Genealogy Summary

ofthe
Welsh & Kartchner Family Lines
Genealogy can best be compared to a late aftemoon dip into a remote, pastoral pond. The willows that thrive on the edges, hint at a familial past. To discover the whole story, the bottom needs exploring, slowly feeling your way around. The willows are the various posting of family history that can be found on the Internet; the reward of a deeper exploration - is in the search for and acquisition of the official documents, family journals and other books that offer support. This effort is dedicated to the memory of Viola Dona Welsh Kartchner. Taken from her family far too soon, she survived the cruel pains of her afflictions to see her surviving children reach majority. To see most of her children married and the births of her first three grandchildren. Since her passing, her husband married and lost a second wife, then joined her in 27 years. Some of her children faced divorce and additional marriages. Her family continued to grow, with the addition of a few more grandchildren. This will be a presentation of all available information to give an accurate picture of the various people who contributed to the Welsh / Kartchner Family Tree. Unfortunately, many relatives that could have been so helpful to this research passed away before anyone showed the wisdom to collect their knowledge and memories. Family Kartchner has the most in documented history and research and is discussed in the last section of this effort. Information for many allied family pedigrees has been found going back to the "Old World". This ancestry will be limited to those in the United States, five or six generations. The impact of the various individuals on the family and its evolution becomes obvious as they are presented. Although, there has been some reference in the various family histories to relations to famous historical events or people - most have proven to be unfounded. There is one possible exception. It appears highly probable that the Family Kartchner has a link to Daniel Boone, the American frontiersman. Boone's sister, Sarah Cassandra Boone [1724-1815], was in the Sharp line and the sixth great-grandmother to the Kartchner Children. This is a listing of the family lines (year came to America) dc Paternal Kartchner (1750) Blythe (1889) Ellsworth (1650) Griffith (1765) Wilcox (N/A) Gale (1853) Sharp (1710) Edwards (N/A) Walton (1700) Maternal Welsh (1873) Smith (1885/1888) Williams (1856) Crowton (1887) Cox (1882)

In memory of my mother (1928-1975)
May 15, 2004 [Updated January 1, 2005] With the completion of a modest Family History, it has become far too obvious that little is recorded about the women - the mothers in most families. Consequently, I Intent to commit to paper all that can be remembered and/or discovered about my mother before It too fades. Hoping that one day, it might serve one or more of her grandchildren (or their children) In getting to know her a little - the one they owe so much. Ultimately no less an appreciation due from her own five. My personal research, recollections and memories are the basis for much of this biography. Luckily I received some revelations, insights, clarifications and verifications from either Aunt Elaine or from my older brother Michael. In each case, their contributions clearly noted. Any errors, inconsistencies or misconceptions subsequently discovered in the following material are mine alone. Yet, if in reading these pages, someone can offer additional information or clarification, all efforts will be appreciated. Comments will be made along the way, encased in "< >" to help highlight this brief biography. The span of years hasforcedso much of her from my memory. The sound of her voice has been lost for a very long time. However, I do have samples of her very pretty handwriting style. (Something that only Unda inherited.) Only a hint of her appearance, before the final aggression of cancer, remains with me. The length of this record may suggest the contrary; yet much remains elusive due to her reclusive nature. Compound this fact with the loss of memories on my part and others contributing to this story. That is not to say that other things may come to mind as time goes by. Smallfragmentscontinue to surface as I go about a normal day. This next February will mark the 30th year since her death. She was taken from her family far too soon. She courageously endured the cruelties and pains of her afflictions to help her children reach majority. To see most of them married and the births of her first three grandchildren. Since her passing, her husband married and lost a second wife, then joined her in 27 years. Her children faced divorce and additional marriages; encountered varying degrees of health and success. Her family continued to grow, wrth ttie addition of a few more grandchildren.

First the basics, her last California Drivers License (Issued 16 September 1971 - about 14 months before her disability, three years and five months before her death)remindedme that she was 5"6'f 180 lbs, with blue eyes and brown hair. Ironically, this license was due to expire the year of her death.

Theftrstchild, daughter produced in the union of Alice Lauretta Smith (1907-1989, of Salt Lake City) and Frank Carter Welsh (1898-1963, of Coalville, UT). My mother was bom at 7:35am, Tuesday 02 October 1928 (that would make her a 'Libra') In the Old Salt Lake (General) County Hospital, 2100 South and State Street, Salt Lake City. She would be of the second generation for both lineages to be born in the United States. Each family immigrated to the United States from Great Britain as part of the Mormon Immigration Program of the late H:n

<She always thought tt was "neat" that she was bom the same year as Shirley Temple.> Tbe source of the name chosen for her is not known, other than that her mother thought it was a pretty name. But as the Census notation documents, her middle name, Viola - seemed to be prefered over "Donna". Whether it was my grandmother's choice or the preference of Smith family (as a whole) Is not clear. Sometime along the way, my grandmother began using the spelling variant of "Welch" rather than the proper spelling. This may have been a simple error or, as suggested by my aunt, an attempt to hide from their father. The first reason seems more likely since various documents were found listing the Welsh family with both spellings. Little informationremainsthat might help us to imagine or understand what her early life might have been like. Her surviving sister was too young at the time to remember many details. Her father was a miner, going wherever work could be found. Thisforcedhim to be away from his young family for extended periods. Periods In which, my Mom and her mother found a home with members of the extended Smith family, while her mother worked as a waitress. During these absences of her father, her maternal grandfather William Henry Smith (1869-1934), 59 at the time of her birth,and her Uncle Walter were probably the important men during her early years. My aunt describes William as a very strict, stole Individual - yet It appears that his family was a close-knit one. After his own children reached majority, based on the same Census schedules noted below, many of them choose to live near him, and each other. This was In the small community of Poplar Grove, an area just west of downtown Salt Lake. Her matemal grandmother, Amelia Crowton Smith (1870-1941) would be part of her life until my Mom's was twelve years old. My Aunt related a few of the memories she had of their grandmother, most revolved around the times when they would visit her and she would serve them tea and cookies. <The 1930 Federal Census showed that Viola, 11/2 years, was living with a matemal aunt, Rachel Foster and her mother recorded separately as "Alice Welch", boarding a few doors away with her elder brother. Although it Is not noted in the Census, my grandmother would have been about six months pregnant with Elaine at the tlme.> There Is no way of knowing what. If any, contact my mother may have had with the father's family. Her patemal grandmother died seven years before her birth (Sarah Ann WUUam Welsh 1860-1921 of Athen, OH). Her paternal grandfather (Thomas A. Welsh 1855-1936) was also a miner and at the time of his death in 1936 (his grandchildren would have been about 7,5 and 4 years of age) was In the Bingham Canyon area just east of Salt Lake City. He would have been In his 70's, but it is possible that there was some contact between them, <In doing the family history research, I discovered that Gram (what all the grandkids called our matemal grandmother) was not even sure of her husband's parentage - she had his fathers name as "James" - see the Family Group Sheet for Thomas A Welsh for a possible explanation of this confusion. I also leamed that Gram occasionally corresponded with one of her former sisters-in-law over the years. So she did keep track of Frank was up to the time of his death- Frank had remarried at least once, her name not known and It Is not clear If he fathered additional children. > the periodic absences of her father, she got a sister - Elaine W. - In 1930 and her brother, Donald F. was bom In 1931. (My Mom also had a half sister, June. She was bom in 1925 and put up for adoption.) The marriage of her parents faltered after the birth of Donald, with her father filing for divorce In Cody, Wyoming during the winter of 1936. Afterward, my Mom and her siblings would only see their father a few times during the 1940s.

G. Kartchnar (2004-05-15)

<In late 2003, an Intensive search of Washington State Public Records revealed elements of her father's later life. He spent the last ten years of his life In various hospitals or nursing homes In the Seattle area - suffering from mining related illnesses. Addison Disease claimed his life in 1963, at the state hospital In Sedro Woolley, WA (In Skagit County, approximately 70 miles north of Seattle). A letter [recently discovered - dating from an early 1970's] between Gram and one of her father's sisters (Clara) revealed that he had fallen on hard times and was living on the streets of Seattle. Apparently while m a hospital recovering from a "beating" he had received, Frank suffered a stroke - leading to this hospitalization. > My mother's childhood may not have been a happy one. As we grew up, few stories were told about those years of her life. Tbe photographs that I have seen from her childhood seldom showed her with a smile, although she did appear healthy and well kept The nature of these photographs did seem to confirm that she was loved, but maybe not as much as she needed. Gram remarried twice, but neither arrangement provided a stable situation for the children. Gram's second marriage probably most affected her, for better or worse. Researching the Polk Directories for the 1930's and 194C, It was discovered that her mom and siblings seem to have been at a different address every year until the War Years. Late In 2004, Elaine recalled that the marriage to Munz was Indeed a volatile one and she mentioned that Allen Herman Munz was abusive towards their mother. At one point [Elaine recalled during a conversion late 2004], after an agrument, Munz totally boarding up their house near 500 East and 300 South. For a time. Gram and the kids had to find refuge with one of her sisters. The police had to be brought Into the picture, for them to retum to their own home. <Mom seemed to have had a nickname. On one photograph taken at a studio in 1945, she would have been 17, had "Dodo" Inscribed on the back along with the year. It was clearly In my Mom's hand. Sometime later Gram wrote "Viola" next to It. This was the only time that this was found. Based on what Elaine remembers, it is what she and Donald called her when they could not say "Donna". Elaine told me that their first stepfather, Herman Munz, picked up the term and used it for Mom throughout her teens - whether he used It as a term of endearment or [based on recently discoveries] In "verbal" abuse may never be known. From her dress, the photograph was from either the spring or fall of that year, a short time before her first pregnancy.> In many ways, my mother faced life as a true representative of her generation. Those who had to get by with less and endured all the difficulties, hardships and shortages of the Depression and the War years. Compound these experiences with being a product of a broken home, raised In a rigid Mormon community. Even If the whole story, truth was available, her formative years was an episode that none of her kids could possibly Imagine or appreciate. <It seems as If my Mom was among very few to come away from these years as a nonsmoker. So 1 very odd and unique considering all the 'hype the act received . . . everything from how 'healthy* It was to how 'glamorous' it made the smoker. My Mom was so against smoking, she convinced my father to quit the habit sometime early In their marriage. > She was not able to complete her schooling. It is likely that she may have hdd to quit school to either work or to help care for her siblings during the late 1930's and early years of the Second World War. From what Httle Information Gram shared about these years, between the ages of 15-17 my mother helped her clean troop trains at the Union Pacific Depot during the war. During this time, she encountered the fathers) of her first two children; Jack R. (bom at home near 500 East and 300 South In the Summer 1946) and Unda E. (Fall 1947). <Ete_ne remembers that during the War, Mom was very much In love with a soldier - she believes that his name was "Oscar". >

Both births were out of wedlock. My mother and Gram, wanting to deflect the negative inference and implication that such births would have fostered within the rigid Mormon community, falsified their birth records. Until recently, we had thought that both Jack and Linda had the same father. Shortly before my father died In 2002, he revealed that each child had a different father - but would not or could not provide details. Naturally, lifefora young, unmarried mother of two, living In post war Salt Lake City, could not have been easy. For support, as Gram had done, she tumed to the extended Smith family. <It appears that my father had promised my mother (and Gram) never to discuss her past. Shortly after Gram died in 1989, Michael believes that he destroyed most of the papers he still had about that time in her life. It could be that he/they did not want us to make a "detrimental" discovery about her - if he should die unexpectedly. > The nature of her early experiences created a lifelong, strong bond between my Mom, Gram and her siblings. Gram was a constant visitor and most holidays were celebrated with Gram and either/both of her siblings' families, This was no doubt also due to proximity as much as anything else, since most of my father's family never moved from Utah. <Thls "bonding" is something that is missing among her own children, not that she would not have wanted it for us. For a variety of reasons (including the fact that she had to work so much - either leaving us either in the care df Linda or on our own as we became more responsible), each of us was pressed into selfreliance- with most going our own way upon reaching majority. Her early death served to hasten the fracture of the family. >

