Charity HOLDAWAY was born on 26 May 1824 in Tennessee, Hawkins County. She was endowed on 20 Jan 1846. She died on 31 May 1896. She was sealed to parents on 28 Apr 1943.
Parents: Timothy HOLDAWAY Jr. and Mary Elizabeth TRENT.

She was married to Joseph OUTHOUSE on 6 Feb 1846 in Illinois, Nauvoo. She was sealed to spouse on 6 Dec 1943. Little is known of Charity Holdaway Outhouse. She was the daughter of Timothy and Mary Trent Holdaway, born 26 May 1824 in Hawkins County, Tennessee. Timothy and Mary left Tennessee in about 1833 and went to Putnam County, Indiana, and from there they moved from place to place trying to better their conditions. Timothy, the father, died in 1835, probably in Illinois, for in November of 1837 Mary, his widow, married William Lunceford in St. Clair County, Illinois. The family joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the 1840's, though we do not have the exact for most of them, and went to Nauvoo, Illinois. According to family records Charity married Joseph Outhouse 6 Feb 1846 in Nauvoo. Early in 1852, the 4th Company of emigrants went from Nauvoo to Winter Quarters, Nebraska.
The following is quoted from a journal of John Spiers on file in the Historian's Office, as given in the Journal History of the Church of Dec, 31, 1852:
"Some of the members of a company of emigrants, 225 in number, which left Winter Quarters, Nebraska, about June 10th in charge of Captain Joseph Outhouse, crossed the Missouri River June 10th. Apostle Ezra T. Benson there mnet us and we organized a Company of fifty wagons for crossing the Plains. Joseph Outhouse chosen Captain. Company subdivided into tens with a Captain over each ten. All went well for a few days when Outhouse became offended over something and declared he would no longer lead. It was agreed that the captains should serve as a committee to the control the order of travel, the oldest man to preside. When they were about half way across the feed for the animals became scarce so it was agreed they should travel in small companies, each ten forming a travelling company. All went well. The Indians we met were friendly and we arrived in the Salt Lake Valley Sept. 6, 1852."
According to the Deseret News of Sept. 18, 1852, the Company record listed for Joseph Outhouse the following: 2 adults, 1 wagon, 4 cows, 1 yoke oxen. Also listed in the Company was Charity's mother with her second husband, William Lunceford, and family and he had 8 adults, 6 children, 4 wagons, 9 horses, 5 cows, 10 yoke oxen, 9 sheep.
Joseph and Charity did not settle in Utah. Just when or if they went to California with her mother and family is not known. The Luncefords settled in San Luis Obispo, California, but Joseph and Charity were in Sacramento for it was there that their only child and son, John William Outhouse was born 26 Nov 1856, and there he grew up. Just when Joseph Outhouse died is not known.
Of Charity's son, John William Outhouse, his granddaughter Mrs. May Hiatt of Jerome, Idaho writes:
"Dear Grandfather was a kind and gentle man who loved his family so very much. He saw the girl he was to marry in a dream and when he met her on the street, he recognized her. He pursued, courted her and became his bride. This was in Provo, Utah, where Grandma lived. (He married Annie Martha Mitchell, daughter of Thomas Josiah and Ann Butler Mitchell, on 24 Jan 1880) Grandfather was a carpenter by trade and built several homes in Provo. He moved to Murray and was one of the carpenters that built the high smoke stacks on the Murray smelter. He also worked for the Miller-Cahoon Lumber Yard but the dust from sawing the lumber, after a few years, was too much for his lungs and he went to work for the railroad as a switchman and later as Foreman for the railroad crew until he died."
"Grandfather spoke the Spanish language and also sang while he played the Spanish guitar."
"Later in life, after being inactive in the Church, grandfather attended Church again and had a desire to have the Temple work done. The record of his Church ordinations had been destroyed in a fire. He went through the process of having all the ordinations bestowed again, even to that of baptism, and then went to the Salt Lake Temple for his endowments and had Grandma and the children sealed to him. He seemed so happy and satisfied to have been able to accomplish this work himself."
John and Annie were the parents of three children - William Silas who died at age 24, leaving a widow Mary Larson Outhouse; Mattie May who died at age 36 who had married Nels Hans Berge, leaving seven orphan children as her husband had passed away; and Lenore Christie who died at age 38, who had married Henry Bateman and left a family. When Mattie May died, John and Annie took their orphaned grandchildren into their home and this is what one of them, May Hiatt says: "Our grandparents filled with love the empty place in our lives after our parents both died while we were all young children. They were so very dear to us."
John William Outhouse died 8 Oct 1934 at Payson, Utah, and his wife Annie Martha Mitchell Outhouse died 26 Feb 1929 at Murray, Utah.
Mrs. Hiatt has the transport certificate of the corpse of Charity Holdaway Outhouse from Mercer (near Murray) to Lehi, Utah, by train, on June 1, 1896. Date of death May 31, 1896.
Children were: John William OUTHOUSE.

He was sealed to spouse on 23 Jul 1852 in the Salt Lake City, Utah LDS temple. He was married to Mary Elizabeth HAWS. David Oscar Holdaway, son of Timothy and Mary trent Holdaway, was born 8 Mar 1832 in Hawkins County, Tennessee. He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 15 Jun 1845 and was with the saints during their troubles in Illinois. His father died in 1835 and in 1837 his mother married William H. Lunceford in Illinois. David and his younger brother Daniel came to Utah in the Edward Hunter Company, arriving in Salt Lake 13 October 1850. David married Mary Elizabeth Haws, daughter of John and Martha Masters Haws. To this union were born three children: David William born 4 Nov 1851, Martha Angeline born 2 Jan 1853 and George Timothy born 4 Dec 1854.
