Angie,
This is a portrait of Aaron. It hung in Grandfather Alcock's Bedroom.
Grandpa was less than one year old when my family left for Louisiana.
Apparently this was the only picture they brought of any Iowa Sullivan
folks.
I gave Larry a copy a few years ago, when we lived near him.

Discrepancy: Logan County, Ohio as place of birth according to info. in Patricia Olson's family tree book. Photo copy of Family Group Record said birth was Champaign Co., Ohio Obituary copied from old paper: "Aaron Sullivan was born in Champaign county, February 21, 1811 where his boyhood days were spent. He was married June 20, 1837 to Jane Lippincott and lived here a few years, where three of their children were born: they moved to Kendall County, settled on a farm in Coffin Grove township, Delaware County when there were but a few families in the township. Here he lived for many years, raised his family, consisting of six boys and three girls, all of who survive but one, the eldest girl, Mrs. O. Wellman. His sainted wife died September 14, 1886. From an obituary written at the time of her death we quote the following: 'She led such an unselfish Christian life that her loss will be keenly felt, having reared a large family, all of whom are living, six sons and three daughters, many of whom gathered around her couch in her last illness to comfort and support her, she being the first of the number to be called hense.' Brother Sullivan was converted about the year 1856 baptized by Reverend Bixby, united with the Wesleyan Methodist church of Masonville, and by voice and means has been a strong supporter of the reform principles of our Zion Not only did the early settlers of the new country find a resting place and refreshments in their hospitable home, but our brethren have found an open door and hearty welcome into his home to refresh themselves when weary. Quarterly meetings and conference times his home was always thronged. Since the death of Sister Sullivan, Father Sullivan has made his home at John Latimer's, his son-in-law, where he was kindly cared for by Jennie, his daughter. They lived in Manchester, Iowa. Being feeble in health and quite deaf he has not enjoyed church privileges of late. His death was caused by old age and general debility. Though feeble for years, his lamp of life went out after but a few hours of pain and struggle Saturday, March 17, 1894 at 5 p.m. being able to ride out the day previous to his death. The funeral service was held in the Wesleyan Methodist church of Masonville. Despite the inclement of weather a large congregation of friends and relatives gathered to pay the last debt of respect to a loved one. The writer (Meaning Reverend E.R. Dodd) preached in the liberty of the Spirit from Hebrews 11:4, to an interested audience." written by E.R.Dodd

Aaron Sullivan, born Champaign Co., Ohio, Feb 21, 1811: died March 17, 1893 at Manchester, Iowa. Aaron Sullivan came to LaSalle County, Illinois, Nov 1, 1835. He crossed the Mississippi river, Nov. 23,1844, at Lyons, Iowa, and in the same year made permanent settlement at that time on the list of 24 families in Delaware County, Iowa and one of the four families listed in Coffin's Grove Township. He married Jane Lippincott on June 20, 1832; she was born in Champaign County, Ohio, Nov 23, 1844 where he was the fourth settler, having been preceded by Coffin, Baker, and Hiram Minkler. Jane Lippincott Sullivan died Sept. 14, 1886 at Masonville Iowa. Brother Sullivan was converted about 1856 and baptized by Reverend Bixby as a Wesleyan Methodist, being one of the founders of it. Jane Lippincott had a brother, Jackson Lippincott. Their father was Samual B. Lippincott who came from Pennsylvania.

Seven oldest children are also married. All live in Delaware County with the
exception of Andrew J., who lives in the Indian Territory. Mr. Aaron Sullivan's principal
business is stock raising; He votes the Republican ticket; He crossed the Mississippi
River, November 3, 1844 at Lyons Iowa, and in the same year made a permanent
settlement where he now lives; at that time there was but 24 families in Delaware County,
Ia. and but four families in Coffins Grove township.

Manchester, Press of March 22, 1894 Mr. Aaron Sullivan, an old and much
respected citizen of this county, died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Jennie Latimer,
in this city, Saturday, March 17, at 5 o'clock p.m., and was buried in the Coffin's Grove
cemetery, near Masonville, Tuesday, the 20th, under the auspices of the church of his
choice. The funeral was largely attended by neighbors and friends. Mr. Sullivan was born
in Champaign county, Ohio, Feb. 21,1811. He was married to Jane Lippincott, June 20,
1837. They moved to Iowa, Nov. 23,1844, and settled in Coffin's Grove township
Delaware county when there were but four families in the township and few in the county.
He was a farmer and stock raiser. He settled on the farm in the western part of Coffins,
grove, where he lived for many years and raised his family, consisting of six boys and three
girls, of whom all survive him but one, the eldest daughter, Mary Wellman. His wife died in
September 1886. In politics he was a republican, a man of strong convictions, and when
he espoused a cause he did it with his whole soul. He was one of the founders of the
Wesleyan Methodist church at Masonville, in the township where he settled, and was a
consistent member and regular attendant at church. His family are pretty well scattered.
The youngest daughter, Jennie Latimer lives in Manchester, with whom he made his home
after his wife died. The second youngest son, Henry F., lives near Masonville and A. R.
lives in Dell Rapids, South Dakota, A. J. lives in southern Kansas at Coffeyville. All those
were present at his funeral services. I. N. and S. P. lives in Idaho, L. M. in California and
Sarah E. Alcock in Louisiana.

Census, Delaware County, Coffins Grove Township, page 248 JANE: Manchester Press
of Sept. 17,1886 Died: Sullivan At Masonville, September l4, l886, Mrs. Jane Sullivan, in
her 67th year. Jane Lippincott Sullivan wife of Aaron Sullivan, of Masonville, died on ;he
morning of the 14th of September, 1886, at the residence of her son-in-law, Oscar
Wellman. The deceased was born November 7, 1819. She leaves a husband and nine
children to mourn her loss. As is well known to many residents of our county, Mr. and
Mrs. Sullivan came to Iowa in 1844, and endured the many privations of a pioneer life,
and as all friends and neighbors can testify who were privileged to be entertained under
their humble, but hospitable roof, there was never a more hearty welcome offered, than
was always ready for their guests. Auntie Sullivan, as she was familiarly known to the
younger generations, had a smile for all she met, and possessed of a very hopeful, cheerful
disposition, and great simplicity of character, wedded to a generous loving heart, it was
always a pleasure to meet her. She led such an unselfish Christian life, that her loss will be
keenly felt, having reared a large family all of whom are living, six sons and three
daughters, many of whom gathered around her couch in her last illness for comfort and
support her, she being the first of the number to be called hence. We as neighbors and
friends, offer to her lone companion our warmest sympathy in his great bereavement, at
the time of life when, more than any other he feels the lack of strength to bear up under
this heavy affliction. May he have the faith ever exercised by his devoted wife, and find
strength to buoy him up till his appointed time comes, when he shall say "I have finished
my course." is the hope of his friends, and may the example of a hopeful, trustful mother,
be a guide and comfort to children left without a mother's love.

AARON SULLIVAN; Farmer; Sec 28, P.O. Masonville, Ia.

Seven oldest children are also married. All live in Delaware County with the
exception of Andrew J., who lives in the Indian Territory. Mr. Aaron Sullivan's principal
business is stock raising; He votes the Republican ticket; He crossed the Mississippi
River, November 3, 1844 at Lyons Iowa, and in the same year made a permanent
settlement where he now lives; at that time there was but 24 families in Delaware County,
Ia. and but four families in Coffins Grove township.

Manchester, Press of March 22, 1894 Mr. Aaron Sullivan, an old and much
respected citizen of this county, died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Jennie Latimer,
in this city, Saturday, March 17, at 5 o'clock p.m., and was buried in the Coffin's Grove
cemetery, near Masonville, Tuesday, the 20th, under the auspices of the church of his
choice. The funeral was largely attended by neighbors and friends. Mr. Sullivan was born
in Champaign county, Ohio, Feb. 21,1811. He was married to Jane Lippincott, June 20,
1837. They moved to Iowa, Nov. 23,1844, and settled in Coffin's Grove township
Delaware county when there were but four families in the township and few in the county.
He was a farmer and stock raiser. He settled on the farm in the western part of Coffins,
grove, where he lived for many years and raised his family, consisting of six boys and three
girls, of whom all survive him but one, the eldest daughter, Mary Wellman. His wife died in
September 1886. In politics he was a republican, a man of strong convictions, and when
he espoused a cause he did it with his whole soul. He was one of the founders of the
Wesleyan Methodist church at Masonville, in the township where he settled, and was a
consistent member and regular attendant at church. His family are pretty well scattered.
The youngest daughter, Jennie Latimer lives in Manchester, with whom he made his home
after his wife died. The second youngest son, Henry F., lives near Masonville and A. R.
lives in Dell Rapids, South Dakota, A. J. lives in southern Kansas at Coffeyville. All those
were present at his funeral services. I. N. and S. P. lives in Idaho, L. M. in California and
Sarah E. Alcock in Louisiana.

of Sept. 17,1886 Died: Sullivan At Masonville, September l4, l886, Mrs. Jane Sullivan, in
her 67th year. Jane Lippincott Sullivan wife of Aaron Sullivan, of Masonville, died on ;he
morning of the 14th of September, 1886, at the residence of her son-in-law, Oscar
Wellman. The deceased was born November 7, 1819. She leaves a husband and nine
children to mourn her loss. As is well known to many residents of our county, Mr. and
Mrs. Sullivan came to Iowa in 1844, and endured the many privations of a pioneer life,
and as all friends and neighbors can testify who were privileged to be entertained under
their humble, but hospitable roof, there was never a more hearty welcome offered, than
was always ready for their guests. Auntie Sullivan, as she was familiarly known to the
younger generations, had a smile for all she met, and possessed of a very hopeful, cheerful
disposition, and great simplicity of character, wedded to a generous loving heart, it was
always a pleasure to meet her. She led such an unselfish Christian life, that her loss will be
keenly felt, having reared a large family all of whom are living, six sons and three
daughters, many of whom gathered around her couch in her last illness for comfort and
support her, she being the first of the number to be called hence. We as neighbors and
friends, offer to her lone companion our warmest sympathy in his great bereavement, at
the time of life when, more than any other he feels the lack of strength to bear up under
this heavy affliction. May he have the faith ever exercised by his devoted wife, and find
strength to buoy him up till his appointed time comes, when he shall say "I have finished
my course." is the hope of his friends, and may the example of a hopeful, trustful mother,
be a guide and comfort to children left without a mother's love.

Generation No. 5

24. John Rathbun, born December 23, 1693 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island; died 1752 in Exeter, Washington, Rhode Island. He was the son of 48. John Rathbun and 49. Anna Dodge. He married 25. Alice Unknown 1721 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island.
25. Alice Unknown, died Aft. 1761.

Notes for John Rathbun:

In 1723, John was left from his parents all their housing and land on Block Island. He sold this land in 1725 and moved to the mainland. He was admitted a freeman of North Kingstown in May of 1732. He was called "John Rathbun of Nesquaheague". His will was written January 18, 1752 and probated in Exeter, Rhode Island on March 10, 1752.

New data in 1984 changed the mother of John's children. John D. Bowen, a descendant, found the new information in land records in early Exeter, Rhode Island (the North Kingstown, Rhode Island). By 1731, land records indicates the wife of John as Alice. Patience, no doubt, had died by that time leaving a son, Joshua. In the will of John Fish (father of Patience) he left fifty pounds to "my grandson Joshua Rathbun, son of my daughter Patience, deceased." Thus, Patience is now listed as the mother of only Joshua who died prior to 1741 when John had a son named Joshua.

Generation No. 6

48. John Rathbun, born 1655 in Dorchester, Suffolk, Massachusetts; died Bef. March 01, 1722/23 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island. He was the son of 96. John Rathbun and 97. Margaret Acres. He married 49. Anna Dodge November 11, 1686 in Rochester (now North Kingstown), Washington, Rhode Island.
49. Anna Dodge, died Aft. October 25, 1725 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island.

Notes for John Rathbun:

He moved to Block Island as a child with his parents. His marriage is his first wife is took place on Block Island but the name of his wife is legible in the records. John was admitted a freeman on in May of 1684 and was on the freeman list as late as May 5, 1696. He represented New Shoreham in the Rhode Island General Assembly serving as late as 1696. On April 1717 he testified in court in relation to the difficulties arising from the French privateers who were operating off the coast of Rhode Island. On December 13, 1698, Betsey, the daughter of "Great James" and his wife, Jane, was bound to John as an indentured servant for eighteen years. He was mentioned in a deed of another as early as January 29, 1708 in Westerly, Rhode Island. John, of Block Island, bought land from the Colony agents in Westerly, Rhode Island on September 29, 1708.

After the death of his first wife, he appears that John had an affair with his nineteen year old cousin, Margary Acres. When Margary married Daniel Tosh in 1685, Margary already had a six month old son, Acres Tosh. In 1717, a Rhode Island court upheld a claim that Acres Tosh was illegally in possession of Tosh property on the grounds that he was Margary's illegitimate son by John Rathbun. The claimant, Penelope Tosh Hollaway, produced a witness, Sarah Potter, who testified she had seen Acres' mother "Abed with John Rathbun"

His will is on file in New Shoreham, Rhode Island. He mentions his wife, Anne; his eldest son Jonathan who had his portion; John; Benjamin; Nathaniel; and Thomas; (the last five under 21) and daughters, Mercy, who has had her portion at marriage and Ann who had received L30. The witnesses to the will were Nath' Ray, Mary Ray, Anne Willson and Simon Ray 2nd. The will was written on May 8, 1720 and probated on March 9, 1722/3.

Notes for Anna Dodge:

It is not known if Anna was a daughter of Tristram Dodge of Block Island. There is no official record that places her as his daughter. However, early publications in both the Dodge and Rathbun family place Anna as the daughter of Tristram. The Rathbone Genealogy does list her as the daughter of Tristram. The Dodge Genealogy also places her there. There is much confusion as in both genealogies the compilers name two daughters of Tristram as wives of Rathbuns. That could not be possible as you would have had an aunt married to her nephew. Frank Rathbun did establish that the wife of John Rathbun, the immigrant, was Margaret Acres not Margaret Dodge.

Notes for Jonathan Rathbun:

Jonathan and his bride received from his father as a wedding present 100 pounds. The following year they moved to New Salem Parish, Colchester, Connecticut where on January 28, 1713 he purchased 100 acres of land from John Morton. In his will, he mentioned "three weak children" names unknown.

Jonathan left instructions in his will to free four slaves, Jane and her three sons. The sons were Abraham who took the name Abraham Freeman; Jacob who also took the Freeman name and Ezra who took the Rathbun name. Therefore, I placed Erza into the family tree at this time.

Generation No. 7

96. John Rathbun, born March 1629/30 in Prescott Parrish, County Lancashire, England; died Bef. October 06, 1702 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island. He married 97. Margaret Acres Abt. 1654 in County Lancashire, England.
97. Margaret Acres, born September 1633 in Prescott Parrish, County Lancashire, England; died Aft. September 15, 1716 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island. She was the daughter of 194. Thomas Acres and 195. Margery Houghton.

Notes for John Rathbun:
John Rathbone, was baptized 8 March 1629/30, at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County, Lancashire, England. He was the second son and the third child of Thomas and Alice Rathbone. Thomas, his father, was a shoemaker in the hamlet of Hough Green in Ditton Township, about two miles from Farnworth Chapel. When Thomas died, his estate inventory mentioned a shop containing "shoes, leather and things belonging to a shoemaker." His will mentioned his "new house" and a "garden and stockyard" and "two cows, one heifer, one little calf and one mare." The inventory also included a corn car, a vegatable cart, a plow, plow parts, a harrow and extra wheels and rims. His total assets were 29 pounds shillings and two pence. The family were Anglicans.

John Rathbun was raised in Ditton, County Lancashire in a family of six children. He married in the area to Margaret Acres, the daughter of Thomas Acres, a neighbors of the Rathbones. It would appear that after being left a small sum of money from his father's estate in 1654 he left England with his bride and settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts where others from County Lancashire had settled. His name first appeared in the American records when he was listed among 12 Massachusetts men who met at the Roxbury home of Dr. John Alcock to consider the purchase of Block Island, a small island twelve miles off the coast of Rhode Island. In 1658, the possession of Block Island was transferred from the Colony of Massachusetts to private individuals with its sale to Richard Bellingham, Daniel Dennison, John Endicott and William Hawthore. They in turn made the last transfer of land as a whole to the company of twelve men who met at Dr. Alcock's. A second meeting was held where the number of individuals had grown to sixteen. Drawings were held to assign each of the proprietors a "great lot" in both the northern and southern sections of the land. John, less affluent than some of the others pooled his funds with Edward Vorse, another native of County Lancashire and brought half shares. Their land in the southern section lay along the southeastern coast and their land in the north consisted of a lot. Totally, they had 420 acres. Years later it was discovered that a mistake was made in the original survey. In 1671, the lawyers for the estate of Dr. Alcock granted John Rathbun an additional 60 acres "what land shall be found wantinge...in some convenient place in the commonland". He was given land near the center of the island stretching from near where the center of town is today to the ocean east of town. In October of 1680, he made his last payment of his share of the original purchase.

According to the New Shoreham town books, a barque was built to transport the cattle to the island. A shallop was built by Samuel Deering and Simon Ray who no doubt charged the others for the transportation to the island. The families met in Taunton for the trip to New Shoreham in April 1661.

John was listed as a freeman of New Shoreham in 1664. He represented New Shoreham in the Rhode Island General Assembly for five years. In 1685, he was a member of the Crown Party which supported King James' order vacating the Rhode Island colonial charter. He signed with his mark "JR". That same year, King James was overthrown during the Glorious Revolution and the Crown Party was out of favor in Rhode Island.

It appears that during his political career he kept a home on the mainland in Newport. In 1674, he was living in Hammersmith, a section of Newport. He returned to Block Island about 1685. In 1702 he was listed as a proprietor of the town wharf in Newport.

Block Island was invaded by a French privateer in July of 1698. The invaders asked some of the islanders who had money and they directed them to John Rathbun. At the Rathbun home, the invaders seized John, Jr. who they tied, stripped to the wait and whipped.

John's will dated February 12, 1702 at Block Island described him a a "yeoman". Although listed of Block Island, the inventory of his estate indicates he considered Newport his principal home. He conducted some sort of business there as his will referred to a "shop" there. His will was probated October 16, 1702. He named his wife, Margaret; sons John, William, Joseph, Samuel and Thomas; daughters Sarah, Margaret and Elizabeth and grandchildren John son of John and John son of Willliam. The will was witnessed by James Welch and Roger Dickens (Book 1 Page 285). His widow survived him at least fourteen years as in March of 1716 as "widow and relict of John Rathbun, deceased" she made a deposition on Block Island regarding properties.

John was baptized in the Anglican church in England. He may have been a Quaker in Newport as his son's birth is registered in Quaker records there.

He was a slave owner as he left a slave to his son, Thomas, at his death.

ENGLISH LINEAGE

The Rathbone Genealogy compiled by John C. Cooley was published in 1898. For many years, family historians have accepted Cooley's version of the family's earliest generations. However, by the 1940's many found that they could not prove what Cooley had stated in his genealogy. Much research was done most by Frank H. Rathbun of Fairfax, Virginia. He established the current thinking on the early records of the family as we know it today in his publication from 1981 to 1996 of the Rathbun Rathbone Rathburn Family Historian.

The English lineage of John Rathbun, the immigrant is the following:

1) Thomas Rathbone, the shoemaker of Hough Green, the father of John Rathbun, the immigrant, was baptized 9 January 1595/96 at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County Lancashire, the son of Thomas and Grace (Coppowe) Rathbone. He died February 1653/54 in Ditton, County Lancashire, England. He had married a widow, Mrs. Alice Chidwell, at Farnworth Chapel on 13 April 1616

2) Thomas Rathbone was baptized 28 December 1566 at Farnworth Chapel, Prescott, County Lancashire, England and died there 7 November 1623. He married 13 October 1588 at Farnworth Chapel to Grace Coppowe, the daughter of John Coppowe. Thomas was named for a brother who had died young.

