my family tasted no bread. We dug thistle roots and other native growths and had some poor beef, with a little milk, but no butter. Early in the spring of 1848, I (Dimick) rode one hundred and fifteen miles to Fort Bridger and bought a quart of little potatoes about the size of pigeon eggs, at twenty-five cents each. From these I raised that year about a bushel of potatoes, but ate none of them. I planted them in 1849 and have had plenty of potatoes ever since.” (Heart Throbs of the West, Kate B. Carter, Vol. 6, p. 432) When President Brigham Young was organizing the men to go out and help rescue the handcart companies that were stranded in Wyoming in 1856, Clark Allen Huntington, twenty-four years of age, joined that rescue party. He was one of the young men that showed his heroism by carrying hundreds of women and children across the icy waters of the Sweetwater River. They would break the ice before them as they waded from shore to shore. The strain was terrible, and Huntington developed a cough that stayed with him his entire life. A quote from Clark Allen’s patriarchal blessing states, “You shall cause streams to break forth in many places, feed thousands in the wilderness by the power of the Priesthood, shall even raise the dead if it be necessary, shall have companions to assist you and sire a posterity that shall be very great in the Priesthood.” After the rescue party found the suffering saints and provided what comfort they could, the question remained how they would get them, and their possessions, to Salt Lake City. The rescue party met to discuss the possibilities. “Steve Taylor, Al Huntington, and Daniel W. Jones were together when the question, “Why doesn’t Captain Grant leave all the goods here with someone to watch them, and move on?” was asked. When they all met together, Captain Grant asked if anyone had thought of a plan. These three young men presented their plan. Captain Grant replied, “I have thought of this, but there are no provisions to leave and it would be asking too much of anyone to stay here and starve for the sake of these goods; besides, where is there a man who would stay if called upon?” The answer came, “Any of us would.” The suggestion was adopted, and plans were made to evacuate the handcart companies. Their possessions were unloaded in a nearby fort; they took only a change of clothing, bedding, and light cooking utensils. Wagons from the rescue company were loaded with the sick and feeble. Then Daniel Jones and a few others were asked to stay behind with the goods until further rescue efforts could be mounted”. (Written by David Kenison from the writings of Daniel W. Jones).

“In 1857 Clark Allen served as a scout for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Lee’s Ferry, later being employed by Warren Johnson at the ferry. He returned to Salt Lake City where he was employed by Mr. Egan as a rider for the Pony Express.” (Our Pioneer Heritage, Utah and The Pony Express, p. 385) In the DESERET WEEKLY Pioneer Publication of the Rocky Mountain Region, established June, 1850, an article called “In the Early Days”, written by H. J. Faust states: “Pleasant Valley, Juab County, July 26, 1893-This Valley was discovered in 1859 by Howard Egan, Al (Clark Allen) Huntington and myself, while exploring the country for a mail route to California. We had been out in a storm for about a week in February—cold, snowing and unpleasant. When we got on the divide of the mountain the sun was setting clear. Mr. Egan turned to me and said, Henry, what will you call this place? I said Pleasant Valley. We went down to the valley and found a beautiful spring, fine grass and a good camping place. Al Huntington took a ride around to look for Indian signs. He came across a fresh track and following it up, overtook an Indian who was running to get away, having seen us. Al gave chase, soon overtook him, and being a good interpreter, made the Indian understand that we were friendly and then brought him into camp, where we gave him something to eat and induced him to stay with us. He proved a valuable guide. We named him Egan Jack. He afterwards proved to be a bad Indian, killing people and stealing. We got him to get all the other Indians together and made treaties with them. The treaties lasted long enough for us to establish stations, but the Indians soon after broke out.” On September 27, 1860 at 9:30 PM, Sir Richard Burton wrote a journal entry about

Clark Allen Huntington and himself while they were at the Faust Station, riding for the pony express: “We passed a pleasant day in revolver practice with Al Huntington and dined on antelope.” “For a short time Clark Allen was a body guard for Brigham Young. He was also a stock man in Utah. He was one of the first white men to master the Indian language in Utah. His father, Dimick, who served as an Indian interpreter for the LDS church, taught Clark Allen the language. Clark Allen was adopted into the Indian tribe and was made honorary chief.” (Beth Allred, great granddaughter of Clark Allen Huntington)

The following quote refers to Clark Allen and others during the times of struggle with Black Hawk: “After the war there were camp fires discovered in the night-time, on the west side of the lake, in the vicinity of Table Point. This was reported to General Wells, who ordered an investigation for peace or otherwise. In the execution of this order, a company of twenty-three, mostly young men, went out and found twenty-four Indian warriors. When they met, the Indians were very hostile, having just found the bodies of the twenty-three Indians killed in the battle at Table Point. One of these warriors, in his wrath, struck Al Huntington (Clark Allen), the interpreter, saying, “What did you kill my brother for?” The Indian chiefs also contemptuously inquired why, if they had come out to fight, they didn’t “bring men instead of boys,” of which the company was chiefly composed. But “the boys” with spirited temper quickly made the warriors understand that they could fight and were quite ready if fight was the order. After talking awhile the wrath of the chiefs was appeased, and the Provo troop divided their dinner with them, smoked the pipe of peace and then all went into the fort, where a treaty of peace was made. There were among these warriors four of the principal chiefs of the Ute nation-Tabby, Sanpitch,Grocepene (three of Walker’s brothers), and chief Antero, cousin of Walker.” (Tullidge’s Quarterly Magazine. The History of Provo) “While the Black Hawk war kept the attention of the settlers and the militia, Chief Tabby on the Uintah reservation was making his preparations to sweep west, join Black Hawk and thus cut off the isolated southern communities from further help until they would be destroyed. The only thing that kept Tabby from doing just that was the brilliance of Brigham Young and the courage of Al Huntington and William Madison Wall and a few of his company. Brigham Young was only too aware of the danger Tabby presented and so called Al Huntington to go along to Tabby’s camp and prevail upon him to cease his raids and live in peace. Up to this point Tabby had little opposition in his raids against the settlements and stock of the Wasatch county settlers because all the settlements had been abandoned in favor of uniting in their common protection in Heber. Brigham Young as a seer and prophet of the living God promised Huntington that no harm would befall him if he undertook the task. With that promise in mind, Huntington did as directed. He went to Tabby’s camp and attempted to deliver the President’s message, but the Indians were too angry to listen to words of peace. Oddly no attempt was made at first to harm Huntington, probably due to the amazement that a white man would come alone to their village. But as he attempted again and again to preach peace to them, they became more and more angry until their anger was at a fever pitch, when a messenger arrived to tell them that Sanpitch had been killed. The Indians were now ready to kill Huntington in retaliation. Sanpitch’s squaw was screaming “Kill the Mormon, I want to eat his heart while it is still warm,” But Sowiette, although old and blind, but still the friend of the settlers, rose to his feet and took the Indians to task for their attitude. One thing an Indian is always willing to acknowledge was courage. Sowiette reminded them that it took the utmost courage to come to their village alone, as Huntington had done. He told them that since the brave man had come in peace he should be allowed to leave in peace. With powerful words of Sowiette in their ears, the Indians let Huntington return to his home unharmed just as President Young had promised him.” (Creer Family History: William Madison Wall)

On June 8, 1865 a treaty was signed called the “TREATY WITH THE UTAH, YAMPAH UTE, PAH-VANT, SANPETE UTE, TIM-P-NOGS AND CUM-NM-BAH BANDS OF THE UTAH INDIANS.” Clark Allen Huntington along with his father, Dimick B. Huntington, served as interpreters, and were signers of the document.(Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties Vol. 5) “During the mid-1850’s, Lt. Col. Edward J. Steptoe, commander of the U.S. Army in Utah, was ordered to survey for a direct wagon road from Salt Lake City to northern California. The first of these surveys was completed in 1854 by O. B and C. A. Huntington (Oliver B. and Clark Allen), and John Reese, the builder of the first permanent Euroamerican building in Nevada, among others. They began by following Beckwith’s route in and through Nevada. On their return, they explored the area east of Carson Lake.” (Exploration and Early Settlement in Nevada Historic Contest by Terri McBride, Nevada State Historic Preservation Office) C. A. Huntington spent a great deal of time traveling the country of Utah, Arizona and Nevada. During his travels he spent some time where later “Lee’s Ferry” was built. In 1857 he carved his name in a rock in this area. While this date has been questioned by some, there is no doubt of his extensive travels in dealing with the Indian situation and other assignments from Brigham Young.

