209 | A dear little black-eyed girl with dark hair was born in Holstein, Switzerland on September 12, 1802 to the John Casper Degen home. Although her mother died while she was very young (when Elizabeth was 4), at age 14 Elizabeth immigrated to America from Switzerland in 1816 with her father and step-mother, as well as the other children. The voyage on the ocean departed from Amsterdam, Netherlands (Holland) it took 17 weeks and they suffered from the scarcity of provisions and water. The trip was delayed because of unusually calm weather, increasing the cost of the voyage. Elizabeth was bound out to serve to work to pay for their passage across the ocean. She worked 3 years and 10 months to repay the debt. Her father died when she was 18. Elizabeth grew to be an ambitious woman skilled in the art of spinning, weaving, housekeeping, and the making of butter and cheese. These accomplishments fitted her happy married life with her husband, Martin, who was a farmer. They were married 20th of March, 1827 and lived in comfort near their parents. In 1840 LDS Missionaries Elisha H. Davis and H. Dean brought the Gospel to them. They accepted it, feeling that it was truly from the Lord. After building his parents a comfortable home, Martin Bushman took his family, leaving their loved ones in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and joined the body of the Church in Nauvoo, Illinois. This was a journey of 1,000 miles with horse and wagon during which they experienced many trials and hardships. Arriving in Nauvoo they were happy to meet the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum, whom they learned to love and respect. They rented a farm from Edward Hunter and they prospered. Their family was happy and comfortable while they took their children to see the Temple. The outstanding thing the children remembered was the twelve oxen which held up the baptismal font. Leaving their crop in the field, they took what few things they could put on a wagon which was pulled by a light team, and left their loved home once more. It was a long dreary journey through Iowa. Winter soon came upon them and they suffered greatly from hunger and cold. Two of their little girls died on this journey (Elizabeth age 9 and Esther "Hatty" age 1). It was very hard for the sad parents to leave their babes on the dreary prairie--one without even a coffin. They stopped at Hiland Grove in western Iowa for a little while to procure more provisions and a yoke of oxen. In May 1851 they started out again. After traveling another thousand weary miles, they arrived in Salt Lake City They rested there for one week, then they traveled for thirty miles to Lehi. Here they secured land on which they could at last build themselves a permanent home. Here they could live in peace and comfort and be happy working in the church for which they had made the long trek. It is through the faith and courage of our grandparents that we are privileged to live in West enjoying the blessings and opportunities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Re-baptized on 30 June 1876. Also endowed on 21 March 1863 at Endowment House. Elizabeth was originally a member of the Mennonite church until she joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. | Degen, Elizabeth (I127481)

210 | A Mormon Pioneer- Traveled from Denmark with the Hans Peter Olsen Company. Was married four times. I would like to add that even though he was small in stature, he was a spiritual giant. Having served as Bishop of the Logan 7th Ward for over 20 years and he was instrumental in bringing many converts to the church from his native land. Christian John Larsen was short of stature, 5'2", tall and rather slender, weighing about 130 pounds. He always stood erect and had a proud carriage, wore a goatee beard that he kept well trimmed. He wore and admired exceptionally nice clothing. | Larsen, Christian John (I113663)

212 | A short History of Abigail Howe taken from the May 1955 Juvenile Instructor Abigail was born in Hopkinton, Massachusetts on 3 May 1766. She was descended from intelligent, able, and often illustrious, frequently titled ancestry, both in England and America. The Howes loved books. Nabby was one of seven sisters. All were gently vivacious and attractive. They sang duets, folk songs, and were in the choir. Nabby had blue eyes and wavy brown hair with ringlets across her forehead. At nineteen she married John Young, a Revolutionary War soldier. Nabby was a born reformer and many mothers asked her to visit and counsel their daughters when they were about to be married. She lived much in a covered wagon, moving from place to place and bearing eleven children. All but one were converted to the church and remained faithful. The family lived in Hopkinton for 16 years. Abigail died at the age of 49 when Brigham was 14 years old. He said of her that no woman ever lived who was better. “My mother taught her children to honor the name of the Father and Son and to reverence the Holy Bible.” She said, “Read it, observe its precepts, and apply them to your life as far as you can. Do everything that is good, do nothing that is evil, and if you see any person in distress, administer to their wants. Never suffer anger to arise in your bosom, for if you do you may be overcome by evil.” | Howe, Abigail Nabby (I96109)

213 | A short life sketch of Joseph Roy Hilton, Senior His parents and siblings, Uncles and Aunts called him Joe Roy, but professionally and in the church he was called Joe. His wife, Wanda called him Joe too when she wasn't calling him some tender nickname like Dear, Sweetheart, Man-O-Mine, etc. He was named after two uncles who were serving in the military during World War I, one Joseph and one Roy. When he was born on April 16, 1919 his parents thankful that both were alive and well named him Joseph Roy in celebration. Joe Roy was the second child, both sons, of Eugene Hilton and Ruth Naomi Savage. They went on to have a total of seven sons before finally producing a daughter as the eighth child. Joe Roy was born in Lehi, Utah and lived in Utah, Idaho, Arizona and finally California where his father settled. Joe Roy carried newspapers for the Oakland Shopping News and received their scholarship for his good service. He was also an Eagle Scout, one of the first in California. He was a Sea Scout and sailed on San Francisco bay with his brothers in their small sailboat named Itsy Maru. Joe Roy was always a sober young man, but had many friends and was pretty normal growing up in the depression years. His father got a doctorate in Education from the University California and was employed with the Oakland School System and so provided a good living for the large family. Joe Roy liked mechanical things, he tinkered with and repaired cars and helped his father with modifications and additions to their home. He went to the University of California and received his Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a Phi Beta Kappa award. Joe Roy's father was a local leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was a bishop of the Dimond Ward and president of the Oakland Stake for many years during which time it was the largest stake in the church. So it was not unexpected that Joe Roy served a mission. He was called originally to Germany, but due to the Second World War hostilities he was sent to the Central States Mission. While in the Mission Home in Salt Lake City he met a fellow missionary named Wanda Fullmer. In those days it was acceptable for those in the mission home to socialize and Joe Roy and Wanda went on a couple of dates. They both went to the same mission but never crossed paths during their missionary service. But on the way out they sat together on the train and Joe Roy remembered Wanda singing so beautifully that his heart was hers from then on. They were married shortly after his return. Wanda had come home after 18 months of service as a Sister Missionary and had gone to her home in Sugar City, Idaho, where she felt rather provincial and unsophisticated. When Joe Roy was released after 2 years he traveled straight to see Wanda even before coming home to Oakland. While there he proposed to her and she accepted, feeling like a commoner who had a prince fall in love with her and was going to take her to his castle and a life of royal privilege. He went home and told his parents, they all drove out to Salt Lake City to meet Wanda who came with her mother for the wedding which occurred on October 28, 1941. Back in California Joe Roy and Wanda set up housekeeping with Joe Roy studying at UC. He had been in ROTC and so was able to get a commission in the Navy. He was fortunate enough to get an assignment in Naval Intelligence based on Treasure Island in San Francisco bay, so he was able to come home every night and sleep in his own bed for the duration of the war. A wonderful blessing when so many were enduring such hardship and danger. They had their first child, Joseph Roy Junior and second, Stephen Homer and third, Susanne before Joe Roy graduated from UC. They lived in Berkeley and Albany while a student and when Joe Roy was employed by Standard Oil Company of California in San Francisco they moved to the East Bay suburb of Pleasant Hill into a new house in the subdivision named Sherman Acres. While there Joe Roy was called to be the first bishop of the newly formed Pleasant Hill ward. He went on to be bishop for 9 years, after his release he held the position of Priest's adviser for a short time then a member of the High Council for a couple of years. He became counselor to President Norman Creer and in time was called as the President of the Walnut Creek Stake, a position he held for 11 years. They moved from Pleasant Hill to Walnut Creek and remained in their second Walnut Creek home until they moved to Provo, Utah in 1979. He and Wanda eventually had 7 children, Joseph Roy Junior, Stephen Homer, Susanne, Karen Louise, Barbara, Thomas Samuel Eugene and William Robert. Barbara was born with a congenital defect eventually diagnosed as Rubensteins Syndrome which resulted in her development to about age 5 mentally and additional physical and mental limitations. Barbara was placed in shelter homes when she got older as a way of giving her social and educational opportunities, but it also gave Wanda needed respite and freedom from the daily needs of a handicapped child. Joe Roy said it was entirely his decision to do this, he did not want Wand a to have to feel any responsibility for shirking her motherly duties. The greatest tragedy of their lives was when their youngest, William Robert “Billy” died as a result of injuries received on a church snow tubing outing in February 1971. Wanda never was at peace for the rest of her life and grieved continually and deeply for Billy. Joe Roy, however apparently was able to accept the loss as God's will and as difficult as it was, he was able to continue to function quite normally with this peace of acceptance. He had a successful career with Standard Oil as a pump specialist and turbine engineer. He was called upon to travel worldwide for Standard Oil. He went to Pascagoula, Mississippi on many occasions, to Italy, South America and other places in his work assignments. He related how he turned down promotions because he felt they would compromise his ability to devote needed time to his church assignments. As a provider he was never wealthy, but always had sufficient for his family's needs. With his church and work assignments his time at home was precious and his children did not see him very much. When his oldest were in high school he decided to make time to be with each child on a Tuesday night for an hour when he would take one to a local hamburger joint and allow them to order anything at all they wanted, a tremendous extravagance for a child of the Great Depression. In late 1971 Joe Roy was diagnosed with multiple myeloma bone cancer and this eventually took his life. He was able to deal with it well for 15 years. During which time he was placed on long term disability from Standard Oil. He and Wanda determined to move to Provo, Utah which they did in 1979. They lived there serving in the Temple and in a local bishopric until his death in 1985. He served his family and local neighbors as much as his health would allow and was beloved of all who knew him. He was a Sealer in the Provo Temple and a Seminary teacher at Barbara's shelter home in Lindon, Utah. An experience he records in his journal which shows his faith and closeness to his Father in Heaven is as follows. “I have felt that the Lord has been in charge- that he has a plan for my life. I still feel that way and wish to cooperate with His plan. I will record here what happened to me one night the latter part of 1972 or early 1973. I was having lots of pain with my back as a result of the cancer attack. I had been blessed often and prayed always. This night- about 3 am I was awake with lots of pain and so I prayed a simple prayer, 'Dear Heavenly Father. If possible, please take this pain away or lessen it so I can get some rest. I ask it in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.' Right after this prayer all the pain went away. I was joyfully surprised. I wondered if something had gone wrong with my nerves so I pinched myself and found my nerves were okay. I looked around the room and made sure I was awake. I wiggled to see if a little change of position would make a difference. It didn't. The pain was really gone. I lay in bed grinning and saying, 'Thank you Heavenly Father.' Then the pain started to come back and as it did so the words came into my mind, 'I have heard you, my son, but your plan is not my plan.' The pain thereafter was easier to bear and subsequently the very hard pain was stopped by cobalt radiation which killed the malignant cells which were causing collapse of a vertebra in my back. Since that night I have felt it was the Lord's program and I have been pleased to cooperate with it. I think he expects me to do all I intelligently can to take care of myself and be righteously useful in the earth. I will continue to do this and accept with great peace the Lord's plan for my life.” Another choice experience that illustrates his spiritual preparation is as follows. Related by second son Stephen. “When Joe Roy was on his deathbed in the University of Utah Medical Center, his wife and all his children except Barbara were in the room. I was next to his head and was attempting to speak peace to him. It occurred to me that he might be concerned or even fearful at the approach of death and so I asked him if he was afraid. He was very weak and could not speak above a faint whisper but upon my question, his eyes flew open in obvious surprise and he beckoned for me to bend down by his mouth. As I did he whispered with all the intensity he could muster, 'This is the greatest adventure of my life!' That is the last thing I remember that he spoke directly to me, soon he lapsed into a coma and he passed away peacefully a few hours later. I have never forgotten his conviction and the confidence and peace it gave him at the critical times of his life. May I be able to do the same.” | Hilton, Joseph Roy (I132331)