Sometime In 1948, she met my father, Delmar Irvin Kartchner (1921-2002 of Lewiston, UT - a fifth generation American of Germanic-Anglo descent and a great grandson of the Mormon Pioneer William Decatur Kartchner, 1820-1892 of Haverford, PA). The story of how they met Is a mystery. They had a very short courtship, marrying March 1949 in Elko, Nevada - with my father's older brother and his wife witnessing the ceremony. <The details of their introduction was never a topic for discussion (as with so many thingsfromher life). From what I discovered about the typical nightlife during my adult years In Salt Lake City (a strict community). It is most likely that they met In a beer bar (Utah permits only 2% beer). It was probably much the same in the late 1940s as I discovered in the late 1980s, since some changes come slowly to Salt Lake. > In the Winter of 1949, Michael A. - her third child - their first son, was bom In the same hospital as my mother, the Old Salt Lake County Hospital. At this time, they lived In the Sugarhouse district, a neighborhood southeast of downtown Salt Lake City. Both bad been unemployed for some time, so they were unabletoline up a doctorforthe birth of theirfirstchild. When her time came (based on Information gathered by Michael), she was rushedtothe county hospital and, by happenstance, a distant cousin to my father (Dr. Fred D, Kartchner) was found to deliver Michael. <Growing up, my father occasionally made comments like, "do you want ustoend up In Sugarhouse" when we wanted something that he thought, we could not afford. At the time, this reference never made sensetome - the only 'Sugarhouse' I knew was a beer bar down on the main street near our home in Lakewood. After I began working on the genealogy I discovered that the Sugarhouse neighborhood of Salt Lake City was the location of state prison at the time. It also appears that the area was at the lower end of the local economy. Today, this area has become a trendy section of Salt Lake. Some of the land where the prison once stood Is now a very popular park In that city. >

Her growing family moved frequently. Based on my father's work history/ they lived at several addresses throughout the greater Salt Lake Valley. It Is also possible that they also went as far north as Lewiston, Utah (Cache Co.) to live on the Kartchner Family farm on the outskirts of that city. Michael recalls: "when I was very young living In Grandmother Kartchner's home, that we I guess it was Jack, Linda and I would go down trie street to what was some sort of creek, where wild asparagus grew and we would pick it for her". <Fresh Asparagus would remain one of her favorite foods. Some of her other favorite foods Induded 'Liver 81 Onions', 'Stuffed Green Peppers', 'Fresh Cauliflower In cheese sauce', 'Stuffed Tomotes', Baked Potatoes, Baked Onion Rings, and Lobster (after some of the kids left home). Pecans and Cashews over most other nuts. 'Fresh' Strawberries, "Fresh' Peaches & cream', and 'Fresh' Pineapple (thinking about It, she loved "Fresh*fruits& vegetables, definitely preferred over canned or frozen). "Pull-apart" Cinnamon Bread, Pecan Pie and Mincemeat Pie. 'Rolos' - a popular brand of carmel filled candy, 'Payday' nut bars and most anything mint. "REAL" Butter (this was always on the table, just for her), Orange Marmalade, and Chill Sauce. And of course, coffee, there was always a pot brewing, and a meal was not a meal without that cup of coffee. Mom was not much of a drinker - when an occasion did arise, she enjoyed 'Bloody Marys', Margaritas and 'Cold Duck' (a pink, sparkling german wine - a mixture of champagne, sparkling Burgundy and sugar). >

It would be anotherfiveyears before the next child was added to her family, a third son - that would be me (Winter 1954, at St Marks hospital). Then nearly one year later to the day, her second daughter Patrida A. (Winter 1955) was bom. During these years, the family Hved near downtown Salt Lake City, at 600 North and 200 West. With the five of us ranging In age from newborn to nine, Mom stayed at home to care for us.

Later in 1955, the family moved to California's San Gabriel Valley. During the years following his Army Service, my father attempted to find employment with some branch of the Federal Govemment. He did work briefly for It in Utah, but decided that the only real chance for Federal employment would be In California. These first years In Califomia were hard for her. Besides being away from her family and home for thefirsttime, early in 1956, she discovered that she was "with child" again. This last child. Dale I., was bom in the Fall of 1956, Unfortunately, he lived less than a year. There are no details of Baby Dale's health and death, but It must have affected her deeply. Based on reflections of my father (to Michael), this Ices combined with 'homesickness" prompted my mother to retum to Utah In late 1957. However, she retumed to California in the spring, vowing never to live through another Utah winter. <For many years, it would be a family ritual to visit Dale's grave every Memorial Day - no matter where the family was living in the greater Los Angeles area. > After moving a few more times around the valley, the family eventually moved out of San Gabriel and settled in a modest house in Wilmington (now Carson) in 1958. We lived here for nearly four years, during which time the youngest reached school age. With the all kids now In school. Mom began working as a machine operator for Kaiser Aluminum. A Job she continued at until shortly after the family moved to a new house In Artesia In 1962 (an area eventually absorbed into the community of Lakewood). Her kids ranged In agefromseven to sixteen at the time of this move to Artesia. All five of us were at home until shortly after the move, at which time a dispute over the handling of Jack (the oldest) divided my parents. Jack was eventually sent to live with Gram. As with so many other events that challenged and clouded her life, the truth died with my mother.

My father began his twenty-year career at the United States Naval Shipyard in Long Beach about the time of the move to the Artesia house. The combination of his new position and the responsibilities of setting up the "new" house, allowed (forced?) my mother to retum to the home during the first few years. Occasionally taking in laundry and ironing to earn some discretionary cash. My Mom kept a neat, comfortable home (to describe the style of furnishings, contemporary comes to mind), but was not overly committed tbat It should be "Immaculate". She expected us to do our chores, keep our room orderly and take care of our things, but for the most part she allowed us to be "kids". She loved to surround the house and yard with wild rose bushes, along with any other flowers that would grow with least fuss. But, I cannot remember her spending much of time tending the garden. My Mom was proficient on a sewing machine (allowing her to make repairs and adjustments to our clothes) and attempted to teach It to both Linda and Patrida. As a cook, I remember that Mom did "wonders" with what we had (Michael recalls that she referred to her cooking style as "Poorman's Cooking"), even If she may not have had 'a real joy' for either cooking or baking. Her meat loaf, 'chili 81 cornbread' and 'chicken & dumplings' were great. Her 'Baked' rice pudding, bread pudding and banana bread were superior to anything that I have come across since. She also had a most unusual recipe for fruit salad (with a com starch based juice dressing), a style I have not found anywhere else. She was definitely a "Down Home" cook, but she was not afraid to try new and different things - she did acquire several popular cook books of the time. Similarly, she welcomed many of the newest kitchen gadgets, such things as the "Croc Pot" and the Microwave Oven (My father bought her one of the very first counter-top models. Despite the limitations of the early versions. Mom wasted little time leaming the best ways to use It). Someone once said, "time filters our memories toward only the positive". As with all families, we all did things that angered her, but she was slow to show her temper. Most often, after a brief outburst, she would remove herself from the situation to calm down, either locking herself In her room or by going out for a drive. I remember that often she and myfetherhad some very 'heated' arguments. Seldom did she display the same level of "fire" to any of her kids. My most vivid memory of her temper was sometime during my early teen years, the cause long forgotten. She became so angry that she threw an 'allegedly unbreakable' plate against a wall and shattering it, after which sheretreatedto her room. Similarly, I cannot recall that she ever 'spanked' any of us. (This was not so with my father. Even over my Mom's attempts to stop him, It sometimes seemed that he was quick to pull his belt, with Michael receiving the brunt of his discipline.). We grew up knowing that we had a strong heritage in the Mormon Church on both sides of the family. My Mom occasionally welcomed the Home Teacher visits - but she (they) never forced any of us to accept that church or any other. As a family, we did not participate In any of the 'meetings' associated with the Mormon Church, nor do I recall ever going to diurth Sunday. However, she was pleased when each of us sought some Instruction on our own, began attending church and received baptism as Mormons. (In retrospect, I think the kids accepted the church to please our patemal grandmother, who was very much a devotee.)
m

Nor was politics atopicthat came up around the dinner table very often. We would talk about current events, but I do not recall either of my parents stating a specific political preference. I do not believe that she (or our father) ever voting In a single election. <One of my favorite memories of her: During the late 1960s, the Forest Service ran a television ad illustrating an "offbeat" benefit of preventing forest fires - it showed how the rings of an old growth tree could be used to mark events In human history. At the end, the narration cut to a portion of the 1941 radio announcement of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Mom walked in the door just at the words, "Japanese attack Pearl Harbor" and her Immediate reaction was, "Damn It, they did It again!". When we pointed out that It was a tv commercial, we all got a laugh out of it. >

During our childhood, my Mom continually strived to give and do all that she could for us - at times CN& the objections of our father. When one of us had an opportunity to join in a school or community event, she did whatever necessary to make sure that that child would not be left out. Again Michael recalls:"... not long after we moved to Artesia, I was In the Sixth Grade, and the time for the school camp came, dad said that there was no way we could afford it, but Mom told me not to worry that she wouldfinda way to allow me to go, and somehow she made it happen". So resolute my mother wastomake sure that her children would have it better than she did as a child, when the "Credit Card" became common and easy to get - she became an early victim to the convenience. Soon, the family found Itself in debt - generating a new level of friction between my parents. It forced her back Into the "full time" work force. During the 1960s, she joined Gram working for the Kress Department Store at Rossmoor. After her treatment for breast cancer, she found employment at the Woolworth's at the newly built Cerrltos Center. (Both store chains have long been out of business.) <My mother may have also worked as a "chocolate dipper". Where and when Is unknown. Whenever we had boxed chocolates, she could Identify the interior of a piece by the "swirl" of the chocolate. She always took delight watching the chocolate dippers that worked at Knotts Berry Farm In Buena Park. (Sadly, these chocolate dippers can not longer be seen there). > Her kids seem to have contrasting memories of the holidays. My memories suggest that Mom really enjoyed and lookedforwardtothe holidays every year (going all outforeach). Michael believes that she would use these events as justification for all the things that she wanted for us, or as expression of her love for us. When she worked, she could either make purchases on her own or set aside funds that were outside the control of my father:
i