Clark Allen, because of his extensive experience living in the West, working as a pony express rider and as an Indian interpreter, became very familiar with the country in Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. He was an excellent hunter and marksman. Clark Allen was a scout for many trips and hunting expeditions. He went on a hunting trip as a scout for Buffalo Bill (William Cody) and a party of two English Lords. (Photos and names in possession of SUU Special Collections)

Clark Allen and Rosanna Galoway lived in California for a period of time. Their son, Alexander Wiley said they moved a lot and that Clark Allen wanted to go back to Utah, “to be with the saints.” His wife wouldn’t go, so he left her and the children in California. He eventually went to Lee’s Ferry in Arizona. There he found employment with the Warren Johnson family, helping run the ferry. Warren Johnson, with his family, had been called on a mission to go to Lee’s Ferry in Arizona, and run the ferry across the Colorado River. Jody Johnson (daughter of Warren Johnson) said, “Daddy Huntington (Clark Allen) lived with us for about fifteen years. There wasn’t much communication between Clark Allen and his family and for quite some time Clark Allen thought that his son, Alexander Wiley was dead. It isn’t known when Alexander Wiley left California but he eventually went to Lee’s Ferry and found his father.

Jody Johnson wrote the following experience: “During Clark Allen’s stay at Lee’s Ferry, he didn’t know where his son, Alexander Wiley was. It worried him. Alexander Wiley had run away from home and they didn’t know what happened to him and they thought he was dead. One morning Clark Allen got up and told the folks that Alexander Wiley wasn’t dead. It wasn’t long before Alexander Wiley came to the ferry. He had a mule. This made Clark Allen very upset to think that a son of his would be such a person as to roam the country on a mule. Clark Allen was always proud of his horses and always had good saddle horses”.

Jody Johnson writes of another experience involving Clark Allen: “Jerimian (Jerry) Johnson, and Al (Clark Allen) took a bunch of calves out to the Buckskin to sell to Anthony W. Ivins. They had to cut back some of the calves to bring back. They camped at Jacob’s Pool, at House Rock Valley. The next morning, Al told Jerry that there would be an accident in the family and to prepare himself for it. A short time after he said this, father (Warren) was in an accident, breaking his back, and was paralyzed from the waist down. Al knew that father was going to get hurt. Al had other inspirations or foresight. He was a typical pioneer. He moved out from the ferry and helped take care of father. He was just like a father to us kids”.

Lydia Johnson Spencer of Glendale, Utah said, “Al used to tell them (Lydia’s family) stories and entertain them all the time. He used to make toys and things for them.” He told her one time that, “He had a little girl just about her size that he loved very much and missed.” He was talking about his daughter, Rosanna. (Story told to Beth Allred, great granddaughter of Clark Allen)

Brent Turek, a great-grandson of Clark Allen Huntington had the opportunity to visit with Frank Johnson, son of Warren Johnson, who personally knew his great grandfather: “During my freshman year at Dixie College, my mother, my Aunt Ada and I met with Frank Johnson, one of Warren Johnson’s sons and discussed the period of time that Clark Allen Huntington (Al) lived with the Johnson family at Lee’s Ferry and in Kanab. The following is an abbreviated version of this conversation. Mr. Johnson said that despite Al’s ( the name he typically went by) many adventures in Indian wars, exploration of Utah, serving as a body guard to Brigham Young and serving as a special messenger to the Indians for Brigham young, he was very warm, friendly and easy to like. He got along well with their family, and most others, especially the children. He served as a surrogate father during the time that Johnson’s father, Warren, was away from home and after Warren was invalided when he broke his back. He taught the boys many skills of life. The one the boys liked the best was that of shooting, in which Al excelled. Frank said that Al was a perfectionist when teaching it. The boys were always trying to get Al to do shooting tricks and would do his chore of chopping the wood if he could do marksmanship tricks that they deemed impossible. “ I think we chopped the wood most of the time.” Frank said that Al was quite spiritual and able to know of events that were to take place in the future. He claimed this occurred a number of times. Two of these were when Al predicted his son Alexander coming to visit him and the debilitating accident to Warren Johnson. Clark Allen suffered from severe coughing spells for most of his life. These spells started after his experience of carrying the Martin Handcart Saints across the Sweet Water River in Wyoming in 1856. Frank indicated that Al spent a number of days in the fall getting wagon loads of wood for widows and those in need. Bishop Richard McAllister of Kanab is reported to have said:“Clark Allen Huntington was my ideal.” Al was a good friend to the Indians and spoke several languages fluently. Toward the end of his life the Indians would come by to see him and would bring him fresh meat, especially venison, which Al really liked.” Alexander Wiley was with his father much of the time during the last three years of his father’s life. He said that Clark Allen contracted a cough when he had helped the people at the Sweetwater and that it stayed with him all the rest of his life, eventually causing his death. Clark Allen Huntington passed away at the home of Warren Johnson and was interred in the cemetery in Kanab, Utah on November 16, 1896.

Helping the Martin Handcart Company across the Sweetwater RiverOn 28 July 1856 a handcart company under the leadership of Edward Martin left Iowa City, Iowa, and started across the plains to the Salt Lake Valley.By October, cold weather and snow caught them in the mountains in central Wyoming. Short on food and other supplies, members of the company experienced exposure to cold, hunger, and exhaustion, and some began to die. They would suffer more losses than any other pioneer handcart company.Earlier in October, when Brigham Young learned that there were still many Saints out on the trail, he sent a rescue party with supplies to help bring the people to Salt Lake. The Martin Company met up with rescue party members in late October and early November and received welcome but limited amounts of food and supplies. With the rescuers' help, they struggled on toward Salt Lake.On 4 November they came to the Sweetwater River, near Devil's Gate. The river was about 100 feet wide and almost waist deep in places. To make it worse, big chunks of ice were floating in the water. For the weakened members of the Martin Company, the crossing appeared almost impossible.One of the handcart pioneers later remembered that some of the pioneers were able to ford the river, but others could not. At that point, several members of the rescue party—one account names C. Allen Huntington, Stephen W. Taylor, and teenagers David P. Kimball and George W. Grant—stepped forward to help. These courageous men "waded the river, helping the handcarts through and carrying the women and children and some of the weaker of the men over" (John Jaques, "Some Reminiscences," Salt Lake Daily Herald, 15 Dec. 1878, 1; see also 19 Jan. 1879, 1).One of the women who was carried over the river later recalled: "Those poor brethren [were] in the water nearly all day. We wanted to thank them, but they would not listen to [us]. My dear mother felt in her heart to bless them for their kindness. She said, 'God bless you for taking me over this water and in such an awful, rough way.' [They said], 'Oh, ... I don't want any of that. You are welcome. We have come to help you.' " This sister also reported that one of the rescuers "stayed so long in the water that he had to be taken out and packed to camp, and he was a long time before he recovered, as he was chilled through. And in after life he was always afflicted with rheumatism" (Patience Loader Rozsa Archer, reminiscence, in Women's Voices: An Untold History of the Latter-day Saints, 18301900, ed. Kenneth W. Godfrey, Audrey M. Godfrey, and Jill Mulvay Derr [1982], 236; spelling and punctuation standardized).These rescuers and what they had done were brought to President Young's attention. "When President Brigham Young heard of this heroic act," one writer stated, "he wept like a child, and declared that this act alone would immortalize them" (Solomon F. Kimball, "Our Pioneer Boys," Improvement Era, July 1908, 679).