3) William Rathbone was about 1538 and June 1587 in Ditton, Prescott, County Lancashire, England. The name of his first wife and the father of Thomas is unknown. William was buried at "William Rathbone of Ditton" on 8 June 1587.

This lineage can be found in the appendix.

vii. Elizabeth Rathbun, born 1670 in New Shoreham, Newport, Rhode Island; died Aft. August 14, 1747 in Tiverton, Bristol, Rhode Island; married Nicholas Mosher August 12, 1687; born 1666; died August 14, 1747 in Tiverton, Bristol, Rhode Island.

Notes for Nicholas Mosher:

The Mosher Genealogy does not have Elizabeth Rathbun as the wife of Nicholas Mosher. Ours is only secondary proof. First is the connection between the Rathbun and Mosher family to begin with. John Rathbun did not list the married names of his daughters in his will. Elizabeth was alive in 1702 when his will was written. The cattle ear marks of Elizabeth Rathbun and Nicholas Mosher are "combined". What I mean is that Elizabeth's mark is such that if she did marry Nicholas, Nicholas just added some to her mark to get his mark. Easy to take over her stock with his new mark!

Nicholas was in Dartmouth as late as 1713 and in Tiverton as early as 1728. His will dated March 11, 1747 names his wife; sons Hugh, Joseph, Thomas and Nicholas; daughters Mary Allen, Elizabeth Tripp, Mercy Shreve, Rebeckah Willcocks and Margaret Tabor and granddaughter Sarah Pope.

In completing the first five generations of the family of John Rathbone all branches, I was just entered the children of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Rathbone) Mosher.

Notes for Samuel Rathbun:

Samuel was admitted a freeman on January 2, 1693. He was elected a constable in 1695 and again in 1708. IN 1731, he was a depute warden and town treasurer. In 1743 he again was town treasurer and in 1748 town clerk. In 1740, he signed a petition asking that armed men be sent to Block Island to help to resist an anticipated French Spanish invasion.

36. Robert Owens

R. Lanier Britsch, BYU Studies, Vol. 12, No. 3, p.269
On 29 April a conference was held that was intended for all the members in Calcutta, but there were only four people present who were not missionaries. The pertinent business at hand was to decide who would lead the mission and who would be assigned to the various parts of India. Natanial Vary Jones was selected as president of the mission and president of the Calcutta Branch. The remaining elders were assigned as follows: Amos Milton Musser was to remain in Calcutta; Truman Leonard and Samuel Amos Woolley were to go to Chinsura, a city thirty miles north from Calcutta; William Fotheringham and William F. Carter were assigned to Dinapore, 290 miles northwest from Calcutta; and Richard Ballantyne, Robert Skelton, and Robert Owens were to sail south to the city of Madras. The four brethren who had been sent to Siam found that they could not obtain passage during the next few months and as a result agreed that Elam Luddington and Levi Savage should stay in Calcutta and look for a way to Burma and then to Siam; and Chauncey Walker West and Benjamin F. Dewey were to go to Ceylon until fall, when they expected to obtain passage. They had originally planned to go by way of Burma, but that way was not open because of the second Anglo-Burmese War.24

R. Lanier Britsch, BYU Studies, Vol. 12, No. 3, p.270
Ballantyne and Skelton, who had found it necessary to go to Madras without Robert Owens, were caught in the same storm, and their ship nearly sank. In all, the elders experienced six storms and other mishaps at sea that were severe enough to cause them fear for their lives. Fortunately, however, no missionaries were lost at sea.

Andrew Jenson, Church Chronology, April 29, 1853 (Friday)
At a conference of American Elders held at Calcutta, Hindostan, Nathaniel V. Jones was sustained as president of the East India mission; Richard Ballantyne, Robert Skelton and Robert Owens were appointed to labor in Madras; Wm. F. Carter and Wm. Fotheringham in Dinaghpore; Truman Leonard and Samuel A. Woolley in Chinsurah, and Nathaniel V. Jones and A. Milton Musser in Calcutta.

Hi Angie,
William Marshall II is the second husband of Robert Owens' second wife Martha Allen.
Margaret Marshall is the daughter of Robert Owens and Martha Allen. She married 1st James Burnett Clark then married William Marshall II as a plural wife (sister wife to with her mother).
D. Margaret Marshall is the daughter of Margaret Owens Clark Marshall and William Marshall II. Margaret & William also had a son Jesse Marshall in 1883.
E. Martha Clark & H. William Clark are children of Margaret and James Clark.
William Owens is the blind son (my great grandfather) of Robert Owens and Martha Allen. The post office later assigned him the letter Q to designate him from other William Owens. He went by William Q Owens as an adult.
Rial is the youngest son (twin) of Robert Owens and Martha Allen.
Martha Allen Owens Marshall is the 57 year old listed. William Marshall II and Martha Allen had no children together. On her gravestone her name is recorded: Martha Owens.
To confuse things more (if that is possible) Martha's niece, Martha Permelia Allen married William Marshall III. He is the son of William Marshall II and his first wife Francis Bridger.
That is more than you asked for!!
Love, Barbara

Dear Angie,
Robert T(homas) Owens is not our ancestor. He was born in Wales and was married to a Margaret who was also born in Wales. They are buried in Utah (Parowan if I remember right). I did a double take when I found their grave stones.
Our Robert Owens was born about the same time as the Robert T. but in Delaware and buried in Los Angeles, California. Again, if I remember correctly, Robert T. was born in 1805.

Dear Angie: Received all of the emails ref: Sarah Owens and Joseph Smith and families, also the email of the Elder in California. Makes a person curious as to where he fits in the family. He would have to be a cousin. Thank you for the information. I have not had an opportunity to read all of it as yet, but what I have read is very interesting. Did I ever send you the copy of the pictures that I have of Robert Owens and Sarah Owens Smith (seperate pictures)? If not let me know & I will send them. I have been concentrating on the Randall line for the past few months. I think I have found the ancestry back to the French connection, but still have to verify it. Hope all is well with everyone. Take care, Merla

The Globalization of the Church Educational System
Elder Joe J. Christensen, San Diego Temple president, emeritus First Quorum of Seventy,
and former Church Education System associate commissioner
19 August 2001

The seriousness with which the Brethren have taken that responsibility to carry
the gospel to all the world is evidenced by so many of the early mission calls to elders to
leave their families and go into the far reaches of the earth. Among my own family’s
ancestors, Robert Owens, a great-great-grandfather, marched with the Mormon Battalion,
and, when released from his military obligation in San Diego, California, made his way
to the Salt Lake Valley, where he was reunited with his wife and the surviving children—
three of the others his wife Catherine had buried at Winter Quarters.
Within just a few years, he experienced one of those calls over the pulpit in the morning
session of a general conference in 1852. He was called again to leave his family—to go
on a mission to India and Australia, with the assurance that the announced missions were
“generally, not to be very long ones; probably from three to seven years will be as long as
any man will be absent from his family.”10 To respond to such calls required great faith
because you can't get much farther away from home than that!

Dear Angie and Cheryl,
We just returned home from a wonderful vacation in Utah and Nevada to visit family. A secondary goal was to visit and photograph family gravestones in Utah. While at the Parowan Cemetery I found a very interesting and amazing double grave stone. It was for Thomas Robert Owens born June 4, 18?0 in Glenmorgan,Wales. He was married to Margaret Evans Owens who was also born in Wales. The stone is hard to read in the photograph but if you think this might be your family I will enlarge it so I can make it out. The stone gives their dates and places in Wales they were born. Our Robert Owens married a Martha Evans Owens and also lived for a while in Parowan, but the T. Robert Owens and Margaret Allen is not our family. Our Robert was born in Delaware and Martha Allen was born in Kentucky. Our Robert died and is buried in Los Angeles. Martha is buried in Smithfield, Utah. Our Robert and Martha had a daughter named Margaret. The names were so similar I kept wondering if they were related but not being contemporaries and coming from Wales. We also went to the Daughters of Pioneers (DUP) museum in Salt Lake City. In the photo files there was a T. Robert Owens. Must be the same family but not our line. If this is your family you will want to know there were other family members related to this T. Robert Owens in the Parowan Cemetery. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Sincerely, Barbara

Hello Angie
I made a couple errors yesterday as I wasn't on my home computer. George's middle name is William and Brigham is another child of Robert and Catherine's.
Elmer Fredrick was born in 1907 not 1908
Marlyn Fredrick (Fred) was born 19 Jan 1938 d. 16 Jan 1991 m. Sharon Anderson 18 Jun 1961
Burton Eldean (Burt) b. 23 Mat 1939 d. 1983
Elmer McNamara b.1 Nov 1936 d. 30 Jun 1996 m. Lillian (Lilly) ?? (her last name starts with an S and is not Baker).
Thanks and sorry for the misinformation the first time. Serves me right for trying to do that from the top of my head.

Angie,

I tried to call you last evening, but you were not home. I was just going to hit base. Well email works also, then a person can pick up on it when they have time. Sometimes I get busy and miss a day on the computer. My husband's health is not great, he has good days and bad days.

I believe I may have sent you the sheet I wrote up on Nephi's Court info from Salt Lake. If so, I found a note that I had written after the info to the effect that Robert was on a mission at that time. Needless to say, I had my years mixed up in my head 1852 instead of 1862. Robert was of course living in Las Angeles at the time Nephi got into trouble. I just wanted to correct this information

I don't know where my head was at that time, guess that I was researching too many things at the same time.

I ran across a newspaper article the other day about the shooting of Arthur Sullivan. If you don't have a copy and would like one let me know.

Take care, and keep in touch

Love,
Your cousin, Merla

Heart Throbs of the West: Volume 10
The Move South
John Halleft -- Frightful Accident

William and Joseph Owens.--Robert Owens and his wife joined the church in Ohio in 1844, and
moved to Nauvoo. When the United States called for volunteers, Robert accepted the call and went
with his brothers in the Mormon Battalion to California, while his wife drove her ox team to Utah and
brought her five children. When Robert came home in 1850, he met and married a second wife,
Martha Allen, who had come to Utah with her brother. They had five children, two girls and three
boys. Their first son, Willlain, was born in Salt Lake City, February 6, 1853. He was blind at birth.
Five years later, two more boys, Rial and Joseph were born, and one of these, Joseph, was also blind.

These two blind boys never went to school, but grew up at home together. From early childhood
William had a strong desire to investigate all machinery from threshing machines to old clocks and
watches. When he was fourteen years old he left home with his brother, Joseph, to make their own
way. They traveled by foot and after the railroad came they walked the rails from town to town; Joseph
selling books, while William mended watches and clocks and tuned pianos.

When William, was a man, he wanted to find a doctor to help him gain his sight. This desire took him to England, where he lived with the ,family of Joseph Edgley. The oldest daughter, Mary Ann, was his guide while in London. William never found any help for his eyes, so the time came to go home. Knowing the desires of the Edgley family to come to Utah, William offered to pay the passage for two members, so Mary Ann and her father, Joseph, came with him. Soon after on September 26, 1888, William and Mary Ann became man and wife. They lived for a few years in Logan and Smithfield, where five children were born. He built a home there himself and it is still in use.

In 1898, the family moved to Pocatello, Idaho, where the Edgley family had settled, and there William Owens built a home and a store. He called it "Live and Let Live Mercantile." He sold most everything needed in the home. He arranged things in their places and insisted they were to be kept there so he could find them. His wife helped him and they did well, but her health failed so they sold the store and moved to Shelley, Idaho, where father farmed for two years, but since it took eyes to farm, he did not do well, although mother's health improved. Soon the ' family moved back to Pocatello where father built another home. He hired carpenters, but bossed the job himself, and when it came to the plumbing, the plumbers charged too much so he sent away for the fix, tures and did the job himself. That plumbing is still in use. He opened a small store in that home and the rest of his life he sold groceries.

Father had a very great sense of hearing, and with his cane he could go anywhere he had ever been before without help. He always knew when he came to a corner or a hole in the sidewalk. He could count the buildings and doorways by sound. But for his cane, one would never know he could not see his way. Sometimes as a young girl I tried to hide by being very quiet when I saw him coming, but he always knew and spoke to me. He was a High Priest in the Church, and died July 17, 1923, in Pocatello. Uncle Joe lived for many years in Lewiston, Utah. He married twice. First, to Sarah Butterfield, and second, to Elizabeth Ellis. He was the father of six children. He died at Lewiston, March 16, 1943.--Eva Owens Jorgensen.

Questions about the John Graham information - conflict between information given to me by Barbara Brumble Stoddard and Terry Moyer (see letter below). John Graham or George Samuel Graham?

Dear Cousin Angie,

. . . The Owens family were friends and associates of my ancestors. Robert Owens and Catherine Williams seemed to always be fairly near my people, and interacted with them. A few stories:

Robert was with the Mormon Battalion when his wife, Catherine, arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. He later was discharged and joined her. She was living ina little home-made shelter made by pulling a bunch of willows together and tying them off at the top --- and then throwing a buffalo rober over the top of the willows. She thus had a little “teepee” along the banks of one of the creeks in Salt Lake, and was living there when Robert arrived.

Supposedly, when Robert arrived, he went to Brigham Young and asked permission to return to Winter Quarters to get Catherine. Brigham, who dealt not too favorably with Catherine, said, “You don’t need to. She’s already here. That damned woman will not listen to counsel!”

Robert and Catherine had one son, Jerome Owens, who got cross-wise with the law. In Parowan, he and another 14-year-old were assigned to guard the sheep by night. They got to playing with their pistols. One shot was fired, which killed the other boy (Johnny Pugmire). Jerome Owens was transported to Salt Lake City for a trial. On the day Jerome was indicted by a grand jury for first degree murder, the newspaper also reported that his father, Robert, had been called to serve a mission in India.

The trial was held, and Jerome was found guilty. Governor Brigham Young then implemented the juvenile justice system of the time: Scare a wayward kid to death, then tell him to get out of the territory. (Unfortunately, the one folio missing from the governor’s papers is the one which dealt with Jerome Owens.) Anyway, Jerome did indeed "get out of the terriorty.” He went to Eureka, California, where he lived out his remaining years. He died there in 1902.

Robert took multiple wives, and non of them seem to have been very happy with him. Some lived in Southern Utah, others in the Salt Lake Valley. He left on a mission to India, where he seems to have had good success. But when he arrived home, he discovered then one or more of his wives had divorced him while he was gone!

Anyway. Years and years later my own ancestor, George Samuel Graham, lost his wife in childbirth (1872) at Fredericksburg, California (suburb of Carson City, NV). He took his two little girls, one an infant, with him to Utah. The older girl he left with his sister, Carolyn Graham Shumway, and the younger girl he took to his brother and wife: Catherine Owens Graham (married James Graham after she divorced Robert Owens). Years later, he learned that his daughter had become pregnant, so he took her to Eureaka, California, and left her with Jerome Owens and wife. They took care of the girl, Georgianna Graham, and were with her when her baby came. Then Jerome and wife adopted the baby. In 1902 Jerome Owens went out of Eureka harbor alone in a small boat, which then capsized. He was drowned in the sea.

I have in my possession a photograph of an aged Catherine Ann Williams Owens Graham with a roughly ten-year old adoptive daughter, Georgianna Graham (photo about 1882). Here she is sixty-something, raising someone else’s ten-year old. Her hands are huge and bony and worn with a lifetime of work. What a dear, good soul she was!

I understand that Catherine Ann Williams came out of what is now West Virginia, the daughter of wealthy parents. When she joined the LDS church, she was disowned and disinherited by her parents. As nearly as I know, she never wavered, never faltered. She remained true to the Church throughout her life.

On the other hand, husband Robert Owens left Utah and went to Southern California, where he shows up in the Census. He was buried in Los Angeles, apparently out of favor with the church.

Well that’s all I can come up with off the top of my head. If you have information which would confirm or deny any of what I’ve said, I’d be delight to hear from you. Although Robert and Catherine are not my actual relatives, I still love and appreciate them for what they did for my people.

For the Building of the Kingdom
A Polygamist Family - Robert Owens

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -
This biography has been compiled by Barbara (Brumble) Stoddard from the stories by Rose Eva (Owens) Jorgensen; research by Lyle Owens and other Edgley & Owens Family Organization members; land records; census records; church records; Temple records; Vital records; and information on his mission from the Historical Department of the LDS Church. - This is not to be given to companies who sell the information for profit.

On the tenth of July 1818, Robert Owens was born in Dover, Kent County, Delaware. His parents were Margaret Turner and Edmund H. Owens. Robert’s brother and sisters were William, Margaret and Elizabeth. The family resided in Caroline County, Maryland near Margaret’s family. Margaret and Edmund inherited property there in January 1808 from her father when he died.

In 1826 and 1827 Edmund and Margaret sold their property and in 1828, when Robert was ten the family moved to Wayne Township, Pickaway County, Ohio. Robert’s father died just a couple of years later. A stepbrother, George, joined the family when Margaret remarried.

In 1837 in Franklin County, Ohio, Robert married at the age of nineteen. His young bride was Catherine Ann Williams, the daughter of Esther Ruffner and William Williams from Virginia.

Catherine and Robert had their first child in September 1838. They named him Jerome. He was born in Madison County, Indiana. A daughter, Josephine, was born two years later in Whitt County, Illinois. One and a half years later, Isabelle joined the family in Gallatin County, Illinois. The family moved to McCrackon County, Kentucky.

In Kentucky Catherine and Robert heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints preached and believed it. In March 1844, they had a son. The depth of their testimony is demonstrated in the name that they gave their new infant, Nephi, the Book of Mormon Prophet. Six months later, on the twenty-first of September 1844, Robert and Catherine were baptized. They gathered with the saints in Nauvoo in the spring of 1845. They were there when the Nauvoo Temple was completed. Robert and Catherine were both able to receive their endowments the seventh of February 1846; the last day ordinances were performed in that temple. After the Prophet, Joseph Smith had been martyred the persecution increased against the ‘Mormons” again. Catherine and Robert were swept up in the forced migration west to Deseret in the tops of the Rocky Mountains.

It was unusually bitter cold that February 1846 when the Saints were forced to cross the Mississippi River. Within a day or two, that great river froze a mile wide creating a roadway for the pioneers as they fled Illinois. This was a great miracle and manifestation of the mercy and power of God in behalf of His people.

At Mt. Pisgah the Saints remained for a time while the brethren plowed some land and planted grain for the emigrants who would follow. Captain James Allen of the United States Army arrived there on the 26th of June 1846, accompanied by three dragoons. The camp of Saints was momentarily thrown into great excitement by this event, and the cry ran throughout the camp, “The United States troops are upon us!”

Captain Allen had come to “accept the services for twelve months of four or five companies of Mormon men who may be willing to serve their country in our present war with Mexico.”

The men were furnished with $21,000 for clothes, etc. By making do with the clothes they had they were able to provide the means for their families to complete their journey west. President Young was also desirous to have the saints established in the west first before the gentiles could lay claim and drive the Mormons out again. Elder Little and Colonel Kane had diligently worked in Washington to get this opportunity to help the pioneers.

Robert and his family were in Mount Pisgah when Heber C. Kimball and Brigham Young arrived to appeal to the Saints to join. Robert was one of the five hundred to volunteer. He was a private in Company B serving under Jesse D. Hunter, Captain.

On Saturday, 18 July 1846, President Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, Parley P. Pratt, Wilford Woodruff, Willard Richards and John Taylor met in private council on the banks of the Missouri River and there gave the men their last charge and blessing, with firm promise that on condition of their faithfulness their lives should be spared, the expedition should result in good and their names should be held in honorable remembrance to all generations.