Easter - Always included a new set of "GOOD" clothes and a special breakfast at IHOP. 1 <The only other times 'the family would go out for a meal would be an ocasslonal visit to either a Sundowner or Stater's Steakhouse. > Halloween - When we all went out Trick or Treating', our costumes were often of tiie same theme. She made sure that we always finished our (traditional) pot pies and hot apple cinder before we could go out for the night. Memorial and Labor Day - We always joined with one or both of her siblings for a picnic and so that the fathers could watch the car races. Thanksgiving - Was the traditional, near "Rockwell" In menu and setting. And was limited to the family. Christmas - She definitely went all out. Often combined with the celebration of Gram's birthday, which was on 24 December. As we entered our teens, we tended to have a small celebration on Christmas Eve,forwhich we could Invite a friend. The only exception from the traditional Christmas trappings, was the use of an artificial tree. My mother could not be In the same room with a real Christmas tree for very long without becoming ill. So we had an aluminum tree - always trimmed with bright red bulbs and highlighted with a "Color Wheel". <My mother was allergic to evergreens and some hard woods. So much so, that during the Christmas season before Patricia's 18th birthday, she was reconditioning an old wood "Hope Chest" and a splinter lodged In her hand. She had to be rushed to an emergency room for Immediate treatment Mom also had an intolerance to animal hair, so anytime a kid wanted to have adogorcat,*twasoutofthe question. That Is not to say that we did not have pets; there were the occasional goldfish when we were ^ery young. In our teen years, I kept tropicalfishand I believe that my sister had one or more canaries or parakeets. We also had a yard tortoise for years. >

Early in 1967, she was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Her treatments Included a radical excision of the breast tissue and the standard radiation treatment. A complication from the surgery caused damage to a lymph node. This damage forced her to deal with a lymphatic arm the rest of her life. These cancer treatments also effected her weight Until hertotaldisability, she was constantly trying to get a handle on It. She tried everythingfromthe counbess, 'popular", diet programs of that time to Weight Watchers (with only marginal success). Mom lovedtodrive, she did not have a preference for a make or model of car, just as long as it got her where she wantedtogo. It was her means to "independence". Whether it was a simple trip to the grocery store or on thefewfamily trips that we took, she was always behind the wheel, opting to stop and rest rather than surrender the driving to my father (or anyone else, which was frustrating to a kid needing or wanting to get In some practice for that day we were to be allowed to get a driver's license). <ln many ways, I believe that when my Mom was later paralysed, that her Inability to drive anymore (her means of independence) was almost as 'mentally* damaging to her as were the effects of the cancer, > With alt of us In school, she had the opportunity to 'explore' on those days she did not work. Michael recalls that she loved to drive along the beaches of Southern California, primarily those In the Long Beach area. Michael remembers that she would often park on the street at a beach, gazing out on the ocean - but she would rarely venture onto the beach. This no doubt led to her discovery of one of her favorite places, the 'Ports of Call' Village located In San Pedro (near the today's location of the Queen Man/, but today's Village' Is but a shadow of the quaint - "old fashion" setting she found so attractive). Another one of her favorite places was Knotts Berry Farm (long before It's current 'Amusement Park' layout, when most of It was still free to the public and ifs simple, "western" themefeatureswere appealing to her).

She was drawn to "themed" areas, places that allowed her to "escape". The city of Solvang, hear Santa Barbara, also fascinated her. She discovered It on one of her trips to San Francisco to visit Michael when his ship was In port. A dty that boasts a strong "Danish" atmosphere. In architecture and In the 'mask', many of Its businesses, display to tourists. <It seems that she had a different place that she shared with each of us. For me, It was Ports of Call (this where we went after my graduation from junior high school). Michael recalls that they often went to Knotts for their time together. (Just south from Knotts - on Beach Blvd., was also a favorite restaurant of my Mom. The old 'Van de Camp", long gone - It was In the design of a "dutch" windmill. It was her place to go on very special occasions. She also enjoyed eating at Clifton Cafeteria, an elaborately designed and furnished restaurant chain. Located In many major shopping centers, a restaurant with a well-stocked menu served in "cafeteria" format It seems that she ate there on the days they presented a noontime fashion show.) I am not sure which spots she set aside to share with Linda or Patricia. Her sister, Elaine,recalledthat when they had lunch, my mom would often take her to a favorite restaurant near the Marina In Long Beach > Another one of her favorite places was Las Vegas. She and my father went there In celebration of their wedding anniversary In March and many times It was her present to herself when her birthday came around in October. (Another, of the few pleasures that she allowed herself, was a trip to the hair salon) She like to gamble and to see the shows. Plus, the "glamorous" setting would again allow her to escape. It was their place, the only time the kids would be along would be if we stopped there during one of the trips we made to visit relatives still In Utah. But I doremember,once, after we got older, they took us along - 1 remember late night swims In the motel pool and spending hours roaming the strip..."people watching". <My Auntrememberedthat Mom's lucky number was "3". Whenever she was playing KENO In Las Vegas, she would play the numbers with three; 3,13, 23, e t o

In remembrance of her 'explorations". Mom collected souvenir coffee mugs from the places she discovered, and of course, she would received these as gifts as well. If memory serves, her collection eventually covered the better part of two walls in the dinning area of the Lakewood house. The other collecting she did was of Silver US coins and 'Silver Certificate" currency and Michael alsorecallsthat she collected Piggy Banks. The friends that she made while working at Kress, Introduced her to many new things - ranging from the Quarter Horse races at the Los Alamltos Racetrack and to "Light Opera" (now I think It Is refered as Musical Theater). She continued enjoy both long after she left Kress up to the time of her disability. <She seemed to have hadfewfriends. After her death, 1foundthe little phone book that she always carried. The book had many names listed. Except those of family and neighbors -1 recognized few. As mentioned earlier, she was close to her mother and her sister, Elaine. The only friends I really remember are two that she had while working at Kress - Bonnie and Sylvia and the two neighbors she felt comfortable with - Millie and Peggy. > It has been nearly thirty years since her passing and It is difficult to remember many things about her, inducting other things that she enjoyed. She liked to read the novels by Harold Robbins, Jacqueline Susanne, etc.. Michaelremembers:1 do recall mom enjoyed reading romantic novels. I recall once when moving a sofa or sofa type bed, inside was filled with this type of paper backs". She appeared divided musically between the "Big Band" soundsfromher youth (possibly with Benny Goodman, Sinatra and the MUls Brothers being her favorites) and "Country Western" (Hank Williams, 31m Reeves and Charley Pride comes to mind In this category). She enjoyed the offerings of Nat King Cole and Tennessee Emie Ford, although I am not sure where they fit Into the spectrum of music noted above. Some of her other favorite things: fragrance was "Chanel #5"; color either blue or green and flowers - Roses. Like most women, she had favorite daytime soaps, primarily those on ABC, specifically - "Ryan's Hope" (long off the air) and "AU My Children". As for nighttime TV, my father tended to dominate the viewing choices - but she enjoyed "Payton Place", "Perry Mason", The Lawrence Welk Show", "The Andy Williams Show", 'The Dean Martin Hour", "The Tom Jones Show" (I believe that she saw Welk, Martin and Jones when they had shows In Vegas) and of course, The Grand Ole' Opry". Her all-time favorite movie was "Gone with the Wind". She made a point of watching It whenever a "butchered" version appeared on TV or when one of the local theaters had a special revival screening of It, I believe, but not certain, that her favorite movie stars were Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy. Despite her health problems, my mother always showed concern for and pride In our school experiences. Michael recalls that she was a member of the PTA when all of us attended Bonita Elementary when we lived in Wilmington. I know that she attended the 'Open Houses', etc. during our school years In Artesia/Lakewood. Also, as described earlier, she always (despite the family financial condition) made sure that we could participate In school events, ranging from school camp (a real treat for all of us) to Drill Team (Linda); from Drivers Education (something our father did not embrace, he made us wait until our 18th birthday to get a license) to the events surrounding our graduations. <I graduated Haskell Junior High In 1967 and Irememberedhow much It meant to me that she tried so hard to make it a spedal day for me. Despite the feet that it was Just after her surgery and she was still in radiation therapy. > Particularly proud that her kids graduated high school, something she may not have done (as noted earlier), my Mom made sure that we each got our Yearbooks, our Class Rings and that we had good dothes to wear tor the ceremony. She had her "wall of pride" In our living room displaying several special, composite prints from our early childhood, many of our school portraits, wedding and military portraits.

She was even prouder that the two older boys met their military obligation during the Vietnam era. Jack, the oldest, served the Army and had one tour of duty in Vietnam - stationed in Texas after his retum. Michael enlisted into the Navyrightafter high school. He served four years as an Aircraft Maintenance Airman on the attack aircraft carrier, USS Coral Sea CVA-43 (with several deployments to Vietnam). Whenever they were back in the United States, she took every opportunity to visit with them. <One of my mother's most prized possessions would be a Blue Navy Deck Jacket that Michael gave her. He had made up with patches for all the ports of call his ship visited during his enlistment. She wore it constantly, with great pride. It seemed to represent her delight that (despite the circumstances) that one of her children could see so much of the world. > Although, she seemed pleased that she had lived to see most of her children married. She did seem saddened that she was not able witness each joining. Jack married his first wife, Karen in Las Vegas without the knowledge of anyone (except maybe Gram). Unda met her husband, Frank, about the time she graduated high school. He enlisted In the Air Force shortly afterward. Initially stationed In Florida - this is where Linda and Frank married. Michael met his first wife, Jayma, while both were working for a Nursing Home. They married In her parents home - but due to my mother disability, she was not able to attend. Patricia's first marriage seems to upset my mother as much as It may have pleased her. Patrida "eloped" on the day of her 18th birthday (to Vegas, I believe), marrying John, a man who was a neighbor of Mike and Jayma. In Spring of 1973, visiting my father's family In Utah, my mother - sitting In my grandfather's easy chair - complained that she had no feelings In her legs. After being taken to the hospital, she learned that her cancer had resurfaced, progressed and attacked her nervous system. After being treated by a doctor In Utah, she wasflownhome and admitted to the Kaiser Permamente Hospital In Bellfiower. , At thattime,the common wisdom was that if a victim of cancer went five years without recurrence, that they had beat the disease. Despite her regular visits for follow-up, this event was a shock to us all. The spread of cancer left her paraplegic and bedridden therestof her life. After a short stay in a physical therapy center, she retumed to our Lakewood homeforthe last year or so of her life. A visiting nurse, the family and a fewfriendsdid their best to care for her. Initially, she could get around in a wheelchair and the use of a borrowed van. This did not last long due to escalating levels of pain and discomfort. She spent the last several months of her life In bed. We believed that she struggled to hold on long enough to see her first grandchildren: a son for Jack, a girl for each of her daughters. <Eventually the number of her grandchildren would Increase to thirteen. Jack had a son with Karen and four or five additional children with his second wife, Robin; Linda would have two daughters; Michael had a daughter with Jayma and wouW father the only Kartchner male with his second wife, Caroline (he also adopted her daughter from a previous marriage); and Patricia would also have two daughters. > She died at 7:20am, shortly after waking on Friday 07 February 1975. Her death certificate listed the exact cause of death as: "Cardiac Standstill, due to Carcinoma of the breast, w/ Metastasis". She was only 46 years old. <I believe that my mother knew that she was about to die. She had always expressed great concerns and fears of being left In a nursing home to die. (Michael confirmed this belief Just recently). In retrospect, I remember that had she asked several of us to take her back to the hospital. Ultimately it seems that her fear (discomfort) of being a burden to us far out weighed the "fear of dying alone" In a strange place. >

It rained the day of my mother's funeral. She had a modest service. All of the family (including Patricia and her family, who had moved up to Washington State just a few months before), several from my father's family and a few friends were present. She was laid to rest Tueday 10 February 1975 (approximately 11:00am) at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cypress, California.