An excerpt from Lonehawk's Blog

I was thinking the other day about an interview that I had several years ago concerning my Grandpa Huntington, my dads dad. I was talking to an old gentleman from Hurricane, and he told me this story." While I was working at Lees ferry, I remember your Grandpa Clark Allen, and as I was a young man, I was to take the skiff over the river and bring back people or things that needed to be transported across the Colorado River at the Lees ferry. One day, we were hailed by a person leading a Donkey and said that he wanted to be ferried across the river. I went over there to get him, and as there wasn't room in the skiff to put the donkey, we tied it to the back of the boat and started to cross the river. The reason that I remember it so plain, is that as we started to cross the river, the donkey would swim, but then I guess that it found out that it didn't have to swim, and so it laid on its side and we pulled it across the river"."As the evening progressed, I remember that we were to have supper, and ask the stranger to join us, and he accepted. As the supper progressed, he was asked what he was doing in the area, and his reply was that he wanted to find his father, and shoot a few of the old Mormons off the fence where they were setting and making their wives work the fields. When he was ask the name of his father, he told them that it was Clark Allen Huntington, and he was setting at the same table as his father". I Talked with this old fellow for quite a while and found him to be quite a fun person to talk to, and he also added that when he told them of his fathers name, that Clark Allen was shocked to see his son after so many years, but had not recognized him until that time.The rest of the story about Grandpa A W (Dimick) Huntington is included in the family history as written by my wonderful sister Beth, without her, a lot of the history of our family would not be known. I doubt that I have ever told her about this story of talking with a person who was at the Ferry at the time that Grandpa Dimick and Great Grandpa Clark Allen met at Lees Ferry.I thought it necessary to include this story in a blog for everyone to see and copy for it is an interview with an eye witness to the event.Keep in touch and keep the blogs coming....................Lonehawk

Information I found in a BYU Study:

C. Allen Huntington. Huntington, who died on November 16, 1896, a few weeks shy of his sixty-fifth birthday, became the renegade of the group, and in March 1860 he was serving time in the Utah territorial penitentiary. This was not his only run-in with the law.
In 1880 he was living in the southern Utah mining community of Silver Reef. By the 1890s he worked as a hired hand at Lee’s Ferry on the Colorado River. He was employed at the ferry when he died in nearby Kanab, Utah. No cause of death was given.

71. In a March 6, 1860, letter to Nathaniel V. Jones, George A. Smith wrote that “The Probate Court of this county has been overhauling the horse and cattle thieves. Indictments have been found against Martin Wheeler, Moroni Clawson, Isaac Neibaur, Chas. Manhard, C. Allen Huntington, Truelove Manhard, James Covey and W. W. Wheeler and others. M. Wheeler, C. A. Huntington, Moroni Clawson, and Truelove Manhard were sentenced to the penitentiary for various terms.” George A. Smith to Nathaniel V. Jones, March 6, 1860, in Journal History of the Church, March 6, 1860, Church Archives, microfilm copy in Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.

71 . In 1889, Landon Gibson wrote his brother about meeting Huntington: “Al Huntington has a big scar on the back of his head, and this morning I asked him how he came by it. He told me he had an argument with a ‘Greaser’ and he had cut him. I asked him what he did to him, and he saide he wouldnt tell me, but added, ‘Twelve of my Countrymen said I did the right thing.’” Langdon Gibson to Dana

A story from the New York Times from 1860:

FROM UTAH.; The Breach Between the Judiciary and the Mormons Action of Gov. Cumming More Shooting Affrays The Pony Express.

Correspondence of the New-York Times.

GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, U.T., Tuesday, April 10, 1860.

The breach between the Federal Judiciary and the Mormons is daily growing wider. A few days since Chief Justice ECKELS, upon a petition for kabeas corpus, released five prisoners that were confined in the Penitentiary by authority of a mittimus from the Probate Court for the County of Great Salt Lake, and consequently the Mountaineer, the temporal organ of the Saints, in its last issue, abuses him with all the bitterness that a malevolent spirit and a devilish disposition could pour forth, calling him "the great ermined impediment to the execution of the laws," "the protector of thieves," &c. And as this rant may possibly mislead some of those who are unacquainted with Mormon deceit and Mormon impudence, I will enter into a brief explanation, even at the risk of tiring both you and your readers.

The Territorial Legislature, by an Act approved Feb. 4, 1852, gave to the Probate Courts of the Territory the power to exercise "original jurisdiction, both civil and criminal, and as well in chancery as at common law." As the Judges of these Courts are appointed by the Legislature, and perhaps at the behest of BRIGHAM YOUNG, these extraordinary powers were granted them that they might be used in white washing Mormon criminals, and robbing Gentiles and emigrants of their property under the forms of law. The act of Congress organizing the Territory, provides that "the legislative power of the said Territory shall extend to all rightful subjects of legislation, consistent with the Constitution of the United States, and the provisions of this act." It has been repeatedly decided by the Federal Judges that the granting this extended jurisdiction to the Probate Courts was inconsistent with the provisions of the Organic Act, as it expressly says the District Courts respectively shall possess common law and chancery jurisdiction, and expressly granting it to them is held to be a virtual denial to all others. Yet, notwithstanding all this, the Mormons are determined to force this Court upon the people, and to that end the Legislature has never appropriated one dollar toward defraying the expenses of the District Courts, and of course, having no money, they cannot arrest nor detain persons charged with crime, and this is the precise condition that BRIGHAM and his myrmidons intended to place them in. Meanwhile, the Probate Courts arrest whomsoever they will, and with scarcely the formality of a trial, confine them in the Penitentiary, and the prisoners then petition Judge ECKELS for a writ of habeas corpus, which he is bound by statute to grant under penalty of a heavy fine, and when they are brought before him, finding that they are detained by authority of a Probate Court, he, of course, releases them, and thereupon the Mormons raise the hypocritical cry that he is preventing crime from being punished, &c., whereas they never intended to punish criminals, except that they could pounce upon some defenceless person whom they could rob of a large amount of property; for when a warrant is issued for the arrest of any one, the officer is also commanded to take into his custody all of the defendant's property, and what becomes of it after that, I have no doubt BRIGHAM knows. The whole thing is gotten up for effect in the States. They confine men in the Penitentiary knowing that it is illegal, and that they will be released, so that they will get credit for attempting to punish crime, while the Federal Judiciary, by releasing them, will receive nothing but odium. Their trick ought to be exposed. It will cost no more to have criminals punished by the District Courts, in regard to whose jurisdiction there can be no doubt, than by the Probate Courts. Then why do they not furnish these Courts with means? Is it not fair to presume they will when they really want criminals punished? In other parts of the United States, when a question is once solemnly decided by the constituted judicial tribunals, the people acquiesce; but here Courts and their decisions meet with no such respect, unless enforced at the point of the bayonet or the muzzle of the revolver. The Mormons trample upon them without the slightest regard. FRANK MCNIEL was once thus imprisoned, and last August, when he sued BRIGHAM YOUNG for the trespass and false imprisonment, he was shot down in the streets, and his murderer, to this day, has not even been arrested; and Judge Smith, who sentenced the five men before mentioned, told AL HUNTINGTON, one of the five, that "if ever he attempted to sue him it would be the last time that either he or his lawyer would look upon daylight."