214 | A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF MAREN HANSEN JENSEN (as presented at a meeting of the “Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.” Written by her daughters, Martha Rees and Lana Alvord.) Taken from pages 35-38 of the book “Mads Christian Jensen Ancestors and Descendants 1600-1960” In the early part of the nineteenth century there lived in Borglum Hjorring Amt., Denmark, a worthy couple named Hans Andersen and Rjearsten Hansen. They were a very religious couple, belonging to the Lutheran Church. The father was a miller by trade, and also owned a distillery, having plenty of this world’s goods. Two boys and four girls came to bless their home. Maren, the subject of this sketch, was born February 10, 1826, and was the oldest of the girls. They gave their children the best education the schools then afforded, and although they always hired help in the home, the children were taught to work. When Maren was in her teens she was sent to learn fancy weaving, such as fine bedspreads, tablecloths, etc. at Elling. Elling is a little village about 25 miles from Borglum. Here there was a lady who taught this art to young girls. While there she met Mads C. Jensen, the son of the lady who taught weaving. Their friendship ripened into love and they were united in marriage in the month of May 1845, at the home of Maren’s parents. Near their home lived an old couple who desired this young pair to live with them and take care of them while they lived and they would deed their home to them. The young Jensens tried to do this but the little old woman was so very disagreeable that Maren, being of a peaceful disposition, felt she could not live in such an atmosphere of contention. She went home and told her father that she could not live in such an atmosphere of contention. She went home and told her father that she could not live with them longer. Her father then bought the home from the old couple and gave it to his daughter and her husband. This was their home for as long as they lived in Denmark. Here they lived happily with their relatives and friends until the Gospel message came to them. They were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, August 17, 1851. Although they felt a joy unspeakable within their own souls, for they knew they had found the “Pearl of Great Price,” yet none of their relatives received the message, and of course, looked upon them as poor, deluded beings. Their once kind friends and neighbors now turned to bitter enemies. They stayed in their native land one and one-half years after joining the church, and during that time endured much persecution. Having so much loftier and higher ideals of life and living, they could no longer be happy where they were, so they decided to gather with the Saints in America. They sold their home and all other earthly possessions and on November 5, 1852, bade goodby to all their loved ones and went to Copenhagen, preparatory to emigration. They had five children born to them in their native country, but just before leaving, death entered their home and took from them their baby girl, who was a little more than a year old. This was a great sorrow to them, especially to the tender hearted mother, and formed a new tie to bind them to their native land. But the call of truth was greater than all else, and in December they left Copenhagen and crossed the North sea to England, from which place they set sail for America with the first company of the Mormon emigrants to leave Scandinavia. They landed sometime in March 1853. The mother was seasick during most all of the voyage. When crossing the North Sea she was seen one day with her head over the railing and when her husband tried to find her he could not see her any place. Some sailors told him they had seen her by the railing, and they thought, perhaps, she had fallen over board. He spent a very anxious night but found her the next morning in the ship’s kitchen. The cook had seen her by the railing also, and had taken her into the kitchen. It was a happy reunion, especially for the husband, to find that she was still alive. The voyage from England to America lasted nearly three months. All they had to eat during the voyage was boiled barley, split pea soup, very little seasoning, and hard sea biscuits. They gave the children one sea biscuit and a cup of split peas between two of them, but the mother being sick, they had her allowance. For eleven weeks and three days they did not have a drop of water, only what they brought with them. Before landing they were called to part with another of their little ones, a boy of about four years who was buried in the Gulf of Mexico. Soon after landing in America they began the journey across the plains, by ox team. Before the journey was ended they were called upon to part with most all of the treasures they had brought with them, the mother even taking the earrings from her ears. They endured, uncomplainingly, may hardships and privations during this long, hard journey. Their little children walked all of the way across the plains, and the mother walked all of the way except one week while she was confined to her bed. On the twenty-fourth of July she gave birth to a son, whom they named Denmark. When the baby was three days old* they were fording a stream of water. As they were going up a steep embankment the chain broke and let the wagon drop back into the stream. The box began floating off the wagon when four strong men jumped into the stream and held the box in place while the chain was mended and the wagon was pulled out of the river. The bedding as well as everything they had on was water soaked. Some of the sisters had some dry clothing for her and the baby when they reached shore and neither of them took cold. Surely the Father’s blessings were with them through all their difficulties and trials which only consumed the dross and refined the gold within their souls. When baby Denmark was a week old, a man who was travelling with them broke his leg. Brother Jensen said he did not know what to do with him, as they had only room for one bed, and his wife needed the bed, but she told him she was able to walk. So she gave her bed to the man and walked all the rest of the way to Utah. Her children were happy when mother could walk with them again. What a noble example of self-sacrifice and faith--two wonderful traits developed by those great souls whom God called to establish his latter day work. They arrived in Salt Lake City September 28, 1853 happy that their long journey was ended and that they were gathered with the Saints of God. After staying in Salt Lake a short time they went to Kaysville where Brother Jensen built a mill for Brother Winel. Here they lived in a dug-out close to the mill and were very comfortable those long winter nights during the winter months. Their little room was warm. They had a few chickens and a cow and Brother Winel furnished them with potatoes, flour, etc. They were very happy and contented in this humble place after their recent privation and hardships. They greatly appreciated the Gospel truths and enjoyed meeting with the Saints. In the Spring they moved into a tent on a piece of land where they planted corn and other garden crops, but the grasshoppers took it all, so their patience still had to be tried and tested. What a great truth the poet Shakespeare writes when he says, “Endurance is the crowning quality and patience all the passion of great hearts.” For truly this is the school that the Father takes all of His choicest souls through. In the fall they moved back to Salt Lake City where they stayed during the winter. In the spring of 1855, the family moved to Weber where Brother Jensen worked in the mill until fall when they moved to Ogden. Here another baby girl came to bless their home. The next winter was known as the hard winter for the early settlers of Utah, and they with many others learned what the pangs of hunger are, along with other privations. The following spring they moved back to Weber where Brother Jensen worked in the mill during the summer months. About this time a great scare came to the people of Utah. Word came that Johnston’s Army had been sent to destroy them and their homes. We can imagine what consternation this would cause after the cruel drivings and persecutions they had suffered in the East. Now when they thought they had found refuge where they could build up peaceful homes and worship God as they desired without molestation, this great fear bore down upon them. In the Fall, Brother Jensen with other brethren, were called to go to Echo Canyon to keep back the army. The day he left, Sister Jensen gave birth prematurely to a baby boy who lived only five days. Soon after Brother Jensen returned home he was called by President Lorenzo Snow, of Box Elder Stake, to move to Brigham City and run the Flour Mill at that place. They moved there in February of 1857. Sometime before this, Brother Jensen had married another wife, who now had two children. A few months after they moved to Brigham City the call came to move south. The two wives moved with the rest of the Saints, but Brother Jensen remained in Brigham City to grind up what wheat they had, as they did not know when, if ever, they would return. They came back in August of the same year. From that time on they made their home in Brigham City. While living here six more children came to add more happiness to their home, making fourteen in all, seven boys and seven girls, whose names are Maren, Hans Christian, Andrew Christian, James Christian, Rjearsten Marie, Denmark, Sarah, Joseph, Rebecca, Eliza, Mads Christian, Isaac H, Martha and Valana. Five boys and two girls preceded the parents to the spirit world. Some years after moving to Brigham City their son, Andrew Christian, a boy of nineteen years, was sent with some other young men back east to purchase a threshing machine. One evening when guarding the cattle, while the others ate their supper, some Indians came and killed him, taking his boots, belt, pistol and hat, also some of the riding horses. Of course, he had to be buried out there on the Plains in a lonely grave. This sad news was a great sorrow to his mother. She never afterward could talk about it herself, and if others would mention it, tears would come to her eyes and she would leave the room. Besides raising her own children she also raised another son of Brother Jensen’s, Hyrum S., whose mother died soon after his birth. He never knew any other mother and was treated as one of her own children. Sister Jensen was a home women. She loved her home, her husband and her children, and was extremely sympathetic and kind to them. She stood faithfully by her husband in whatever came to them, and although she endured many hardships, deep sorrows and trails, in it all she felt that God was good, for she had His spirit to strengthen her and learned, as all great souls learn, who take their difficulties in the right spirit, that every sorrow borne uncomplainingly brings us one step higher in the rounds of progression and leads us nearer to the Giver of all good. She was a faithful, consistent Latter Day Saint, and taught her children the truths for which they sacrificed so much. They are all faithful workers in the Church, ready to obey any call made of them. She had a big heart and kept her home open to the Saints that came from her native land, and many found a hearty welcome and a good meal in her home. Sister Jensen was well educated and learned the English language remarkably quick. She was a great reader and understood the Gospel well. She had a good memory and kept well posted on the topics of the day. She often made the remark that she would rather do without a meal a day than be without the Deseret News in her home. Although she was not a public spirited woman, being perfectly content to live quietly in her home, feeling that woman’s greatest mission is to raise noble sons and daughters. Yet, when the Fourth Ward Relief Society was organized, she was chosen treasurer, a position she faithfully filled for several years. She was also chosen to be one of the first Relief Society teachers, a position she held almost up to the time of her death. Although she left all her own sisters back in her native land, yet she found true sisters is the homes of her neighbors, and she was a true sister to them, for perfect love existed between them. They never had a disagreement that couldn’t be solved satisfactorily and were always happy to help each other in times of sorrow and difficulty. She was called to part with her beloved husband July 11, 1898. She lived a little more than a year longer, joining him August 31, 1899. She lived to see all her children happily married. One must believe she was glad to obtain a well earned rest after a life well spent in doing the best she knew how, both in service to her God and to her fellow travellers. She was buried beside her husband in the family plot, in the Brigham City cemetery. *(page 3) According to the Forsgren Company Journal, Denmark was only one day old.