Gary Kartchner May 15, 2004

[Updated and revised January 1, 2005] In closing, I do not know If my mother either read or even knew who William Butler Yeats was, but when I first heard the poem read - my mind was drawn to her:

And noddinif, by tkejjtie, take doom- tkid, book, And dowitf, lead, and jAeant of the deft look IjouA, etfed, had once, and of tkeit, ^had/Hud, deep; Jloup many, loved you* momenta of alad efface, And loved yowi Iseaidy. witk love falde on, hue, Hut one man, loved tke pilaw* tout in, uon,, And loved tke 4owo4v4, of you* ckanaina-face; And bendmcj, down betide Ute (flowing bate,, MnAmm, a little dadUf, koui J!ove fled And paced upon tke *Hou4>Uain4, ovenJtead And kut kiA, face amid a c/mvd of ita/u,.

Guidelines for Reading and Understanding the Individual Summaries

The breadth of this endeavor was to unearth the direct lineage between my generation and the contributing progenitors. A Summary Sheet amassed for each individual. Ordered generationatly, going back to at least the third or fourth Pedigree Level - as harvested from volumes and "bits" of material discovered. There is a degree redundancy, due to an aspiration to make each Record as extensive as possible; to allow someone to evaluate each Summary without having to flip to that of his or her mates or parents. Unless specified to the contrary, all baptism information is within the framework of the LDS Church. All other religious events will be noted under Other Information. Census information is released 72 years after the Census Year. Census listings will be for only those in which are available. Much of 1890 Census was destroyed in a fire at the Commerce Department in the 1920's. The scheduling of census taking varied since they began, 1850 was done early in 1851 those that followed were done in different months. Beginning with the 1900 census, it seems as if it alternates between January and April. As a result, ages may vary by a year in either direction The gauge of information collected during each census has increased. From 1790-1840, only the Head of Household was recorded, all others simply counted within age categories. Beginning with the 1850 Census, the names of the wife and children were recorded. Each subsequent census included more categories in the effort to get a better picture of the trends and patterns of the growing population of the United States. Due to writing styles; errors in spelling of both given and surnames; and/or poor condition of individual census sheets, attempts to index them 72 years after [and various efforts over the years] would result in either the complete exclusion of names or mistranscription of many. This has been true In more than a half dozen census searches. Major portions of the Army Military records from 1912 through 1959 - stored at the National Records Center in Saint Louis, MO - were destroyed in a fire 12 July 1973. Military references made were discovered and verified from alternate sources available to the National Center as well as that in the Utah State Archives in Salt Lake City, UT. The management of personal records [birth, death, marriage, etc] varied from state to state. By 1907, most states, cities and counties were required by law to maintain records for all personal events. Many states archive county records - generally, those records for the year 50 years prior to the current year [l.e. in 2003, all records for 1953 were sent for archiving]. The search for employment records was extremely limited. Except for those who had employment with some agencies of the Federal Government - which proved to be revealing and helpful in discovering or confirming addresses and education. After the events of 11 September 2001, many govemment agencies at the federal, state and local levels passed laws to make it more difficult to acquire personal records. There after many states required the submission of copies of state issued photo ID cards and a declaration of need for the document requested. If more than one last known address is noted, the addresses will begin at the death, so on.

Advisory and Disclaimer

Following are the Individual Summaries for those in the pedigree that could be documented. Most of which have been limited to their experiences in the growing United States. On the Maternal side, unfortunately, documentation could only be found going back to the Great Great Grandparents, with the exception of George/Lucy Cox and Joseph/Alice Crowton. On the Patemal side, records have been more fruitful. With the exception of the Blythe Family, Family Records can be taken back to the various Great Great Great-Grandparents. The information presented can be viewed as accurate, at least as accurate as can be possible since some information is from second hand sources: Census Records Birth Certificates Marriage Records Death Certificates Published Obituaries Government Records These records tend to be pretty reliable, but it must be remembered the errors occurred at the time the records were completed and errors could have occurred in the interpretation of the information that these sources provide. Unfortunately, a great deal of the infonnation that could have truly fleshed out these glimpses were not readily available since that from thefemaleside of each family tended to be discounted as lacking in importance and thus Lost Researched from 1 January 2003 - 1 January 2006 Seattle, Washington & Salt Lake City, Utah

Dona Viola Welch [1928-1975]

19 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) Census: 1930 : Salt Lake City UT, Viola, 1 yrs @ 361 W. Fifth So, living with [aunt] Rachel Foster [T626-2419/Pg:104/Line: 7] Never really knowing her father and growing up during the marriage of her mother to Allen Herman Munz - her early years seem to have been volatile. Researching the Polk Directories for the 1930's and 1940', it was discovered that her mom and siblings seem to have been at a different address every year until the War Years. Her experiences during the Depression and the War years seems to typical for a girl of her age, but sadly, as with her sister Elaine, she never finished her education. Aug 1943: based on an application for a "Delayed Certificate of Birth" filed by her mother, an address of 467 South 300 East SLC was listed. Oct 1947: at the time of Linda Elaine's birth, she resided @ 212 South 13th West, SLC. (Based on verbal accounts, this was an address used by the family due to its stability - being first the last home of her maternal grandparents, later an aunt. So her actual residence may have been elsewhere in SLC.) Her workplace history includes: Kaiser Alunimum, Kress Dept Store, Woolworth's. [Possibly for a candy maker] Children: With unknown: Jack R. 16 July 1946-; & Unda E. [Vernazzaro] 28 Oa 1947With Delmar: Michael A. 16 Dec 1949-; Gary L. 08 Jan 1954-; Patricia A.

In 1973, her cancer resurfaced and progressed attacking her spine, rendering her bedridden Under the care of Henry R. Stiepel M.D. 9400 Rosecrans, Bellfiower, CA. Death Certificate: #0190-006339 - Los Angeles County Register [filed 10 Feb 1975] revealed the causes of death noted above and indicated that his remains were removed and prepared by Forest Lawn Mortuary, Cypress, CA on 08 Feb 1975.

Alice Lauretta Smith [1907-1989]

19 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) Birth : Apparently her birth was not registered. She applied for a "Delayed Certificate of Birth" [Utah Board of Health Certificate # 11064], filed 25 Aug 1943 in Salt Lake City. Alice S. Munz at the time, she listed an address of 467 South 300 East and used a small notebook of family history, the 1928 Birth Certificate of Dona Viola and an notarized affidavit from her sister [Rachel Hilton] as support of her identity. Census: 1910 Salt Lake City, UT, 3 yrs <s/b 2.5> @ Arapahoe St and 1400 West [2nd Ward], [T624-1606/ED: 111/Pg: 44/Line: 38] 1920 Salt Lake City UT, 12 yrs @ 658 South West Temple, [T625-1866/ED:125/Pg: 160/Line: 29] 1930 Salt Lake City UT, 22 yrs @ 353 W. Fifth So, renting room ($6) from brother Walter E. Smith [T626-2419/Pg: 103/Line: 92] Alice's first child, June, was put up for adoption. The Sumame of her adoptive family was Harvey. Her married name would become Steenbock.

Page 2

Based on notations in the Polk City Directories for Salt Lake City, for at least two years after Frank C Welsh and Alice separated, Alice L. (Smith) worked as a seamstress for the Work Progress Administration. Alice S. Welch married and divorced Allen Munz twice. First ceremony witnessed by Rena B. Loomis & _ C. Westwood, conducted by John A Harter, Bishop (LDS?). Her daughter, Elaine, recalled that despite the overall 18 year marriage to Munz, that he tended to be abusive to their mother. At one point, after an agrument, Munz totally boarded up their house near 500 East and 300 South [near today's City Library]. For a time, Alice and the kids had to fmd refuge with one of her sisters. The police had to be brought into the picture, for them to return to their own home. The would divorce for the second time in 1954. Marriage Certificate: #23444 [Elko, NV District Court file #5931] Alice Lauretta Munz married William David Charles witnessed by Albert H. & Aleata V. World, joined by Taylor H. Wines, District Judge. [Address @ time - 603 North 2nd West, SLC, UT]. Divorced him 21 Jan 1958 [finalized 6 Feb 1959] in Los Angeles, CA - Final Judgement #D527 663. During her marriage to William Charles, it appears that they travelled extensively. William Charles was a "Sport Fisherman" often having Alice with him, which she seems not to have enjoyed. Vital Stats: Based on a US Sixth Army Civilian Employee ID Card [issued 23 Mar 1951] noted that she was working under the name "Alice L. Welsh" as a Maintenance Laborer in the Artillery Section of the Tooele Ordinace Depot, Tooele, Utah. Based on NARA Form 13037: She worked for the government twice during the 1940's and 1950s. The first time was for two months during the summer of [1 May - 2 July] 1943 as a "Laundry Flat Work Ironer - Grade 2" @ .62/hr for the War Department in Salt Lake City. The second period was between 15 March 1951 to 12 June 1953 [height of the Korean Conflict] for the Department of the Army, Tooele, Utah. Hired as a "Maintenance Laborer, WB3" @ $1.14/hr moving to "Artillery Repairer, WB5" @ $ 1,75/hr - services terminated by "Reduction in Force". (Based on an Verbal Accounting, she may have left the first government service to clean troop trains during the remainder of Second World War.) Children :--AII born in Salt Lake City With Unknown: June C. [Steenbock] 25 Nov 1924-17 Dec 1999 <75 yrs> With Frank Welsh: Dona Viola [Kartchner] 02 Oct 1928-07 Feb 1975 <46 yrs>; Wilma Elaine [Lane/Johnson] 19 Jun 1930-; & Donald Frank 01 Nov 1931Her "In Remembrance" card, indicated that her remains were removed and prepared by Larkin Mortuary Company, Salt Lake City.

Frank Carter Welsh [1898-1963]

19 Oct 2005 Page 2

Notes (Continued)
Contributing to Death : Bronchopneumonia - complicated by Silicosis Birth : No formal record was filed at the time of Frank's birth. "Record of Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints / Record of Member's Children" [LDS FHL Microfilm 25864 - entry 1068] Frank [no middle initial] was baptized and blessed 9 September 1909, but these membership/baptism records confirm that he was born 27 November 1898 in Coalville. An article from the "Park Record" newspaper dated 24 March 1916 described a party given for the just married Sarah (Sadie) Welsh to William Swainston prior to her joining her husband at Ruth, Nevada. At the very end of the article, it also reported that "Mrs. Frank Welsh" was also there. This could not have been Alice L. Smith, she would have been 9. Checking the "Record of Marriage Licenses for Summit County" between 1914-1916, did not provide any information about this possible first marriage of Frank Welsh. Such a marriage may have been conducted in another county of Utah or even in Wyoming. A photograph found in the files of Alice, revealed that Frank was either in the Army or with the Utah National Guard at the time he and Alice met - holding the rank of Corporal. A search of the Cole City Directories of the 1920's did show a Frank C. Welsh living at Fort Douglas, but these entries were not clear as to his duties or assignment. Based on the Divorce papers filed by Frank Welsh, in Cody, Park Co., WY; Alice and Frank were married 6 Jul 1925 at Salt Lake City, UT. Their marriage was dissolved 27 February 1936. And that he had been a resident of Wyoming for at least one year prior to his filing for divorce. When Frank Welsh filed and was granted a divorce from Alice L. Smith while in Park County, Wyoming in 1936 - it is possible that he was visiting or staying with/near his sister Lillian Young (Mrs. John Henry Young). SSDI records revealed that she lived in that county at one time.
4

There was one other marriage. Based on a letter from his sister Ethel to Alice [discovered late in 2004], his second wife left him at least 10 years prior to his death. Census: 1900 Coalville, UT, 1 yrs [T623-1686/Pg: Ill/Line: 83] 1910 Coalville, UT, 11 yrs [T624-1608/Pg: 134/Line: 59] 1920 Not found in Coalville - possibly in Wyoming or in military service. 1930 Not found in Coalville - possibly in Bingham Canyon, UT Apparently, Frank fell upon hard times and spent time on the streets of Seattle during the early 1950's. During a hospital stay - recovering from a "beating", Frank suffered a stroke - leading to hospitalization. Under the care of Joy R. Jaffe M.D. Sedro Woolley, WA.. Spend approximately the last ten years of his life at the Northern State Mental Hospital, near Sedro Woolley, Skagit Co., Wa. Death certificate also indicates that he was in other care facilities in Washington State during the early 1950's - the King County Hospital - possibly Harborview. Except for Harborview, the others are no longer operating. Death Certificate: #11096, Washington State Dept. of Health [filed 5 Jun 1963] revealed the causes of death noted above and indicated that his remains were removed and cremated by Bonney-Watson Funneral Home, Seattle on 31 May 1963. [NSH Hospital -listed as informant]. As noted above, his cremated remains were interned in the Rock Springs Cemetery in the Mountain View half and his plot [Block 401 Lot 5 Grave 1] is located in the northwest part of Mayor J. B. Young section of Mountain View. This plot was owned by the family of his sister, Ethel Sawley. Last known addresses : Northern State Hospital, Sedro Woolley, WA [closed 1973] / McNeils Nursing Home, 12015 15th NE, Seattle, WA [closed N/A] / possibly Harborview Hospital, Seattle.