It is said that Gov. CUMMING, in company with some Mormon friends, spent almost the whole of last Thursday night in preparing affidavits to send to Washington in regard to the release of the five prisoners above mentioned, strongly disapproving the Judge's decision, and asking for some kind of aid, but what kind he does not quite know himself. I would modestly suggest that if he had spent a few sleepless nights last Winter in trying to prevail upon the Legislature to pass an appropriation for the Courts, his time had been better employed, at least his exertions would have been quite as effective, and rather more consistent than his lamentations now are.

Two men were shot in Frogtown, adjacent to camp, last week, but neither are dead, though it is thought and generally hoped that one of them, FRANK GARVY, will die. The other one is called "Cub" JOHNSON -- he is only shot through the knee. If both die the community will sustain no great loss, for they are worthless fellows, and suspected for horse-stealing.

The troops are elated with the prospect of getting out of this benighted country, though all would be anxious to remain if they could get leave to punish the traitorous Mormons. This feeling is universal among them, and is incontestible evidence of the hostility of the Mormons to our Government; but as there is no hope of this during the present Administration, they don't want to remain.

The Pony Express from the West came in last Saturday midnight, being four days out from San Francisco; and from the East it came in at 5 P.M. on Monday last, being six days out from St. Joseph. It came in "on time" from both ways, and went on through like a flash. It is regarded by persons here who know what it is to cross these plains, as almost the greatest private enterprise of the age; and, knowing the energetic character of its originator, but little doubt is entertained of its making the entire trip in seven days, before the expiration of the Summer. This will be in round numbers 400 miles per day, and is far beyond a parallel in history. RICHARD.

This was taken from testimony in a court case...

Q Do you recall, Mr. Kane, at what point Mr. Stanton
picked up his survey line?
A No, I do not, except I think it was about two or
three days before we go into Lees Ferry; we were looking for
the point along there, I know, and stopping and looking to
find this point, and we finally found it, and carried the
survey on from there; it was below the San Juan.
Q Did you participate in the survey yourself?
A Yes, I carried a rod.
Q How large a place was Lees Ferry?
A Just a ranch house and a family there; there was a
man and his wives, and I think nine or ten children; and then
he had a man there named Al Huntington, that made his headquarters
there, and elderly man, I thought he was a very old
man, but I know now he was just a middle-aged man; and that

was all.

Interesting story about how they had a run-in with Indians during a hunting expedition from The Journal of Dr. Priddy Meeks::

So next morning we started to go over to the waters of Bear River and we struck the Emigration Road at the Cave-in-rock just in time to see The Twelve and their Company pass. So we passed on and happened to get in company with Dimick Huntington, Thomas Willis, Augustus Dodge and Al Huntington, who had come out to hunt. We all went on to the waters of Bear River and hunted until we were tired and made a pour out; game scarce and very wild but we all carried something home with us.
While there I went on foot and alone some distance from camp and the first thing I saw then was a parcel of Indians coming though a gap in the ridge as hard as their horses could go. Seemingly I did not like it but stopped still until they came up. They did not quite run over me but their looks and gestures were hostile. They halted and took a look at me and said something I did not understand. I eyed them closely and thought they were the two I had seen in the valley. I tried to make them understand that I was a Mormon and from the Valley and was hunting antelope. After consultation they gave me to understand that I might hunt antelope. I do believe they intended killing me but the Lord changed their minds, so they did not harm me and I have always believed that I ought to have taken President Young’s counsel he gave me about Indians before I started. The way they approached me is the way they do when they intend killing a person. So when we came to Weber River on our way home, we had to swim it.
Here now was a dangerous job to get across, to sit on our horses and swim over not knowing whether our horses could swim or not, but it was all the chance. So we put in as high up as we could so as not to come out too low down the road slanting down the river which was in our favor. So we started in one at a time and all got through safe and the next day reached home alright. Now this whole trip was not characterized by the same feeling and everything else that the other three trips were, but the Lord preserved us and we all got home safely.

An excerpt from "Forty YEars Among the Indians" by Daniel W. Jones:

While in Manti, during the winter, I boarded with Father Isaac Morley. During the winter I made the acquaintance of Dimick B. Huntington. He told me about the iBook of Mormon, its relationship to the Indians, etc. It seemed natural to me to believe it. I cannot remember ever questioning in my mind the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, or that Joseph Smith was a prophet. The question was: Are the Mormons sincere, and can I be one? I heard a great many hard remarks about the Missourians, and being one myself, I felt to resent the wholesale accusations made against them.

....

During the war with the Indians numbers of them were killed and wounded. About the year 1868 or 1869 there was some little effort made to bring about a peace. Brother D. B. Huntington had a talk with some in Thistle valley who wished peace, but many thefts and small raids were made after this, continuing from time to time. The Indians began to have a dread of some settlements as guards and patrols were out at times. One small party had stolen some stock from Provo valley. They were killing a beef, when they were surprised and all killed. 
The Indians acknowledged to me that they were afraid of Provo and Rhodes' valley people. 
....
I went and talked with D. B. Huntington. He was pretty well posted on what I was doing and was in sympathy with me. He was a good interpreter and was not known by Mr. Dodge. Dimick went out and explained my situation to the Indians, that I had been forbidden by Mr. Dodge to visit them ; that I did not want them to resist but to listen to General Morrow and go back to the agency peaceably. The Indians met at Springville, where General Morrow listened to them. I was not present but kept track of all the moves. The Indians were perfectly willing now to return and made no offer of resistance. Several hundred sacks of flour as well as the beef cattle mentioned, were sent out. The Indians were now happy. So far my aims were accom- plished. Peace had been made and confirmed between the white people and hostile Utes. Government had taken notice of their condition, and provisions had been sent. All this had been done on the stir I had been the means of making.

A history of Panguitch Utah written by my grandmother:

PANGUITCH

Panguitch, county seat and largest community of Garfield County, is built on the south side of the Panguitch Valley, on the north slope of the nearby mountains, and between Panguitch Creek on the west and the Sevier River on the east. The elevation most quoted by citizens is 6,666 feet. The settlement was first called Fairview, but the name was changed to Panguitch, anIndian word meaning "Big Fish," for nearby Panguitch Lake, a wonderful fishing lake for both Indians and pioneers. The town's land is generally arid and rocky, with sandy, fertile soil. The climate is severe, with sub-freezing weather seven months of the year.
In March 1864 fifty-four pioneer families led by Jens Neilson arrived the area from Parowan and other settlements. They came over much the same route followed later by Highway 20. A fort was built on the present school square. Cabins were built around the perimeter, pens and corrals were included for cattle, horses, and sheep. Land was soon cleared and irrigation ditches and canals were surveyed and dug. However, crops planted the first year failed to mature; the settlers gathered and ate frozen wheat.
During the first winter, supplies ran out. Seven men were sent to Parowan for grain. They drove teams as far as the base of the mountain, then proceeded on foot. The snow was deep, and the men sank and could not walk. One man accidentally dropped his quilt on the ground and found that it supported him. All seven men formed a line, laying their quilts on the snow and then walking across the quilts. This procedure was repeated all the way across the mountain, and the trek became known as the quilt walk. Parowan pioneers came to meet the men, who were fed, sheltered, and given grain. The men and food were taken as close to Panguitch as possible, but the grain still had to be carried across the mountain to the waiting teams. A happy welcome greeted the successful adventurers.
On 10 April 1865 three men were killed by Indians in Sanpete County--hostilities which started the Black Hawk War. The Panguitch community was advised to leave, and the town was abandoned in May 1866. Residents left their homes and crops and sought safety in Parowan and other communities.
In 1870 Brigham Young made a trip through the valley and decided it was time to resettle. He called George W. Sevy, a resident of Harmony, to gather a company and resettle Panguitch. The following notice appeared in the Deseret News in early 1871: "All those who wish to go with me to resettle Panquitch Valley, will meet me at Red Creek on the 4th day of March, 1871 and we will go over the mountain in company to settle that country." The company arrived 18 or 19 March, found no snow on the ground, the dwellings and clearings unmolested, and even the crops of earlier settlers still standing.
The settlers first moved into the fort. Progress later brought a gristmill, sawmills, a shingle mill, post office, tannery, shoe shop, lime and brick kilns, a hotel, and a co-op store. The meetinghouse built in the fort continued to be used as a school and for church services. An early organization of the United Order was formed; however, it lasted only about two years and was dissolved.
Panguitch was believed to be in Iron County until 9 March 1882 when the territorial legislature created Garfield County and set the current boundaries. School districts were created and county officials appointed. There were no railroads at the time in Garfield County, which features extensive forest lands.
With a population of 500, Panguitch was incorporated in 1899. Agriculture along with cattle and sheep raising formed the basic economy. A dam was built at Panguitch Lake to enable it to hold more water for irrigation. The West Panguitch Irrigation Company controls the water from Panguitch Lake, while Sevier River water is managed by the Sevier River Water Users Association. Present ditches and canals follow courses laid out by early surveyors.
Panguitch architecture is characterized by beautiful, locally made, red brick. Making brick was a community affair. The two-story brick structures are generally the oldest; the second generation of red brick homes were one-story dwellings.
Electricity arrived in 1910. The Social Hall, built about 1900 and destroyed by fire before 1920, was rebuilt and was the center of drama, dance, social, scout, and youth activities, including court games. It is still in use today.
In 1940 Panguitch reached its largest population--2,500. The population in 1990 was 1,444. During World War II, many people left town to work in war industries. Three hundred forty-eight service men and seven nurses and WACs from Panguitch served during this war, and the period marked the beginning of an exodus of people from Panguitch.
In 1954-55, Croft Sawmills began operations in Panguitch and brought many new people into town while allowing many area people to remain. In 1970 Kaibab Industries acquired the sawmill and became the largest employer. Today the sawmill staff has been reduced to thirteen employees because of timber harvesting restrictions. Forest and range permits also limited the cattle and sheep industry. At the present time, tourism seems to be the best, economically feasible industry. Panguitch is near five national parks as well as monuments and near teeming trout streams and lakes. Campgrounds, recreation areas, a ski resort, and verdant forestssurround the town.
Homecoming, July 24th, is the biggest local celebration and includes a parade, reunions (family and class), community breakfast, pit barbeque dinner, races, games, rodeo, and dance. A beautiful historic cemetery lies about two miles east of the town on Highway 89. Tombstones date in the 1870s.
To accommodate tourism Panguitch currently has fourteen motels, four restaurants, three fast food stores, five gas stations, three gas and convenience stores, a fabric store, two grocery stores, two hardware stores, a hospital and clinic, real estate offices, two Indian crafts stores, and a Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum. An elementary school, a middle school, and a high school, three LDS wards and a stake center, a Catholic church, a Baptist church, and the county courthouse and jail are available to serve community residents.

TRAVEL POSTCARD FROM PANGUITCH, UTAH
Date: December 1, 2002

Travelers along U.S. 89 who drive through Panguitch -- Garfield County's largest town -- on their way to Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon or Zion might have wondered about the city's unusual name. Dorothy Houston, who wrote the section on Panguitch for the Utah History Encyclopedia,

said the town was originally called Fairview but was later changed Panguitch. That is a American Indian word meaning "Big Fish" and refers to nearby Panguitch...Author: Compiled by Tom Wharton The Salt Lake Tribune

Utah, USA

Dorothy May Ward Houston, 92, of Panguitch, passed away on December 4, 2009.

She was born February 4, 1917 in Bloomington, Idaho to John Mahonri and Ida May Patterson Ward.

She married Dee Fred Houston Sr. on October 29, 1941 in the Salt Lake Temple. He preceded her in death.

Dort (her Bear Lake nickname) never lost her love for Bear Lake, Idaho where she grew up and was her father's helper on the farm. She grew up with 186 first cousins who stayed close until their deaths.

She attended BYU, taught school in Bloomington, and then moved to Panguitch as a teacher. She graduated from BYU then continued her education almost yearly, but enrolled only in those classes which interested her.

Dorothy loved teaching all children, but especially teaching her family of boys in Cub Scouts, Scouts, 4-H, or any of the activities in which they were interested.

She was even called by her bishop to be the North Ward Scout Master for a short period of time. All her boys were Eagle Scouts and most of her grandsons and many Panguitch boys received their Eagles through her influence. She enjoyed painting ceramics and later pictures, playing the piano for herself or her class only and quilting.

Her interests were always with young people. She was involved in Young Women's on the LDS Ward or Stake level for many years. She spent years as a Merit Badge Counselor, and doing road shows.

When Dot (nickname in Panguitch) moved to Panguitch, she adopted Garfield County as her home. She was an avid historian who loved the people and stories of the area. As a member of Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and Business and Professional Women she dedicated a great deal of time to community work.

While helping in her husband's mercantile, she became acquainted with most of the people of Garfield County and was a friend to all. She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who will remember her as a very, very special Grandma.

She is survived by her sons John Ward (Diane) Houston, Dee Fred (Janet) Houston Jr., James Frank (Jeri Lu) Houston III, David George (Carol) Houston; nineteen grandchildren; thirty-nine great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband; great-granddaughter, Avery Houston; her parents; her sisters, Donna Ward, Rhea Ward, Maxine (Darrel) White, LaVoyle Sargent.

Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. in the Panguitch Stake Center, 100 West 550 South. A viewing will be held on Wednesday evening at the Stake Center from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Thursday morning from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Burial will be in the Panguitch City Cemetery.

Thomas Dury was born 19 May 1767 at Washington, Durham, England to Thomas Dury Sr. and Dorothy Johnson, but he was christened at Golden Hole, Earsdon, Northumberland, England on 5 July 1767, which was across the Tyne close to North Shields. He met and manied Elizabeth Bell, who came from North Biddick, Washington, in Durham County and whose parents were John Bell and Elizabeth Taylor. She was christened there 13 May 1771.

Thomas and Elizabeth were married 26 July 1792. To this couple were born two daughters:

Thomas Bowman and Ma ry Whaley

Joseph's great-grandparents on his mother's side were Thomas Bowman and Ma ry Whaley who came from Whitley by Hexham, Northumberland, England. They were manied at Whitley Chapel, Hexhamshire, Northumberland. It is believed that Thomas is the son of Thomas Bowman Sr. and Mary and was christened 8 Jun 1743 at Whitley Chapel by Hexhamshire. Recent research indicates that Mary Whaley was bom to James Whaley of Stewarton, Ayr, Scotland who married Maiy Curry, of Whickham, Durham, England.