215 | A Sketch of the Life of William Bailey Maxwell, By Charlotte Maxwell Webb William Bailey Maxwell was born in Shawneetown, Gallatin County, Illinois, on March 14, 1821. He was the only child of Richard and Ruthey Hodge Maxwell. Richard died when William was six months old. About six years later, his mother married William Barnett, and the family moved to Missouri. On November 26, 1840, William married Lucretia Bracken and shortly after, moved to Iowa, where he took care of a farm and maple sugar grove belonging to the Church. Maxwell joined the L.D.S. Church soon after his marriage. Lucretia was already a member. They were in Missouri and Illinois during the mobbing of the Saints there and after the destruction of Nauvoo, moved westward with the body of the Church. Maxwell was one of the 500 young men who volunteered for service in the Mexican War. He left his family, consisting of his wife and two small sons, Lee and Jim, with his wife’s father, Levi Bracken and family. After sharing the hardships of the Mormon Battalion and being mustered out of the Service at San Bernardino in 1847, Maxwell returned to the East by way of Utah, expecting to find his family in the Salt Lake Valley. He had left his family provided with a team, wagon, two cows and provisions for the journey across the plains; but a man, in whom he had had confidence, took advantage of his absence and the serious illness of his father-in-law to dispose of his cows and run away with his team. This loss and other troubles prevented Maxwell from starting to Utah until the summer of 1852. There were fifty wagons in the train with which he and his family and his wife’s father and mother traveled. The train was divided into groups of ten wagons each. Maxwell was appointed Captain of one of these groups. He early showed his ability as a leader and organizer. He was strong, active and quick of movement, decision and speech, but very generous and kind hearted. At Loop Fork, on the Platte River, the wagon train was smitten with cholera. In Maxwell’s group, three men with families died of the dreadful disease within three days. They were Levi Bracken, John T. Mathis and Edward M. Webb. The care of the widowed and orphaned families fell heavily upon the Captains. How well he fulfilled his duty to them has been attested many times by the people themselves. One of the widows told a member of the Maxwell family many years afterward that William Maxwell, or “Bill”, as she called him, was without exception the most generous and unselfish man she had ever known. Friendships were formed during the journey that lasted the lifetime of the parents and descended to their children. After a brief stay in Salt Lake City, Maxwell and others of the party moved south and built a fort where the city of Payson now stands. Maxwell took an active part in the Indian troubles of those early days. He fought Indians, grasshoppers, crickets and drought with the other pioneers of Northern Utah, and always evinced indomitable courage, cheerfulness and unfailing faith in God. At the coming of Johnson’s Army, Maxwell with other men was summoned to the defense of the Mormon homes. He received from Governor Brigham Young, the commission of Captain in the Utah Militia. (This commission is a much prized souvenir in the possession of the Maxwell family.) Maxwell was one of the men who made the treaty with the Ute Indians in 1857. He lived in various places in Northern Utah---Stewarts Ranch, Santaguin and others. In 1859 William Maxwell married Jane Mathis in the Salt Lake City Endowment House. (March 4, 1859). In the fall of 1862 he was called to Southern Utah to build up that part of the region. In the fall of 1862 he was called to Southern Utah to help build up that part of the region. He stayed a while at Rockville, and then moved to Short Creek, where he had a ranch and took care of his own and other men’s cattle. Some of these men lived in St. George. Among them were John Pym, Woodruff Freeman, Joseph Bentley and Dan McArthurs. He helped build what was called “Windsor Castle” at Pipe Springs, owned Moccasin Springs and took care of a herd of Church cattle there. His sons, Jim and Lee were grown and all of them were fine horsemen and experienced cattlemen. Nathan Tenney and Joseph McFate, who married Olive Tenney, lived at Short Creek. Maxwell and his two sons were in the searching party which found the bodies of Whitmer and the Berry brothers and others killed by the Navajos not far from Short Creek. Maxwell’s ranch was the last stop, and the outfitting station for Hamblin’s exploring parties that crossed the Colorado River and visited the Moqui and Zuni villages. Maxwell himself accompanied the party on two occasions. On one of these trips, four Zunis were induced to return with the party. Maxwell accompanied the party that took these youth to Salt Lake City. The fourth boy remained at the Short Creek Ranch for a year. His name was Li. In 1878, Li visited the Maxwell family at Orderville, Long Valley, Utah. During these troublesome times, Maxwell moved his family into Long Valley, where a small settlement had been made. In the spring of 1866, President Young called Maxwell to Iron County to help establish settlements along the western border of Utah at that time. He lived for a short time in Eagle Valley, then moved on five miles farther north to what was called Spring Valley; a most beautiful valley covered with meadows and dotted with springs. A lovely little stream ran through the valley from north to south, the hills were covered with dense growth of pine and here and there a beautiful grove of aspen. Low hills skirted the valley on the east and northeast, and it extended north about ten miles to what was known as Black Rock, a high pine clad mountain with cliffs of black rocks jutting out into the valley. A village was built in the south end of Spring Valley with protection against the Indians if they should prove unfriendly. Among the early settlers of Eagle Valley and Spring Valley were Ira Hatch, a noted Scout and Interpreter in Indian languages, Maltiah Hatch, Hyrum and Zaduc Judd, Sam Western, Israel Bennion, William Moody, Frank Hammond, Fred Hamblin, Neberker, Rice, Ramsay, Hampton, Buchanan, Meeks and the Millett brothers, Alma, Artemus and Joseph. After living in the village for a year, Maxwell moved a mile to the north and built a good home, extensive out buildings, and large fenced pastures. It may safely be said that William Maxwell was the leading citizen of the community established at Spring Valley. He was the largest stock owner and farmer, had a dairy and blacksmith shop, in which he worked for the pleasure of working, as he was in comfortable circumstances by this time and did not need work by the day. In the fall of 1867 he married Maryette Hamblin. She was a young widow with two small daughters named Martha and Nettie Young. Maxwell was noted for his hospitality. The Maxwell homes in Spring Valley were open and had a welcome for everyone and none were ever charged for meals and lodgings. About ‘69 or ‘70, a new survey threw the western part of Iron County into Nevada. The mining town of Pioche, 18 miles southwest of Spring Valley was built. It furnished a market for fruit, vegetables, grain, butter and eggs for the towns in Southern Utah, as far away as Beaver and Cedar. Maxwell’s Ranch was a handy place to stop coming and going and all were welcomed, people and horses fed. Erastus Snow, Southern Utah’s beloved Apostle, made yearly trips to the small out lying districts, and in Spring Valley the party from St. George always stayed at Maxwell’s Ranch. Apostle Snow said, “Brother Maxwell, as long as you keep this spirit of generosity, you shall not want for means.” William Maxwell, though he had never enjoyed the blessing of an education, was a widely read and intelligent man who fostered education wherever he lived. He was at great pains to obtain teachers in Spring Valley and made trips to St. George and elsewhere to find suitable persons for this position. He always furnished a place for the teacher to board and saw to it that his own and neighbors children had the best educational facilities the country afforded. About 1872 Prime T. Coleman moved to a ranch fifteen miles north of Spring Valley. A friendship was formed that lasted during the lifetime of these men and their wives and has continued to many of their children. For the first few years that Mr. Coleman lived in Camp Valley, in order to have his two daughters in school, they were placed in the Maxwell home, where they and the Maxwell children grew to be like the children of one family. In 1877 nearly all the Mormon families had moved away from Spring Valley, so in order that their families might enjoy better social and religious advantages, Maxwell and Coleman concluded to move into Utah. Maxwell moved first to Panguitch and in the same year, to Orderville in Long Valley. Coleman moved to Upper Kanab. Maxwell was appointed foreman of the Orderville Cattle Ranches, with headquarters at the famous House Rock where he built a house and corrals and out buildings. But he was not content long in Orderville and soon resolved to move to Arizona. In February, 1879, he moved part of his family to what is now Springerville, Apache County, Arizona. From there he went on to Bush Valley. This beautiful valley was then owned by a squatter named Bush. Maxwell bough Bush’s right and opened the valley for Mormon settlers. They next year, Coleman and his son-in-law, J. H. Heywood, moved to Bush Valley. After a few years in Bush Valley, Coleman and Maxwell, hearing of the wonderful fertility of a little valley on the Frisco River south of the Moggollon Range, went there and farmed for a season. Maxwell, liking the place, purchased Calvin William’s claims. Williams, called “Parson Williams” moved to Luna Valley and finally to Mexic | Maxwell, William Bailey (I132590)