E./Bride: SHARP L. E. / Place of Marriage: Logan, Cache Co., UT. 1917 : A draft registration card [Card #30 for Cache County Registration Board, dated June 1917] was discovered indicating that had a wife and young child, but he did not specifically ask for exemption due to dependency. This card noted that he was working as a blacksmith for the Amag. Sugar Company near Lewiston and that he was 25 years old - of "medium" height and stature with blue eyes and had a full head of light colored hair. 1940's : Based his son's, Delmar, military records [1942-1945] and his mother's death notice [published Monday, 24 Nov 1947] Lewiston continued to be home through the late 1940's. 1951-1961: After the move to Ogden he worked as a Aircraft Welder Grade W-8-3 [ID# K-07550] at the Hill Airforce Base Sept 1951- Feb 1961. Civil Service records (201 File) indicated that he retired due to disability. An entry in the "Kartchner Family Book" [compiled by Sarah Palmer Collinwood, LDS FHL 929.273 K149c], details that Alvin developed a severe case of arthritis, This eventually forced him to shut down his own blacksmith shop in Lewiston about 1949. He moved [1949-1950] his family to Ogden, Weber Co., so that LuRea could find work. Listed in the Ogden City Polk Directories irregularly between 1951-1990. His blacksmith skills were noted in "A History of Lewiston" [compiled by Dr. J.M. Bernttisel, pg 70, LDS FHL 979.212/L2 H2b] quoted as written, but it may be that the author had confused him for his father's effort. "Aron Kartchener, the Third Ward blacksmith has operated a shop for about twenty-five years at the same stand. This time has been well taken up by the people of the ward, who loyally support him. For the last few years, his health has been poor and he has been forced to be absent from his shop. Much of the time at the present time, the shop is closed whie he spends much of his time in Ogden under the doctor's care." This book also has all four of his older sons listed on a Honor Roll of World War II Veterans. [IBID, pg 199] In addition to his own blacksmith shop; Alvin, worked in the metal shops of the Railroad [Union Pacific?], did some farm work and spent two years in the shops of Brigham Cooper. Children : Alvin H. 1917-2004, Rubin S. 1918-1918, Richard W. 1919-2004, Delmar I. 1921-2002, Kenneth A. 1923-1995, Erma K. 1924-1924, Arill L. 1926-1926, Nolan J. 1928- , Joan 1930-1930, Carol 1934-2001. Five of their children are buried in the same lot as Alvin and LuRea - four that died shortly after birth at the foot of their joint grave marker: Rubin S., Erma K., Arill L. and Joan. Their last born child, Carol is buried right next to them - her stone (possibly Plot: 55/1/W/3] indicates that she died in 2001 [her internment is listed as Carol Sharp Kartchner]. Death Certificate # 143-76-000294, Utah State Division of Health [filed 29 Jan 1976] revealed the causes of death and indicated that his remains were removed and prepared by Linguist & Sons Mortuary, Ogden, UT on 31 Jan 1976.

20 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) Children : Ethel [Sawley] 1891-1982, Clara [Miller/Moore] 1903-1942, Sarah (Sadie) [Swainston] 1893-1985. John Thomas 1879-1931, Mary Jane 1882-1882, Ruth May 1883-1885, Henry Earl 1895-1974, Agnes Maud [Stillman] 1901-1994, Lillian [Young] 1888-1974, 8i James Edward 1885-1953. Utah Burial Index shows that Sarah was born in Sharon, PA; but her Death Certificate as well as Internet sources show Nelsonville, OH. The information in the 1900 and 1910 censuses tend to support that Ohio is correct. Further research indicates that the Williams migrated back to Pennsylvania after her birth and remained there until they emigrated to Utah between May 1874 and May 1876. Sarah's Death Certificate: [#714, Nevada Board of Health filed 30 Sept 1921] revealed the causes of death noted above and indicated that her remains were removed and prepared by O.G. Bates, Undertaker, Ely, NV on 01 Oct 1921. [Dewey Miller her son=in-law, listed as informant]. In addition to causes of death, Sarah was afflicted with Neurasthenia she was in Ely only three days before becoming ill - requiring the attention of a doctor. Page 2

Marriages Spouse Sarah Ann Williams 11861-1921] Mamage Dale/Place 31 Oct 1878 Coalville, Summit Co., UT

Notes [Born on Friday, died on a Tuesday] Note . In her notes of Alice L. Smith, Frank Welsh's first wife, Frank's fathers name was shown as "James". Searching of Census Schedules and the Burial Records for Coalville Cemetery confirmed that it was indeed "Thomas". Researching the history of Coalville, several references were found about a man by the name of Thomas "Jimmie the Miller" Welsh. He was noted to have operated Mills in and around Coalville towards the end of the 19th century. One source suggested that this individual sold his interests and moved to Texas by the 1900. But reviews of the 1880 and 1900 Census Schedules for Coalville recorded that only a single 'Thomas Welsh" was in Coalville. Based on this information, the confusion on the part of Alice is understandable. Occupation : Farmer/Coal Miner Engineer

Thomas A. Welsh [1855-1936]

Notes (Continued) Immigration : The various census records available suggest that Thomas immigrated during three different years -1869; 1876; and 1875. But the Mormon Immigration Index showed that Thomas departed Liverpool, England 22 Oct 1873 - with his father and "Catherine". Believing that Thomas immigrated to the United States with his father, Richard, due to a conversion to the LDS faith, the entry below appears to match with the information known about the Welsh Family. The actual document shows the surname of "WALSH" and that the "Catherine" listed was a "Farm Wife" listed between Richard and Thomas. No other immigration records can be found to reveal when and/or if other members of this family came to the United States. If this is the record for Richard and Thomas, it suggests that Catherine is the wife of Richard; and that Mary Bittle Welsh/Walsh died before commonly believed. A initial search of Death Records for Great Britain did not reveal a obvious entry for Mary Welsh/Walsh death before 1873 nor - was a marriage record discovered for a second wife for Richard.

"Record of Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints / Record of Member's Children" [LDS FHL Film 25864 items 3-5] confirmed that Thomas A. (entry 327), Sarah Ann Welsh (entry 328) and all their children were members of the Coalville Ward of the Summit Stake. An article from the "Park Record" newspaper dated 24 March 1916 described a party given for the just married Sarah (Sadie) Welsh to William Swainston prior to her joining her husband at Ruth, Nevada [the couple were married by JOP NJ. Peterson <his wife was listed as a guest at the party> on 11 March 1916 - "Record of Marriage Licenses for Summit County", pg. 295 / lic# 595 LDS FHL Film 480881]. Most of the Welsh children and Sarah Ann were in attendance. Thomas' Death Certificate: [#650, Utah Board of Health filed 16 Apr 1936] revealed the causes of death noted above and indicated that his remains were removed and prepared by Bingham Mortuary, Bingham Canyon, Salt Lake Co., UT on 17 Apr 1936. [Mrs Wm Sawley - his daughter - listed as informant]. In addition to causes of death, Thomas was affliaed with Hypertrophy of Prostrate. Death Certificate also indicated that Cody, WY was usual residence prior to Thomas' death.

The steamship Nevada sailed from Liverpool with 313 Saints (162 British, 119 Scandinavain, 6 Swiss and German and 26 returning missionaries) in charge of Anthon H. Lund. They arrived at New York Nov. 4th and at Salt Lake City Nov. 10th." <CC, p.l25> Served 3 years wrth the National Guard of Utah. He enlisted at the age on 25 on 8 November 1894 as a Private in Battery A Artillery. He received a Honorable Dischage 1 November 1897. [Source: "Military Record 8i Description of Enlisted Men of the National Guard of Utah, 1894-1910" - pg 459, his granddaughter Elaine also has a "poor" photocopy of his discharge certificate] With his term of enlistment, it is very possible that he would have been call to service to "guard" the various Labor Marches that occured in Utah and the nation at that time. Based on his entry in the book noted above, he had "no schooling" and his occupation was "Laborer".

Notes [Born on Sunday, died on a Saturday] The maiden name of Margaret mother has been recorded several ways: Dobbs, Dabbs, Dadds. The schedules from the 1871 BI Census tends to confirm that the spelling should be "DODDS". In addition, it appears as if Margaret had at least one aunt, Dorothy Ann Dodds - born about 1850. Siblings : Rachel, Michael Dodds, Dorthy Ann, William, & John Fact or myth : One family story suggests that Margaret may have given birth to a child out of wedlock before leaving England. If this story is true, the fate of this child is not known.

However, many states and territories had "Great Registers" listing the registered voters. Both Aaron (age 24 - s/b 26) and his father, William D. (age 70) registered to vote 23 July 1890, In Snowflake, Apache County of Arizona. Arizona Territorial 1890 Great Register Master List - originally published 1890 by the "Weekly Herald", St. Johns, AZ [LDS FHL 979.1 N4s]. 1891: Marriage Certificate: #31259 [Vol. C, pg 38], "wife was recorded as Maggy" witnessed by Orrin Kartchner and M.E Kartchner, joined by John Hunt, Minister of the Gospel in the home of his father, Wm Kartchner. Recorded 09 Jan 1891 with Clerk of the Probate Court for the county of Apache, AZ.

Fact or Myth : Based on an entry in the Kartchner Family Book [compiled by Sarah Palmer Collinwood, LDS FHL 929.273 K149c], shortly after his father death, Aaron decided to expatriate to Canada. But due to the health of Margaret, did not make it out of Idaho. Settle in the Lewiston area of Cache Co., Utah,
Aaron and Margaret were recorded in the Midwives' Birth Register of Cache County, 1898-1904, noting / suggesting the home births of two children - a male 24 DEC 1898: Aaron Blythe (he died shortly after birth) entry 11-479. And a female 8 OCT 1900: Loretta (Note : she would celebrated 91 birthdays), entry 32-884. An abstract of these county records was published in a book of same title, and this information appears on page 54. [LDS FHL 979.212 V22c] The family farm in Lewiston was [reportedly] just down the road from the cemetery in which they were buried.