Before the army’s departure from the camps in the vicinity of Council Bluffs, a “Ball” was held in their honor. Under a bowery of trees where the ground had been trodden hard and to the music of violins, horns and sleigh bells they danced with light hearts from an early hour till the sun went down. In the silence that followed a young lady sang “By the River Babylon: and they all sat down and wept when they remembered Zion. An Elder asked the blessings of Heaven on all who with purity of heart and brotherhood of spirit mingled there then they all dispersed.

On the twentieth of July 1846, they took up their march for Fort Leavenworth. The Battalion arrived at the fort on the first of August and began their preparations for the great western march.

Due to the loss of the most able men, it was determined to make camp and get settled before winter rather than proceeding onto the mountains. Permission was granted, due to the circumstances, allowing the saints to set up a temporary settlement on Indian Reservation Lands.
A place on the Missouri River where the saints could be gathered was sought. A “high plateau overlooking the river” was the sight selected and given the name of “Winter Quarters”. This is situated some five or six miles above Omaha.

The pioneers gathered there and were divided and subdivided into groups. Soon the “miracle” of a city regularly laid off with streets and by-ways appeared in the wilderness.

It was the policy of Brigham Young to keep everybody employed. The women, in addition to their household duties engaged in spinning, knitting, making leggings from deer hides and family clothing.

These were very hard times for Catherine Ann. There were occasional annoyances, chiefly caused by the thieving propensities of the Indians surrounding them, and the intermittent assaults make upon the Omahas by the Iowas and the Sioux. More serious trials however, were the tragedies of loosing all three of her daughters, Josephine, Isabelle due to diphtheria and the new baby, Mary Elizabeth born just five weeks after Robert left. He never got to see her. Catherine was not alone in her suffering. There were six hundred burials a Winter Quarters before the cold weather brought relief. The saints called the fever and disease the “black canker”. The hot swamp air was heavy with disease germs. The deficiency of their diets also caused scurvy.

While in Winter Quarters on December 7, 1846, Catherine Ann received her Patriarchal Blessing under the hand of John Smith. She was told that she would have the same right as the men that had the Priesthood. This was a great blessing in her life.

When Robert left Catherine was fully outfitted with a pair of well-broken oxen. The captain of one of the companies took them away from her saying a woman would only be a nuisance to the company. That didn’t seem to discourage her for she broke in two of her heifers and with her two young boys, Jerome 9 and Nephi 3, followed right behind the company. While crossing the plains the animals stampeded. She was holding on to them for dear life but she didn’t forget to holler back to Jerome, “Hold on the to the churn dash.” She milked her cows on the way to the valley. This also helped her to live until they could get some crops planted and harvested. Catherine and her boys arrived in the Great Salt Lake Valley October 4, 1847, with the Daniel M. Thomas Company, one of the first wagon trains.

The Mormon Battalion followed what is known as the “Cimmeron Route”. From the Mormon Camps to San Diego exceeded 2000 miles. Much of the route lay through trackless desert. At few points could food be obtained in sufficient quantity for man or beast, and some time even water failed. Wells were sunk in the wilderness, on one occasion at least; the men traveled 100 miles without water. At Santa Fe rations were reduced and soon after were further reduced to ½ and finally to ¼ allowance. The meat being the flesh of such animals as were unable to proceed further, even their hides and entrails were eagerly devoured, being gulped down with droughts of water, when water could be had. While suffering these hardships the men were compelled to carry their own knapsacks, muskets and extra ammunition, and sometimes to push the wagons through heavy sand or to help drag them over rugged mountain ranges.

Passing through a New Mexico Pueblo on the 24th of October some of the men were almost naked as on the day of their birth, except for a breach cloth. In this plight in the middle of December the battalion reached the San Pedro River, some 340 strong, and here occurred the only battle the battalion fought during their campaign, an encounter with a heard of wild bulls.

On reaching San Diego the army thought the journey ended, but after two days they were ordered
to garrison duty at the San Luis Ray Mission. Six weeks later Company B was ordered back to San Diego for duty to relieve the dragoons. They were about thirty in number and under the command of Lt. Stoneman camping at Old Town, near the sight which is known as Ramona’s Marriage Place. Religious services were held every Sunday and were well attended by the gentiles.

The battalion is credited in four great movements that made the development of the west: 1) The opening of the highways; 2) The conquest of Northern Mexico; 3) The discovery of gold in California; 4) The adoption of irrigation farming by Anglo-Saxon people.

Robert at last completed his enlistment and mustered out of the Battalion July 16, 1847 in San Diego, California. On the twentieth of July 1847, at Los Angeles, Robert with the majority of those who did not re-enlist were organized into companies for traveling, after the ancient and modern Israelitish custom, with captains of hundred, fifties and tens. On the twenty-first, the pioneers advanced scarcely knowing whither they went. Under the most trying difficulties they traveled northward. On the twenty sixth of August the men camped two miles from Sutters Fort. They gathered supplies and made preparations to go to the Valley to join their families. Half of the company turned back to work the winter in California. Robert along with the rest, continued on to the Great Basin arriving there October 16, 1847.

When Robert arrived in Salt Lake City, he was completely worn out from the long trek. He met Brigham Young and said he wouldn’t possibly be able to start back for his family. To his relief, Brigham Young told him Catherine and the children were here. He bowed to his knees and thanked God in tears. He was overjoyed to be reunited with his family and friends again.

Robert and Catherine lived by the Jordan River. They named their first baby born in the valley, Sarah. She was their sixth child. They had little to eat. Catherine would dig segos, gather greens and such to make a meal but she, being in delicate condition, was not able to eat what she prepared. She would go once a week and do work for a lady who was a little more fortunate than she. She had some white flour and would make Catherine hot biscuits and coffee. They would practically last her until the following week. Therefore, when Sarah came into the world she was a little delicate eighth month baby. Catherine was fortunate enough to raise her.

Robert received his Patriarchal Blessing under the hands of John Smith, Patriarch. This was on April 9, 1849. He was told that he is of the tribe of Levi. He was in the 34th Quorum of Seventies.

Many colonists left the forts in the spring of 1848 and began to spread out a few miles to establish other neighboring colonies. Robert settled in the Big Cottonwood area of Salt Lake Valley to the southeast of Salt Lake City. Catherine had two children born there: Sarah then Robert named for his father in November 1849.

In his home, Robert was sealed to his wife, Catherine Ann on the 7th of March 1850. Following this sealing he was married and sealed to Martha Allen as a plural wife by Heber C. Kimball. Brigham Young and Thomas Bullock served as witnesses.

Martha Allen was born the 7th of March 1823 in Somerset, Pulaski, Kentucky, the daughter of Margaret Evins and Rial Allen. She was invited to go with a neighbor girl to hear the preaching of the Mormon missionaries. When she heard Wilford Woodruff preach she believed it to be true. Before retiring that night she prayed for a testimony and straightway there came a light in her darkened bedroom. Accepting this as a divine manifestation, she joined the church in 1838, at the age of fifteen. Three of her brothers: James, Andrew Jackson and Lewis also accepted the Gospel and immigrated to Utah. Martha came to the Valley with her brother, Andrew Jackson and his family in September 1847 with the A.O. Smoot Company. Her other brother, Samuel and his family followed the Oregon Trail settling in what became Lane County, Oregon.

Robert moved his families to Iron County. June 1850 found Robert, Catherine with her four children and Martha with her six month old daughter, Margaret, all living together. His property was valued at $1300. Little Margaret was born partially blind.

In January 1851, the colony of Parowan was established in Iron County. The following August 27th, Robert arrived there with the Captain Shirts Company. Martha had her second baby daughter here in February 1852 and named her Mary. The family returned to Big Cottonwood. Brigham Young, who was a friend to them as he was to all, visited them in their home. He used to say to them, “Just give me the skim milk that you take off the top.”

During a special conference, August 28 and 29, 1852, the saints were admonished to welcome the new emigrant saints into their communities and share with them the abundance of their gardens which the Lord gave to them. They were to treat the weary pilgrims, as they would wish to be treated. This was at 10 AM in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.

Next, Brigham Young spoke on opposition. He said, “Do you suppose I am sorry because of persecution? No! I have thanked God a thousand times that the devil is not yet bound for if he had been; the saints would have gone to sleep. Light, knowledge, truth, wickedness of every kind, the works of the Almighty, and the works of the Devil, all conspire to roll on the great work that the Lord Jesus Christ is doing upon the earth.”

Before concluding, the objective of this special conference was announced. With about two thousand elders and their wives assembled in the Old tabernacle, President Young made clear the necessity of sending out missionaries. He asked what would have happened if the Church had sent missionaries to the four quarters of the earth six years earlier, shortly after leaving Nauvoo? Where would the converts have gathered? We needed to build up Zion first as a gathering place. Now we were ready as a Church to carry out this important step.

At the end of the morning session, President Brigham Young asked his counselor, President Heber C. Kimball to read the names of those who had been selected. At that time he read 96 names of individuals who had been proposed for Missions to Nations of the Earth to preach the Gospel. One and a half hours later, at 2 PM the conference was again called to order by President Brigham Young. At this time the elders were appointed to their several missions. A total of 108 were actually sent out. The list seemed to go on and on of missionaries who were being called to almost everywhere: Washington, Iowa, New Orleans, Nova Scotia, Texas, England, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Denmark, Norway… Then came the calls to Asia - Hindustan was first. Shock registered on the faces of Martha, Catherine and Robert Owens when they heard Robert’s name called to the Hindustan in the Australasian Mission. Others received calls to China, Siam (Thailand), Africa, Australia, and the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii).

Nine were chosen to go to Calcutta East India. They were: Brothers Nathaniel Vary Jones, Samuel Amos Woolley, Richard Ballantyne, Truman Leonard, William Fortheringham, Robert Hodgson Skelton, Robert Owens, William Furlsbury Carter and Amos Milton Musser. There had been no forewarning for these missionaries and their families. A hymn was sung and the benediction given by George A. Smith. Robert was set apart this same day to labor in Madrus.

Of the nine elders who were called with him to Hindustan, Brother Musser wrote, “I was somewhat acquainted with all of these brethren. A few of them I had known since the battle at Nauvoo. But we got to know each other considerable better before we all returned home. I have never known a more devout, courageous, dedicated group of men in my life.”

Robert’s call, like many others, had come at the lowest ebb of his fortunes. It meant a mission to the other side of the globe when he was already destitute and both of his wives were expecting babies in the near future. How could his families survive without him during these critical times. What kind of a place was Hindustan? If the call was a shock to Robert, it was an even greater shock to his companions. On the way home from the meeting, tears were shed, lips quivered, and the icy hand of fear seemed to claw at their hearts, but numbly and silently they began to make plans.

Leaving wives and children behind, as most of this group did, was terribly difficult. In addition to the emotional strains, it placed financial and other burdens on families that took years to overcome. But, they accepted the Lord’s call. Nathaniel Jones, Levi Savage, Jr. and Robert Owens had already served in the Mormon Battalion before coming to Utah and fought the battle of the crickets.

In the days that followed this new call, the two women went to work to outfit Robert for the journey. With aching hearts they darned his socks, mended and scrubbed his frayed shirts and underwear. They patched his worn coat and from homespun made a new suit for him.

Several training meetings were held in which various topics were discussed and plans developed. The leaders decided these missionaries would travel by wagon train by way of southern California, as had been suggested by Elder Willes in a letter from India. This plan required the purchase of wagons, horses and mules (ox drawn wagons were too slow), harnesses, and all that went with such travel. Of course, it would be necessary to camp on the way so they also had to take cooking gear and utensils, food, blankets, tents, and everything one needs for minimal comfort on a long journey.

During the next two weeks, they assembled themselves into a wagon company. Then, one morning, as the first streaks of dawn broke in the east; Robert threw the last bundle into the wagon, and then walked to the two women waiting to bid him adieu. He kissed them and his young children fondly, gave them each a kind word of counsel, pleading with them to think of him in their prayers, to live the gospel and take care of each other. He told his wives, “If you need anything to go to the Brethren.” Brigham Young had promised to look after them if things got too bad. “Trust in the Lord and never doubt His watchful care over us. All will be well.” Robert then promised to write as soon as possible and kissing each in turn, he climbed quickly into the wagon and started the mules down the road. Wanting to be as much like the Apostles of old, they truly went without purse or script.

The missionaries headed south on the first leg of their journey to India. While on their way, they stopped at the Point of the Mountain to take one last look at the Great Salt Lake Valley. Leaving Provo they continued south through Springville and Spanish Fork to ‘Peeteetneet”, or Pauson, a beautiful location of saints in the south end of Utah Valley where the 38 missionaries called to Calcutta, Siam, the Sandwich Islands, Hong Kong, and Australia had planned to meet. They held meetings and taught the gospel at the different settlements through which they traveled. They stayed at the homes of Latter Day Saints where they were generously fed, sheltered and supplied with fodder for their horses.

At Nephi, where the elders were hospitably entertained by church members and featured at a special meeting in the schoolhouse, the traveling brethren were requested to speak their feelings, and it was glorious to listen to the power of the Spirit of the Lord that was with them. They bore mighty testimonies. They felt they had forsaken all things for the Gospel’s sake, but they were not forsaken of God. Twenty-five missionaries spoke at the meeting.

As they were nearing Indian Territory they organized into an orderly Company, electing a Captain, a Sergeant of the Guard and Chaplain. Near Savier Lake they met heavy rainstorms for two days. They slept on the ground during the deluge, and woke in the morning with an inch of ice frozen on the water surrounding their bunks. They arrived in Fillmore about noon on the 27th of October, and were royally received with grain for the animals. Next they moved on to Corn Creek, crossing several ranges of low mountains. They passed through Dog Valley; a name derived from the existence of a veritable “Prairie Dog City”. (It was here that Brigham Young said the Gadianton Robbers had their stronghold.) On November first they arrived at Parowan Fort. Here Apostle George Albert Smith directed personally the outfitting of the company for the trek across the desert to California. He also advised them to “refresh ourselves in dancing and preaching.”

A dance was held that night in honor of the missionaries. The evening included songs, recitations and addresses. Elder George Albert Smith, in the opening talk, cautioned the Elders of the dangers they might expect from women and evil spirits and the great deep. Because of the new doctrine of plural wives they would be considered licentious men, subject to suspicion unless their lives were very circumspect. Amply supplied with grain and food the company resumed their journey. As they pulled away from the Fort, the American Flag was unfurled, and cheers rang in their ears.

Now they crossed the desert. Traveling was monotonous so they occupied their time reading to each other and conversing about the gospel. Several of the group had served previous missions and as they traveled along gave instructions on how to speak to an audience, which parts of the Gospel generally gained the most interest, and how best to deal with anti-Mormons. There was also much reflection about the future, the trials they would have to face without money to pay their way. They talked of their families and dear ones left behind.

Their wagons took them over a rocky and hilly road to Mountain Meadow where a few years later was to be the stage of the infamous massacre. On the eleventh of November after a particularly hard day on the trail, the camp was visited by a small band of Piute Indians who stalked into camp and made themselves comfortable. These redskins were dirty, shifty eyed and puny. With only a few grunts and signs they made it plain they expected some food and the warmth of the fire. After partaking liberally of the missionaries’ rations the savages calmly rolled into their blankets and slept ‘til morning. There is no doubt that if there was a missionary there who had never before slept with one eye open he learned to do so that night. On the 13th of November they were joined by a few emigrants who were going to California to get gold. On the night of the 15th they camped at the base of a mountain. Here they left the Rio Virgin River and began the treacherous assent to the top. They traveled nineteen miles over this mountain. Three cheers were given as the last wagon reached the summit in safety.

Then on to the Muddy, a small stream about twenty feet wide and two and a half feet deep, where they camped for the night. Ahead of them was a fifty-two mile stretch of desert to Las Vegas. They reached Vegas the 18th of November. The country was infested with wolves and Indians. November 22, in the face of a heavy snowstorm they pushed 23 miles westward.

In crossing the Mojave Desert they found little feed for their horses. The soil was sandy and the wagon wheels sunk deeply. It was a tedious 96 miles but on December first, they camped for the last time in the desert beside the feeble Mojave Creek. Then the company climbed for seventeen miles over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Two days later a tired and dusty group of missionaries halted at Lugo Rancho in San Bernardino. This ranch had been purchased by the church as a supply depot for the LDS emigrating to Utah. Here the Elders disposed of their traveling outfits, collected means to carry them further on their journey, visited, studied and wrote letters to their families. They had encountered the usual difficulties associated with travel in those days: sickness, lack of water while crossing the desert, blacksmithing when a horse lost a shoe or something broke on a wagon, etc. The trip to California took about six weeks.

On the seventeenth of December 1852 they resumed their journey to Los Angeles, arriving there two days later, in a drenching rain, being brought hither by the San Bernardino Saints. Los Angeles was a pioneer town. Here they saw much of the human dregs of America, as well as the enterprising pioneer. After a few days there, they went to San Pedro and parted with the Saints. These good people refused pay for bringing them in their wagons.

The group went to San Pedro and then sailed up the coast to San Francisco instead of going directly west to San Francisco. The reason was they feared that an early winter storm through the Sierra Nevada might cause serious problems. The southern route was warmer, but even then they encountered some snow as they crossed Cajon Pass.

On Christmas day 1852, the missionaries found a small two-masted ship, the brig Col. Fremont and bargained with Captain John Erskine, Jr., to carry them to San Francisco, where after ten days they landed on January 9, 1853. The ocean was rough, and they could hardly hold down anything they ate. The crew had brought four Spanish steers on board for fresh meat while en route, but even before they sailed, two of the beasts became enraged, driving passengers to the hold or cabins and the sailors to the rigging. The steers were killed immediately. While at sea, the other two cattle broke loose and were similarly disposed of.

The weather was still blowing a gale when they arrived at the Golden Gate and San Francisco harbor. Brother Fortheringham described their arrival in these words: “When within a mile of the wharf…the captain ordered the sailors to let go the starboard anchor. The chain jammed in the windless; at the same time the tide was running at the speed of a mill race. The sails being in a condition to render the brig no assistance, she drifted down with the tide, running against a large ship laying at anchor in the bay, carrying away the ship’s flying jib-boom and martingale, and her own try-sail-boom and gaff. She got clear of the ship without any further damage, still drifting astern, when they let go the starboard anchor, which brought her up.” Needless to say, they were grateful to the Lord for His deliverance and for sparing their lives.

San Francisco was a terrible city. Every vice imaginable was available: gambling, drinking, prostitution, brawling. No one seemed to keep the Sabbath. The city’s sinful temptations were not a problem for the missionaries. Their problem was to raise enough money to sail to India. Their wagons and horses had been sold in southern California, and most of them sent the proceeds home to their needy families. As missionaries, they intended to serve without purse or script. They did not believe they could prove the nations without providing them with the opportunity to serve the Lord’s servants.

Now the matter of raising money to pay passage to the Orient was faced. January fourteen a meeting with the Saints of that region was held to discuss it and the suggestion was made that the funds be solicited from outsiders. Although skeptical of the results the Elders decided to try it. They divided San Francisco into districts and went door to door asking for donations. Some of the brethren even went to Sacramento and many gold mining towns. But after three weeks the 13 missionaries had raised only about six hundred dollars. (The missionaries going to Siam remained with the nine.) Only $650 was collected through the combined efforts of all solicitors, and $3000, or about $200 per person was necessary. At that point, John M. Horner, a Church member along with his non-member brother contributed the remainder of the needed funds.

The next problem was suitable transportation to the various destinations. The missionaries finally arranged cabin passage with Captain Zenos Windsor, Master of the Clipper Monsoon, which was almost ready for sail for India. Captain Windsor had sailed from Boston the same day we received our calls, August 28, 1852. He had arrived at San Francisco the same day we did. They felt strongly that he had been guided their way by the hand of God. The Monsoon was an exceptional ship. Brother Carter said it was “the finest ship I ever saw and with the best accommodations in the cabin of any ship that I have ever seen."” We were assigned to suitable cabins when we boarded on January 27, 1853.