216 | A Standard History of Oklahoma: An Authentic Narrative, Vol 3, p. 991 Walton F. Dutton, M. D. Oklahoma claims its due quota of able physicians and surgeons, and among the number a comparatively recent recruit to the ranks is Doctor Dutton, who is recognized for his high professional attainments and who is engaged in the successful practice of his profession in the City of Tulsa. Though he is still a young man, Doctor Dutton has had exceptionally broad and varied experience in the practical work of his profession, has made many valuable contributions to its standard and periodical literature, and his reputation is firmly based on r Dr. Walton Forest Dutton was born in the Village of Macksburg, Washington County, Ohio, on the 6th of August, 1876, and is a scion of one of the honored pioneer families of the old Buckeye State, and the family name has been closely identified with the petroleum oil industry virtually from the time of its inception. The doctor is a son of Robert L. and Mary (Walton) Dutton, the former of whom was born on the old homestead farm of his parents, near Macksburg, Ohio, in the year 1858, and the latter of whom was born in Monroe County, Ohio, in 1857. Robert L. Dutton passed to the life eternal in March, 1912, and is survived by his wife and by three children, of whom the subject of this review is the eldest; Dolly is the wife of Dr. Frank L. Watkins, who is special agent at Jackson, Mississippi, for the United States Bureau of Vital Statistics; and Amanda B. is the wife of Dr. Frank C. Reisling, who is engaged in the practice of dentistry at Caldwell, Ohio. James Dutton, the great-grandfather of the doctor, was the first man to drill an oil well in Washington County, Ohio, this pioneer well having been drilled in 18t30, near the Village of Mackburg, and its construction having been effected by the primitive means of a spring pole, oil having been found at a depth of fiftyfive feet and the product having been found to be a fine quality of lubricating oil constituency. The output of the well was barrelled and then transported by wagon to Lowell, Ohio, from which point it was transported by boat up the Ohio River and sold in the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at $20 a barrel. This enterprise on the part of James Dutton represented the inception of the oil industry in America outside of the Oil Creek fields in Pennsylvania. Incidentally it is pleasing to note that James Dutton attained to the venerable age of nearly ninety years and that his great-grandson, Doctor Dutton of this review, had the privilege of accompanying him on various hunting expeditions. The progenitor of the Dutton family in America was Joseph Dutton, who came from England in 1778 and who first established his residence in Pennsylvania, whence he later removed to and became one of the pioneers of Ohio. He was a son of James Dutton, Lord Sherbourne of England, and the lineage of this patrician family in England traces back to the time of the Norman conquest. William Dutton, grandfather of the doctor, succeeded his father in the oil-producing business in Ohio, and he in turn was succeeded by his son Robert L., father of him whose name initiates this article, the original oil field developed by the Dutton family in Ohio having been one of the best in the history of the industry in that state. Robert L. Dutton continued his operations as an oil producer until the time of his death, which occurred in March, 1912, and he achieved distinctive success and prominence in this important field of enterprise. He was a man of strong mentality, sterling character and much business acumen, his political allegiance having been given to the republican party and he having been affiliated with the Knights of Pythias and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The public schools of his native village afforded to Doctor Dutton his preliminary educational advantages, and in 1898 he was graduated in the excellent academy at Marietta, Ohio. In the same year, at the inception of the Spanish-American war, Doctor Dutton enlisted, in the City of Cleveland, as a member of Company B, Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the regiment having been mustered into the United States service at Columbus, the capital city of the state, and having thence been sent to the reserve camp at Tampa, Florida, where Doctor Dutton was detailed to the hospital service. After the lapse of several months he was transferred to the same department of service at Fernandina, Florida, where he remained until October, 1898, when he returned to Cleveland, Ohio, in charge of a hospital train. He continued in supervision of the invalid soldiers until the 3d of the following month, when he received his honorable discharge, the regiment in which he enlisted having not been called to the stage of military operations in Cuba. The experience gained in the hospital service during the war fortified the doctor in his determination to prepare himself for the medical profession, and in the autumn of 1899 he was matriculated in the medical department of the University of Ohio, at Columbus. In this institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1903, and after thus receiving his well earned degree of Doctor of Medicine, he served his professional novitiate by engaging in practice, in May of the same year, at Walkers Mills, a suburb of the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where likewise he established and maintained an office. There he continued in successful practice, with excellent opportunities for diversified clinical experience, until January, 1910, when he removed to Carnegie, likewise in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he built up a substantial private practice and served also as chief surgeon for the Pittsburgh Coal Company, the Superior Steel Company, the Carnegie Coal Company, the McHugh Coal Company, the Dunlap Enameling Company, and the Adler Stove Company, besides having been local medical examiner for the Equitable Life Insurance Company, the Polish National Alliance and other organizations of fraternal and insurance order. Owing to impaired health doctor Dutton sold his substantial practice at Carnegie in August, 1913, after which he traveled somewhat extensively through the Southern States and gave special attention to the study of tropical diseases and sanitation. Thereafter he completed an effective course in the Post-Graduate Medical College of New York City, in the class of 1913, and on the 1st of June, 1914, he established his residence in the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he has built up an excellent general practice, though he gives special attention to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart and lungs, and arterial system. A close and appreciative student and one who is unremitting in his researches and investigations, Doctor Dutton has unselfishly given the results of his labors and experience to his professional confreres, through contributions to the leading medical journals and through the compilation and publication of various standard works. It may thus be noted that he is the author of the following papers, which were read before various medical associations: "Hypertonia Vasorumcerebri," published in 1908; "Insect Carriers of Typhoid Fever," published in 1909; "Blood Pressure in the Practice of Medicine," 1908; "The Responsibilities of Municipalties in the Ohio Valley for epidemics of Typhoid Fever," 1908; "Present Day Problems and Progress in Prevention of Typhoid Fever," 1910; "Laws Relative to the Sanitary Control of Public Eating and Drinking Places,'' 1912; "Tubercular Phthisis: Is the second R«covery Possible?" 1908. All of the above papers were published by the respective medical associations before which they were read, and a number were prepared for the meetings of such representative organizations in the cities of New' York, Pittsburgh and Chicago. It is specially interesting to record that the suggestions made by Doctor Hutton relative to the sanitary control of public eating and drinking places were embodied in the admirable laws passed by the State of Pennsylvania in the supervision and control of such places of public service. The doctor is now engaged in the preparation of a comprehensive volume which will comprise about 300 pages and which will bear the following title: "Venesection: A Monograph of Practical Value to Students and Practitioners." Doctor Dutton was a prominent and valued member of the Carnegie Academy of Medicine, at Carnegie, Pennsylvania, and served as president of the same. He is a member of the Pennsylvania Association for the Prevention of Social Disease, and is identified also with the American Medical Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the International Congress on Tuberculosis, the National Geographical Society, the Oklahoma State Medical Association, the Tulsa County Medical Society, and many other representative professional and scientific organizations. The doctor was raised to the degree of master mason in Harrison Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, at Cadiz, Ohio; his capitular degrees were received in Cyrus Chapter, No. 280, at Carnegie, Pennsylvania. His present affiliations are with Delta Lodge, No. 425, at Tulsa; Tulsa Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Chartiers Cominandery, No. 78, Knights Templars, at Carnegie, Pennsylvania; Akdar Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in the City of Tulsa. He is affiliated also with the consistory of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in which he has received the thirty-second degree. In politics the Doctor is not constrained by strict partisan lines but gives his support to men and measures meeting the approval of his judgment. August 8, 1901, recorded the marriage of Doctor Dutton to Miss Julia Augusta Russell, who was born at Sunbury, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and they have one child, Genevieve Lydian. | Dutton, Walton Forest (I132853)

224 | ABOVE PHOTO: Current-day view from Biddenden, Kent, England, United Kingdom, birthplace of Nathaniel. Nathaniel Stedman (1632-1678) & Temperance Willis 1648-1793 ) From: "John B. Lisle" <jbl@tqsi.com> Subject: [STEDMAN] The problem of Nathaniel Stedmanfrm "John B. Lisle" Let me start my providing you with the presumed facts and then try to piece together some theories.... One of the original founding Stedman families in America is the family of Isaac Stedman, originally of Biddenden, Kent, England who came to America on the Ship Elizabeth in 1636 and settling in Scituate, MA. He arrived with his wife Elizabeth and sons Isaac and Nathaniel. Nathaniel was baptized in Biddenden on 9 September 1632. We assume that he moved from Scituate to Muddy River (now Brookline) in 1650. He married Sarah Hammond, daughter of Thomas Hammond and Elizabeth Cason in Hingham, MA, about 1655. They had daughters Elizabeth Stedman, born about1655, and Sarah Stedman born about 1657.[Note: Elizabeth is not the Elizabeth Stedman who married Thomas Dunk in Saybrook, CT. That was the widow of Lt. John Stedman of Wethersfield, CT,who died in King Philip's war in December 1675. She was his second wife and her maiden name was Elizabeth Blackleach.] Nathaniel Stedman had three or four additional children: Nathaniel, born between 1665 and 1670, Hannah born 1665-1667 and Mary born about 1669; and maybe a Michael Stedman. Sarah Hammond died before 1675 (based on her father's will - see below). No record of the exact date of her death has been found. Nathaniel married Temperance Willis (Wills), baptized 13 Feb 1648 in Cambridge, daughter of Michael Willis and Mildred Wells (or maybe Ann Woods). I have seen no evidence to suggest that she was not born near to that time, although some references give 1636 as the date of her birth. The commonly ascribed date of her marriage to Nathaniel Stedman is "1664". I have never found a source for that date and believe it to be an estimated date based on the birth dates of the children commonly assigned to her.I have located a source for another date of Nathaniel Stedman and Temperance Willis' marriage as being 27 Jan 1677/78. It is in the Boyd Patterson Ancestry (1967) by H. Minot Pittman, FASG, and Katherine Patterson Boyd Hunt. This book is held by the NEHGS (s-640F/A.123). Nathaniel died 10 November 1678 in Muddy River or Boston, leaving a widow Temperance for whom we have no record of her death or re-marriage. And some number of children. He did not leave a will. A number of Isaac's family died that year. Isaac died 19 Dec 1678; Isaac,Jr. may have died in November 1678; Thomas Hammond, Jr., husband of Isaac's daughter Elizabeth died 20 October 1678. Maybe other family members that cannot be further traced also died at this time. I can find no record of a marriage or death for Elizabeth or Sarah. Maybethey died in the 1678 diseases? The record of the land they inherited from their grandfather May tell us something. Mary married David Stowell on 6 April 1692 in Cambridge and died 27 Sept1724. The record of her descendants is long - and poorly documented;however, she is thought to be an ancestor of Richard King of Maine and Rufus King of New York. I am looking for data on this family. Her sister Hannah married Robert Murdock on 28 April 1692 in Roxbury. She died about 17 August 1727 in Newton and was the matriarch of a large family that has been well documented.Her brother Nathaniel seems to have died, unmarried about 1703. Nothing is known of Michael; however, based on his name, it would seem likely that he was the son of Temperance as Michael was her father's nameand Michael is not an otherwise popular name in the Stedman family. [In fact, among my records, I have only one other Michael Stedman and I believe that he is a subscriber to this list.] He may have died young. Straightening out this family has been a particular interest to me and several other researchers, mostly descendants of Robert Murdock or David Stowell.Recently, I have found a transcription of the will of Thomas Hammond:HISTORY AND GENEALOGIES OF THE HAMMOND FAMILIES IN AMERICA With an Account of the Early History of the Family in Normandy and Great Britain. 1000-1902 BY FREDERICK STAM HAMMOND, VOL.