Two obituaries ran in local newspaper: Wednesday, 7 Jun 1922, in "The Journal" [p. 3] Logan Crty, Cache County, Utah in the "Local News" column was the following;

'The story of my life" - as given to Emma Melissa Jenkins in 1936 I was born on March 12, 1867 at Franklin, Idaho. My father was Ephrim Edker Ellsworth. Mother's name was Elizabeth Rachel Edwards. She died or was burried, I don't know which, on February 19 1878 at Whitney, Idaho. I was home nine months after that then I went to live with Joseph Sharp's grandma until I was 12 years old. Then father gave me to Margret Bennett until I married Irvin Sharp. We were married by L.L. Hatch in Franklin. Later in the temple. Father was not at home for about six weeks, so mother took in boarders. She had to send some of the children after food until father came home. We got back from a freighting trip to Montana. On Christmas about one a.m. so mother made the last flour in the house for his breakfast. Food was obtained in Franklin later. Me and my cousin were the first women to ride the frieght train to Franklin, this was after mother died. Father left for Bosie about six months when mother took sick, she was ill for about two weeks, then died. After this I had a very sad time without her. After mother died we were all seperated out of six children there is only to still alive, I and my brother Philo is all left of mother's family. Father remarried. I saw many Indians. Once I remember the Indians coming and there was no one home to bolt the door, and before my oldest brother got it bolted the Indians came in. They had long willows with mud on the end, which they threw and they certainly stung. They took all the cookies and was tormenting us when grandmother came and said, "here there what are you scoundrells doing? Get out of here." Tbey were soon out of the house and yard. My grandmother and grandfather crossed the plains with the first handcart company. On the way here my grandfather, Ellsworth, died on the planes and a son was born shortly after his wife reached the Salt Lake valley. She later married a man by the name of Johnson. My great grandmother knew the prophet. Once Joseph went into a cabin to hide from the mob. They move passed the cabin because there were cobwebs on the doors and windows. Joseph later said even the animals and insects protected him. The mob came around asking for stray animals but they were really seeking the prophet. When Joseph was kilted the dogs howled along the river and even the cattle knew something was wrong everything was full of suspense and sadness. Grandma Bennett stood with the Smiths when the people saw the mummies and manuscripts at the Smith home. Grandfather Bennett stood guard over Joseph Smith many times. Joseph Smith's cousin married Hyrum Bennett great grandfather's brother. Grandmother Bennett saw Brigham Youn transfigured, they say one man knocked the end out of wagain he was so astonished."

Elizabeth Melissa Ellsworth Sharp The Story of my Ancestors

As told to Ida Jane Sharp Jenkins

A man by the name of Thomas Mcguire Bennett, born 24 February 1816, ten miles from where his wife ws born. Her name was Margaret Wilson, born 22 February 1815, Bedford County, Tennessee. After they married, they lived in a one roomed log house with flowers along the walk and hedge along the sidewalk. One day Brother Bennett went to the store not far away. While he was gone, Mrs Bennett heard a knock on te door - she opened it and there stood a old man with a white beard, a stick on his shoulder - on the end of the stick was a little bundle tied in a red handkerchieft. He told her he was hungry and would she give hime something to eat She asked him in. She gave him what she had, that wasn't very much - but she gave it willingly. He ate it heartily. She gave him water to drink, when he was finished he arose from the table and said, "Lady, I am very tired - would you mind if I lay on the bed?" She said the floor would be alright. So he took his bundle and layed his hed on it. He slept very sound. When he wakened up, he yawned and stretched and then said. "I must be going Lady. I thank you for your good hospitality. You have been kind to me. I bless you with the blessing of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That you will never want for bread, you will live as long as life is desirable". He bid her good day and went away. After he closed the door she opened it to see where he went, but she couldn't see him anywhere. He never went out on the sidewalk for Mr Bennett came home. He was not far from the gate, he never saw him - he just disappeared. The funny part was she had just as much food left as when he came. She never wanted for food. She lived longer than she wanted to. Sometime after that, the Mormon Missionaries came to their home and left a Book of Mormon. When she read it, she knew who the stranger was. They soon joined the church. Not having any children of their own, they both loved children - they were about 28 and 29 years old. They were very friendly with some families by the name of Carter and Edwards. The Edwards were distand relatives of the Bennetts. Joseph Smith's cousin married Hyrum Bennett, great Grandfather's brother. One Sunday. Brother and Sister Bennett walked over to Mrs. Rachel Carter's housetovisit while the men walked seven miles to a meeting. Rachel Carter had taken her sister's baby to care for, she had children of her own, but her sister had died and left a baby girl. They called her Elizabeth Rachel Edwards. She was a very happy baby, she was eight months old, Mrs Carter saw Mr and Mrs Bennett coming, she picked up the baby and went to the door to meet them. She held the baby out in her arms and said, "don't you want a baby, Mrs Bennett?" Mrs Bennett held out her hands and the baby went laughingly to Mrs Bennett. Mrs Bennett not having any children, she took the baby and raised her. Grandpa Esaias Edwards was there and gave his consent for Mrs

Bennett held out her hands and the baby went laughingly to Mrs Bennett. Mrs Bennett not having any children, she took the baby and raised her. Grandpa Esaias Edwards was there and gave his consent for Mrs Bennett to keep the baby. About four years after Mrs Bennett gave birth to a baby boy. She named him William Thomas Bennett. Mr and Mrs Bennett crossed the plains, arriving in Salt Lake in 1852. In Warren Snow's Company, Thomas Bennett was captain over a company of ten wagons. On the way, a widow woman and her small son by the name of Burman was in the company. One day her wagon wheel broke down. The captain of all the company complained and passed her by - but the woman said she would arrive in Salt Lake first anyway. She fixed the wagon and went on before she caught up with the company, a big storm came up, made the road so slick the couldn't travel fast, but the widow's team had rested so they went past the company and arrived in Salt Lake first. The little girl was about eight when they crossed the plains. She had the diarrhea some of the time, Mrs Bennett would stop with her. Then they would have to run to catch up with the wagons. After they arrived in Salt lake they moved to Provo; from there to Cedar Valley; from there to Payson; from Payson to Provo; from there to Logan; from there to Franklin, where they lived and died faithfull Latterday Saints. The littie girl grew up to womanhood and married a man by the name of Ephraim Edgar Ellsworth. Born 25 July 1841 - son of German Ellsworth and Speedy Brown. When their first baby, Ephraim Edgar, was about three weeks old they left the baby with Grandma Bennett and went in a wagon to Salt Lake. There they went to the Endowment House and there sealed to each other, 22 November 1862. They lived in Franklin not far from Grandpa Bennett's. There wasn't much work for the men, so my father would go with the freight trains. One time, he was unable to return for the birth of a baby. Because of Elizabeth's poor health and conditions and lack of food, this baby died and soon after she died of infection. [Harvested from the Family History prepared by distant cousin, Genevieve Joy Jenkins Despain]

Note: In reviewing several sources for the many companies of LDS immigrants, no reference can be found to confirm that the Bennett's and their charge, Elizabeth R. Edwards were apart of the Warren Snow Company of 1852. There is a "Thomas Bennett" listed on this companies' roster, but from the information on him, it is not Thomas Mcguire Bennett - it is does not show his wife, his son, or Elizabeth Edwards. It has also been suggested that they may have been part of the company led by Warren Snow's borther, John C. Snow...available information does not confinn this either. BYU manages a webpage paying tribute to the Pioneer Companies between 1847-1868 and in correspondence wrth them, it has been suggested that there may be several Companies may not have been properly recorded.

Notes (Continued)

James Irvin Sharp - As told to Emma Melissa Jenkins I was bom in Kaysville, Utah - 1866. When I was about six years old, I moved with my parents to what is now know as Preston, Idaho. In Preston, I spent my happy childhood days. When I was still very small, I helped to fight the crickets and grasshoppers off the valuable crops. They were so thick that they hid the sun. During this time, also, I became accustomed to seeing large bands of peaceful Indians string along In two's and three's for hours at a stretch. I also watched the freighters freight supplies from Franklin, Idaho to Montana, and the mail and passengers dash through in stage coaches drawn by four horses. I saw the railroad built from Franklin to Battle Creek [Montana]. When I was about eight years old, I went to a school taught by Varnie Foster. Here we studied our multiplication tables by singing them. We were all taught as one group, no matter how old we were; and we used slates and had a few books. The first Sunday School I attended was taught by my father, Joseph Sharp, in our own home - a long house with a dirt roof, just like all the rest of the houses in Preston. Later a ward was organized. Sunday School was then held in a tog church with Joseph Sharp as superintendent. I saw this one ward grow and finally divided into six wards. At the age of twelve years, I went to Montana and herded cattle all summer. That fall I returned to Idaho. Later I went to Cub River and washed dishes for Father and Uncle George Sharp.
a

When I was 21,1 followed the Immigrant Trail to Fort Fetterman, Nebraska, over which father had come in 1854 driving Brigham Young's team to rescue the Handcart Saints at Devil's Gate at South Pass. During this trip, I saw the many pitiful graves that had been left at Independence Rock, Sweetwater and Fort Bridger on the platt. One rock, immense as I remember it, seemed several blocks long and was covered with the names of companies and people who had died there. Wim my retum trip counted, I may say that I have been across the plains twice with horse and wagon. At the age of 22,1 married Melissa Ellsworth. Together we reared a nice family of five boys and four girls and tost one girt when she was but a baby. We have lived to see them married and have children of their own. I am proud to say I have 30 grandchildren and one great grandchild. In the 1920's, our first home burned to the ground. Very little furniture was saved. We built a frame house with a cement basement. But after our children were all married, I soontostmy health; so I traded my farm with my youngest son, Arland Sharp, for a small house. Very comfortable and contented we are now living in this home with our children dropping in occasionally to visit us. I am now 71 and happily watching the changes of this great world. On May 22, my wife passed away - so I am living alone in our home and my children visit me. ["Levi / Ida Jane Jenkins Family History", Genevieve Joy Jenkins Despain, LDS FHL 929.273 J417d] Note: The original of this from the Family History noted above, had several errors in sentence structure, I have attempted to correct to reflect that I have discovered about James Irvin Sharp, but in whole this remains the same in essence.

Marriage Date/Place 21 Oct 1832 Bef 1873 Inch Parish, Carin Ryan, Wigtown, Ireland See Below

Notes

The proper spelling of the surname may be "Walsh" based on the review of the actual shiplist that Is believed to represent the family's arrival in America (noted below). The surname has been recorded in at least three variants. In subsequent documents, the most common spellings has been Welsh or Welch; with an occasional Walsh Fact or myth : There is some dispute as to where Richard and Mary were married, since both have been noted to have been born in Ireland, the Irish information noted is believed to be correct. But it has been noted that they may have been married atCreetown, Kirkcudbright, Scotland. Immigration : The various census records available suggest that his son, Thomas, immigrated during three different years 1869; 1876; and 1875. But the Mormon Immigration Index showed that Thomas departed Liverpool, England 22 Oct 1873 with Richard and "Catherine". Believing that Thomas immigrated to the United States with his father, Richard, due to a conversion to the LDS faith, the entry below appears to match with the information known about the Welsh Family.