Their children were:

Edward McGregor and Mary Dale 5G Grandparents

2011-03-06T13:24:00.000-08:00

Edwa rd McGregor and Mary Dale The other grandparents were Edwa rd McGregor and Ma ry Dale. It is believed that Edward McGregor was bora in Scotland. In the temple record kept by Edward Patterson of work done in Logan, he stated that his father came from Scotland. We have located in the old Scottish records an Edward McGregor born to Alexander McGregor and Jean (Jane) Finlayson in Edinburg during the right period of time, but more research needs to be done. We do have the names ofthe children of Edward and Mary, who lived in the Newcastle area, generally the Tynemouth area, but the children were christened in the All Saints church, as were the Pattersons.

1. Anne was christened 4 Sep 1768 and manied John Foster 4 Jan 1794 in the All Saints Church.

2. Edward McGregor, Jr., was born 9 Aug 1772 and manied Mary Slynn or Flynn in the All Saints Church.

3. The third child, Margaret, was born 4 Jun 1775. We have no record of her marriage or her death.

4. John and Margaret could possibly have died young, because we have only their christening dates. John was christened at All Saints 9 Nov 1777.

5. The family temple records in the Logan Temple done by the family listed our J a ne McGregor, as having been born in 1780 and listed of Newcastle. Jane manied William Patterson on 24 Nov 1799 at All Saints and died at Heaton, Northumberland, England. Possibly Jane could have been bom on a visit back to Scotland, or during the period of time she was born, parents had to pay a fee to have their children christened and maybe they did not have the money.

6. James was born 4 Sep 1785.

7. Mary was bom at Newcastle 25 May 1788; manied Edward White 22 Nov 1807 at All Saints.

8. The last child, another John, was christened 31 Oct 1790 at All Saints.

Robert Patterson & Alice Brown (or Mary Maughn) wife name unclear 5G Grandparents

2011-03-06T13:20:00.000-08:00

Robert Pa t t e r son, father of William and his wife Mary. We are not sure of Robert Patterson's birth. There were several born in the neighborhood of Felton and/or just south along the vein of coal. There was a Robert Patterson who was christened at Ulgham, Northumberland County on 19 Mai- 1749 and also one bom at Wallsend in 1751, and another in Long Horsley about that same time. There is a possibility that any of these might be correct. We tend to think that it is probably the one christened at Ulgham because it is near Felton parish as refened to in the research done by Mr. Humpherey-Smith, but this is still unproven. The fact that several of his children were bom in Wallsend also gives credibility to that Robert. Because of the English naming patterns it is felt that the Robert that married Mary Maughan is likely to be the correct maniage, rather than Alice Brown. There are many Mary's in the family and no Alice's. We do know, according to the recording of Joseph Bowman Patterson while on his mission in England, that Edward had three uncles. He listed them as John, who died at Benton Pit at age 71 years and George, who died at Seghill and Robert who died at West Moore. He then listed three aunts, Elizabeth, who married John Cockburn, Maiy and Anne Patterson.

A possible listing of the children of Robert Patterson and Ma ry a r e:

1. John, b. 16 Sep 1775, Long Horsley, Northumberland, Eng.; d Benton Pit, possibly md. Mary Caulson at All Saints.

2. Anne; c 14 Jun 1777, Wallsend.

3. William, c 30 Apr 1778, Eshott, Felton, Northumberland; m. J a ne McGregor

24 Jun 1799, All Saints, d. Jesmond, St. Andrews, Northumberland.

4. Elizabeth, c 30 Jul 1780, Earsden by North Shields, Northumberland, md. John

Cockburn.

5. George, b 11 Sep 1785, Wallsend, Northumberland, d. West Moore.

6. Maiy, b 17 Sep 1788, Wallsend, Northumberland.

7. Ann, b 2 Jun 1793, Wallsend, Northumberland.

The Patterson Coat of Arms has the motto, "I die for those I love." It has been myobservation that the Pattersons do love deeply and especially their wives and children.

The McGregor Coat of Arms has the motto, "Royal is my Ra c e ". What a proud butgood people these are!

William Bowman & Dorothy Dury 4G Grandparents

2011-03-06T13:16:00.000-08:00

William Bowman and Dorothy Dury

Joseph's mother, Mary Bowman was the oldest child born to William Bowman and his wife, Dorothy Dury Bowman, who lived in Janow, Durham County, England at the time.

Janow at that time was a large parish, extending to include Wallsend (which might explain how Edward and Mary met). The district abounds in coal, and there was an extensive colliery in operation, 195 feet deep and hiring 250 workers. It was described, as being a very neat village about a mile in length, chiefly inhabited by people from the colliery and the paper mill there. There was an ancient church there. Joseph Bowman Patterson's maternal grandfather was William Bowman, bora 30 August 1784 at Harwood Shield, Hexhamshire, Northumberland, England which was inland along the Tyne River, to Thomas and Mary Whaley Bowman. His grandmother was Dorothy Dury, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Bell Dury, 11 May 1793. Evidently William met Dorothy as he worked along the Tyne eastward from Hexham, perhaps as he worked in the colliery in Jarrow. They were manied on 16 July 1792.

They had six children.

1. Mary Bowman was the only daughter bora to William and Dorothy and was bom at Janow, across the Tyne from Newcastle. She was bom 14 November 1816. After the family moved to Newcastle, she manied Edwa rd Patterson 24 Apr 1837. They had nine children. The family joined the church and emigrated to America. She died at Bloomington, Bear Lake, 10 Sep 1908.

2. Their second child, a son, Thomas, was bora at Lamesly and christened at Streetgate, Durham County. Thomas manied Ellen Hill of Hathory Bum, Harwood Shield in Hexhamshire. He died 8 Jun 1908.

3. William, their second son, also was bom at Lamesley on 20 Apr 1822 and was christened on 19 May 1822 at Streetgate. He died in December 1908. Notice that all three of these members ofthe family died in 1908. William manied Dorothy Fife on 3rd May 1851. This is probably the William Bowman family that J.B. talks about in his journal. (See picture in the story of this family.) J.B. wrote quite frequently ofhis visits to the home of this good family ofhis uncle.

3. Joseph Bowman was the third son whose birth occurred 16 Feb 1825. at Whickham. He died 5 Februaiy 1843 at the age of 18 (perhaps this makes it easier to understand why Maiy named three babies this name, in honor of her young brother).

4. John Bowman was born after the family moved to Newcastle, which was across the Tyne. He was born the 27 Februaiy 1828 at Byker Hill, near Newcastle. John was the first member of the Bowman family to be converted by the missionaries. He and his young nephew, Edward McGregor Patterson, emigrated to America and settled in Idaho and in Utah. He manied Elizabeth Carr- He .died in Murray and was buried in Ogden.

5. The Bowman's sixth child was Robert, who was bom 27 August 1830 in Byker Hill, and was christened at St. Andrews in Newcastle. He manied (1) Ida Potts tihe 1st of April 1861 at All Saints Church. After he emigrated to the U.S. he settled in Logan, Cache, Utah. He later married (2) Hulda Andrews Johnson 18 May 1866. He passed away 8 December 1916 in Salt Lake and was buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Ancestry

Patterson Family

The Patterson family lived in Northumberland County in northern England and borders on Scotland. Several members of the family have tried to trace the ancestry of this noble family, but it has been quite difficult. Family tradition has it that Joseph Bowman's father was Edward and his father was William, being the son of a Robert. It has been difficult to find the conect William and Robert because they lived in Northumberland County where there were many Pattersons. Someone years ago selected a Robert, but we felt quite unsure whether it was right.