230 | Abraham Katzenbach was baptized on 8 May 1763 in the Reformed Dutch Church, Albany, N.Y. Abraham did not go to Quebec with his father. He stayed in NY and fought with the Vermont Militia. (He lived near the border of Vermont) He is listed in the Daughter's of the American Revolution Patriot Index. Abraham Katzenbach/Catosaback/Catezeback is listed in "Soldiers, Sailors and Patriots of the Revolutionary War" found at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The entry says he was born in 1763 and was a Corporal, VT. in Capt. Dater's Co. in 1781. Revolutionary War Rolls for the State of Vermont contain two payrolls that list Abraham Catzeback. The first is for Oct 17, 1781 for answering an alarm and serving 4 days and the second is for 13 days service as Corporal Abrm.Catosaback beginning on Oct 23, 1781. He would have been 18 at the time. Also in his unit were Sgt. Jacob Rosenberger and Private Peter Rosenberger. They were likely related to his future wife Anna Rosenberger. She had brothers with those names. Abraham married Anna Elizabeth “Betsy” Rosenberger (b. 4 May 1762 in Hoosick, NY) about 1783 somewhere in New York state. She was the ninth and youngest child of Jacob Rosenberger (born 4 Dec 1720 in Niederzell, Germany) and Regina Zitzer (Zhzer) who was baptized 19 May 1718 in Poppenweiler, Germany. Abraham and Anna had six children including three sons who moved to Ontario - John, our ancestor, Jacob and George. Abraham was a farmer in Rensselaer County. We can see how the spelling of his last name changed over time. In the 1800 United States Federal Census , he is listed as Abraham Cauchebaw of Scaghtikoke, Rensselaer Co., New York. In the 1810 United States Federal Census , he is listed as A. Catehapaw of Schaghticoke, Rensselaer Co., New York, United States. So the morphing of Katzenbach into Kotchapaw (and also Ketzback, Catchpaw, Katchback, Katchpaw, Ketchabaw and more) happened. Those that could write had English ears and they were trying to spell a German name. Abraham and Anna died later than 1810. | Katzenbach, Johannes (I58747)

231 | Abraham Lott, the son of Peter and Gertrude Lott, died in 1766. He married lst Claelaesje Langstaet born in 1677. She was the daughter of Derick Stoffelsz Langestraat, who emigrated in 1657 and Catharina Van Leuven his wife. Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert, was the 2nd wife of Derick Langestraat, and the one who was a sponsor at Jan Lott's baptism in 1696. Abraham Lott married 2nd Geertje Jandodrlandl, born in Bedford and baptized August 19, 1674 in the Reformed Dutch Church, Brooklyn, Colony of New York. His 3rd marriage was to Sara and his 4th was to Marytie. He was married to all four wives consecutively and all are named in his will. Abraham Lott lived in Brooklyn after his marriage to Claesie Langstraet because in the Brooklyn Church records on 25 April 1696, Abraham Lott and Claesje Langstraet had Jan Lott. Peter Lott of New York was baptized 31 October 1696 at Jamaica and was also a son of Abraham and Claesje Lott. The records show that Abraham moved to Jamaica where his brother Hendrick lived just before 1696. Isaac Lott, 1704, was a son of Abraham and his 2nd wife Geertje. This appears to be their only child. Abraham Lott must have married his third wife Sara between Isaac's birth in 1704iand Jacob's birth in 1716. Between 1716 and 1718, he had again married for a fourth time, Maria or Marytie, as his last three children were born 1718, 1720 and 1722. The Dutch Reformed Church, Brooklyn, marriages gives 2 August 1699 as the date of Abram Lott's marriage to Geertje Jans Dorlandt. Abraham Lott, made his will 21 July 1760 stating he was "far advanced in age." It was proved 4 September 1766 and reads as follows: “ In the Name of God, Amen, I, Abraham Lott, of Jamaica, in Queens County, being in perfect health, but far advanced in age, and considering that I have but a short time to continue in this transitory life. I leave to my son, Rem Lott, all my horses, wagons, ploughs, and all my carpenter tools; also all my lands, meadowsand messuages in Jamaica or elsewhere; And he is to provide me a comfortable maintainance during my natural life, and he is to pay to the rest of my children £504. as follows: To my daughter Charity, now wife of Nicholas Van Arsdalen, of Jamaica, L.I., 72 pounds; to my son Hendrick, 72 pounds; to my son Jacob, 72 pounds, to my son, Isaac, 72 pounds; to my three grandchildren, the children of my deceased son, Abraham, viz: Abraham Motije, and Cornelius, 72 pounds; to my son, John, 72 pounds. Residue and remaining part of sand 504£ to son Peter. All the rest of my estate, I leave to my children. I make my sons, Peter, John and Rem, Executors.

232 | Abraham Mitchell · 16 September 2013 · 0 Comments Abraham Mitchell was born October 29, 1779. One record says he was born in Muncy, Lycmng County, Pennsylvania and one says Buffalo Valley, Bucks County Pennsylvania. He was the son of William and Mary Browne Mitchell, and was of Irish descent. His people had come to the New World to seek a better way of life. In his youth, Abraham learned the shoe making trade and followed that profession all the rest of his life. He was about 32 years old when he married Annie Colpetzer about 1811. She was born in 1792 in Buffalo, Pennsylvania. Her parents, Johan Adam and Sarah Rhodes Colpetzer were of German extraction. Abraham and Annie became the parents of 12 children named William, Levi, Benjamin T., Esther, Lepley, Ohio, Jesse, Julia Ann, Jeremiah, Samuel, Thomas and James. Not all of them grew to maturity. The Mitchells made their home in Pennsylvania until about 1835 when they moved to the Western Reserve in a wooded part of Ohio. Abraham joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints before 1843. His son Benjamin is said to have joined in June 1836 in Ohio. It could well have been that Abraham and Annie were baptized then also. They were living in a place called New Garden, Columbiana County, Ohio when Annie took sick and died on October 9, 1844. She was only 52 years old. We suppose that Abraham moved with his son Benjamin when he started the trip west to gather with the saints in Missouri. They had traveled as far as Madison, Indiana when they heard that the Mormons had been forced to flee from Missouri because of the cruel and unfair expulsion orders of Governor Boggs and were scattered in different states. The Mitchell’s went on into Iowa and farmed at a place called Marlin County, where they stayed for two years. In the spring of 1841, some Mormon Elders came by and told them that the Mormons were gathering at a place called Nauvoo, Illinois. So, as soon as they could, they disposed of their property in Iowa and journeyed to Nauvoo. Here Abraham became acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith and other church leaders. Benjamin's wife died during this period, leaving 3 small children. Benjamin was a stone mason and did much work on the Nauvoo Temple and other buildings. It is presumed that Abraham worked on them also. In June of 1844, the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed and Brigham Young took over the leadership of the church. The persecutions were so great that the Mormons were forced to leave Nauvoo in the cold winter of 1846. They made a temporary settlement at Winter Quarters. This was the place that the Mitchells lived until the spring of 1848 when they were ready to cross the plains to the Rocky Mountains. Abraham came to Salt Lake City with Benjamin. Benjamin was captain of 10 wagons in one of the companies. They arrived in Great Salt Lake Valley in the fall of 1848 and went about getting a home started. They were among the first settlers of the 15th Ward. Abraham received his endowments in the Salt Lake Endowment House March 18, 1856. He had been in the valley nearly 15 years when he died at the age of 83 on March 4, 1863. Copy of a biography at the Daughters of the Pioneers museum in Salt Lake City. | Mitchell, Abraham (I73649)

233 | Abraham was baptised at Campton, co, Bedford, England 14 August 1614. Abraham came to the Plymouth Colony about 1629. According to the most recent genealogy for Abraham Sampson, he first married an unidentified daughter of Lt. Samuel Nash and after she died, he married second a completely unknown woman. The children of these unions are as follows: First wife: Unidentified Nash - born c. 1625, married before 1646, died c. 1655. Note - By his [Lt. Samuel Nash] will dated 2 June 1681 he gave his dwelling house and some lands to Martha Clarke, other lands to his deceased grandson Samuel Sampson's two sons, Samuel and Ichabod Sampson, and the rest of his estate to his daughter Martha, and his granddaughters Elizabeth Delano and Mary Howland (Ply. Colony PR 4:2:112). Clarence Almon Torrey, "A Nash-Sarnpson-Delano-Howland Pro'olem," TAG 15;165, uses this will and other information to show that Samuel Sampson, the deceased grandson of Lt. Samuel Nash was a son of Abraham Sampson of Duxbury, and thus that Abraham Sampson had married a daughter of Samuel Nash. Since Nash did not mention other sons of Abraham Sampson, it appeared that Abraham had two wives, with the other wife unidentified. Nash's daughter Martha Clarke was childless. With no indication that Nash had any other married children, Torrey felt it safe to assume that the granddaughters were daughters of Abraham Sampson by his first wife, and he identified them as Elizabeth Sampson, wife of Philip (2)Delano, and Mary Sampson, wife of Samuel (2) Howland (Henry) (1).[1] - Samuel SAMPSON was born in 1646 in Duxbury, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts and died in 1675 at age 29. - Elizabeth SAMPSON was born circa 1648 in Duxbury, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts and died before 11 Dec 1708. - Mary SAMPSON was born circa 1650 in Prob. Plymouth, MA and died after 18 Apr 1716 in prob. Freetown, Bristol Co., Massachusetts. Second wife: Name unknown - married c. 1655. - George SAMPSON was born circa 1655, died on 26 Jul 1739 in Plympton, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts at age 84, and was buried in Burying Ground (Plympton Green), Plympton, Massachusetts. - Abraham SAMPSON II was born circa 1658 and died between 2 Aug 1725 and 4 Sep 1727 in prob. Duxbury, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts. - Isaac SAMPSON was born circa 1661, died from 0003 to 26 Sep 1726 in Plympton, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts at age 65, and was buried in Burying Ground (Plympton Green), Plympton, Massachusetts. - (Possibly) Judith SAMPSON was born in prob Duxbury, Plymouth Colony.