Richard Welsh [1815-1877]

20 Oct 2005 Page 2

Notes (Continued)
The actual document shows the surname of "WALSH" and that the "Catherine" listed was a "Farm Wife" listed between Richard and Thomas. No other immigration records can be found to reveal when and/or if other members of this family came to the United States. If this is the record for Richard and Thomas, it suggests that Catherine is the wife of Richard; and that Mary Bittte Welsh/Walsh died before commonly believed. A initial search of Death Records for Great Britain did not reveal a obvious entry for Mary Welsh/Walsh death before 1873 nor - was a marriage record discovered for a second wife for Richard. Immigration Record: WALSH, Richard <1815> Idaho 1873 Age: 58 "Farm La borer" D Orig in: Glasgow WALSH, Catherine <1840> Idaho 1873 Age: 33 "Farm wife" Origin: Glasgow WALSH, Thomas <1855> Idaho 1873 Age: 18 "Laborer" Origin: Glasgow Ship: Idaho Date of Departure; 22 Oct 1873 Port of Departure: Liverpool, England LDS Immigrants: 522 Church Leader: John L Hart Date of Arrival: 05 Nov 1873 Port of Arrival: New York, New York Source(s):BMR, Book #1041, pp. 300-320 (FHL #025,692); Customs #1199 (FHL #175,740) LDS Mormon Immigration Index CD-ROM Notes : "THE LAST COMPANY OF THE SEASON. -- On Wednesday last, the 22nd instant, the steamship Idaho, Captain Moore, sailed for New York, with 522 souls of the Saints on board, all of whom are en route to Utah. The company placed in charge of Elder John I. Hart, who will be assisted by Elders John Neff and W. K. Barton. President A. Carrington also took his departure by the Idaho, and on meeting with Elder John W, Young at New York, will, according to arrangement, proceed direct for Utah " <MS 35: 43 (Oct. 28, 1873), p.680> "Wed. 22. [Oct. 18733 - The steamship Idaho sailed from Liverpool, England, with 522 Saints, in charge of John I. Hart. The company arrived at New York, Nov. 4th, and at Satt Lake City, Nov. 14th." Fact or Myth : Previous genealogy for this family, tended to view the Catherine listed in this Immigration Record as the eldest daughter of Richard and Mary. That she married a John McPhie. Dying 18 Aug 1877 at Coalville - at 38 years. With the new understanding of the Immigration Record, the second wife of Richard "Catherine" - widowed at his death in April 1877 - could have remarried - dying soon after. Results of an independent search of Coalville Cemetery: There were no record of his parents, Richard Welsh and Mary or Margaret Bittle Welsh...however there were Bittle's in the cemetery.

Little is known about Mary Bittte or any of her other children. Parents : John Bittle [1792-????] & Mary Paton [1796-????]

John Henry's second marriage to Elizabeth Poole was after the 1880 Federal Census Based on inscripton on the joint obelisk grave maker to mark all three graves. Ruth is inscribed on one side and John H and his second wife, Elizabeth Poole Williams [died 18 Mar 1910, Age 75 - E/35/4/2], are on one side of the marker.

John Henry Williams [1831-1894]

20 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) Results of an independent search of Coalville Cemetery: It appears that John Williams had a later wife by the name of Elizabeth P. Williams who died Mar 15,1910 aged 75 year. Underneath their joint headstone (John H, Ruth J and Elizabeth) rt reads... 'There is a bright region above, We long to reach its shore, To join with dear ones we love, Not lost, but gone before." Page 2

First South. 1893 listed him as a Plumber [Elliott Plumbing] living @ 353 West First South (The occupations listed in the Polk Directories are misleading, It would seem that he was a laborer in the overall construction industry of that era refer to census records.)

[Also recorded in the Utah Burial Index, see below and noted as such in "A History of the Croton Family" by Peter Croton, Liverpool, 1993] According to the Civil Registration Index: 1837-1900 [Mamages Volume: 6d / District: Aston / Page: 317], Robert remarried in Aug 1887, to Mary Ann Steadman.

The 1896 Polk Directory indicated a Robert Crowton was employed as a laborer and resided @ 2nd West and 10th South [exact address not readable]. ["Wm Crowton" - his son - clerk, shown living at the same address] The 1897 Polk Directory <pg 198> indicated a Robert Crowton was employed as a "junk" dealer and resided @ 1363 South 2nd West, Salt Lake City, UT. ["Wm Crowton" - his son - clerk, shown living at the same address]. Robert became Bishop of the 5th [Waterloo] Ward of Salt Lake and led it's choir for many years.

A very brief notice was published in the "Salt Lake Tribune" noting Robert Crowton's death. One was also found in a Tooele paper: "Robert Crowton, 82 years of age, a resident of Salt Lake since 1872, when he came to America from his birthplace, England, died November 23. The cause of death was general debility." ('Tooele Transcript", 28 November 1913, pg 2 The Utah Budget Section) The date of his arrival was off by 15 years. It is not clear why a Tooele paper would run this notice since it appears that Robert only lived in Salt Lake. It is possible that one of his children arranged for the notice. Utah Burial Index: Crowton, Robert - Birth Date:0 0/1832;Death Date: 26 Nov 1913; Death Place: SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH; Burial Date: 26 November 1913; Cemetery: Salt Lake City Cemetery; Grave Location: U-7-1M-SE4 Death Certificate: #1581 - Utah State Dept of Census [filed 24 Nov 1913] revealed the causes of death and indicated that his remains were removed and prepared by Jos Wm Taylor, Salt Lake City on 25 Nov 1913. [Mrs Robert Crowton, wife, listed as informant]. His Death Certificate erroreanously recorded that his occupation was "Optician" and a birthyear of 1832. The families of Robert Crowton did not enjoy a close relationship. The one published family history seemed to have several mistakes, which complicated efforts to confirm some basic information. This noted effort also indicated that there was an additional daughter born to his first wife - which the census and immigration records do not reflect. The second family of Robert W. Crowton was easier to trace than his first, with the exception of his youngest daughter and his second wife, all remained in Salt Lake County. Many of them left Utah, moving to Califomia as did Roberts eldest son. Note: 1. His brother Fredrick became a successful plumber & mechanical engineer in Satt Lake. 2, His daughter Alice married a first cousin, son of her aunt Harriet Cardwell. 3, His second wife was a friend of his daughter Annie. 4, Robert's youngest son by Mary - Burt, was part of the AEF during World War One and was a Salt Lake City Fireman at the of his death in 1934 [in the death notice published in the Salt Lake Tribune, his death was listed as "hemorrhaging from the spinal cord". It did not note whether death was due to illness or accident]. 5. His second wife would remarry to James McFarland sometime after 1916. This second husband died very suddenly on March 18,1921. She later moved to Winslow, Arizona after his death and died there 3 Jan 1940. 6. Tragically, with the exception of his daughter Rose, his children by Mary Ann Steadman died rather young compared to those with Maria AUport. Mary A. Steadman Crowton McFarland died at the age of 75 of "Lobar Pneumonia". Their daughter, Violet married W.T. Willey and died in Arizona in 1941 _at thejiae of 46 of a Brain Tumor with Cerebral r .r^'T*r Hemorrhage.

It was one of only three identifiable groups to come to the US through the Port of San Pedro - which was to had been intended to be the west coast terminus for LDS converts from the Pacific and Australian Missions and one of the primary motivations for the establishing a colony in Southern California.

Notes (Continued) On Wednesday, April 7,1853 they started for America with a small company of saints in charge of Elder Wandell. This was the first company of saints to leave Australia to come to America. They left Sydney in the ship "Envelope" with their four children; namely: Elizabeth, James, George, and Rebecca. While on the Pacific Ocean on May 12th, 1853, another son was born and named Wandell Pacific after Elder Wandell and the Ocean they were on. The ship's first US ports of call were San Francisco, Santa Barbera, then to San Pedro for offloading. The Gale family moved on to the San Bemadino Mormon colony and first met the Kartchner family. The Gale family continued on to Utah in 1857 with the Church leadership call for all Mormons to return closer to the center of the church at Salt Lake City due to the "Utah War". William's first wife Margaret acted as midwife to Elizabeth during her pregnancies and in the family, the children of Margaret would refer to Elizabeth as "Aunt Lizzie" It could be that the same "Aunt" reference was used by Elizabeth's children in addressing or referring to Margaret.

Newspaper Article: WOMAN, 83, IS DROWNED IN OLD WELL AT MESA MESA, March 10 - Mrs. Elizabeth Kartchner, 83, of Snowflake, Arizona, was drowned here last night when the bank of an old well, caved under her weight and she fell into the water, approximately 30 feet deep. The accident occurred shortly after dark at the home of R. J. Perkins, just south of the Arizona Temple, where Mrs. Kartchner had spent a greater part of the winter with her daughter. It was an hour later that the mishap was discovered.

Notes (Continued) According to members of the family, Mrs. Kartchner had gone out of the house to secure some kindling for a fire. Irrigation water seepage had loosened the dirt around the top of the old well, it is believed, and the earthen bank gave way under Mrs. Kartchner's weight, dropping her to the bottom. Alarmed at the continued absence of the woman, members of the family instituted a search and eventually discovered the caved-in well. The body was recovered with grappling hooks. Mrs. Kartchner and a sister, Mrs Rebekah C. Thompson, also far advanced in years, have been here a major part of the winter, doing religious work in the Arizona Temple. They have made their home with the former's daughter, Mrs. Perkins. The body was sent tonight to Snowflake, where burial will be made. Mrs. Kartchner resided for years in Navajo county and has many relatives in that locality. ["Arizona Republican", Sunday March 11,1928. Page 1, Column 7, Section 1.]

The Life Sketch of Elizabeth Gale Kartchner by her own hand 1920 Henry Gale was the son of George and Rebecca Gale born Oct 18,1818 (sic) in the town of Box Willshire England. In 1837, when gold was discovered in Australia, my father Henry Gale was then a boy in England & thought he would leave home and go to the gold mines and make a fortune. Not liking mining, altho he got a nuget of gold, he went to herding sheep. About the time, a young lady Sarah Willis and her brother from Ireland went there also. They thought they would make money and send for their mother [and the rest of the family] who was then a widow, But their mother died before they could send for Her. My mother worked out for a living when she met this young man, my father, they became acquainted and was married April 8, 1844. Jan 20,1845 - a baby girl came to their home now the writer of this sketch. May 8,1852, two morman elders came as missionarys. My parents were converted and joined the church in 1852, In the fall of 1853 emigrated with the elders for Zion in a sail ship we was 3 months on the ocean, a baby brother was born on the ship we arrived in San Bemadino Cal June 1853. We lived there 4 years. In the winter of '57, left for Utah, a baby sister was born at Las Vegas in the wagon. One night our team was missing the company all hunted for them and could not fmd them they was going to go on the next morning My mother had a dream and saw them. She told father he went and found them right at the spot where she saw them. In Feb 1858, we landed in Beaver Utah there was only 2 or 3 log houses we lived in a cellar the first winter with no roof except a wagon cover or Quilts. We would have to shake off the snow before we could get up. My Father was a farmer, me being the oldest would help him. In the field in the Summer we cut all our grain with a cicle I would cut and bind my bundles. In the winter, my br and I would braid straw for hats. Mother would sew them. The next summer father hired a man to cradle his grain. I would follow the cradle and rake it in bundles for father to bind. I also helped to haul and stack. Nov 8th 1859, my father was ordained an Elder and July 16,1871 - Was ordained a High Priest. Dec 30,1876 was called as a member of the High Council of Beaver Stake. He has done work in the temple at St George and Manti. He was a hard working man and a true Latterday Saint he endured all the hardships of a new country he died Dec 26,1891.