Life on shipboard fell into a routine with morning and evening prayer. They held frequent meetings for preaching and teaching each other, for there was much to learn. From the first night on board, Captain Windsor gave them the privilege of meeting in his cabin every evening to sing hymns, speak, and offer prayers and frequently met with them.

On board ship Richard Ballantyne and Levi Savage contracted smallpox while in San Francisco. They were placed in a vacant stateroom and nursed by Elder Skelton. Through faith and prayers and the blessing of God, they both completely recovered without spreading to any others. Most of their clothes and bedding were thrown overboard.

On March third, the Elders convened to name heads for the missions. As the day approached when they would embark at Calcutta, they intensified their studies and preparation. School was held morning and afternoon. Ballantyne and West lectured on English grammar. They practiced preaching sermons to each other and were free with suggestions for improvement. As the conclusion of their journey drew near they were thrilled with the prospects that lay ahead.

Catherine Ann was left alone again to shift for herself. She was a good, thrifty worker, always willing to do what was right. When the men were away she was called to administer to the sick, which she never failed to do. She healed and helped the women with their work, sharing her faith and principles with all she came in contact with. A few months after Robert left, in December 1852, Robert and Catherine’s eighth and last baby was born. He was given the name George Brigham after the prophet. Martha also had a son, William, the following February. Little William was born blind.

On April 24th, the ship dropped anchor off Sagar Island, about 120 miles south of Calcutta. The island was flat, sandy, and swampy, infested with alligators, crocodiles, and Bengal tigers. Also, there were hyenas, jackals, and birds that survived on carrion, mostly human bodies that been ritually placed or dumped in the river after death. The held many ships that had come down from Calcutta. The citizens of Calcutta who occupied the ships were fleeing a cholera epidemic.

Early in the morning of Monday, April 25, 1853, anchor was raised and they proceeded up the river. Elder Savage described the scene; “We soon arrived where the land appeared on either side. It is thickly scattered with dwellings and small villages situated on the riverbanks, which are small huts composed of mud walls and roofs thatched with straw. Domestic animals are quietly feeding in the green fields or strutting up and down at the waters edge. We passed this day very pleasantly viewing the different and strange to us scenes as we passed up the river.”

They arrived in Calcutta safe and in good spirits at six P.M. being three months since they sailed from San Francisco. The lights of Calcutta glowed over the glassy waters. The Elders had traveled half way around the world. On sea alone they had traveled 10,936 miles in fifty six days, altogether six months from home.

At the wharf they were met and greeted by a thirteen year old boy, Henry Fredrick McCune. His father, Mathew, one of the first three converts to the church in Calcutta in 1851, and was now serving in the English army near Rangoon in the Burma war. His mother opened her home and prepared many home cooked meals for the homesick Elders. Henry was an excellent guide who soon awakened guests to the stern realities of India. He pointed out tall Afghans in dirty white garments; Arabs, Malays, Hinus, and giant Sikhs were to be seen on every side. Then there were beggars with horribly distorted limbs with running sores and self inflicted injuries. Occasionally a leper could be seen slinking down a dark alley.

The missionaries were taken to the home of James P. Meik. Their expectations of a thriving branch of the church were blasted when their host informed them that there were less than twenty members in the city and only about six were still active. The Elders were determined to leave no stone unturned to spread their message throughout India. Notice of the arrival of the missionaries was printed in the newspapers. Then plans were completed for holding of a conference, the first to be held in Asia in the latter days.

On Friday 29 April 1853, in Calcutta, at number 2-1/2 Juan Bazaar Street this conference convened in the chapel built by James P. Meik. There were present 13 missionaries, the local Elders, Meik and Saxton and five women.

Nathaniel V. Jones was sustained as President of the East India Mission, to establish his headquarters in Calcutta with Amos Milton Musser as his companion and clerk. Richard Ballantyne was appointed to take charge of the Madras district with Robert Skelton. Robert Owens was to join them later. Singapore was the destination of William F. Carter and William Fortheringham and Truman Leonard, and Samuel A. Wooley in Chinsurah. The handful of saints surrounded by a turbulent and prolific heathen population was like an oasis in the desert. They soon faced bitter condemnation for the doctrine of polygamy in a land where polygamy was prevalent and child marriage common. The climate was ravaging. They were drained physically and mentally.

While waiting transportation to their several missions the Elders continued to have a home with the Meiks on a farm in Acra, eight miles outside Calcutta. Each day the Elders inquired of the ships leaving Calcutta for passage to their destinations. They had little or no money. The monsoon season was approaching and the urgency of getting away became more evident every day. The Hindustanee missionaries extended their labors throughout India as the way opened. Finally on the 24th of July Elders Ballantyne and Skelton arrived at Madras but they found there, as in Calcutta, much opposition to their message.

Elder Robert Owens was appointed to serve in Madras in the East India Conference. He arrived in Madras from Calcutta on the second of January 1854 in good health. He brought a small quantity of books for President Jones. These supplied a lack, which at first was a great disadvantage to the cause. Elder Owens was appointed to labor at Chinaderaput, in the suburbs of Madras. He lived with Richard Ballantyne in the home of Mr. Brown.

Robert was not succeeding in opening the doors for the preaching of the Gospel either. The March 6, 1854 report was that the branch at Madras included seven members and three Elders. During the month of February four were baptized. The Hindu festivals were often orgies of licentiousness and excess. One of these celebrations was witnessed by Richard Ballantyne and Ro
y approachable.”

Dear Angie,
Have you ever heard of this marriage before? I have not. Do you know when David Graham died or if Catherine left him? David was much younger than she was but they had two children together. Catherine must have had good contact with the Graham family to have been so involved with them that she was given Georgianna to raise and Jerome to have raised Georgianna's baby.
Catherine went to Smithfield to live near Sarah and nurse her son Robert who died at the age of 14. Do we know what he died of? Where was David Graham during this time?
Looks like we have more work to do on Catherine. Do you have any stories on her?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Barbara

Dear Angie, Mr. Terry Moyer, the gentle man who has the picture of Catherine has suffered brain damage and has cancer. He is no longer able to even remember any of his former research or where things are. I spoke with his very sweet wife who cares for him. She said she would try to locate the picture but she does not know where he filed it. She said she would let me know if she finds it. She said Terry had received a number of genealogy letters but was unable to respond to them. His wife kept hoping he would get better but after a year realizes it will not happen. I told her I would let you and Merla know for her. How very sad. I do hope she is able to find the picture. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Love, Barbara

Dear Angie,

In reading over the letter from Terry I found some differences ref the name of the Graham that Great Great Grandmother Catherine married after she divorced Robert Owens. The Owens Family info from Barbara Stoddard indicated that she Married David Graham the the child she adopted, George Ann, was James Grahams daughter.

Terry's info said that Catherine married James and adopted the child, Georgieanna, of George Graham (Terry's ancestor). Terry also mentioned that if we could confirm or deny any of what she said to let her know.

Did you send a copy of the letter to Barbara Stoddard? If not do you mind if I send one so she can check her sources. I will not do so unless you say I can when you get back with me.

I spoke with Barbara the other day, prior to rereading the letter. Barbara gave me some interesting information about copying photos. She said that she found out just a while back that if you copy photos on a copier it starts a process on the photo that will damage it. She suggested that a negative should be made first of any photos that are copied. I am not sure about scanners. She said that she did not know if they harmed the photos in the same way or not.

I'll mail the news article on Arthur Sullivan soon.

I have a question: On the information that Jerry sent me originally he showed his birth year as 1940. In your news letter I see that it is 1941? Also I know when you told me about your grandmother Myra, but if you don't mind- when did she pass and where. I have the date of her services, but again not the location.

Oh yes I am in contact with Nina Sullivan, John Sullivan's daughter, so will have more cousins to add soon.

Take Care, Looking forward to hearing from you again.

Your Cousin Merla

Heart Throbs of the West: Volume 10
The Move South
John Halleft -- Frightful Accident

William and Joseph Owens.--Robert Owens and his wife joined the church in Ohio in 1844, and
moved to Nauvoo. When the United States called for volunteers, Robert accepted the call and went
with his brothers in the Mormon Battalion to California, while his wife drove her ox team to Utah and
brought her five children. When Robert came home in 1850, he met and married a second wife,
Martha Allen, who had come to Utah with her brother. They had five children, two girls and three
boys. Their first son, Willlain, was born in Salt Lake City, February 6, 1853. He was blind at birth.
Five years later, two more boys, Rial and Joseph were born, and one of these, Joseph, was also blind.

These two blind boys never went to school, but grew up at home together. From early childhood
William had a strong desire to investigate all machinery from threshing machines to old clocks and
watches. When he was fourteen years old he left home with his brother, Joseph, to make their own
way. They traveled by foot and after the railroad came they walked the rails from town to town; Joseph
selling books, while William mended watches and clocks and tuned pianos.

When William, was a man, he wanted to find a doctor to help him gain his sight. This desire took him to
England, where he lived with the ,family of Joseph Edgley. The oldest daughter, Mary Ann, was his
guide while in London. William never found any help for his eyes, so the time came to go home.
Knowing the desires of the Edgley family to come to Utah, William offered to pay the passage for two
members, so Mary Ann and her father, Joseph, came with him. Soon after on September 26, 1888,
William and Mary Ann became man and wife. They lived for a few years in Logan and Smithfield,
where five children were born. He built a home there himself and it is still in use.

In 1898, the family moved to Pocatello, Idaho, where the Edgley family had settled, and there William
Owens built a home and a store. He called it "Live and Let Live Mercantile." He sold most everything
needed in the home. He arranged things in their places and insisted they were to be kept there so he
could find them. His wife helped him and they did well, but her health failed so they sold the store and
moved to Shelley, Idaho, where father farmed for two years, but since it took eyes to farm, he did not
do well, although mother's health improved. Soon the ' family moved back to Pocatello where father
built another home. He hired carpenters, but bossed the job himself, and when it came to the plumbing,
the plumbers charged too much so he sent away for the fix, tures and did the job himself. That plumbing
is still in use. He opened a small store in that home and the rest of his life he sold groceries.

Father had a very great sense of hearing, and with his cane he could go anywhere he had ever been
before without help. He always knew when he came to a corner or a hole in the sidewalk. He could
count the buildings and doorways by sound. But for his cane, one would never know he could not see
his way. Sometimes as a young girl I tried to hide by being very quiet when I saw him coming, but he
always knew and spoke to me. He was a High Priest in the Church, and died July 17, 1923, in
Pocatello. Uncle Joe lived for many years in Lewiston, Utah. He married twice. First, to Sarah
Butterfield, and second, to Elizabeth Ellis. He was the father of six children. He died at Lewiston,
March 16, 1943.--Eva Owens Jorgensen.

Questions about the John Graham information - conflict between information given to me by Barbara Brumble Stoddard and Terry Moyer (see letter below). John Graham or George Samuel Graham?

Dear Cousin Angie,

. . . The Owens family were friends and associates of my ancestors. Robert Owens and Catherine Williams seemed to always be fairly near my people, and interacted with them. A few stories:

Robert was with the Mormon Battalion when his wife, Catherine, arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. He later was discharged and joined her. She was living ina little home-made shelter made by pulling a bunch of willows together and tying them off at the top --- and then throwing a buffalo rober over the top of the willows. She thus had a little “teepee” along the banks of one of the creeks in Salt Lake, and was living there when Robert arrived.

Supposedly, when Robert arrived, he went to Brigham Young and asked permission to return to Winter Quarters to get Catherine. Brigham, who dealt not too favorably with Catherine, said, “You don’t need to. She’s already here. That damned woman will not listen to counsel!”

Robert and Catherine had one son, Jerome Owens, who got cross-wise with the law. In Parowan, he and another 14-year-old were assigned to guard the sheep by night. They got to playing with their pistols. One shot was fired, which killed the other boy (Johnny Pugmire). Jerome Owens was transported to Salt Lake City for a trial. On the day Jerome was indicted by a grand jury for first degree murder, the newspaper also reported that his father, Robert, had been called to serve a mission in India.

The trial was held, and Jerome was found guilty. Governor Brigham Young then implemented the juvenile justice system of the time: Scare a wayward kid to death, then tell him to get out of the territory. (Unfortunately, the one folio missing from the governor’s papers is the one which dealt with Jerome Owens.) Anyway, Jerome did indeed "get out of the terriorty.” He went to Eureka, California, where he lived out his remaining years. He died there in 1902.

Robert took multiple wives, and non of them seem to have been very happy with him. Some lived in Southern Utah, others in the Salt Lake Valley. He left on a mission to India, where he seems to have had good success. But when he arrived home, he discovered then one or more of his wives had divorced him while he was gone!

Anyway. Years and years later my own ancestor, George Samuel Graham, lost his wife in childbirth (1872) at Fredericksburg, California (suburb of Carson City, NV). He took his two little girls, one an infant, with him to Utah. The older girl he left with his sister, Carolyn Graham Shumway, and the younger girl he took to his brother and wife: Catherine Owens Graham (married James Graham after she divorced Robert Owens). Years later, he learned that his daughter had become pregnant, so he took her to Eureaka, California, and left her with Jerome Owens and wife. They took care of the girl, Georgianna Graham, and were with her when her baby came. Then Jerome and wife adopted the baby. In 1902 Jerome Owens went out of Eureka harbor alone in a small boat, which then capsized. He was drowned in the sea.

I have in my possession a photograph of an aged Catherine Ann Williams Owens Graham with a roughly ten-year old adoptive daughter, Georgianna Graham (photo about 1882). Here she is sixty-something, raising someone else’s ten-year old. Her hands are huge and bony and worn with a lifetime of work. What a dear, good soul she was!

I understand that Catherine Ann Williams came out of what is now West Virginia, the daughter of wealthy parents. When she joined the LDS church, she was disowned and disinherited by her parents. As nearly as I know, she never wavered, never faltered. She remained true to the Church throughout her life.

On the other hand, husband Robert Owens left Utah and went to Southern California, where he shows up in the Census. He was buried in Los Angeles, apparently out of favor with the church.

Well that’s all I can come up with off the top of my head. If you have information which would confirm or deny any of what I’ve said, I’d be delight to hear from you. Although Robert and Catherine are not my actual relatives, I still love and appreciate them for what they did for my people.

NEPHI WILLIAM OWENS

Edited and Corrected February 21, 2001, by Merla L. Becker

(Includes Elizabeth, Robert & Catherine)

NEPHI WILLIAM OWENS: He was born on March 24, 1844, in Kentucky. He was named after The Book of Mormon Prophet. Robert & Catherine heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints preached and believed while in Kentucky (source Barbara Stoddard). His father, Robert, was English and his mother, Catherine, was of German descent. Robert and Catherine had apparently moved from Illinois to Kentucky after Isabelle was born, and then after March 1844 went to Ohio.

There has been stories related down through some family members that Nephi was a survivor from the Meadow Mountain Incident in Southern Utah on Sept 7 to 11, 1857.
I myself had been guilty of relating such a story in my earlier writing on Nephi when I first started putting years of family information together. Uncle Jim had told me a story he said that he heard when he was a small boy regarding this survivor theory. My mother asked me quite sometime later if I believed the story. She said that at the time she could tell Jim was pulling my leg, so to speak. He liked to do that. I have since been very careful to back up my family history with facts that can be backed up by research and first hand information, not just stories. The only reason I can think of for Nephi to fabricate his survivor story to Sky Hicks etc is to try to impress his grandchildren.

Regardless of the variety of stories, I, as well as others who are into research, have traced Nephi back with his parents, Robert and Catherine, from his birth forward. Not to mention the fact that Nephi would have been 13 at the time of the incident and * the oldest child taken was between seven and eight and all were returned after two years to their relatives, except one infant girl. (* I have a copy of the Meadow Mountain Massacre by Juanita Brooks, which was compiled after the author researched an untold number of official documents. The above information on the children is in that publication.)

There is also some information (his obituary) that Nephi came west when he was 19 years. I believe that information to be misinformation. The following information shows that he was living in Utah from age 3 to 18. Nephi is listed on the 1860 census for Utah in Great Salt Lake Co., Union, page 265. He is also there in 1862; age at that time would be18. He obviously met Elizabeth Campbell (Roberts)Robertson in Salt Lake about 1865. She was living there at that time and had a baby girl, Margarette Sarah (Roberts) Robertson, who was born there. Elizabeth’s first husband had been a soldier and had been killed by Indians in the Utah Territory (information from Dianna Fore). She operated a restaurant in Salt Lake to support herself and baby. Family tradition said that she and Nephi were married in Utah, but the IGI file, film # 198544402, official temple records for deceased individual shows they were married in about 1867 in Helena, Montana. They still lived in Montana in June of 1870, and are shown on the Deer Lodge Census at that time. Nephi was listed as a farmer and Elizabeth ‘keps springhouse’. By 1871 they were in the Walla Walla - Yakima area in Washington Territory. Sometime between 1887 and about 1890 they moved to Latah Co., Idaho (Bruneau by 1900).


ELIZABETH ANN CAMPBELL:

The following information was compiled by Merla L. Becker

Elizabeth Ann Campbell was born on April 16, 1843, in Texas, Pike Co., Missouri. Her mother’s name was Mary Ward, who married a Campbell. I do not as yet have an absolute first name for her father. I found a John Campbell some years ago in the1850 census in Missouri, but could only confirm sons. Elizabeth Campbell was Catholic.

The following Information was taken from a letter I received from Mamie Jackson, Aunt Caddie’s, Mary Catherine Owens, daughter, which was written in Aug 1984.

“I will try to tell you what I can remember of the history of our mother’s family. I had intended to do more research, but I’ll do that and sent it later. I’m sure I can get more on Granddad Owens through the Church.

Starting with Grandma Owens. Her maiden name was Campbell. Her Parents died with a week of each other when she was small, I think 7 years old. In those days that was not uncommon because of small pox, diphtheria, cholera, etc. I don’t remember what their problem was. *

The parents had friends, the Prices, who took the two youngest ones, Grandma and Uncle Ben to raise. Uncle Ben didn’t want to stay and he went with some of the older brothers and sisters.

Grandma stayed with the Prices. Later during the Civil War, Grandpa Price was General Sterling Price. Grandma had a happy live with them and had a good education for those days. Her Piano cost a thousand dollars, and that was a lot at that time.

They had a beautiful home in Nevada, Missouri and a big farm outside of town.

They had slaves, but they were well treated. He bought one slave that was the only one he ever sold. He bought him because he married one of their girls (one of the slave girls) and when he was due to be sold down the river by his owner, grandpa bought him. He turned out to be so mean and beat his wife, so grandpa sold him.

After the War some of Grandma’s own family was coming west in a wagon train and she decided to come too. Along the way she marred a man by the name of Robertson. He was assigned to a scouting party and never returned. It was assumed he was a victim of the Indians. She had a little girl and she named her Margarette. That was our Aunt Mag.

Then Grandma married Granddad Owens.”

The rest of the information in the letter contained names of the children and I won’t list them here, as I already had them in my family sheets.

Note: Information from Dianna Fore says that he was a soldier and the location where he was killed in the Utah Territory.


The following is from a second letter that I received from Mamie in the fall of 1984.

“First I’ll tell you what I know about the “spy” episode. Mama would have been very indignant it you had referred to her mother as a spy. However, It seems to be a matter of words. Grandma was a very young girl during the Civil War and a girl riding bareback and alone was not very conspicuous. She also knew all those hills very well. She carried messages back and forth and I presume she observed and reported what she saw. Was she a spy?