237 | According to Eddy Family in America, Abigail was born 1688 in Brookline, MA They believe her husband Obadiah is buried beside her with an unscripted head and foot stone. Obadiah Eddy born 02 Sep 1683 in Swansea, MA, died 1757 in Swansea, MA. *********************************************************** Dear Linda, I have a copy of the Eddy Family in America that gives a little background on Abigail's family. On page 56 it reads: "The Devotion Family was well-educated. Her father was a graduate of Harvard College and her brother John was the first school teacher in Swansea. In the Swansea records it is written under the date of 1715, "John Devotion shall teach our youth to read (sic) Inglish and Lattin and write and sipher as there might be ocation." Some of the Devotion family went later to Suffield, Conn." I realize that spelling of words wasn't formalized for quite some time later, but this quotation makes me both shutter and chuckle.

239 | According to the book, "History of the Kimball Family in America..." which can be found online here: https://archive.org/stream/historyofkimball00morr#page/36/mode/2up, Samuel's father Richard Kimball was born in Suffolk County, England and came to Massachusetts with his father about 1623 (see page 37). He lived in Ipswich, Wenham and Topsfield. According to this source, he had two wives, both named Mary, and 8 children alive at the time of his death, as demonstrated by an agreement made between them and his widow. One of these children was his son Samuel. According to page 39, Samuel was the second son, born about 1651 in Ipswich. (I have seen other sources on the internet that estimate his birth at 1653. Unfortunately he has no birth record.) Samuel has his own listing in the above-referenced book starting on page 51. According to this source, he married September 20, 1676, Mary Witt, daughter of John and Sarah Witt of Lynn, Massachusetts. Despite what is written in The Witt Genealogy, which can be found online on ancestry.com, Samuel did not marry Mary Witt's sister Martha. There is compelling proof that the wife of Samuel Kimball had to have been born about 1660. If Mary was born about 1660 she would have been about 16 years old when she married Samuel Kimball. Her first child was born in 1677 and she continued to have children until Jerusha was born in 1703. If she was born in 1660 then she would have been 43 years old at the time her last child was born. This is probably about the right time frame - women in the 1670s would not likely have been married any earlier than about 16 years old, and could not have children any later than about 43 years old. She spent more than 26 years having children, which is about the absolute maximum possible. In Wenham vital records, the following marriage record appears: Kimball, Samuell and Marah Witt, Sept. 20, 1676. Several of Samuel's children have birth listings in Wenham vital records: Kimball, Samuell, s. Samuell, Aug. 19, 1677. CTR Kimball, Sarah, d. Samuell, 6: 7m: 1678. CTR Kimball, John, s. Samuell, Nov. 13, 1687. CTR Kimball, Thomas, s. Samuel and Mary, Feb. 22, 1695-6. Kimball, Benjamin, s. Samuel and Marey, Apr. 17, 1698. Kimball, Abbigall, d. Samuel, sr. and Marey, May 25, 1700. Kimball, Jerushah, d. Samuell, sr. and Mary, Apr. 30, 1703. So these are birth records for 7 of his children. In addition to the above information in Wenham vital records, the above-referenced book on the Kimball family supplies a birthdate for the "first' Martha of 24 May, 1680, and the names of more children, including Mary, Richard, Jonathan, Ebenezer, and the second Martha. In all, this couple had 13 children - a very large family. The other children have only estimated birth dates in the Kimball book. See page 51. So, it is a fact that in the birth records of many of his children, Samuel Kimball's wife is listed as "Mary" or "Marey" and not Martha. John Witt's will, written in 1675 (see his listing on www.findagrave.com), mentions married daughter Ann Barnitt (Barney), daughter Elizabeth, daughter Sarah, unmarried daughter Marye (Samuel's soon to be wife), unmarried daughter Martha, son John Witt, son Thomas Witt, wife Sarah, grandchild Hester Witt (and her father Jonathan Witt). It looks like Samuel spent most of his adult life in Wenham. He was appointed Surveyor in 1676 and Constable in 1677. He is noted on the 24 May 1682 list of Wenham freemen and was Selectman in that town in 1682. On 2 Mar 1701, he and wife Mary deeded to son Samuel a lot of 10 acres and a house. Samuel's estate was settled by his son Samuel who took title to his father's property and paid his siblings their share. His death is listed in Wenham vital records: Kimball, Sameul, Ens., Oct. 3, 1716. | Kimball, Samuel (I16651)

240 | According to the Compilation of Family Group Sheets of the Allen Family of New England, Samuel Allen removed to New England before his father. He was a first settler in Boston, Massachusetts in 1628. He resided in Duxbury, Massachusetts before moving to Braintree where he was made a freeman 6 May 1635. Samuel was married twice. His first marriage was to a lady named Ann who died in 1641. He remarried to Margaret, widow of Edward Lamb several years after Ann had died. It has since been determined by other research found that Ann's last name was Whetmore or Wetmore. Will made in 1669 and names his children. Added by Steven Losey from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/161707096/samuel-allen The following sketch is for the purpose of refuting any attempt to claim this Samuel Allen was the son of George Allen of Sandwich, Mass.[1] Further, to clearly establish Samuel as the father of sons Samuel and James, who married two daughters of the writer's ancestors - George Partridge and Sarah Tracy of Duxbury, Mass. Samuel Allen, born perhaps circa 1601 in England of unknown parents, d. of record in Braintree (then part of Suffolk County, now Norfolk County), Mass on the "6th mo., 2d day, 1669" (i.e., Aug. 2, 1669), the same day he signed his recorded will. In 1625 Thomas Morton, along with some 30-40 non-Plymouth Pilgrims, parted company from Plymouth and established beyond the limits of the Plymouth Colony "Merrymount," subsequently renamed "Mount Wollaston," now encompassed by Braintree and Quincy, Mass. After the 1630 arrival of the Massachusetts Bay colonists, the Town of Boston claimed jurisdiction over "Mount Wollaston." Boston's earliest grants at "the Mount" began in 1634 as large farms for Boston's prominent citizens and clergy. By the year 1639 Boston's grants of land at "the Mount" were for general settlement based on 4 acres per family member at a cost of 3 shillings per acre. The earliest known record of Samuel Allen in New England is on Feb. 24, 1639/40 when the town of Boston granted him, among others, land at Mount Wollaston (that part now Braintree) consisting of 28 acres to accommodate 7 heads [BTR 49.] On an unknown date and place probably in England, Samuel m. 1) a wife purportedly named Ann Whitmore; however, both her first and purported maiden name are unproved. She is claimed to have died in Braintree Sept. 29, 1641, but no record can be found confirming that date as fact. Samuel Allen had the following four known children by his first wife: • i. Samuel Allen, Jr., b. Nov. 10, 1632, d. testate in Bridgewater, Mass. between June 29, 1703 (date of his will), and Dec. 21, 1705 (date of probate); m. by early 1660, Sarah Partridge, dau. of George Partridge and Sarah Tracy, b. circa 1639 in Duxbury, Mass. She d. Aug. 7, 1722 in Bridgewater, Mass. Ten children of the family, all descendants of Stephen Tracy of the 1623 Little Ann passage to Plymouth, Mass. • ii. James Allen, b. after July 25, 1636, d. July 25, 1714 in Chilmark, Mass., Æ 78 (g.s.); m. by 1662, Elizabeth Partridge, sister of his brother Samuel's wife, b. after Aug. 8, 1643 in Duxbury, Mass. She d. Aug. 8, 1722 in Chilmark, Mass., Æ 79 (g.s.) Twelve children of the family, all descendants of Stephen Tracy of the 1623 Little Ann passage to Plymouth, Mass. • iii. Sarah Allen, b. Mar. 30, 1639, was living Sept. 16, 1690 in Preston, Conn.; m. after Mar. 7, 1655/56 as his 2nd wife, Josiah Standish, s. of Capt. Myles Standish of the 1620 Mayflower and his wife Barbara, b. circa 1633 either in Duxbury or Plymouth, Mass. He d. Mar. 19, 1689/90 in Preston, Conn. Eight known, possibly nine, children of the family, all Capt. Myles Standish Mayflower descendants. • iv. Mary Allen, b. circa 1641, was living in Boston, Mass. in 1684 as her husband's widow; m. Jan 24, 1656/57 of record in Weymouth, Mass., Nathaniel Greenwood of Boston. He d. testate July 31, 1684 in Boston (g.s., #8448145). Five recorded and one unrecorded children of the family in Boston. On an unknown date and place before late 1649, Samuel m. Margaret, the widow of Edward Lamb of Boston, who survived him. Like his first wife, that Margaret's maiden name was French is unproved. They had two known children in Braintree: • v. Joseph Allen, b. May 15, 1650, d. Mar. 20, 1726/7 in Braintree, Mass.; m. 1) Jan. 30, 1670/1 in Braintree, Rebecca Leader (not Ruth Searles) [2], and 2) Jan. 27, 1703/4 in Braintree, the widow Lydia (Ford) Holbrook. • vi. Abigail Allen, b. after Jan 25, 1650/1. In his Braintree, Mass. will dated Aug. 2, 1669, Samuel gave to son Samuel £20, to son James £5, to son-in-law Josiah Standish £5 (husb. of dau. Sarah), to son-in-law Nathaniel Greenwood £5 (husb. of dau. Mary), and to unmarried dau. Abigail £30. The balance of the estate he left one-half to wife Margaret and one-half to son Joseph, with Margaret authorized to pay £10 amongst her own Lamb children if she saw need. He named wife Margaret executrix and son Joseph executor of the will. The estate inventory totaling £228.12.09 was taken Aug. 27, 1669. The witnesses to the will and both the executrix and executor gave proof of the will Sept. 16, 1669. [1] Samuel Allen, the acknowledged son of George Allen of Sandwich, Mass., was living in Boston July 10, 1656 when on that date "Henery and Samuell Allin of Boston ... joint heirs of a piece of land ... in the bounds of Sandwich ... which was the proper possession of our father George Allin deceased, and by him given to us ... with the consent of our Mother, to say now Katheren Collins who hath interest during her life," sold the land "unto George Alline of Sandwich" (Henry and Samuel's brother) [MD 25:136-37, citing PCLR 3:37]. After this deed Samuel, son of George of Sandwich, disappears from the records. [2] See NEHGR 54 (July 1900): 349-50 for the well developed argument regarding the correct identity of Joseph Allen's first wife. Original Bio by Don Blauvelt ∼ Samuel Allen was the son of George Allen and Katherine Watts. He married 1)Anne Whitmore in Braintree, Norfolk County, Massachusetts in 1630 2)Margaret French in 1644. Samuel Allen was born in England, probably in Co. Somerset, or Dorset, or Devon before 1612 and died at Braintree August 5,1669. Once in Braintree records he was called Mr. Allen, a title reserved for the upper class. | Allen, Samuel Sr (I120920)