So about twelve years ago we hired a researcher, a Mr. Humphery-Smith, who found the particular records we were looking for. (See letter.) We know this is the correct William because of the description. It spells out that William was wed to Jane McGregor, daughter of Edward McGregor of North Shields or Tynemouth, that he was a "pitman" from the parish of Felton, and Jane's father was a "waterman" from Tynemouth. They were manied in the All Saints church in Newcastle and most of their children were christened there.

The Patterson men were pitmen by trade, coming from a long line of coal miners in Northumberland County. At the time of Joseph Bowman Patterson's birth, the family lived at Wallsend. This place was given that particular name because of its location. It was located at the end of an ancient wall built by the Romans called Hadrian's Wall. According to family records, the Pattersons had lived in many small places along the vein of coal that began at Eshott in the Parish of Felton in the northern part of the county and extends down to Newcastle upon the Tyne and on into Durham County across the Tyne river. Their children were bom at some of the following places: Fawdon. Heaton, Wallsend, Little Benton, and Seaton Burn. These are all collieries in the area around Newcastle.

Paternal Gr a n d p a r e n ts

William Patterson a nd J a ne McGregor

Joseph's paternal grandfather was William Patterson, probably the son of Robert Patterson and we believe Mary Maughan of Bellingham was his grandmother. Although there are several possibilities, it is our belief that our William was born in Eshott and christened in the parish of Felton on 20 Aug 1778. Eshott is further north in Northumberland County (see research of Mr. Humphery-Smith and map ofthe area ofthe time). It is not known how long the family stayed at Eshott, but according to research the coal mines there played out pretty quickly. William evidently worked as a pitman and followed the coal trade, primarily in and around Newcastle and Gosforth. (There is another William who was born about the same time at Wallsend to a William and Mary Patterson but family tradition says William's father was Robert). At any rate, according to Church records he was manied to J a ne McGregor, daughter of Edward McGregor and Mary Dale, who resided in Tynemouth at the time. William and Jane were manied 24 November 1799 in the All Saints Church in Newcastle. William and J a ne McGregor were the parents of nine children, most of whom were christened at All Saints. (See picture of church.)

1. Mary Ann was born 23 May 1800 in Newcastle on the Tyne and christened 14 July 1800, at All Saints Church. She manied George Gardner and lived at Byker Hill near Newcastle.

2. Robert was born 3 Feb 1802 and christened at All Saints on 11 Apr 1802, but died as a child.

3. Elizabeth was christened at All Saints on 25 Dec 1803. She manied Richard Jobblin. Her death date is unreadable in the records of Joseph Bowman. (See Family Register in appendix.)

4. Jane was born 28 October 1805 and christened 5 January 1806 at All Saints. Jane died at age 15 at Heaton High Pit.

5. Ann was born 9 Mar 1808 and christened 24 Apr 1808 at All Saints. She manied R. Mitcheson, and died at St. Peter's Quay.

6. William was born 4 Feb 1810 and christened 8 Apr 1810 at All Saints. He also died in the mines at Heaton, High Pit at the age of 15.

7. Hannah was born 28 Jan 1812 and christened 29 Mar 1812 at All Saints. Hannah manied Marshal Craswell and died 12 Sep 1864 at Bellingham.

8. E dwa rd Pa t t e r son was born 7 Jul 1814 at Bake Old Engine, near Newcastle. He manied Ma ry Bowman from Janow, Durham County, daughter of William and Dorothy Duty Bowman. Edward emigrated to America on the ship Belle Wood and settled in Bloomington, Bear Lake, Idaho, where he died 19 Nov 1895. Robert Patterson (the second one) was born 12 Dec 1816 and christened 15 Dec 1816 in St. John's Church, Newcastle. Robert was also killed in a mining accident in June of 1837 at Benton Colliery. This made two sons who were lost in mining accidents and one daughter who died at age 15. How difficult their lives must have seemed. The coal miners lived very dangerous lives.

William died 16 Jul 1870 in a mining accident in Alton, Wyoming, and was buried at Bloomington, Bear Lake, Idaho.

2. Robert was born 9 Nov 1839 at Haddrick's Mill also. He was also a collier, but evidently emigrated later and joined the family in Bloomington. He died 27 Sep 1885. He was sealed to Leah Maria Smith.

3. Edward McGregor was born 18 Sep 1839 at Heaton. He was the first of the family to join the church and emigrate to the U.S. He came with his Uncle John Bowman then was called to settle and lived most of his life in Bloomington, Bear Lake, Idaho. Edward M. married sisters, Mary and Sarah Thompson in Salt Lake City and raised a large family. After Mary died, Sarah raised the combined family. They had four sons and ten daughters. Edward M. died 25 Nov 1909 in Bloomington. Edward was a highly respected citizen of Bloomington, who became a veiy good carpenter. He not only built some lovely homes, but he worked on the Paris tabernacle, and made nearly all the coffins for the funerals in the area. He was very active in the church, serving as a bishop many years. Their beautiful old house still stands and is just lovely and well preserved by his descendants.

4. Their fourth child was Jane Dorothy; Jane after her grandmother, Jane McGregor Patterson, Dorothy after her other grandmother, Dorothy Dury Bowman. Jane

was bora at Heaton Pit on the 2nd Aug 1844. She manied Joseph Soulsby, 14 Apr 1862 at Newcastle upon the Tyne. They emigrated to America on the same ship as her parents, then crossed the plains, and eventually settled at Rock Springs, Wyoming, where her husband became superintendent of the mine and where he served as Bishop for many years. She served as Relief Society president during those years. She died at Rock Spring 27 Jan 1914. They left a very large family. J.B. was in touch with his family all ofhis life.

5. Edward and Mary then had some difficulties. Their fifth child, a boy, whom they named Joseph Bowman Patterson was bom 5 Jan 1847 at High Heaton and died on 17 Jul 1849. So, as was the custom in England in those days they named the next son, also a boy, the same name as the deceased child.

6. The next Joseph Bowman was bom 5 Feb 1850 and died the same day at High Heaton.

7. They then moved to Wallsend, where they had another son, bom 5 Mar 1853. They named him Joseph Bowman Patterson, also. This is our Joseph Bowman Patterson. He was baptized in 1863 and came to America when he was eleven years old, where they worked in the mines in Pennsylvania, trying to earn money to cross the plain. He manied Ma rga r et Emily Richey at St. Johns, Arizona 1 Jan 1881. He died 23 Aprl933 at St. Johns, Arizona. His story is contained in this book.

8. Mary, their second daughter was named after her mother. She was bom 21 Oct 1855 at Brigsf s Main, Little Benton. Northumberland, England. She also emigrated as a child with her family. She later manied Henry Dustin and had a little daughter. Whether she died in childbirth we are not sure, but she is buried in St. Johns, Arizona. Mary's parents took the baby to raise, but this little girl died young and is buried in Bloomington near her grandparents.

9. The ninth child and sixth son of Edward and Mary was John Thomas, called John T. He was bom 9 Jul 1869 at Seaton Burn, Weetslade, Northumberland County, England. He was very close to his brother Joseph Bowman and they went everywhere together. He married (1st) Elenor Jane Richey (his first sweetheart and a sister to Margaret Emily) on 1 Feb 1882 in St. Johns, Arizona. After her death he manied (2nd) Elizabeth J. Rencher, then after her death, (3rd (Lillian Boyd, a nurse who cared for him until his death 23 May 1942 in St. Johns. (John T and Elenor are the grandparents of Marguerite Jones Heap and Phyllis Jones Curtis.)