She told one incident of her being in a girl friend’s yard when the girl friend’s two brothers were killed by northern soldiers. When I was visiting in Missouri my husband, Jack, showed me the yard and old time house back in the Ozarks where his grandmother nee Brown Jackson had lived during the war and her two brothers had been killed by the northern soldiers. Then we realized that our grandmothers had been friends before and through the Civil War.

I wonder if there were possibly more than one General Price? The story mama told and the ones my husband, Jack, told coincided. He showed me the old Price Plantation and said that the slave cabins were there when he was a boy. (He was a year older than I was, so that would mean over 70 years ago-early 1900’s) When we were there about 10 years ago (about 1974) they were gone. Their town home, which had been in a stylish part of town, is now a rundown section. This is speaking of Nevada, Missouri. The Prices had one boy and his name was Will. They didn’t have a daughter.”

OTHER RESEARCH I DID:

There was two other General Prices; one being Sterling’s Brother, and the other Sterling’s son. Aunt Caddie had said that it was General Sterling Price that took Elizabeth and Ben. If Sterling did take her and Ben, she may have stayed with them for a while. Sterling was elected governor of Missouri in 1852; I would assume that he then moved to Jefferson City, the capital. He lived there until 1856 while he was governor. His son got married in Jefferson City, in 1855. Jefferson City is not all that far from Vernon County. If the son lived there after his marriage, he might have taken Elizabeth with him to live. He was a General in the Civil War also. This would explain the General Price in Nevada, Missouri and also how Elizabeth got all the way across the state from Pike County to Vernon County

Note: This is another story that was passed down through the daughters by Elizabeth: She was not allowed to go out into the fields when there was fighting in the area. However, she said that one day she did go out into the fields and the water running through the ditches in the fields was running red from the blood of the dead and wounded soldiers.

* A researcher at the Missouri Historical Society told me that there was a cholera outbreak in Missouri in 49-50.)

The following is possibilities, not substantiated facts

It is possible that the trip west that Elizabeth took with her relatives may have started from Missouri then to Texas. She had told my grandmother that she had been in Texas before going to Utah.

General Price had sent his family to San Antonio, Texas early to mid war for their safety, Elizabeth could have gone to Texas with them. (Sometime prior to May of 1863), but that would not coincide with the letter.

There were a number of Robertsons in the area where Elizabeth was raised. Lots of people in that area was southern sympathizers and had to leave that area. A number of them went to Texas.

The letter from Mamie, said that after the war Elizabeth went west with her own relatives. The war was over in April 1865, and Sarah Margarette was born May 3, 1865, in Utah. According to Mamie’s letter Elizabeth met and married Robertson after the war on the wagon train; however, these events would have had to occur prior to the end of the war. The time frame from the end of the war and Margarette’s birth in Utah is only one month. She may have traveled with her Uncle and family in the later part of the war (1864) in that wagon train Mamie referred to. I would think that they headed to Texas first as there were other Campbells there as well as the Prices, then proceeded to Utah.

I do not doubt what Mamie wrote; I just think the sequence of events cover a longer time frame.

If, Elizabeth went with her Uncle & family to go on west after the war, she only made it as far as Utah, where Sarah Margarette was born. Dianna Fore offered information that Elizabeth ran a restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah, while she was there. I believe that she probably met Nephi there. *“Nephi is shown still living in Utah on the 1860 Great Salt Lake Co., Union page 265 & he is also there in 1862”. Family tradition is that they were married in Utah, however death records on file in the LDS records show that they were married in about 1867 in Helena, Montana?

The information from the 1860 census came from Arlene Davis

NOTE: It was mentioned in the early Vernon Co. History, that Nevada had been basically deserted by 1863. Only tenants were staying in a few of the houses. The property owners in the area were southern sympathizers, and had left the area.

On May 26, 1863, marauders burned Nevada - a witness, a young boy at the time, said that most of the town had been abandoned. There were 7 families there at the time (about 27 people). Most all the abandoned buildings and houses were burned and some of the few that had people living in them were also burned out. The people were not given a chance to save much of anything.


MORE ON NEPHI OWENS
(I just received this Feb 24, 2001)

This is from Series 373:Case Files and Series 3939: Minutes Books of the Salt Lake County (Utah) Probate Court, Civil and Criminal Cases.

An affidavit was filed on Nov 17, 1862; by William Holmes that named Nephi and 10 others in the following statement which in part had following basic information. “On the night of the 13th day of Nov. and on the succeeding night inst, that is to say on the night of the 14th and on the night of the 15th days of November instant. His dwelling house on the Little Cottonwood River in Great Salt Lake County, was surrounded and assaulted in a riotous and tumultuous manner using disgusting and abusive language by James Banks, Nephi Owens, William Woolsey, George Shell, Powell Jenson, Frank Jensen and others. (Next section is difficult to read, so I will get back to the rest of the basic complaint) The said individuals uttering the most disgusting and abusive language towards affiant and his family threatening personal violence firing guns and pistols, swearing, whooping and yelling like so many savages. Disturbing not only the peace of affiant and his family, but of the whole neighborhood in violation of the statutes of the Territory etc.”

On the 17th of November, 1862 and order of arrest (warrant) was given to the Sheriff to arrest James Banks, Nephi Owens, William Woolsey, George Shell, Powell Jenson, Frank Jenson, Ephraim Griffith, Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Loren Forbush, and Charles Bird, “If found in this Territory and bring them forthwith before me at my office in the Court House in Great Salt Lake City, Utah, that an examination may be had in the premises and the said defendants dealt with as the law directs. And for so doing this shall be your sufficient warrant. Signed the 17th day of Nov. by E. Smith, Probate Judge, G.S.L. County

The court minutes show that James Banks, Nephi Owens and William Woolsey were all fined $25.00. George Shell, Charles Bird and Joseph Proctor (?) were each fined $10.00 and Frank Johnson and Loren Forbush were fined $5.00 - each to pay their proportion of the costs. The sheriff was “directed to take the aforesaid prisoners who was fined into custody and then safely keep in the County Prison until they comply with the order of the Court.”

The following were released with the payment of the fines and cost by family/friends: Geo Shell, William Woolsey ($64.00) Loren Forbush ($11.00) Joseph Proctor, Frank Johnson, Charles Bird ($49.00). The others including Nephi were returned to the county prison.

One can only guess at how long Nephi was jailed. Grandmother Catherine had no money; she had a hard time feeding herself and other children. Grandfather Robert had left about a month ½ prior to go to San Francisco and then on to India on a mission.


ROBERT OWENS AND CATHERINE ANN WILLIAMS


Robert was born on 10 July 1818, in Dover, Kent Co., Delaware. His parents were Edmund H. Owens and Margaret Turner (her maiden name was shown as Tur in the Mormon Battalion, but another family researcher found that it was Turner). Catherine Ann Williams was born on December 11, 1819, in Salt Works, Cannon Co., Virginia (now in West Virginia). Her parents were William Williams and Esther Ruffner. Robert and Catherine were married in 1837 in Franklin Co., Ohio. They had eight children, five of which were born prior to the migration to Utah. They were Jerome, Josephine, Isabelle, Nephi and Mary Elizabeth. The three girls died prior to the migration. The remaining children, Sarah, Robert Jr., and George were born in Utah.

Robert and Catherine had apparently moved from Illinois to Kentucky after Isabelle was born, and then after March 1844 when Nephi was born went to Ohio. Robert was with Catherine and children in Ohio prior to September 21, 1844. He and Catherine joined the church there at that time. After they joined the church, they moved to Nauvoo, (this information I found on Page 385 of “Heart Throbs of the West” by Kate B. Carter). I found Nephi listed at the age of three with his mother, Catherine Owens and his older brother, Jarome (Jerome), (the three girls had died prior to this time) in the 2nd Group, Fifth Ten that set out from Iowa in the summer of 1847, and arrived in Salt Lake Valley October 2, 1847. The first of the wagon train arrived on September 29, 1947 and the last of the train arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on October 2, 1847. (This information is from “Heart Throbs of the West” by Kate B. Carter Page 431.) Robert did not make the trip with Catherine and the children because he was serving in the Mormon Battalion, which he joined in early 1846. NOTE: in reference to Mormon migration from Ill. to Salt Lake City, Caption Edward Hunter said the Second hundred departed June 17, 1847 and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley September 29, 1847.

In 1850 they lived in the County of Iron in Southern Utah. Robert was a farmer. He had taken a second wife, Martha, in about 1849. Robert and his second wife, Martha moved to the San Bernardino Rancho settlement in California after his return from his mission (Oct 1852- late1855) to Hindustan (India). Catherine had refused to go, as she and Martha did not get along. Note: The information about the mission & migration to California was from information compiled by Barbara Stoddard. Catherine had gotten a Civil Divorce and remarried a man named David Graham in about 1856 and had two more children, a daughter, Addie born about 1857 and a son, David was born about 1859-1860. (Cecil Miles gave me the information on the Civil Divorce & remarriage of Catherine-her husband and children’s names are from the WFT Vol. 6)

Robert & Martha went their separate ways by 1860. On the 1860 census Martha was in San Bernardino and Robert was in Los Angeles. Martha returned to Parawan by 1863 and remarried. Robert died in Los Angeles, California, and Catherine died in Smithfield, Utah.

10. ROBERT9 OWENS (EDMUND H.8, WILLIAM7, WILLIAM6, WILLIAM5, WILLIAM4, WILLIAM3, RICHARD2, JOHN H.1)19 was born July 10, 1818 in Dover, Kent Co., Delaware20, and died November 9, 1883 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California21. He married (1) CATHERINE ANN WILLIAMS21 1837 in Franklin Co., Ohio22, daughter of WILLIAM WILLIAMS and ESTHER RUFFNER.

He married (2) MARTHA EVANS ALLEN March 7, 1850 in Salt Lake City, Slat Lake, Utah, daughter of RIAL ALLEN and (PEGGY) EVANS. She was born March 2, 1823 in Alstia, Pulaski Co., Kentucky24,25, and died July 4, 1897 in Smithfield, Cache Co., Utah.

Notes for ROBERT OWENS:
Information from Mrs. Cecil Miles, Preston, ID= Mojave, Los Angeles Co, now in Kern Co. After 1860
The following information was taken from Treasures of Pioneer History, Stories of the Morman Battalion, by Kate Carter-ref pages 467 and 468: "Robert Owens" was born July 10, 1818 in Dover, Delaware. He was a son of Edmond Owens and Margaret Tur. (Family researcher found that Margaret's name was Turner instead of Tur) He was called into service at Mt. Pisgah in Company
"B" of the Morman Battalion and made that memorable trek to San Diego with the infantry. Gen. Kearney in praising the battalion said "Bonapart crossed the Alps, but these men crossed a continent." Robert Owens died in Los Angeles Nov. 9, 1883.

Eva Jorgensen believed: His forebears came from Wales to Ireland and from there to America. (3rd Great Grandfather died in London?)

There is a question whether Dover, Kent is in Delaware or Maryland.

38. William Nelson Campbell

Encyclopedia of Missouri History pg. 478-479 Robert A Campbell -

Robert A Campbell, lawyer, legislator and lieutenant Governor of Missouri was born in Pike County, this State. He come of a distinguished patriot family and his ancestors; names have borne high and honorable relations to the country and the State. His great-grandfather, James Campbell, was a native of North Carolina, an commanded a battalion at King's mountain, the famous and glorious battle that did so much for the patriot cause in the Revolution. He was also in the battle of Guilford Courthouse, and saw other active service under General Sumter. His grandfather, William Campbell, born in Virginia, came to Missouri in the year 1818, while it was yet a territory, and was one of the pioneer settlers in Pike County. His father, Rev. James Campbell, who was born in Harrison county, Kentucky, was an active minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for sixty-five years, and was popularly credited with the honor of having united more couples in marriage than other clergyman in the State. Lieutenant Governor Campbell's mother was Sophia (Henry) Campbell, whose father, a citizen of Lincoln County, was one of the forty-one members of the first State Convention of Missouri in 1820, which formed the Constitution under which the State was admitted to the Union.

Robert A. Campbell was educated at Spring River Academy, in Missouri, and Illinois College, at Jacksonville, graduating from the latter institution in 1851. In 1855, he was chosen clerk of the House of Representatives on the Missouri Legislature, and served till 1860. When the State Convention of 1861, called to consider the relation of the State of Missouri to the Union, assembled, he was chosen secretary. In 1868 he was elected to the legislature from Pike County, and served a term of two years. Up to this time he had been a citizen of Pike County, but in 1874 he removed to St. Louis, and in 1876 was elected to the Legislature from that city, and was re-elected in 1878. In 1880 he was elected lieutenant Governor, along with Governor Crittenden, and served for a term of four years. In 1885 he was chosen comptroller of the city of St. Louis, and it was under his administration that arrangements were made for building the new City Hall, and an amendment adopted to the city charter for the better security of an amendment adopted to the city charter for the better security of the city moneys deposited in bank. Before this amendment there were times when a single bank would hold $3,000,000 of the city moneys, with a bon of $5,000,000. After the adoption of it, deposits in one bank were limited to $500,000. Another measure of great benefit to the city that distinguished Comptroller Campbell's administration was the present general system of street sprinkling in the place of the former partial method, which proved so unsatisfactory. After the expiration of his term as comptroller he was appointed judge of the court of criminal correction, and at the end of his term resumed a practice of law, devoting a share of his attention to the management of his extensive and valuable farm near Bowling Green, in Pike County. He was an outspoken and resolute union man during the Civil War and enlisted as private in the Fifth Regiment, United State Reserve Corps, serving afterward as major in the Forty-ninth Missouri Militia, and adjutant of the Fifth Regiment, General John B Henderson's brigade. When the Lindell Hotel was built, in 1874, he was secretary of the company, and controlled the erection and management of it for Mrs. Marmakuke, the owner. He was at one time President of the Louisiana and Missouri River Railroad Company, afterward lead to the Chicago and Alton, and also president of the company that built the St. Louis, Keokuk and Northwestern Railroad, afterward sold to the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. In all the positions of trust to which he has been called he has acquainted himself with honor, and shown himself a Missourian without reproach.

History of Northeast Missouri Pgs 1268-70

Governor Robert Alexander Campbell of Bowling Green, Missouri, who after a long lifetime of public service, has now retired from political and official duties, is well-known throughout the state as a brilliant statesman and an able man. The son of a distinguished family, who have been prominent in public affairs both in Missouri and in other parts of the country, he has fulfilled the promises made by his youth. Not only throughout his life was he a factor to be considered in every political move of any importance but he was also foremost among those who built up the railroads in Missouri. As a lawyer in private practice he had a high reputation, and was engaged in many prominent cases.

Governor Campbell was born September 2, 1832, in Bowling Green, to son of Rev. James W. and Sophia (Henry) Campbell. He spent his childhood in Bowling Green, attending the public schools there. Later he became a student of the Spring River Academy, of Missouri, and graduated from there in 1851. He had not at once settled down into studying for his profession, but after teaching school for one term, accompanied his father to California, where they spent a couple of years ranching and mining. When he returned to the East in the fall of 1854, he took the position of clerk in a store in Louisiana owned by I.N. Bryson & Company. After a year there, he entered the office of Hon. James Boradhead of Bowling Green to study law. In 1860, he was admitted to the bar before Judge Carty Wells who tested him as to his fitness by making him write out the proper form he won license. It was his first triumph in the field. It was done so accurately that the judge complimented him upon it. Hardly had Governor Campbell begun his practice when the Civil War broke out, which changed all his plans immediately. Deciding that for the time being, his country needed him more than the law, he enlisted the first year among the volunteers of Gen. J. B. Henderson's Brigade, and was commissioned adjutant of the command. He was mustered out in 1862, and re-enlisted in the Forty-ninth Missouri Infantry where he was commissioned a major and served intermittently until the end of the war. When not in the field, with his command he performed his duties as secretary of the convention of 1861 on "The Relation of the State of Missouri in the Union."

Resuming his law practice, when the war closed he continued it in Bowling Green and in Louisiana, until 1869. Just at the time the development of the state through the increase in transportation facilities began to be vital issue and Governor Campbell's attention was drawn to it. He became active in railroad building, and was made president of the Louisiana and Missouri River Railway Company, a position which he held until the road was leased to the Chicago and Alton.. He was then associated with other in the building of the St. Louis, Keokuk and Northwestern, and raised the fund for its construction through Pike county. He was making the executive head of the road until it was sold to the Burlington interest in 1877. Three years before this he had moved to St. Louis in order to be in close touch with the railroad's headquarters which had been moved to the city. When in 1877 his active interest in railroad matters ceased he was able to put more time on other matters, and one of the new duties which he soon took up was that of secretary of the corporation which had charge of the Ames estate. In connection with this, he supervised the construction of the Lindell Hotel.

In all three years, Governor Campbell had not been idle in political way, and many honors had come to him. His career in this direction opened in 1855 when he was made enrolling clerk of the seventeenth general assembly. The next year he was appointed journal clerk of the house of the eighteenth general assembly, and soon after that became the first committee clerk ever appointed for legislative work houses on banks, banking, and internal improvement, ex-United States Senator Henderson, chairman of banking committee and Ex- Gov. Robert M Stewart of railroad committee. In 1861, although competing with men of great political prominence, he was elected secretary of the convention called to consider the relations of the state of Missouri to the Union.

In 1856 Governor Campbell had supported Filmore for the presidency and again in 1860 Bell and Everet, but with the issues which that were brought up, he felt that his political ideals were approximated more closely in the Democratic Party. Always energetic and ardent he brought his enthusiasm to his newly adopted party and soon became one of its leaders. In 1868 and again in 1878 was sent to the body from the city of St. Louis. During the thirtieth general assembly, he was speaker pro tem. He was nominated for lieutenant-governor of the state and was elected by the usual Democratic majority.

There are very few types of convention work with which Governor Campbell has not had experience. In 1864, he was a delegate to the national Democratic convention, which nominated General McCellan for president, and again in 1868 when Seymour and Blair were named as the national standard bearers. In 1855, Governor Campbell was elected comptroller of the city of St. Louis and held the office until 1889 when he was appointed by Gov. D. R. Francis, Judge of the criminal court of the city. With the expiration of this service, he retired from public life.

In his legal practice, one of the cases for which Governor Campbell will always be remembered in Missouri history concerned the right to suffrage of several thousand citizens of the state. The war convention of 1865 in the Drake constitution disfranchised all southern sympathizers and enacted a law requiring certain electors to take and subscribe to a "test oath" which forced everyone who wanted to vote to make oath that they had never had active, sympathetic, or other connection with the movement to dissolve the Union. Several people brought suits to test the validity of the act but in each instance, the law was sustained. In the case of Father Cummings, however, brought by Governor Campbell as another "test case" some phases of the question hitherto omitted was presented, and when the case reached the Supreme Court of the United States, the law was declared unconstitutional and void.

Governor Campbell was married November 7, 1866, in Bowling Green to Miss Margaret Blain, a daughter of William W. and Ann M. (Turner) Blain. Mr. Blain was formerly a planter of Albemarle county Virginia, and came to Missouri in one of its early settlers. Governor and Mrs. Campbell had two children, Malcolm henry of St. Louis who is a conductor on the Iron Mountain Railway, and who has had two children James E. and Ruth Gladys, by his wife who was Miss Ella Robinson before her marriage; Ida, who married William T. Chamberlain and died on the farm near Bowling Green march 30, 1910, without issue. The whole family attends the Presbyterian Church.