243 | Ada Hix Taylor By Lella Marler Hogan Ada Marion Taylor was born in the gold fields of California, at White Oak, in Eldorado County, February 26, 1855. She was the daughter of Thaddeus Constantine Hix and Charlotte Chase Hix. Her father was from Vermont and descended from a courageous stock. Her mother was of a fine old English family. Ada’s childhood days were spent in sunny California. Her father was a patient, indulgent man with his children and her mother gave them very superior care. She had three brothers, Ernest, Douglas and Rolla, and two sisters, Lillian and May. Lillian died in early childhood. The children delighted in the long summer days and rejoiced when autumn came and they could go “nutting” out in the big trees. There were few schools at this early day in California, but these children received their first lessons from their scholarly mother, who was a student of the Pratt brothers of early Church days. Ada was not yet 10 years of age when she made the long trip from California to Utah in 1864. They came in wagons drawn by horse teams. They were five weary weeks on the road and Ada and her sister May had chills and fever all the way across. The wagon train consisted of the five wagons and there were only five able-bodied men in the group. This was at a time when Indians were often on the warpath and this little group had more than one Indian scared during the journey. Their father rode with them the first day out but it was necessary that he should remain in California to attend to matters of business before going to Utah to live, so on the second day he bade them goodbye and turned back. The children watched him as long as they could see him. The way seem very lonely after he turned back. They never saw him again. When they reached Utah they went to live with their mother’s brother, Dudley Chase, and his family. Later they had their own little home. The long cold winters with drifting snow and meager belongings were a great hardship to the children. They longed for the time when their father would come. They felt that his coming would make everything happy again but their hope was pitifully shattered when a messenger brought the sad tidings of their father's death. Then began the hard struggle of helping their mother to make a living. She was diligent and frugal and from her they learned to turn the buffeting of fate to their advantage. Nothing was ever spoiled or wasted in their home. They made the most of everything. Their clothing was all completed with the finished artistic touch that made them always appear well-dressed even though the materials were inexpensive. Ada and her sister, May, were devoted companions throughout their childhood days. All those who knew them said that they never had a quarrel at any time in their lives. At any rate, their loving devotion and loyalty to each other was beautiful to all who knew them. Ada was baptized in 1865 by Luman A. Shurtliff. She took part in the church organizations in the Harrisville Ward and attended school there. There were only three or four months of school during the year but they profited by their mother’s books and her scholarly teaching in the home as they were all anxious for knowledge. On April 26, 1873, Ada was married to Alfred W. Taylor in the Endowment House at Salt Lake City. Her husband's people were glad to receive her into their family and always rejoiced in their happy associations with her. Shortly after their marriage, they went to Clifton, Idaho to live on the Taylor ranch. Alfred's father was president of a livestock company and himself owned many heads of fine stock. Alfred looked after his father's stock. He put up hay on the ranch for their feed. In the fall of 1878 they built their first home in Utah. This was a substantial brick house which is still a good home and is occupied by their son Alvin and his family (in the 1930s). In 1881 they lived for a while on what was known as the North Farm. There they built in adobe house. In 1884 they moved to Horse Island, a cattle ranch near American Falls, Idaho. They spent their winters there but had a summer home at Beaver Canyon which was the summer range for their cattle. In the year 1890 they purchased a home from Ada's mother and for a few years spent their winters and Harrisville, Utah, while the summers were spent in Sheridan, Idaho. This moving about from summer homes to winter homes made a great deal of work and required much planning and good household engineering to keep the domestic wheels running smoothly, but Ada was always equal to the task at hand. She was a good household manager, a fine cook, a good seamstress and a most unusual wife and mother. She did her heavy work with such efficiency as to give her family the best of care and still had time to to provide for all the work hands and any stranger who might come within her home. She was a friend to everyone. She could put her home in order to prepare a wholesome meal in record time. She seemed to be always prepared for any emergency and through it all she kept her poise. She met life with a calm, cheerful spirit and had the happy faculty of seeing the humorous side of every situation. When the shadows began to darken the horizon she would, to express it in modern slang, “laugh it off” and be serenely ready for the next emergency. One of her Taylor relatives has said that no one ever crossed her doorstep who did not feel her warmth or welcome and remember the happy, congenial, spirit that pervaded her household. Any person who once made her acquaintance never forgot her. There was something about her wholesome, beautiful, nature that made everyone love her who knew her, and her acquaintances were numbered by hundreds. She was so genuine, so magnanimous, that wherever she went, a welcome always awaited her. Even the Indians who camped near her summer home came year after year to pay her homage and to ask little favors at her hands. She used to buy furs from them and make the children and gloves. There was no sham or pretense or veneer about her character. She was frank and outspoken and honest and true. She was loyal and generous. She gave to her friends not only of her substance but gave of her time in service and of her whole-souled self. Her life was sweet and clean and wholesome. Her cheerful sociability made the world happier wherever her course of life led her. More than once when she was leaving the ranch house and was asked if she did not lock the doors she would tell her friends that some cold or hungry traveler might need to come in. She could not lock a door against any person who needed food or shelter. When there was a rap on the door her cheery voice would call out “Come in.” Once in the night when she and her sister were alone at the Clifton Ranch she heard a rap on the door and as usual “Come in” and in walked the big drunken Indian. She got up from her bed and provided him with food and although he didn't want to leave the house she managed to get them out before he realized he was going. Ada was the mother of 11 children, six girls and five boys. Her eldest girl and her youngest boy and died before they were one year of age. Another boy passed away at the age of two. The names of the children were Ada May, Alfred Green, Elmer Douglas, Elma Charlotte, Alvin Ernest, Clara Ethel, Harold Walker, Almeda Marian, Effie June, Lelia Idell, and Warren Wayne. Ada passed away on June 13, 1895, shortly after the birth of her 11th child. It was a great loss to her husband and children to have this lovely mother pass on at such an early age. She was just a little past 40 years of age when she died. Her life and been so full and her influence had been so far-reaching for good that it could only be measured by her splendid deeds and not by days or years. One of her Taylor relatives said of her recently, “She had so many beautiful qualities and treated everyone so well that it was impossible not to love her. None could excel her. She was one in 10,000.” Her hallowed memory has been a constant inspiration to her children through the years. Her fine, virtuous womanhood in her service to her family and humanity will long stand as a monument to her memory. | Hix, Ada Marion (I111995)

244 | Adam Mott was born in Cambridge, England on 12 August 1596 to John Mott and Elizabeth Hollis. He married Elizabeth Creel on 28 October 1616. They had four children: John (1618), Adam (1623), Jonathan (1626), and Elizabeth (1629) who married Edward Thurston in Rhode Island. Elizabeth died in 1632 and Adam married Sarah Jennings Lott on 11 May 1635. Sarah had a daughter from her previous marriage to Engelbert Pieters Lott. Her name was Mary Lott (b. 1630). Adam, his wife Sarah, and their five children boarded the ship Defence (Defiance) in London in July for the voyage to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Before embarking, Adam "brought testimony from the Justices of Peace, and minister in Cambridge, of his conformity to and discipline of the Church of England." In all likelihood, Adam, a tailor, also had all of his wealth -- we have no idea how much that may have been. Taking a moment here, the planning for this move had to have begun long before Adam married Mary. To cut his ties to England he would have to liquidate all his property and convert it to gold or currency. There was probably no business to sell, and whether or not he owned his home is unknown. There may have been little or no wealth. But, there was not such thing as having his English bank wire his whatever funds there may have been to his American bank. One would assume that Mary was aware of Adam's plans when they were married. Arriving in Boston on after a three-month voyage on 8 Oct 1635, with all the family having survived, Adam set up residence in Roxbury where he is recorded as a freeman on 25 May 1636. Roxbury was one of the first settlements in the Colony and "It was said that the best people settled in Roxbury. They were people of substance, many of them farmers, none being 'of the poorer sort." Adam and Sarah were members of the First Church at Roxbury. (It is not known what denomination this church may have been.) Adam later moved his family to Hingham, MA where he had a grant of land. How he acquired the property in Roxbury or the grant of land in Hingham is unknown. Nor is it know if he worked as a tailor or at some other endeavor. What is known is that Adam moved to Massachusetts with evidence of conformity with the discipline of the Church of England, the Puritans left England because they were unhappy with the practices of the Church of England as being too lax, the Puritans made their religion the religion of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the Puritans had begun trials and rendering punishments to people who did not comply with their brand of religion. Adam Mott wrote his will on 2 April 1661 and named his children: (1) John (who was also on the 1635 passenger list to America) (2) Adam (who was also on the 1635 passenger list to America) (3) Elizabeth (who was also on the 1635 passenger list to America) (4) Jacob (not on the 1635 passenger list; son of second wife and born in America) (5) Gearsham (not on the 1635 passenger list; son of second wife and born in America) (6) Eleazar (not on the 1635 passenger list; son of second wife and born in America) In addition, Adam had another son, Jonathan, on the 1635 passenger list. Jonathan was not named in Adam's will and may have been deceased by 1661. Mary, who was listed as 4 years old on the 1635 passenger list, was the daughter of Sarah Lott [second wife of Adam] and her first husband. Adam Mott [Jr] married Mary Lott, his stepsister. (See sources "The Great Migration" and "Passengers to America".) Adam first married Elizabeth Creel or Creed, 28 Oct 1616 in Saffron Walden, Essex, England. She died in England before 1632. The ship logs of the "Defense" 1635, show Adam [39], Sara [2nd wife][31], his 4 children Adam, Jr. [12], Elizabeth [6], John [14] and Jonathan [9] and Sarah's daughter Mary Lott [4]. He married second Sarah Jennings, widow of Mr. Lott. He was listed as a Taylor. He was first in Roxbury, freeman 25 May 1636; perhaps dissatisfied as a friend of Htchinson, went 1638 to Rhode Island with family; He, along with Adam jr., John, and Jonathan, were listed as freemen 1655 in Portsmouth. Will was created 2 Apr 1661, and inventory posted 12 Aug 1661, so he died between the two dates. The inventory was valued about 371 pounds.