David's wife Mary Elizabeth died 23 Dec 1854 and in December 1855, he married Elizabeth Amanda Prater, widow of John Huntsman whom she married in Bonaparte, Iowa, on 7 June 1846. She had two little girls, Sarah and Julia. She was the daughter of Thomas Prater and Sarah Kinsworthy and was born in in Brownsville, Jackson County, Indiana. David and Elizabeth started their married life with five little children, David's three and Elizabeth's two. To them were born four children, Thomas Teancum 19 Aug 1857 in Provo, Mary Melvina 24 June 1860 and Joseph Alma 25 Sept 1862 in Mt. Pleasant, and Elizabeth Rachel 24 Aug 1865 in New Harmony, all in Utah.
David and Elizabeth's first home was in Provo where David and his brother Shedrick Holdaway built the first threshing machine in Provo and owned and operated the Provo Foundry. Shedrick was a member of the Mormon Battalion and brought $3,000 worth of gold dust from California. He married Lucinda Haws, cousin of Elizabeth, David's first wife, and they went back East and brought the first carding machine back to Utah. Shedrick and David laid out the Union Canal across Provo Bench. They had no instruments of any kind but Shedrick said David walked ahead and he laid it out by the brim of David's hat.
According to Florence Holdaway Higginson Jensen, granddaughter of David, as she remembers him, David was six feet tall; well proportioned, had black snappy eyes, and a keen sense of humor. When he laughed he bubbled over with mirth; always had a good clean joke; spoke with a southern drawl; wore his hair rather long and had a Van Dyke beard, southern style. He was fond of pure-bred horses and always had a fine team.
His wife, Elizabeth Prater, was a little woman. She looked so tiny beside David who was a six-footer. In her younger days her hair was red, according to Mrs. Jensen. She was very ambitious, always on the run; always busy. She worked in the Relief Society for years; she loved poetry and always had a lovely flower garden.
David was a member of the 44th Quorum of Seventies. Being obedient to the Priesthood and those in authority over him, he was called to help settle several different places. Probably being a good mechanic and carpenter and having a keen sense of humor was the reason for these calls. He first was called to Mt. Pleasant where they lived in a dugout and here their last child, Elizabeth Rachel was born, and here, with others, suffered the hardships of pioneer life. Mrs. Jensen tells this incident which happened while they were in Mt. Pleasant. David had been away most of the summer working on a canal, leaving grandmother to take care of the children. They had plenty of vegetables from the garden and corn bread but had no white bread all summer. Their little son Thomas saw the freight train coming a long way off and ran to tell his mother. She hurried and made a fire and when they got there, she made hotcakes for everyone in the neighborhood. Thomas, being a little boy, climbed all over the freight wagon and discovered a can of honey that was leaking. He went home and got a bucket and caught a bucket of honey. It was a treat to have honey but Tommie ate so much that he couldn't eat honey for years after.
After helping settle Mt. Pleasant, david moved his family back to Provo, but soon a call came from Brigham Young and they went to "The Muddy" and to St. George. After two years they returned to Provo, the land of their choice. The family was now grown up and most of them married.
In 1887 the call came again and David with his two sons, Thomas and Alma, with their families, went to the Ashley Valley to help settle it. It took nine days to make the trip with a team and wagon. The first thing they did was to go to the mountains to put up a sawmill to get out the timber for their new homes. Thomas was in the sawmill business for a number of years. David, being a carpenter and cabinet maker, made the caskets to bury the dead while his wife Elizabeth, being the President of the Relief Society, lined and covered the caskets. The pioneer spirit was to help each other in time of need and distress, and this family was always there to help.
In Vernal, David helped build sawmills, canals, took an active interest in civic affairs, acting as Justice of the Peace and Probate Judge. His hobby was raising fruits and vegetables, along with the help of his wife. They used to send back to Iowa, their home state, for their garden seed. They were the first to raise celery in Vernal. They made sauerkraut by the barrel just to give their neighbors.
After spending many happy and eventful years in Vernal, David and wife, with his son Alma and family moved back to Provo. Having lived a good, useful life in helping others and fulfilling the prophecies wherein is said "He that would be great in the Kingdom of Heaven, must be a servant of all." David passed away 13 March 1907, aged seventy-five years. His wife Elizabeth passed away 30 Jan 1920 at 92 years of age.
Thomas and family stayed in Vernal, In their early days there he had been active in their home dramatics taking the leading role. To make a living he did most everything. He was a village blacksmith, and did work for everybody in the valley. He, with James Griffin owned and ran a sawmill in the mountains. The mills hands took lumber for wages; then they would trade the lumber to the co-op for produce.
For some time Thomas worked at Ouray among the Indians. He said that when there was a death among the tribe, the family of the deceased would get upon their huts and howl all night. This was the way they communicated with the Great Spirit. There was no dentist in those days in Vernal, so Thomas pulled the people's teeth, pierced the little girl's ears, made the stage settings for their theatre shows. When the Uintah reservation was opened for white people to take up land, Thomas, with his crew of surveyors, settled some of the people on their claims.
In 1907 Thomas and family moved back to Provo. In 1911 his wife passed away.
In later life, Thomas lived with his children. He had a sunny disposition, had a keen sense of humor and always saw the funny side of life. He loved the Book of Mormon and read it on an average of once a year.
He passed away 25 Sept 1945 and was buried in Provo City Cemetary in the family plot.