Governor Campbell's family came originally from Scotland, settling in the country while Americans were still subjects of Great Britain. With the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, Alexander Campbell enlisted in the Continental army, becoming colonel of the Virginia regiment. He fought in the battles of Kings Mountain, Guilford Courthouse, and Cowponies, and was always among the leaders in courage and daring. He died during the progress of the struggle and in 1785, his widow brought the family out of Kentucky. She died there but not before she had seen her children become prominent and respected citizens of the State. One of the sons, Alexander Campbell, studied medicine and practiced his profession in Harrison county during the closing years of the eighteenth century. In 1800, he served in the Kentucky House of Representatives, and three years later moved to Ripley, Ohio. In 1806, he was elected a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, and in 1810 was chosen United States Senator to succeed Senator Tiffin. He served until March 1913. The several daughters in the family married young men of the pioneer families of Harrison County among who was one Stevenson, a grand ancestor of Vice President Stevenson of Illinois. Of one son, Robert his history has been lost and the third son William, founded the Missouri branch of the family from which Governor Campbell, the subject of the sketch sprung. He was married in Kentucky to Jane Gouge, a native of Virginia and of Scotch ancestry. Several years after he had buried his mother in Cynthiana, Kentucky. William Campbell, he immigrated to Missouri with his slaves, and settled near Bowling Green. He pursued the life of a successful planter until his death in 1846, which was followed soon after that of his wife. Their children were William Nelson who died in Mexico, Missouri, and whose family subsequently moved to Oregon; Elizabeth, who married James Orr and raised her family in Pike County; Rev. James W., the father of Governor Campbell; Joana who married Isaac Orr of Pike County, and died leaving several children; Sallie who died in Pike County as Mrs. Natha Swift, and left two children, John F. and Jane; Judge John G. who was judge of the county court, and who died in 1853, leaving three sons James W. who was probate Judge of Pike County died December 1872. Henry C. who died in 1876 while serving as county clerk of Pike county, and Dr. Campbell of Bowling Green; Caroline M. who married John Kincaid and moved to Austin Texas, but who after her husband's death in 1838, returned with her family to Missouri and died a Mrs. Samuel Saxe; Jane who died in Pike County as Mrs. Alexander S. Jackson leaving two sons and a daughter, who moved to Texas where they still reside; Sophronia, who married John I Jackson and reared her family in McLennan county, Texas, where they died; and Dr. Alexander Campbell, who went to Texas as a young man and died there recently in Ennis. John F Swift, the son of Sallie Campbell, went to California in 1852, in the company with his Uncle James W. and Governor Campbell, going overland with mule teams. Meeting with success both in his finances and in his profession as lawyer, he soon became a prominent man in the state. At one time he was elected a member of the state legislature by the Republican Party, and was at one tiem a candidate for governor. While Harrison was president of the United States he ws made a member of the commission of three -- Denby, Angell, and Swift to consider the subject of the Chinese Exclusion and to report finding, and negotiated a treaty of exclusion of Chinese emigrants. Later President Harrison made him our ambassador to Japan where he died in office. Aside from his political talent, Mr. Swift was a man of literary genius, as asserted by Bret Harte, who declared that of the three humorous writers: Twain, Miller, and Swift, the last was the greatest genius. He wrote two books "Going to Jericho" and "Robert Greathouse" the plot of the latter is laid in the mining regions of California.

Pike County, Missouri People Places and Pikers Pg. 111
Robert Alexander Campbell, a Democrat, (September 2, 1832 to April 2, 1926) was born in St. Louis and lived in California before coming to Louisiana in 1854. He studied in the law offices of James O. Broadhead and was admitted to the Bar in 1860. A major in the 49th Missouri Volunteer Regiment, Campbell also served as secretary of the 1861 Missouri Constitutional Convention. He was elected to the state legislature from Pike County in 1868 and again in 1878, and represented St. Louis there in 1880. Campbell was elected lieutenant governor in 1880 served with Governor Crittenden. In 1889, he was made Judge of the Criminal Court of St. Louis and lived there until his death.

Dear Cecilia Elliott -

I haven't been able to ascertain which of the several Campbell families in Audrain is yours. I looked at the 1850 census (index), in which you said you found your William Campbell; I was hoping to figure out in which part of the county he lived.

There is a W.N. Campbell in the 1860 census that I think could be the same one. There are some discrepancies in the information but age wise, the families seem to almost agree with the 1850 recrod. I looked only at a book index and I may not read it the same way the compiler did.

1850 --

Campbell William 52 M KY
Mary A 44 F PA
William 16 M MO
James A 13 M MO
Elizabeth 9 F MO
Benjamin 7 M MO

1860 --

Campbell, W. N. 61 M TN
M. (or N.) A. 54 F MO
E. A. 17 M MO
Benj. 16 M MO

I could not find William Cambell in the oldet cemetary in Mexico but many of the tombstones are missing and the record is very incomplete. The present city cemetary was used beginning about 1870 and there are two William Campbells listed, both with death dates well after 1900. Since he is not likely to have lived until the, I am disregarding them for now. There are probably 130 identified cemetaries in Audrain county and we have checked the known burials in the ones in which we think he could have been interred, but so far with no success.

In the 1860 census index in Wm. Campbell, aged 23, with Ann 20, Charles 4, and Louisa 9 months. He could very well be the William who was listed as 16 in the 1850 census and probably the son of William.

The only promising lead I have come up with are these abstracts from the Probate Records Journals. Some of the records are almost illegible but the following is the gist -

Probate Records Journal 1857 - 1897 Vol A pag 199 Feb. 21, 1861. Wm. N. Campbell died intestate. had property in this state. John Gregg appointed administrator.

Probate Records Journal 1838-1861 Vol 1 pg 633 Mar. 4, 1861. Ordered by the court that John Gregg, Admr. of the estate of Wm. N. Campbell, dec'd., rent out the mansion house in Mexico and that he sell privately two cows and calves at not less than fifteen dollars each.

Same vol. Mar 4, 1861 pg 638. Court allowed payment of an account presented by Joseph D. Morris of $79.07.

Probate Records Journal Vol. 2 1861-1866 pg 14 Several accounts presented and payment allowed, one by James Campbell vs. the estate of Nelson Cmapbell fo r$257.

Same vol. May 12, 1862 pg 26. Jesse hall asks court to order deed be delivered for certain real estate. At this point, a land description is given, but not of the property in the city of Mexico. NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 Sec. 29. The SE 1/4, SE qr Sec 30, SW 1/4 SW 1/4 Sec 29 & SE 1/4 of NW qr. Sec 29, T51, R 5 W in Audrain and East half of Lot 3 of the NE 1/4 of Sec and in T50 R5W in Montgomery county.

Page 27 Admr. tells court deed has been executed and again the land is described.

Same vol July 21, 1864, Webster Mills, pltf. said that dec'd had entered into contract to convey to him the following real estate in Audrain SE NW Sec 36 Tp. 51 R 6 - 40 acres for $200. Court was satisfied sum had been paid and ordered admr. to execute the deed to said land.

Same vol. Nov 15, 1864 pg 234. Final settlement was made by Jno. Gregg but heirs were not listed here.

All the land described here would be in the southeast part of the county, very near to the Montgomery county line. What is strange is that I don't find any Campbells in the records for that part of Audrain, although there are several buried in the Vandalia cemetary. There is an original land entry for land in Montgomery county for a William N. Campbell Mar. 8, 1853 6-50-5 (section, township, and range).

The probate journal is a day to day diary of proceedings in the Probate court. If you think this coudl be your William Campbell, I suggest you write to the Probate Clerk, Audrain County Court Hourse, Mexico, MO 65265 and see if you can get a copy of the final settlement. Knowing the ddate, they should be able to find it for you. You didn't tell us much, and you may know already that this is not the right person.

In answer to your question about cemetary surveys, most of the cemetaries in Audrain have been canvassed and I have checked many of them for William or Mary A. Campbell.

I am sorry that I have not been able to do more with this. Perhaps if you can give us more information, we can try again.

We think it helps to have an ancestry chart to work with, and we hope you will send us yours showing the generations back to your 3rd great grandfather, William Campbell. If you do not object to our publishing your chart, please indicate by writing "permission to publish" at the bottom of the chart and sign or initial it.

Also, we invite you to submit a query for our newsletter. There are no restrictions as to how many questions you may ask. Our newsletter goes to a great many large libraries in the US and our membership includes persons from many states.

Sincerely,

(Mrs.) Frances E. Quisenberry.

Subjects: Campbells
Dear Angie: Did you receive the email O.K., I had sent it to your other email address. First I want to apologize for being so slow to give you what I have on Elizabeth. Just because I am looking for more, doesn't mean that I can't give you what I have. Arlene (bobkat) found A Wm. Campbell family in census records, that meets the criteria of our Elizabeth's family - Mother Mary and younger brother Benjamin. Also found a web page of a descendant of Benjamin, Dee Dee. She and I have been going over everything, discussing the probabilities. We both believe that this is the correct family. I am going to insert The Descendant Report of James Campbell, that I put together from the one that I got from Dee Dee. He would be the Great Grandfather of Elizabeth. I am going to send (by mail) you copies of census records, land purchases, the Bio of Robert A. Campbell, the nephew of Elizabeth's father William N. (Nelson) Campbell. On page one it shows James Campbell (no place of birth) as his Great Grandfather, However, I found on page 6 that it shows Alexander Campbell (from Scotland) as the Great Grandfather. Both of these ancestors are shown to have fought in the same battles etc. during the revolutionary war. (possible that both are correct =James Alexander/ Alexander James who knows. That is something to researh more. Also sending you the front page of the filing of wm. Campbell's Will, by his son-in-law, John Gregg. It shows the date of the filing and lists his heirs (Heirs of Henrietta Gregg, Wm. L. Campbell, Elizabeth Ann Campbell, Benjamin Campbell). Dated Feb. 21, 1861. Elizabeth's mother, Mary, is not shown so she must have preceeded Wm. in death, sometime after July 14th 1860, when the census was taken and prior to Feb 21, 1861, as did Wm. Campbell. I am not sending the other pages of the filing, as it only shows the list of misc personal items & property that was sold to settle the estate and who bought them. (ie. a barrel for .45) I do not have a final distribution of the will. The census records (1830) shows Wm in Pike Co, as does the 1840 census. This places the family in Pike County where Elizabeth was born. They do not list names but in comparing them the number of children and age range for that time frame fits the family found on the 1850 census. I believe the ages on Elizabeth and Benjamin are in error on the 1850 census. But wrong ages on census is not uncommon, depends on who gave them the information. The 1860 census shows their ages more fitting to what we have for Elizabeth -17(Birth date would have been 1843). The 1850 census shows Wm. M. Campbell and the 1860 shows Wm N. The M. on the 1850 census I believe is a probable misunderstanding by census taker & should have been N. Benjamin's descendant has N. (Nelson). This blows the story of her being adopted at age 7 (according to Mamie's letter) by Gen Sterling Price. I have never been able to connect her to Price, even with the help of a Missouri State Historical Library Researcher (census records etc.). It is possible I suppose that after her parents death, during the Civil War that she may of been taken in as a ward by a confederate general, but who? She did apparently go west with her Campbell family, as Wm L., her brother, was in Salt Lake City at the same time as Elizabeth. His wife had twins there the same year that Elizabeth had Margarette (1865). I have some other things that Dee Dee sent, but they are obits on some of Elizabeth's siblings, and all of that information is in the Descendant Report that I am including with this email. I hope that I generally covered everything. Let me know your mailing address so I can send the copies for you.Your Cousin, Merla

3. WILLIAM N. (NELSON)3 CAMPBELL (WILLIAM2, JAMES1) was born 1798 in Kentucky or Tennessee, and died Bef. February 1861 in Mexico, Audrain, Missouri. He married MARY WARD. She was born Abt. 1806 in Pennsylvania, and died 1860 in Audrain Co., Missouri.

Notes for WILLIAM N. (NELSON) CAMPBELL:
He was the Uncle of Lieut.-Gov. Robert A. Campbell. Taken from 'The Biographical of Cuivre Township on Simeon C. Adams, M.D.' It also stated about Robert A. Campbell "who, in all probability will be the next Governor of Missouri". In checking the history of the Governors of Missouri, Robert was never elected Governor.

It is possible that William was a planter like his father. He had several land tracts and a mansion in Mexico, Missouri, according to his will.

Children of WILLIAM CAMPBELL and MARY WARD are:
i. CATHERINE W.4 CAMPBELL, b. Unknown; d. Bef. February 21, 1861, ; m. WALTER S. ADAMS, Abt. 1844, Audrain Co., Missouri; d. Union Civil War Prison.

Notes for CATHERINE W. CAMPBELL:
"Walter S. Adams was married in Audrain Co., Missouri to Miss Catherine Campbell, daughter of Nelson Campbell, an uncle of Lieut. Gov. Robert A. Campbell." From "History of Audrain Co. Missouri".

In the request to administer the estate of William N. Campbell filed by John Gregg, it is names as the Heirs of Catherine W. Adams. Therefore it is assumed she had died before February 21, 1861.

Notes for WALTER S. ADAMS:
"Sided with the South during the Civil war. Captain of a company Col. Jones. He was captured during the war and died in a northern military prison". He could have had his liberty on condition of foreswearing the cause he had sworn to defend, but preferred to meet death with honor and in the line of his duty."

Taken from a biographical sketch of Simeon C. Adams M.D. History of audrain County, Missour. st. Louis: National Historical Co. 1884.

ii. MARGARET J. CAMPBELL, b. Abt. 1828, ,,Missouri; m. (1) ISSAC L. GIBBS, September 29, 1847, Audrain Co., Missouri; m. (2) THOMAS HENDERSON, Bet. 1849 & 1854; b. ,,Missouri.

Notes for MARGARET J. CAMPBELL:
It is stated in the obituary of W.M. Gibbs (Margaret's son by her first marriage to Isaac Gibbs) that W. N.
"crossed the plains with his parents when he was a boy and come to this country in 1864".

In the obituary of John A. Henderson (Margaret's son by Thomas Henderson) that John A. was born in Audrain Co. Missouri, May 29, 1857 and that he crossed the plains with his parents at the age of 7 years. That they settled near Silverton Oregon and later moved to Lane County and setttled near Lancaster, Oregon. In this obit

I have not been able to find documentation of Thomas and Margaret Henderson in Oregon. In the obit of W.N. Gibbs it is state that he is survived 2 half-brothers, J.A. Alexander and Dude Alexander. Did Thomas die and then Margaret marry a man by the name of Alexander? Were they in Oregon by 1964. Margaret's brothers were in Calif and wash before coming to Oregon.

This information came from Dee Dee Elliott.

iii. HENRIETTA CAMPBELL, b. Abt. 1830, ,,Missouri; m. JOHN GREGG, 1849; b. Abt. 1820, South Carolina; d. February 12, 1897, Mexico, Audrain, Missouri.

Notes for JOHN GREGG:
Weekly Intelligencer, Mexico Mo, 18 Feb. 1897. pl c5

Of County Recorder

Peacefully and without an enemy in all the world, John Gregg Passed away to the World beyond at his home in this city Friday night, February 12th.

Mr. Gregg although advanced in years enjoyed good health up to a few weeks before his death. He sustained a severe attack of grip, which later became complicated with pneumonia. For some days befoer his death it was apparent that his condition was extremely critical. His devoted wife was dangerously ill at the same time and is still far from well, although considered out of danger.

Mr. Gregg was one of the landmarks of Audrain. He came to the country before it was organized. 1831, and settled near the present Callaway line. He was a native of South Carolina and was born in 1820. In 1849, Mr. Gregg was maried to Miss Henrietta Campbell of Pike County, who survives him. Ten children wer born to them, four of whom are dead. Those surviving are Mrs. J. D. Collard, Sedalia, James D. Gregg of Moberly, Mrs. L. W. Sanford of Olathe, Kansas, B.F. Gregg, Kansas City, William and Charles V., Mexico. Mrs. Gregg moved from his farm to Mexico in 1860, and engaged in merchandising. In 1870 he was elected county recorder and such was the faithful and courteous discharge of his duties that he was re-elected in 1874 and again in 1878.

At all times and under any circumstances Mr. Gregg was courteous gentleman. He was conservative and just in his opions and was a sincere friend. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon by Rev. Wallace of the Prebyterian Church. the pall bearers were B.L. Locke, George LaForce, Junde San Edwards, John Bickley, B. R. Cauthorn and J. D. Morris.

Notes for WILLIAM L. CAMPBELL:
Went to Montana (Virginia City, Madison Co) He engaged in Mining and freighting with his brother Benjamin. Nephew, George W. Adams, went with them. It is possible that they were there at the same time frame that Elizabeth and Nephi were in King Co., Montana.

William and Benjamin were later in California and then to Washington State, by 1877 to 1879 they were in Thurston County. By 1880 they were in Lane Co., Oregon.

Information from http://home.bendcable.com/deedee/fam00089.htm


Obit in The Times, Junction City, Jan 5, 1928, page 5 col. 3. Mr. Campbell was a freighter in the early days and made many trips withox teams across the plains to Texas and Calif. In 1865 he settled in San Bernardino, Calif and lived there until 1873. Settled in Blachly, Or, farming and cattle raising. In Wash one year about 1890. Home on Katherine and Eight st in Junction City. 3 soms: S.N. of Eugene; Charles of Springfield; W. A. of Junction and brogher B.C. Campbell of Corvallis. 9 grandchildren 12 great-grandchildren.

Notes for MARGARET ANNIS PAYNE:
Obit in The Junction City Times, Nov 27, 1919 pg. 1 col. 1. Obit says she was born in Tennessee and moved to Missouri at an early age, to California, coming from there to Oregon in 1873. Leaves 3 sons, Abe campbell of Linn Co.; Charles Campbell of Greenleaf and Jeff Campbell of Junction City. Death Cert. says fathers name was David Payne.

v. JAMES A. CAMPBELL, b. Abt. 1837, ,,,Missouri.
vi. ELIZABETH ANN CAMPBELL, b. April 16, 1843, Texas, Pike Co., Missouri; d. June 2, 1913, Bruneau, Owyhee Co., Idaho; m. (1) ROBERTSON; m. (2) NEPHI WILLIAM OWENS, Abt. 1867, Helena, Lewis & Clark, Montana; b. March 24, 1844, McCracken Co, Kentucky; d. October 3, 1927, Bruneau, Owyhee Co., Idaho.

Notes for ELIZABETH ANN CAMPBELL:
Some info from James McMahan-he had made a trip to Nevada, Missouri. Said he ran across some information reference Elizabeth "born pre civil war somewhere in Illinois? (Illinois is in error, she was born in Missouri) Lived with a civil war general during the war."

1840-1850 Census records indicate that Elizabeth had 3 older sisters and 4 brothers/ 3 older and 1 younger (Benjamin). He was shown only on the 1850 and 1860 census, Audrain Co. The 1830 and 1840 census records showed the family of William N. Campbell living in Pike County, those census records only showed the number of persons in the family and sex and age range. That is where I got the number of older brothers and sisters. The 1850 census showed the names of two of her older brothers, William and James A. and listed her younger brother, Benjamin. The Mother's name is shown as Mary A.

Census records also indicate that in 1860 she was 17 and her parents were still alive at that time. Some relatives said that the stories they heard was that she had been adopted at a young age. An old record, paper written, Aunt Caddie's- said that she was a Ward of Sterling Price. With the above information I would think that she was a Ward of the General during the war, not actually adopted, and apparently older when her parents died then was first thought.

The census records were located by Arlene Davis.

Notes for NEPHI WILLIAM OWENS:
These notes are from Merla Becker: Nephi was born in Kentucky in March 1944. Robert and Catherine had moved from Illinois to Kentucky after Isabelle was born, and then after Nephi's birth went to Ohio. Robert was with Catherine and children in Ohio prior to Sept 21, 1844, he and Catherine joined the church there at that time. After they joined the church, they moved to Nauvoo, (this information I found on page 385 of "Heart Throbs of the West" by Kate B. Carter). I found Nephi listed, at the age of three with his mother, Catherine Owens, and his older brother, Jarome (Jerome), (the three girls had died prior to this time) listed in the 2nd Group, Fifth Ten that set out from Iowa in the summer of 1847, and arrived in Salt Lake Valley Oct 2, 1847. The first of the wagon train arrived on Sept 29, 1947 and the last of the train arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on Oct. 2, 1847. (This information is from "Heart Throbs of the West" by Kate B. Carter Page 431). Robert was not with them at the time because he was serving in the Mormon Battalion which he joined in early 1846. NOTE: in reference to Mormon migration from Ill. to Salt Lake City, Captain Edward Hunter said the Second hundred departed June 17, 1847 and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley Sept 29, 1847.