245 | adapted from Family Book of Remembrance originally written by Edith Young Booth, granddaughter of Helena Jonsson Ericksson-- Helena Ericksson Roseberry was the daughter of Hans Peter and Hanna Ericksson, she was born October 11, 1822 in Winnega, Hebe Shouse, Sweden. As a child and young woman she had a number of injuries and near brushes with death. She felt that the Lord had preserved her life for a purpose. Before she was nine months old, she fell and cut a gash in her cheek with didn't heal. Her face and eyes became so infected that she nearly went blind. When she was seven years old, she was without sight for fourteen months. At twelve years of age, she was badly frighted and jumped out the window. Although is was from an upstairs room, she wasn't hurt. Two years later she was standing on some ice over very deep water. The ice began cracking all around her. She fell on one sheet and paddled herself to the bank. When she was twenty-two years old, she broke a vein in her breast and nearly died that time. During this illness, she dreamed she was in heaven where she saw many glorious things. She was married to Carl Roseberry in Malmo, Sweden on April 7, 1849. To them were born eleven children.... Helena was never afraid of hard work. She helped build her first home. It was in 1853 that she first heard of Mormonism. She heard Brother W. Winberry preaching about the Millenium. She became so interested in his remarks that she went to another meeting even though the police were there taking down the names of the people who were in attendance, so they could put them in jail. To Helena the missionaries looked just like angels. She wrote, "When I came home I knelt down to pray and behind me I saw a dark shadow shaming me for kneeling down, but I kept going to listen to the Mormons daily, then kneeling and praying... my faith increased every day. I thought I had to go and be baptized, but my husband and all my relatives were against me..." Finally, she decided to be baptized in spite of her husband's objections. She went with President Barlow and others to the seaside at twelve o'clock at night. Her baptism was a most spiritual experience. In her own word, "... as soon as we stepped our feet into the water, we were surrounded with a circle of glory from heaven with sparks like fire...Brother Ludlow said he never saw a sign like that before. I can never tell you how happy I was. I felt like a new born babe when I put my dry clothes on. I kneeled down and thanked the Lord for his goodness to me!" When her husband returned and found she had joined the Mormons, he was most upset. She suffered persecutions from him and both their families for four and a half years. Finally the Elders counseled Helena to leave her husband with the promise that she would return if he wanted her. She made arrangements to go to Denmark, bidding farewell to her mother and neighbors. While waiting for repairs on the ship, she was overtaken by her husband who took her home, locked her in a room without a dress, and promised her she should never come out until she denied Mormonism. However, she escaped and was back at the ship at 3 o'clock next morning with her three year old daughter. Although her husband's friends called the police to detain her, when the ship's captain saw her papers were in order, he took her aboard. She arrived safely in Denmark, a strange land, without a cent of money or a change of clothing and with a little girl to care for. It was a difficult time, but some people took her in. She then wrote her husband telling him where he could find her if he wanted her. He came to get her right away and stayed to attend a church meeting. He was much inspired by the words he heard there. He was baptized a short time after their return to Swede. Within a month he was secretary of the branch, paid his tithes and offerings and was faithful in all things. When they decided to go to America, Helena stated, "we could not sell our property and had to leave it. Roseberry took the oldest child. I took my two babies and two men carried a sack with a cradle and all our things. When we got to the sea, Roseberry gave my sister's man all our property we had left. He gave eight dollars which was all he had to give Roseberry for it. My youngest sister could not say goodbye but said she would rather see me go to the grave than across the sea. My other sister followed me, and her and her daughter stood and wept over me until the ship was ready to go. I tried to hide my sorrow that they should not see me weep. I was not sorry to leave my native land, but mourned because I could not get my relative to believe the Gospel. They were eight days crossing the English Channel from Denmark where normally it would take but three to make the journey. They arrived in Liverpool at 10 pm and had to board the ship "William Tapscott" before daylight for the five week voyage to America. They left Sweden with only the clothes they had on and expected to purchase more in England but could not as the ship was waiting. They arrived in NYC on May 13, 1859. They traveled by railroad and steamboat to Florence (Winter Quarters), Nebraska. They expected to stay at Winter Quarters for a while, but Brigham Young counseled the saints to come to Utah. So they and their few belongings started across the plains of 1200 miles with the Eighth Handcart Company. The company nearly starved due to mismanagement of supplies. "This required great faith for me to walk and pull a handcart and carry my babies some of the time. I was begging bread and there was a man who gave me the last he had for my little children. ...I had to walk and carry one of my babies and help to pull the cart for many weeks until my feet began to swell up so I had to ride some. ...One day they tipped the wagon over and broke my hip." Her husband, Carl, continued the trek and pulled his family on to the Salt Lake Valley. There was little food that winter for the Roseberry family. Carl worked on a grist mill, but was given only three pound of flour/day and some lumber. Helena had to beg milk to eat with the bread. During this time she gave birth to another set of twins. When they ran out of bread, she collected grease wood for the family to cook and eat. She later gave birth to triplet girls when they had almost none of the necessities of life. She had no one to attend the birth except her husband. Someone donated a cow and they did live. During these early years, they were often called on for donations for soldiers or other companies of saints. It was in the days of privation and sorrow she prayed for the Lord's strength. In 1867, they moved to Santaquin. They lost a crop of wheat to the grasshoppers, and when Carl could get no work, he sought employment with the railroad although he had forebodings about it. He never saw his family again, but died in an accident. The fatherless family suffered a great deal. Men who promised to assist with their crops and cattle failed in their duties. For seven years, Helena worked hard trying to take care of her family. After an unhappy experience with the United Order in Richfield, her son Joseph was called by President Young to go to Arizona in 1878. They stopped briefly in sunset and spent one year in Snowflake preparing to go to the Gila Valley. To make this trip, she traveled on foot 200 miles driving her cattle before her. When they arrived in Smithville (Pima) along the Gila River, they found just eight families had preceded them. Here she found peace and happiness. She had loved temple work and donated the first money ($5.00) toward the building of a temple in Arizona where she hoped she could work for the rest of her life. She also resided in the Mormon colonies in Mexico for a time. She loved Mexico because it seemed that the saints lived their religion more closely. When her health failed, she requested to return home to Pima. Helena died December 19, 1899 at her daughter Hannah Larsen's home in Pima, Arizona at the age of 77. She wrote, "Pen and ink cannot tell all I have passed through, but by the help of god I have passed through fiery trials and expect to get my reward. I never wished myself back in my native land but hope to stand as a saviour to my father's house." She withstood great trials and tribulations for the sake of her posterity. She knew without any doubt that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Sants was truly the Church of Jesus Christ, embracing the true and everlasting Gospel, and she wanted her children and all her posterity to realize the joy promised the faithful. Great shall be her reward. | Ericksson, Helena Jonsson Jonsdotter (I86684)

246 | Adapted from “History of Carl (Roseberg) Roseberry” by Edith Young Booth, granddaughter in Roseberry Book of Remembrance Carl Nisson (Roseberg) Roseberry was born 22 August 1825 in Stura (Sterucha), Uppakra, Malmohus, Sweden. He had a good education for his day and was a ship carpenter. He was a small man weighing about 150 lbs., was five fee, six inches tall with light hair. He had good health and was very industrious. He was married to Helena Jonsson Eriksson in Malmo, Sweden on April 7, 1849. To them were born eleven children. Carl joined the Mormon Church in Sweden 7 December 1857, three years after his wife, Helena Ericksson Roseberry, had been baptized into the faith. Within a month, he was secretary of the branch, paid his tithes and offerings, and was faithful in all things. With his wife and three children, Annie Marie, 3 yrs. old, and twins, Neils Joseph and Emma Caroline, about six months old, he immigrated to America in July of 1859. When they decided to go to America, Helena stated, "we could not sell our property and had to leave it. Roseberry took the oldest child. I took my two babies and two men carried a sack with a cradle and all our things. When we got to the sea, Roseberry gave my sister's man all our property we had left. He gave eight dollars which was all he had to give Roseberry for it." They were eight days crossing the English Channel from Denmark where normally it would take but three to make the journey.

They left Sweden with only the clothes they had on and expected to purchase more in England but could not as the ship was waiting. They arrived in NYC on May 13, 1859. They traveled by railroad and steamboat to Florence (Winter Quarters), Nebraska. They expected to stay at Winter Quarters for a while, but Brigham Young counseled the saints to come to Utah. So they and their few belongings started across the plains of 1200 miles with the Eighth Handcart Company. The company nearly starved due to mismanagement of supplies. After Carl's wife, Helena, broke her hip in an accident, Carl continued on, pulling his family in their cart on to the Salt Lake Valley. They arrived in Salt Lake September 2, 1859. Two months later, the family left Salt Lake for Sanpete County, stopping in Provo long enough for Carl to do some work for the support of his family. Times were hard and they had to eat sparingly so as to save wheat for planting. Carl Roseberry was a hard working man but some of those he worked for were not honest and cheated him out of what he rightfully earned. Bread was scarce as all the flour he could get a day was three pounds and rest of his pay was in lumber. Helena had to pick greasewood twice a day and cook it for their meals. During these hard time, another set of twins and a set of triplets were born to them. The family ws in a very poor condition financially, scarcely any clothing or provisions and they really were destitute for the necessities of life. Several people offered to adopt the triplets--one or all of them--but neither of the parents would consider giving up any of their precious children. Toward the end of the summer of 1867, the family moved to Santaquin (south of Provo) owing to the fact the Indians were on the warpath and also because of the grasshoppers destroying their crops. When they had been there about a year, Carl decided to go to work for the railroad which was being built through Weber Canyon north of Salt Lake City. While he was inspecting a blast, a large boulder fell on him. He lived nine days. When his wife, Helena, was notified of his death, she requested he be brought home for burial. The bishop informed her it would be too expensive. She said she would find the means to pay for it. The bishop informed the railroad they were to bury Carl in the nearest town. (Kaysville, Davis County, Utah) He was interred November 15, 1868. His wife and seven surviving children were left to mourn his passing, never seeing his remains. Carl Roseberry was known far and wide for his integrity, his clear vision, his neatness of appearance, and his willingness to work. He had the ability to get along with people and was foreman at the time of his death. He never undertook a job he couldn't finish and finish well. He was a kind and loving father but also a good disciplinarian. He meant what he said and his children loved and respected him for it. His descendants can be justly proud of such an ancestor. | Rosberg, Carl Nilsson (I86631)