Father: Thomas Ward, Mother: Sarah Hogg?

Birth:	Aug. 18, 1819 Measham Leicestershire, England
Death:	Mar. 29, 1893 Bloomington Bear Lake County Idaho, USA
Father: William Hogg, Mother: Mary Bouckley.

John Ward [Parents] was born on 19 Dec 1816 in Moira, Ashley, Leistershire, England. He died on 30 Sep 1884 in Bloomington, Bear Lake, Idaho. He married Emma Hogg on 7 May 1838 in A, England.

Emma Hogg [Parents] was born on 18 Aug 1819 in Measham, Derby, England. She died on 29 Mar 1893 in Bloomington, Bear Lake, Idaho. She married John Ward on 7 May 1838 in A, England.

Here is some information I found from the Thornock family history:

The Ward family and other close associates were also joining the church during 1844 and 1845. Elder E. J. Bowers baptized Hannah Ward on June 22, 1844 and John Ward (Sen.) July 31, 1844. Elder E. H. Platts baptized Emma Hogg Ward on November 19, 1844 and Elder E. C. Maehin baptized her husband, John Ward (Jr.) on February 18, 1845.

The newly converted families were actively involved in the small “Mormon” branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter—day Saints in Whitwick. The Ward and Thornock children were playmates. Twenty years later the Ward and Thornock families were reunited in Utah and Idaho in America and the two oldest Thornock sons married daughters of John and Emma Hogg Ward and both families helped in colonizing the Bear Lake Valley....

The Ward Family were especially close friends and the children had been playmates since childhood and would be sorely missed. In later Chapters in this book the Ward and Thornock families are reunited in Utah ten years later, in 1864, and the two older Thornock sons married two Ward daughters.

....

The vacant lots in 1871 were largely in the northwest part of Bloomington. Just west of the Ward home built in 1867 and across the street were two vacant lots. The Thornock family selected this location. It was one block north of the home John and Emma had started to build in 1865. There would be no homes between them, their lots would only be separated by a street. Matthew and Ann selected a 4-acre tract three blocks southwest of John and Emma’s. The Thornock and Ward families were truly happy to be such close neighbors. This relationship began many years before in England. Now they would continue to rear their families together in America.

....

Their good friends, John and Emma Hogg Ward had moved to Bloomington four years before, in 1867, and built their home on the lot just across the street to the east. They were close neighbors for the rest of their lives, a relationship which began in Whitwick, England when both couples were newly weds.

....

Ann lived in widowhood 26-1/2 years surrounded by the large Thornock family, relatives and friends. Her special and close friend and next door neighbor, Emma Hogg Ward, had lost her husband only three months before John died. These two women had become acquainted in Whitwick, England and the Ward and Thornock families had for ten years (1844—54) been active members in the Whitwick Branch of the Church. For the most recent 20 years the two families were closely associated in Farmington and Bountiful, Utah and in Bloomington, Idaho. Ann’s two oldest sons had married Emma’s two daughters and both large Thornock and Ward families surrounded these two widows as long as they lived.

This is an excerpt from a book called "Progressive men of Bannock, Bear Lake, Bingham, Fremont and Oneida counties" by A. W. Bowen & Co.

"Thomas Ward, of Bloomington, Bear Lake county, was born in 1838 at Moira, Leicestershire, England, a son of John and Emma (Hogg) Ward. His parents were natives of England and were married in 1837. The father was a collier and worked in the mines in his native land until, in 1864, they came to the United States at the son's request, and located at Bountiful, Utah. Years later they removed to the neighborhood of Bloomington, Idaho, and there lived on a farm until, in the fullness of time, the end came, and they were laid to rest amid the pleasant surroundings of their new home. During his life the father was prominent in the work of the Mormon church, filling several offices of importance and responsibility in its councils, both in England and in this country. John Ward, the great-grandfather of Thomas, was a soldier in the Crimean war and assisted at the siege and was present at the surrender of Sebastopol.

Thomas Ward was educated in the schools of Whitwick, Leicestershire, England. and in 1861, he came to the United States, proceeding at once to Salt Lake City and there taking part in the work of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, with which he had been connected from his fourteenth year, and which he had earlier served as a priest. He passed one winter in the Mormon metropolis and worked on the President John Theatre, which was then in building. In the spring he hired to Samuel Orms and went to Tooele, Utah, and worked at the charcoal business there in Rush Valley.

He remained in that neighborhood until 1863, and, in the autumn of that year, returned to Bountiful and thereafter engaged in limeburning at Hot Springs until 1866. He then came to Bear Lake county, and, locating at Bloomington, turned his attention to farming and limeburning, being the pioneer worker in the valley in the latter industry. In connection with these pursuits he raised stock, and he pushed all his business operations vigorously. He has been until recently engaged sedulously in church work, presiding over the sixth corps of the Seventies, but by reason of failing health he is now debarred from doing active ministerial work among the people. In politics Mr. Ward has been an active and energetic Republican, being for years the president of the Republican club of Bloomington, and also a member of the county central committee of his party.

Mr. Ward was married in 1869, in Utah, to Miss Ann Reese, a native of Wales and a daughter of Thomas and Margaret Reese, of that country, where they passed their entire lives as their forefathers in both lines of ancestry had done for many generations. Mrs. Ward died in Bloomington, in 1892, leaving eight children, all of whom are living. They are Margaret A., Mary, Thomas R., Emma Elizabeth, John M., George Henry, Abram and Peter Rastus. Mr. Ward contracted a second marriage in November 1898, being united on this occasion with Mrs. Harriet (Welker) Thompson, a daughter of Jacob and Angelina (Lesh) Welker, natives of Nauvoo, Ill., and she was born at North Willard, Box Elder county, Utah."

She married Dee Fred Houston Sr. on October 29, 1941 in the Salt Lake Temple. He preceded her in death. Dort (her Bear Lake nickname) never lost her love for Bear Lake, Idaho where she grew up and was her father's helper on the farm. She grew up with 186 first cousins who stayed close until their deaths. She attended BYU, taught school in Bloomington, and then moved to Panguitch as a teacher. She graduated from BYU then continued her education almost yearly, but enrolled only in those classes which interested her. Dorothy loved teaching all children, but especially teaching her family of boys in Cub Scouts, Scouts, 4-H, or any of the activities in which they were interested. She was even called by her bishop to be the North Ward Scout Master for a short period of time. All her boys were Eagle Scouts and most of her grandsons and many Panguitch boys received their Eagles through her influence. She enjoyed painting ceramics and later pictures, playing the piano for herself or her class only and quilting. Her interests were always with young people. She was involved in Young Women's on the LDS Ward or Stake level for many years. She spent years as a Merit Badge Counselor, and doing road shows. When Dot (nickname in Panguitch) moved to Panguitch, she adopted Garfield County as her home. She was an avid historian who loved the people and stories of the area. As a member of Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and Business and Professional Women she dedicated a great deal of time to community work. While helping in her husband's mercantile, she became acquainted with most of the people of Garfield County and was a friend to all. She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who will remember her as a very, very special Grandma. She is survived by her sons John Ward (Diane) Houston, Dee Fred (Janet) Houston Jr., James Frank (Jeri Lu) Houston III, David George (Carol) Houston; nineteen grandchildren; thirty-nine great-grandchildren.