Nephi with his parents and surviving siblings are shown on the 1850 Population Schedule in the County of Iron in Southern Utah.

Family Sheet Information from is Deer Lodge Mont Census 1870; Yakima Census 1885 & 1887; and the1900 Fed. Census, also information from Fay Hawkins, Alma Inez, Lois Hicks, Lucille Owens and Mamie Jackson.

The following notes were compiled by Arlene Davis: Nephi is listed on the 1860 census for Utah in Great Salt Lake Co, Union, page 265. He also is there in 1862. 1870 Montana Census, Deer Lodge County, Deer Lodge Twp. lists Nephi, age 26; Elizabeth, age 28; Margaret, age 6; Ann, age 2 and Catherine, 8 months.

The family was in Porter's Prairie Pct., King County, Washington Territory 1880 Census. Nephi was not listed. Elizbeth was "Head of Household", a farmer. In 1885 they were in Yakima County, Washington. Nephi was listed as a teamster. Sarah Margarette Glidden and her 3 children were also living with them, Annie and Catherine were not. By the 1887 Washington Census they were still in Yakima County, but Sarah was no longer listed, although her children were. In the Yakima County 1888 Tax List, Nephi is listed in Yakima (now Union Gap), $240.00. By January 1889 the family was in Idaho. In the 1900 Idaho Census, Owyhee County, Bruneau Twp., Elizabeth was in Grand View, Owyhee County and listed again as "Head of Household", with her sons, Robert (a stockman) and Elmer, and Polly. Nephi was in another precinct, but the cards were missing. By the 1920 census Nephi was in Bruneau living alone, and Elmer was living with his sister, Josephine Randall and her family.

vii. BENJAMIN C. CAMPBELL, b. September 9, 1844, ,,,Missouri; d. November 29, 1929, Corvallis, Benton Co., Oregon; m. ANNIE E. DARROW, August 8, 1878, Olympia, Thurston Co., Washington; b. February 26, 1860, Chico, Butte Co., California; d. April 29, 1929, Corvallis, Benton Co., Oregon.

Notes for BENJAMIN C. CAMPBELL:
Went to Montana (Virginia City, Madison Co) He engaged in Mining and freighting with his brother William L. Nephew, George W. Adams, went with them. It is possible that they were there at the same time frame that Elizabeth and Nephi were in King Co., Montana.

William and Benjamin were later in California and then to Washington State, by 1877 to 1879 they were in Thurston County. In 1880 they were in Lane Co., Oregon.

Information from Dee Dee Elliott

His Obit says that Ben came to Oregon at age 14 with an Uncle. He died at the Henry Cabell Ranch near Corvallis, Oregon in 1929.

E-mail from Merla on September 20, 2002 -

3. WILLIAM N. (NELSON)3 CAMPBELL (WILLIAM2, JAMES1) was born 1798 in Kentucky or Tennessee, and died Bef. February 1861 in Mexico, Audrain, Missouri. He married MARY WARD. She was born Abt. 1806 in Pennsylvania, and died 1860 in Audrain Co., Missouri.

Notes for WILLIAM N. (NELSON) CAMPBELL:
He was the Uncle of Lieut.-Gov. Robert A. Campbell. Taken from 'The Biographical of Cuivre Township on Simeon C. Adams, M.D.' It also stated about Robert A. Campbell "who, in all probability will be the next Governor of Missouri". In checking the history of the Governors of Missouri, Robert was never elected Governor.

It is possible that William was a planter like his father. He had several land tracts and a mansion in Mexico, Missouri, according to his will.

Children of WILLIAM CAMPBELL and MARY WARD are:
i. CATHERINE W.4 CAMPBELL, b. Unknown; d. Bef. February 21, 1861, ; m. WALTER S. ADAMS, Abt. 1844, Audrain Co., Missouri; d. Union Civil War Prison.

Notes for CATHERINE W. CAMPBELL:
"Walter S. Adams was married in Audrain Co., Missouri to Miss Catherine Campbell, daughter of Nelson Campbell, an uncle of Lieut. Gov. Robert A. Campbell." From "History of Audrain Co. Missouri".

In the request to administer the estate of William N. Campbell filed by John Gregg, it is names as the Heirs of Catherine W. Adams. Therefore it is assumed she had died before February 21, 1861.

Notes for WALTER S. ADAMS:
"Sided with the South during the Civil war. Captain of a company Col. Jones. He was captured during the war and died in a northern military prison". He could have had his liberty on condition of foreswearing the cause he had sworn to defend, but preferred to meet death with honor and in the line of his duty."

Taken from a biographical sketch of Simeon C. Adams M.D. History of audrain County, Missour. st. Louis: National Historical Co. 1884.

ii. MARGARET J. CAMPBELL, b. Abt. 1828, ,,Missouri; m. (1) ISSAC L. GIBBS, September 29, 1847, Audrain Co., Missouri; m. (2) THOMAS HENDERSON, Bet. 1849 & 1854; b. ,,Missouri.

Notes for MARGARET J. CAMPBELL:
It is stated in the obituary of W.M. Gibbs (Margaret's son by her first marriage to Isaac Gibbs) that W. N.
"crossed the plains with his parents when he was a boy and come to this country in 1864".

In the obituary of John A. Henderson (Margaret's son by Thomas Henderson) that John A. was born in Audrain Co. Missouri, May 29, 1857 and that he crossed the plains with his parents at the age of 7 years. That they settled near Silverton Oregon and later moved to Lane County and setttled near Lancaster, Oregon. In this obit

I have not been able to find documentation of Thomas and Margaret Henderson in Oregon. In the obit of W.N. Gibbs it is state that he is survived 2 half-brothers, J.A. Alexander and Dude Alexander. Did Thomas die and then Margaret marry a man by the name of Alexander? Were they in Oregon by 1964. Margaret's brothers were in Calif and wash before coming to Oregon.

This information came from Dee Dee Elliott.

iii. HENRIETTA CAMPBELL, b. Abt. 1830, ,,Missouri; m. JOHN GREGG, 1849; b. Abt. 1820, South Carolina; d. February 12, 1897, Mexico, Audrain, Missouri.

Of County Recorder

Peacefully and without an enemy in all the world, John Gregg Passed away to the World beyond at his home in this city Friday night, February 12th.

Mr. Gregg although advanced in years enjoyed good health up to a few weeks before his death. He sustained a severe attack of grip, which later became complicated with pneumonia. For some days befoer his death it was apparent that his condition was extremely critical. His devoted wife was dangerously ill at the same time and is still far from well, although considered out of danger.

Mr. Gregg was one of the landmarks of Audrain. He came to the country before it was organized. 1831, and settled near the present Callaway line. He was a native of South Carolina and was born in 1820. In 1849, Mr. Gregg was maried to Miss Henrietta Campbell of Pike County, who survives him. Ten children wer born to them, four of whom are dead. Those surviving are Mrs. J. D. Collard, Sedalia, James D. Gregg of Moberly, Mrs. L. W. Sanford of Olathe, Kansas, B.F. Gregg, Kansas City, William and Charles V., Mexico. Mrs. Gregg moved from his farm to Mexico in 1860, and engaged in merchandising. In 1870 he was elected county recorder and such was the faithful and courteous discharge of his duties that he was re-elected in 1874 and again in 1878.

At all times and under any circumstances Mr. Gregg was courteous gentleman. He was conservative and just in his opions and was a sincere friend. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon by Rev. Wallace of the Prebyterian Church. the pall bearers were B.L. Locke, George LaForce, Junde San Edwards, John Bickley, B. R. Cauthorn and J. D. Morris.


iv. WILLIAM L. CAMPBELL, b. December 2, 1835, ,,,Missouri; d. December 30, 1927, Springfield, Lane Co., Oregon; m. MARGARET ANNIS PAYNE, December 25, 1856, ,Audrian Co., Missouri; b. December 3, 1836, ,,Tennessee; d. November 20, 1919, Junction City, Lane Co., Oregon.

Notes for WILLIAM L. CAMPBELL:
Went to Montana (Virginia City, Madison Co) He engaged in Mining and freighting with his brother Benjamin. Nephew, George W. Adams, went with them. It is possible that they were there at the same time frame that Elizabeth and Nephi were in King Co., Montana.

William and Benjamin were later in California and then to Washington State, by 1877 to 1879 they were in Thurston County. By 1880 they were in Lane Co., Oregon.

Information from http://home.bendcable.com/deedee/fam00089.htm


Obit in The Times, Junction City, Jan 5, 1928, page 5 col. 3. Mr. Campbell was a freighter in the early days and made many trips withox teams across the plains to Texas and Calif. In 1865 he settled in San Bernardino, Calif and lived there until 1873. Settled in Blachly, Or, farming and cattle raising. In Wash one year about 1890. Home on Katherine and Eight st in Junction City. 3 soms: S.N. of Eugene; Charles of Springfield; W. A. of Junction and brogher B.C. Campbell of Corvallis. 9 grandchildren 12 great-grandchildren.

Notes for MARGARET ANNIS PAYNE:
Obit in The Junction City Times, Nov 27, 1919 pg. 1 col. 1. Obit says she was born in Tennessee and moved to Missouri at an early age, to California, coming from there to Oregon in 1873. Leaves 3 sons, Abe campbell of Linn Co.; Charles Campbell of Greenleaf and Jeff Campbell of Junction City. Death Cert. says fathers name was David Payne.

v. JAMES A. CAMPBELL, b. Abt. 1837, ,,,Missouri.
vi. ELIZABETH ANN CAMPBELL, b. April 16, 1843, Texas, Pike Co., Missouri; d. June 2, 1913, Bruneau, Owyhee Co., Idaho; m. (1) ROBERTSON; m. (2) NEPHI WILLIAM OWENS, Abt. 1867, Helena, Lewis & Clark, Montana; b. March 24, 1844, McCracken Co, Kentucky; d. October 3, 1927, Bruneau, Owyhee Co., Idaho.

Notes for ELIZABETH ANN CAMPBELL:
Some info from James McMahan-he had made a trip to Nevada, Missouri. Said he ran across some information reference Elizabeth "born pre civil war somewhere in Illinois? (Illinois is in error, she was born in Missouri) Lived with a civil war general during the war."

1840-1850 Census records indicate that Elizabeth had 3 older sisters and 4 brothers/ 3 older and 1 younger (Benjamin). He was shown only on the 1850 and 1860 census, Audrain Co. The 1830 and 1840 census records showed the family of William N. Campbell living in Pike County, those census records only showed the number of persons in the family and sex and age range. That is where I got the number of older brothers and sisters. The 1850 census showed the names of two of her older brothers, William and James A. and listed her younger brother, Benjamin. The Mother's name is shown as Mary A.

Census records also indicate that in 1860 she was 17 and her parents were still alive at that time. Some relatives said that the stories they heard was that she had been adopted at a young age. An old record, paper written, Aunt Caddie's- said that she was a Ward of Sterling Price. With the above information I would think that she was a Ward of the General during the war, not actually adopted, and apparently older when her parents died then was first thought.

The census records were located by Arlene Davis.

Notes for NEPHI WILLIAM OWENS:
These notes are from Merla Becker: Nephi was born in Kentucky in March 1944. Robert and Catherine had moved from Illinois to Kentucky after Isabelle was born, and then after Nephi's birth went to Ohio. Robert was with Catherine and children in Ohio prior to Sept 21, 1844, he and Catherine joined the church there at that time. After they joined the church, they moved to Nauvoo, (this information I found on page 385 of "Heart Throbs of the West" by Kate B. Carter). I found Nephi listed, at the age of three with his mother, Catherine Owens, and his older brother, Jarome (Jerome), (the three girls had died prior to this time) listed in the 2nd Group, Fifth Ten that set out from Iowa in the summer of 1847, and arrived in Salt Lake Valley Oct 2, 1847. The first of the wagon train arrived on Sept 29, 1947 and the last of the train arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on Oct. 2, 1847. (This information is from "Heart Throbs of the West" by Kate B. Carter Page 431). Robert was not with them at the time because he was serving in the Mormon Battalion which he joined in early 1846. NOTE: in reference to Mormon migration from Ill. to Salt Lake City, Captain Edward Hunter said the Second hundred departed June 17, 1847 and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley Sept 29, 1847.

Nephi with his parents and surviving siblings are shown on the 1850 Population Schedule in the County of Iron in Southern Utah.

Family Sheet Information from is Deer Lodge Mont Census 1870; Yakima Census 1885 & 1887; and the1900 Fed. Census, also information from Fay Hawkins, Alma Inez, Lois Hicks, Lucille Owens and Mamie Jackson.

The following notes were compiled by Arlene Davis: Nephi is listed on the 1860 census for Utah in Great Salt Lake Co, Union, page 265. He also is there in 1862. 1870 Montana Census, Deer Lodge County, Deer Lodge Twp. lists Nephi, age 26; Elizabeth, age 28; Margaret, age 6; Ann, age 2 and Catherine, 8 months.

The family was in Porter's Prairie Pct., King County, Washington Territory 1880 Census. Nephi was not listed. Elizbeth was "Head of Household", a farmer. In 1885 they were in Yakima County, Washington. Nephi was listed as a teamster. Sarah Margarette Glidden and her 3 children were also living with them, Annie and Catherine were not. By the 1887 Washington Census they were still in Yakima County, but Sarah was no longer listed, although her children were. In the Yakima County 1888 Tax List, Nephi is listed in Yakima (now Union Gap), $240.00. By January 1889 the family was in Idaho. In the 1900 Idaho Census, Owyhee County, Bruneau Twp., Elizabeth was in Grand View, Owyhee County and listed again as "Head of Household", with her sons, Robert (a stockman) and Elmer, and Polly. Nephi was in another precinct, but the cards were missing. By the 1920 census Nephi was in Bruneau living alone, and Elmer was living with his sister, Josephine Randall and her family.

History of Mary Tiffany -

My mother, Mary Tiffany was born in Berk Hemsted, State of Connecticutt in the year 1777, June 13. She went with her father to Cortland in the same State and lived there until about the year 1800.

I am not certain whether she came into New York or Pennsylvania when she left her native state. I do not know exactly the time she was married to Aldrich, her first husband, nor when she was married to my father, but her first marriage must have been about the year 1798 and her second about the year 1804, as near as I can learn.

After she was married to my father, she labored faithfully to help support her family. She was a woman of great patience and strong mind and good character. She never allowed her children to keep bad company or use bad language or contend with each other or anything that could be called bad behavior in anywise.

She raised a family of eight children and lived to see them all men and woman grown and able to care for themselves. She ued to say that if she could live to see this , she would be willing to die. But after she joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, she said that if she could live to see Nauvoo and hear the instructions from the authorities of the Church that she would be willing to leave this world. This she also lived to see.

She was baptized in Litchfield, Medina County on the 23rd day of June, 1842 by Elder John Hughes. She came to Nauvoo with me in 1843 or rather to Knox County, Illinois where we stayed till the next year and moved to Nauvoo in 1844, on the 9th of May. Here she enjoyed herself well in having instructions from the servants of God from time to time. She was smart and active as women generally are at 40, until she was taken with her last illness.

She was a woman of rather less than middle size, fair complexion, hair and eyes dark. She had double teeth all around, many of which were sound at her death. She was remarkably strong constitutioned and never kept her bed 3 days at a time after she was 16 years of age, at which time she had a slight attack of consumption, of which she was curred by a skillful physician.

A few days before she was taken sick, she walked to Almira's, distance of 1 1/2 miles apparently as smart as when she was young. She was taken with a violent fever and was dranged considerably for several days, but was rational before she died.

I called on Dr. Burnheisal to attend her but he said it was extremely doubtful whether she would recover. After 3 days she did not appear to be in any pain, but slept most of the time until the 9th day of her illness. On the night of her death, myself and my first wife Jane, and my sister Gerua were with her. My sister was also sick at the time and was not able to help take care of her and my wife and I took turns in attending to her in the night. She appeared to feel much better and wished me to comb her hair. I did so and she talked cheerfully and told me to lie down and rest. My wife was lying down on a bed by the fire. We had prepared this bed to lie on when she did not need our assistance.

I accordingly went and lay down and as I did so my wife raised up and said she thought my mother did not breath natural, upon which I got up again and went to her bed and thought she was asleep but behold she did not breathe again. She appeared to got to sleep before I lay down and she lay precisely as she did and looked perfectly natural. Sept 17, 1845

Thus ended the days of Mary Tiffany. She lived a life of toil and hardship but she ended her days in peace.

My mother's first husband was named Aldrich by who she had two children, a son and a daughter. Her son's name was Sylvanus and her daughter was Azuba, the history of whom will be given on another page. These and another, her 3rd child Cynthia and her 4th child Samuel were in the State of New York at the time of her death. She had not heard from them for many years. (I have never heard from any of them up to this date, 1878).

We were obliged to keep her for 3 days before she was buried because there were eleven buried the day my mother was 4 left unburied that be been dead for several days.

I tried to get someone to make her coffin but could not and had to make one myself and being quite out of health at best, I was not able to go to her grave. She was taken and buried by Wm. Huntington who was the sexton at that thime in Nauvoo.

The doctor I employed to attend on my mother in her last illness was John Burnheisel. He is still living in Salt Lake City at this date, Jan. 17, 1877. He is old but still hale and hearty.

In Lehi, Utah most of the settlers, at this time would live within the fort and would go out and work adjoining fields, until the had become familiar enough with the local Indians to declare them friendly enough to obtain farm lands of their own. It was here that James Gough brought his new wife to their first home, a little adobe house which was located within the Old Fort Wall in Lehi, Utah. By today's standards they had little in the way of comforts, the house had a dirt floor and they used pumpkins as chairs. Baking was done in a 'dutch oven' for over seven years until they were able to get a stove.

Around 1868 with the threat from the Indians becoming less of a concern, the family moved into a little dugout in the side of a hill. Today the location of the home is 6th North and Center Streets in Lehi. Within three weeks after the birth of their third child the family had to relocate. Samuel Briggs, who owned the property, had decided to build a molasses mill at that location.

James Gough was able to obtain about ten (10) acres of land on the north side of Dry Creek, which later came to be known as the New Survey. The Gough's were the first settlers in that area. Here James built a small sod house, unable to obtain windows or doors, quilts were used to cover the openings. This was a lonesome spot in which to dwell, with the coyotes providing nightly music.

Charlotte kept an axe by her bed for protection. A bundle of sage brush served as her broom on the dirt floors. Wood was brought to the house from the hills, in order to conserve what wood they had, she would sit in bed to keep warm while knitting stockings for the family.

James worked away from the family most of the time, he worked as a blacksmith, a teamster (horse driver). Often time bartering for the use of ox teams or horses with which to plow his land. He assisted in the community building of canals, diversion ditches, little church house, and other town buildings. He also worked on building the Salt Lake Temple. By trade James was a blacksmith. He helped to build the first saw mill in the Dry Creek area of Lehi, which was owned by Joe Smith. The first lumber cut in Lehi was done at this mill.

Biographical Sketch of Samuel Briggs
As related by his son, Azer Richard Briggs

Samuel Briggs was born June 20, 1826, in South Clifton, Nottinghamshire, England, son of William Briggs and Jane Hays.

He worked on his father's farm until he was thirteen, at which time he sought employment in the local mines. He was sent down into the pit, which unknown to those in charge, was filled with poisonous gas. As soon as they were aware of the gas, rescuers were sent down to remove the workers. They carried my father out, presumably dead. He recovered, but that was the last time he ever looked forward to mining as an occupation and a livelrhood.

Father later went ro work for the railroad for a short time. In the group of men with which he worked there were many tobacco users. With the vote of the majority it was decided that those who did not smoke should furnish tobacco for those who did. My father used tobacco for a short time because he said, "Before I'll pay for tobacco for that gang, I'll take up the habit myself." He did not remain on that job for long, and that was the only period of his life that he used tobacco.

A little later on he sought work with a farmer, and the first question he was asked was, "Can you plow a straight furrow?" Father replied, "Yes, sir!" The first task assigned him was that of plowing. " I had to make good with what I had told him," my father related. "And plow a straight furrow I did, and it has been my endeavor ever since to 'plow a straight furrow.'"

Father heard the Mormon Elders preaching on the streets in England when he was a young man. He was of that type that if there was anything new or different from that of the old, he was willing to listen. After hearing two Elders preach in the vicinity of Bolesover, five miles from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, the knowledge came to him that it was true. He followed up meeting these elders and kept gaining more wisdom by conversing with them. As a result, he was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In his latter life, I have heard my father speak of his conversation saying, "It was just borne upon my soul that the things tose men were saying was correct. I have never had occasion to doubt it from that day to this."

I have heard him sing a few lines of a song which he learned after joining the church, and which conveys some of the things which conveys some of the things which prevailed in the church he formerly embraced. The song went like this:
When I was a little boy to Sunday School I went,
With my Bible and my Testament I used to be content
They taught me to believe all things, whatever the Books would say
But many of the things I did read, they said were done away.
So to Zion we will go, to Zion we will go.
We'll leave these old sectarians, and to ZION WE WILL GO!

He was the fourth child of a family of ten and the only one of them to join the Church. Two brothers, William and Edward, later came to America, settling in Clay Center, Nebraska, where their families still reside.

On the 13th day of August, 1849, he married Hannah Dean of Derbyshire, England. They immigrated to America, sailing on the ship Zethland in the year 1849, arriving at New Orleans on Christmas Eve, after an eventful and stormy voyage, taking five weeks and two days to cross th Atlantic Ocean. They were the parents of five sons: Samuel, William, John, George, and Joseph.

In January, 1850, he moved up the river to St. Louis, Missouri, staying there fifteen weeks, then on to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he spent the winter.

He migrated to the Upper Crossing of Keg Creek in the spring of 1851 where their son Samuel was born. During the spring and summer he worked industriously and steadily to support his family and to get the means to finance the journey to Salt Lake City. He also cut lumber for and made and outfit with which to cross the plains. After the woodwork was completed, it was discovered that there was no blacksmith in that region who could do the necessary work of furnish material to iron the wagon. However, their faith was not shaken, for at that time Apostle Ezra T. Benson visited the colony and bade them be of good cheer, promising them that all who desired would be able to make the journey to Utah that season.

This promise was fulfilled, for in a short time a blacksmith arrived, bringing the necessary tools and iron to complete the wagon.

In 1852, he and his wife and son, Samuel, together with a company of Saints, commenced their journey across the plains, traveling by ox team over the trackless desert, endangering their lives many times being subjected to the wild savages and stampeding buffalo.

Before reaching Salt Lake City, many were stricken with cholera and died; nevertheless, their journey was made in safety and they arrived in Salt Lake City the 7th day of October, 1852, and they moved to Lehi, Utah, that same month.

HIS LIFE IN UTAH: He bagan at once to work for John R. Murdoch and continued for a short period, after which he aquired land by homestead and purchase and began farming for himself, a vocation he followed the remainder of his life. He endured all of the hardships common to the pioneers of his day. At times the indians were on the war-path, and on many occasions he furnished a team and an outfit to others who were not so well equipped, in order that they might go and protect the settlers from indian deprediations.

He was a man of great faith, which was displayed on many occasions, one of which I will relate: My father frequently went into the west mountains after wood, which was their only source of heat for domestic use, as coal had not at that time benn introduced for such purposes. On this particular occasion he was alone, gathering his winter supply of fuel. Indians were on the war-path, but he thought perhaps they were not in that vicinity as he had gone there before without molestation. He had just commenced gathering the wood when he saw three indians coming directly toward him, and he was perfectly visible to them. Father felt that there was no help for him this side of heaven -- so he knelt down and prayed that the Lord would cause that something should happen to change their course of direction. When he arose from his prayer he found the indains walking away from him and he knew that his prayer had been answered. He finished gathering his wood and returned to his home unharmed, and with a strong feeling that a greater power than his own had protected him and spared his life.

I, Azer R. Briggs, his son, was personally present at his bedside when human efforts had failed to relieve him of his illness, and his chances for recovery seemed small. At the request of father, the Elders were called to administer to him. Father immediately was healed and got up out of his bed. At that time he said, "My boy, isn't that a testimony to you?"

On numerous occasions I have heard father relate how he lost his stock and was unable to find them after a long search. Again he had faith that the Lord would help him. He asked the Lord to show him in some way where his stock was located. The following night he would be shown in a dream where they were, and the next morning he was able to go to the exact spot.

My father was a great friend of Porter Rockwell. The Prophet Joseph Smith had tols Porter Rockwell that if he would wear his hair long the enemy would have no power over him. Many times father braided his (Porter's) hair. Father related that he saw a man come to his place and tell Porter he was going to kill him. Porter stood in the doorway of father's place; the man fired at him three times, and each bullet missed Porter and went in the door sill. The man, after his third attempt failed, turned and fled. The words of the Prophet had been verified in this instance, an in many other instances.

He was part owner in one of the first thrashing machines of the vicinity. He was a thrifty, industrious citizen, being identified with such commercial enterprises as ZCMI, Salt Lake City, the Provo Wollen Mills, and the People's Cooperative Institution of Lehi.

He was upright and honest in all his dealings and his unflinching devotion for that which he believed to be right won him many friends. He was a lover of home and children, and always found time for family prayer. He was interested in genealogical and temple work, and successfully held the office of Teacher, Elder, Seventy, and High Priest.

In the fall of 1869, he married Emma Thomas, who bore him five sons and seven daughters: Emma, James William, Ada, Elizabeth Jane, Mary Ann, Frances Harriet, Eugene Samuel, Azer Richard, Warren Thomas, Laurence Hays, Elen and Mable.

After a well-spent life he passed away in Lehi, Utah, October 22, 1898.

Emigrant's Guide

Emma Thomas Briggs, daughter of William and Elizabeth Jones Thomas, was born at Langatteth
Brecken, Wales, the 7th day of July 1849. She was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints in the year 1859, having been born in the Church, her father being
president of the branch for several years before he came to America. As a girl she was "hired out" to help the scanty income of her father who worked on a farm, and whose means were limited.

In 1868 her father and mother emigrated to America with two of the youngest children, William
and Richard, leaving George, Harriet and Emma in Wales until such time as he could earn and
send money for them to join the family in America. One year later, in the spring of 1869, Emma
with her brother and sister sailed for America on the ship, Minnesota, with a company of Saints
under the direction of Elias Morris, who at that time was returning from a mission to Great Britain.
She came west on the first train carrying Mormon converts across the continent, arriving in Lehi
the latter part of June of the same year.

Emma was married to Samuel Briggs August 1869, in the Endowment House at Salt Lake City, and
from this marriage were born twelve children, five sons and seven daughters. This good woman
was a faithful member and diligent worker in the Church, a Relief Society teacher for over
twenty-five years and was particularly interested in genealogical and temple work. She zealously
endeavored to impress the necessity of temple work upon all of her friends, and especially upon
her posterity. She was blessed with a cheerful disposition; to know her was to love her. She was
always willing to sacrifice her own pleasure to make others happy. -Mary A. Kirkham

Sarah Jane Empey

Sarah Jane Empey was born June 11, 1855 at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire, England. Her father, Jesse Empey, was a very good industrious, honest, and thrifty citizen. While overseeing his sheep, he braided hemp into strands for the factory to make straw hats. All that he made by doing this he put into a savings for his journey over the ocean. He and his wife had made plans for going to America, after having the principles of the Gospel taught to them by the Elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Sarah Jane emigrated to the United States of America with her parents, brother and sister, the following year after her birth. As soon as the Empey family were able to get wagons and provisions, they started to cross the plains. There were fifteen other families that accompanied the Empey family. The journey was very difficult and strenuous abed Sarah Jane's father became ill and died in the month of September, 1856. According to Don H. Smith of 610 Elm Street, Pulman, Washington, who is a Church Researcher, has copies of the diaries of William Woodward and Levi Savage who were sub-captains in the Willie Handcart company. Both give the date of the death of Jesse Empey as the 22nd day of September, 1856. He died on the south side of the North Platte River, roughly thirty miles east of Chimney Rock in the state of Nebraska.

Sarah Jane's mother and sister Annie spent an evening cording wool for quilts and knitting stockings for themselves and for others.

There was a small ratio of food that was given to each one, because the wagons were so crowded, that only enough could be carried to see them through their journey. Mrs. Empey went without food many times to enable her children to have the necessary food.

After reaching the Salt Lake Valley, Sarah Jane's mother married Daniel Collette in 1857. They had one daughter, Eliza Ann, born to them. Sarah Jane's mother died at Plain City, Utah, the 31st of August 1859, and was buried in Smithfield, Utah.

After Sarah Jane's mother died, Sarah Jane's father's brother, Shadrick Empey took the three children and prepared a home for them and his family in Lehi, Utah. Annie married Samuel Southwick shortly after the home was completed and this left Sarah Jane among five boys. Her uncle and step brothers treated her as if they were their very own. She was so tiny and loveable. Sarah Jane was granted practically the same as her stepbrothers.

She has a fair education and was a very talented woman, especially when it came to needlework.

Sarah Jane's brother, James, found it more difficult to get along with his uncle and stepbrothers. James was somewhat older than Sarah Jane, and found it more difficult to adjust to his new environment. He considered himself too old to go to school, so his uncle had him herd the cows. He used to hid in the bushes when he saw the Indians coming, and watch them as they departed with his fathers cattle.

One day, Sarah Jane overheard her uncle and brother quarreling, James threatened to leave his uncle and go out into the world. James' uncle only laughed because he didn't think James was sincere, but Sarah Jane felt that her brother was serious so she she decided to go with him. When she asked James to take her with him he refused and told her that the journey was too dangerous, and that she had better stay and help her aunt. Sarah Jane was determined though she prepared to follow him. James could walk very fast and it was not long before Sarah Jane became extremely tired. Just at that moment, when Sarah Jane thought she could go no further, James stopped and began looking around. Sarah Jane immediately threw herself into some nearby bushes, and lay there breathlessly. Pretty soon she heard the sound of approaching horses. She looked up just in time to see one of the Indians grab her brother and ride off with him. She lay there in the bushes for what seemed like ages, sick at heart and too afraid to leave her place of safety. At last, however, she regained her courage and started back home. There she told her uncle about James' fate. He began searching for James immediately, by tracing the horses tracks he followed the tracks to a small river. By the bank of the river, Sarah Jane's uncle could tell there had been a struggle because of the upturned dirt and large amounts of blood present there. No one was able to find out for sure what had happened, but Sarah Jane was of the opinion that her brother had been scalped and thrown into the river.

In the year of 1875, Sarah Jane was married to William Briggs, on April 19, in the endowment house in Salt Lake City. She lived in Lehi, Utah with her devoted husband until July 13, 1884, then they moved to Lewisville, Idaho. At Lewisville they lived on an 160 acre farm. On this land they built a beautiful brick home. Thirteen children were born to them.

The first child was Sarah Ann, on the 13th day of January 1876. She was born at Lehi, Utah. She married Frank Goody of Lewisville, Idaho. They had one child.

The next child was a boy, William Amos, born the 13th of November 1877 at Lehi, Utah. He married Clara Jane Goodwin of Menan, Idaho.

Another son, John, was born the 31st of May 1879, at Lehi, Utah. He married Ina Nevada Davis.

A daughter, May, was born the 1st day of May 1882 at Lehi, Utah. She married Orren Grant Fillmore.

Samuel was born the 4th day of February 1884 at Lehi, Utah. He married Elizabeth Kinghorn of Lewisville, Idaho.

On the 25th day of November 1885, a set of identical twins were born at Lewisville, Idaho, Ella and Effa. Ella married William Elmer Horton. Her twin sister Effa died on the 5th day of November 1905, of pneumonia, which she contracted while attending school at Ricks College, at Rexsburg, Idaho.

Another daughter, Hannah Maud, was born the 23rd of February 1888 at Lewisville, Idaho. She married George Alma Berrett of Menan, Idaho.

Grace was born the 30th of April, 1890 at Lewisville, Idaho. She married Abraham Ballantyne of Rigby, Idaho. They were divorced and later on she married Benjamin Hamilton Nokes of Pocatello, Idaho.

Jennie was born the 18th of April, 1892 at Lewisville, Idaho. She married Peter LaVern Kadsen of Rigby, Idaho.

On September the 2nd, 1894, another boy was born, James, but he died the 6th of September. He lived only four days.

The last child to be born to this couple, was Jesse. He was born the 22nd of November, 1897 at Lewisville, Idaho. He married Alta Frazier of Woodruff, Utah.

After the older boys had become strong enough to take care of the farm, Mr. Briggs placed the responsibility of the farm on their shoulders. He bought a share in the Utah Idaho Sugar Company and went to work for them. In the year of 1910, the Briggs family moved from the farm into a still lovelier home in Rigby, Idaho. In this home Mrs. Briggs spent many happy hours with her devoted husband and her lovely family. Mrs. Briggs was very fond of working in her flowers and garden. Almost every Sunday she picked flowers and placed them in the church, during the spring and fall.

She was a very active woman, and during the early days of the community she befirended many less fortunate than she. She was an ardent worker and member of the Latter-Day Saint church.

Mrs. Sarah Jane Empey Briggs' husband was killed in an automobile accident the 12th of January 1922, near Roberts, Idaho. Before that time, all of the children had married and moved to various places.

Mrs. Briggs spent the remainder of her life caring for her home, visiting her children, taking care of the sick and needy, working in her garden, and working in the church. She died January 16, 1935, and was buried beside her husband in the Pioneer Cemetery of Lewisville, Idaho.

A mass grave and plaque commemorate the fate of the Willie Handcart Company. Poorly supplied and traveling far too late in the season, the company was trapped by a winter storm as it approached South Pass in mid-October 1856. Before help arrived from Salt Lake City, about 67 of the 404-member party had starved or frozen to death. In terms of numbers of deaths, the combined Willie and Martin handcart companies disasters were the greatest ever suffered by any group traveling the trail. (AT Rock Creek on the Lewiston road about 8 miles southeast of Atlantic City. Access via dirt roads. Make local inquiry for directions and road conditions.)

1819 MARRIAGE: 8 Apr 1819, Peacham, Vermont Md Lydia Holmes Letter from State of Vermont,
Public Records Division, dated Sep 15, 1971 to Eldon Walker
1832: BAPTISM: John was baptized first in 1832, Archives Sheet lists 1 Apr 1834. In the Spring of
1832 when John joined the Church (LDS), his wife and family did not agree. He went to Stanstead
Plains, Canada and helped with the Church there.
OCCUPATION: Carpenter and something of a machinist. In 1850 and 1860 Census of Utah he was
listed as a farmer
1832 John went to work at Stanstead Plains, (Quebec) Canada where he had charge of a big
manufacturing company putting in improved machinery. He returned in 1834
1834: Returned from Stanstead, the family left for Ogdensburg, New York where they found a small branch of the Church (Some of Brother Kimball's first converts.) During 1835 children who were 8 or upwards were baptized by Elder Abraham Palmer.
Ordained a High Priest (see descrepancies)
1838: In the Spring of 1838 the Walkers and 8 other families left Ogdensburg for western Missouri. The families were: Clydes, ?. When they arrived in Caldwell County, Missouri, they encountered mobs. They were surrounded by a mob of about 40 people with blackened faces. They hooted and yelled, and acted more like demons than human beings. They ordered Lydia out of the wagon in the deep snow, searched their wagons, took from them their arms and ammunition, pointed their guns at their children and cursed and swore in the most frightful manner. They continued their journey until they came to a settlement on Shoal Creek, five miles away from Haun's Mill. John went to meet with other brethern to work out what course they should take. Mobs came in and tried to massacre all but a few escaped. John was shot in the arm, he returned the shot but found it impossible to reload. He then ran down the bank of the creek, which afforded very little, if any, protection. He escaped by hiding in a hollow place behind a slab. The family left thinking him dead. It was two weeks before he was able to get back to his family.

He had been helping others who were worse off than himself, doing the best he could with his left hand. He had to hid from place to place, and came near losing his arm which had been neglected while he had been trying to help others. Through the aid of a young officer, who had been forced to join the military to save his own life, the family had been led to a friendly neighborhood where they found shelter from cold storms of winter. Later his son William found him and brought him back to the family.
Ordained a Seventy by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young (at Adams Co., Ill)

4. John3 Walker (Simeon, #8) was born on 20 Jun 1794 at Peacham, Caledonia, Vermont. He married Lydia Holmes (see #5), daughter of William Holmes and Lydia Adams, on 18 Apr 1819 at Peacham, Caledonia, Vermont. He married Elizabeth Walmsley, daughter of William Walmsley and Mary Slater, circa 1846 (they separated about 1850). He married Caroline Luce, daughter of Ephraim Luce and Lydia McComer, on 22 Feb 1851 at Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah (she left John shortly after their marriage). He married Abigail Sanford on 4 Mar 1851. He died on 18 Oct 1869 at Farmington, Davis, Utah, at age 75. He was buried on 19 Oct 1869 at Farmington Cemetery, Farmington, Davis, Utah.

He joined the Mormons in the spring of 1832. As his wife and family did not agree with his decision, he went to Stanstead Plains, Canada where he had charge for a large manufacturing company, putting in improved machinery. While he was gone, his wife, Lydia, made an investigation into Mormonism, and was herself converted. He returned home in 1834, and the family left for Ogdensburg, New York, where they stayed for a while. In the spring of 1838, the family left for western Missouri. Following the Haun's Mill massacre, in which John was shot in the arm, the family moved to Quincy, Illinois. He moved to Nauvoo, Hancock, IL, in 1841. He moved to Utah in 1850.

Submitter:Cindy Pincock SpencerSubject:Pincock
Family HistoryMessage:John Pincock of Euxton, Leyland Parish, Lancashire County, married Mary Marsden , 20 Aug. 1815. They emigrated to Utah as converts to the Mormon religion in 1841. John's father, James was married first to Margaret Lang and second to a widow, Ellen Woods Bolton who was John's mother. We have not been able to find the birth of James who died in Euxton and was buried there 30 Jan 1825. A transcription of the tombstone indicates he died at age 72. A calculated birth year is 1753. We have not been able to find a birth record in BTs or PRs for Leyland, Heapy, Euxton, Whittle le Woods or Chorley. Family tradition has it that James' father was a John Pincock of Heapy, married to a Betty. We have not been able to find a John Pincock marrying a Betty in Heapy or having children there. These people were weavers, bobbin makers and farmers. Any information regarding any Pincocks in any time period in this area of Lancs would be helpful. Information leading to dates and place of birth for James or marriage of a John and Betty would be especially welcome. We are also interested in tracking the descendants of James Pincock who did not emigrate to Utah and may still be in Lancashire. Two sons were William and Edmund. James also had daughters Rachel, Elizabeth, Margaret and Mary. When John Pincock and Mary Marsden emigrated they left behind a duaghter, Ann. Any leads to the family PINCOCK would be appreciated.