Notes (Continued)
Fact or Myth : Most family accounts are based on William's Journal written during the last ten years of his life. Haverford or Haverfordtown in Montgomery Co,. PA is listed as his place of birth. But studies of maps of the Montgomery and Delaware Counties clearly indicate that the only Haverford in Pennslyvannia is in Delaware County, situated very near the common border that each county shares - which may suggest the confusion.

CASTEEL, MARGARET JANE 21 March HANCOCK CO. LIC # 8 1 5 [Source : Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763-1900/Illinois State Archives & the Illinois State Genealogical Society] July - Land Patent Record - Document # 10049/Illinois Patent 1L1460-432 for 40 acres in Kaskaskia 10 July 1844. September - William and Margaret took part in the poorly conceived and lead James Emmett Company [supposely ordered by Joseph Smith prior to his death] to begin west. A book entitled "Pioneers and prominent men of Utah;..." [Frank Esshom, LDS FHL 979.2 D3e 1913] erroneously noted that he came to Utah with the "Emmett Company" accompanied by the Mormon Battalion. Salt Lake City, Utah Territory: William was with the second group of LDS to enter the Salt Lake Valley, days after the main body lead by Brigham Young. This group is commonly refer to as the "Mississippi Saints" due to the fact company of saints originally consisted of fourteen families from Monroe County, Mississippi,tedby William Crosby and John Brown. William and his first wife, Margaret, join the group at Independence, Missouri in the latter part of May 1846. On July 29,1847, President Brigham Young and other church officials meet this group as they entered Emigration Canyon. This group is occasionally refered to as the "Pueblo Colonists" due to the fact that their previous winter quarters were at Pueblo, Colorado. A photocopy of a letter was found in the archives of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers revealed that William's first daughter, Sarah Emma (Miller), answered a call for information about early pioneers that appeared in an early 1897 edition of the "Deseret News". This letter identified both William and Margaret along with the name of the captain of that company, James Brown. It also stated that she was born during Winter Quarters of that company in Pueblo. As noted, the Kartchner family traveled to the Salt Lake Valley as part of the Mississippi Company - arriving on 27 July 1847. The Mississippi company of Saints arrival into the valley has been overlooked in the many histories of the Mormon Pioneer Companies. Many listings of the early pioneers fail to indude the members of this company. Even today, BYU is reluctant to post this group on their Internet site celebrating the Pioneer Companies of 1847-1868. A contact person for this site suggested that they are not sure how to list these pioneers since they entered the Salt Lake Valley in two groups. An advance body appeared to have joined up with the Brigham Young parties entering on the first day. The later group of the Mississippi Saints accompanied the Sick Detachments of the Mormon Battalion on 27 July 1847. These pioneers have been labeled the "Forgotten Pioneers" by at least one prominent Utah/LDS historian. Historian Thomas Bullock (Brigham Young's Camp Clerk) described the arrival of the Mississippi Saints: "Brigham Young and the Twelve mounted horses and went to Emigration Canyon to greet the Pueblo company of Mormon Battalion soldiers and Mississippi Saints. They met them at the mouth of the canyon. Wilford Woodruff wrote: 'We were truly glad to meet with them.' They continued on up the canyon and met with the officers, James Brown, Nelson Higgins, and Wesley Willis. They determined that

there were about 140 members of the battalion and families, and about 100 Mississippi Saints. They had with them 60 wagons, 100 horses and mules, and 300 head of cattle." [They lumped in the wives and children of the battalion members in with the totals of the Mississippi Saints. There were probably 190 in the battalion including wives and children, and 50 Mississippi Saints.] On 1 September 2005, while on a "walkabout" on the east side of the city, the "First Encampment Memorial Park" was discovered at the corner of 500 East and 1700 South - a small lot with rocks of assorted sizes inscribed with the names of the first settlers. While none of these rocks included the name of William Kartchner, several markers on the 1700 South side of the park recognized that the "Mississippi Mormons" arrived in two groups, exactly as described by Thomas Bullock. William, Margaret and their first daughter were commemorated as one of the first 2090 Pioneers to enter Utah [from summer 1847 thru summer 1848] on page 241 in "E.L. Sloan & Co Utah Gazetteer and City Directory for 1884 (Pioneer Section)". William's and Margaret's first child was born while at winter quarters in Pueblo, it is recorded that she was the first white child to be born in the Colorado Territory. This event would later be acknowledged by the State of Colorado by a presentation of a gold medal to the child Sarah. (William conducted the first marriage ceremony for (Sarah) Emma to Owen Twitchel on 1 JAN 1864 in Beaver, Utah.) Census: 1840 Washington Co., IL, included in household count with brother Peter W., census accounts for 3 adult males [brother John C being the third adult Male] and and 1 female - which tends to agree with information from hisautobiography. William would have been 20 years old. [M704-72/Page:229A/Line: 4] 1850 Utah Co., UT Territory, 31 yrs <s/b 30>,"blacksmith"

However, many states and territories had "Great Registers" listing the registered voters. William D. (age 70) and his sons - registered to vote 23 July 1890, in Snowflake, Apache County of Arizona. Arizona Territorial 1890 Great Register Master List - originally published 1890 by the "Weekly Herald", St. Johns, AZ [LDS FHL 979.1 N4s]. When WDK and Elizabeth travelled to SLC to be married In 1862, it would have taken them ten days or more [due to the extreme cold that was recorded] to go the 200 mites. Most likely by oxen pulled wagon. William and his two families participated in several events and missions documented in the history of the LDS Church; in addition to the items noted above, William was instrumental in the layout of the City of Holladay / Cottonwood Area - just south of Salt Lake City. After his marriage to Elizabeth Gale, he participated in the "Muddy" Mission in Southern Nevada. As well as the Little Colorado Eastern Arizona Mission in the 1880's. San Bernardino Mission: Wiliiam was one of two blacksmiths - included within a group of 20-25 families specifically selected by A. Lyman and C.C. Rich to take part in the San Bernardino Mission. When he initially declined to be a part of the California Mission, supposely Lyman implied "that if he refused to go he would be assigned a worst mission." His time there was not a part of his life that he choose not to write about. Edward L. Lyman's 1996 book on San Bernardino suggests that one reason WDK was chosen

for the Mission was in consideration of the pain he endured in his rheumatic limbs during the cold seasons ["San Bernardino ; the rise and fall of a California community", Edward L. Lyman, LDS FHL 979.495/S1 H2L], Listed on the landmarker noting the Settlement of San Bemadino, Ca One reference for the San Bernardino Settlement suggests that the decision to include many of those from the Mississippi Saint Company was tied to the escalating slavery vs free state issue that dominated national politics during the 1850's. Although Brigham Young apparently had slight pro slavery tendencies, he did not want the presence of slaves in the Utah territory to complicate his dealings with the growing anti- Mormon attitudes of the Federal Government. The few family histories discovered for the San Bernardino Colonists - i.e. Southern Grace, the family history for the Crosby and Lay families (who also were members of the Mississippi Saint Company - but doesn't mention Wm Kartchner) ["Southern grace : a story of the Mississippi saints", Charmaine Lay Kohler, LDS FHL 929.273 L451k] as with the remembrances of William D., include only brief discussion of the years in San Bernardino - revealing little more than already discovered. As noted above, he petitioned the Federal Governement to be the Postmaster for Panguitch, UT and Snowflake, AZ. After being called back to Utah, the family settled for a short time in the city of Beaver, not to far from the family of this second wife. Muddy Mission: Willaim arrived 18 Nov 1865 with many of his children born to him by Margaret and with Elizabeth and her small son, Aaron. Margaret stayed behind to complete the closing/sale(?) of their house in Beaver. Nearly every six months, the families would move to a different site until they finally setted in Overton. It was recently discovered that he held the position of Postmaster while at the Muddy settlement [the first of three interactions with the Post Office - the other previously recognized routes noted in his genealogy sheet]. His route in Muddy, ran from Calls Landing to St. Thomas. A description of the Muddy Settlement was found in an issue of the Utah Historical Quarterly [Volume 35/Spring 1967 "Settlements on the Muddy", p. 157]: "At length, after journeying a full month...[we] looked out on the burnt desolation of a new homesite, a little group of adobe huts with willow and mud roofs mussed together into a fort, pitiful attempts at wheat and corn fields. Not a tree to impede the direct rays of the Sun."
-

The article also noted that the Muddy River was more of a large creek. And that the area was chosen in the belief that it would foster a good cotton crop and that the area was good as a way station for immigrates entering the Utah Territory. The area of the Muddy Settlement is now at the bottom of Lake Mead in what is now Nevada. Margaret acted as midwife to Elizabeth during her pregnancies while here. The families left on 8 Feb 1871 after being released from this mission [the reason for abandoning this mission was supposely due to the high taxes the new state of Nevada wanted to impose]. Later Orin would tell that the oldest son, John, set the Muddy house afire as they left to prevent the indians from using it. Although, both the younger boys, Orin and Aaron, had liked and played with the Indian children. I"100 years on the Muddy", compiled by Arabell Lee Hafner, LDS FHL 979.313 H2] The St. Joseph Cemetery is located on a sand bench at St. Joseph and Whittwer in Logandale (Muddy Settlement). Records tell us that in the short span of the later 1860's, many pioneers perished in the harsh, inhospitable land - including one child born to both Margaret and Elizabeth: KARTCHNER, Euphemia A 14 Mar 1867 -15 Apr 1868 [has the only formal headstone] KARTCHNER, Henry 24 Aug 1868 [Son of W. D. & Elizabeth 2y 3m 2d died at St. Joseph]

Leaving Nevada, the family briefly returned to Beaver before being called to "beef up" the settlers of the Panquitch area of Iron County. Little Colorado Settlements: Several books have been discovered discussing William D Kartchner role in the Little Colorado Settlements: Pioneers of the Southwest and Rocky Mountain Region, Vol 5 - pgs. 437-438 [LDS FHL 973.w2fi.v5] noted: "Wm D. Kartchner and sons assisted in the purchase of the valley in which Snowflake would be founded, taking one fourth interest in the purchase." Arizona Palmer Family, p 102 [compiled and edited by Arvin Palmer, LDS FHL 929.273 P182par] noted : "Wm D. Kartchner and sons and families gave a white cow for the surveying of the townsite of Snowflake" - with the high value of livestock to the pioneers, suggesting that the Kartchner Family solely paid for this action. The histories of the Little Colorado Settlement efforts ultimately evaluated the Kartchner, Palmer and Flake families as leaders ("heroes") in the development and success of Snowflake. One book discussing this Mormon effort suggested that these families were criticized at the time they abandoned the "troubled" Taylor site for the area that would become Snowflake. "In Snowflake, there were two small log houses to house the large family of children [14 by Margaret and 9 by Elizabeth] and their parents. To make life more bearable, the larger of the two houses became the living and bedroom quarters while the small became the kitchen area." This is from a sketch written about his daughter Minnie Kartchner Stratton, by Ilene Shumway and Irene Flake on the occasion of her 95th birthday [1965]. Apparently based on an interview with Minnie, during which she finally revealed her responsibility for the fire which destroyed that kitchen, as noted in Williams autobiography. 1887 : It has been noted that William suffered from a loss of eyesight at least five years prior to his death. An article was found in a Beaver newspaper which confirms this information. It noted that Elder Kartchner preached at the Meeting House during a visit in November of 1887. The article reported: "...He is sorely afflicted as his eye sight has been lost, but he states he is slowly regaining it..." The article noted - in error - that he was "absent" from Beaver for ten years", when it would have been more like 20. ("Southern Utopian", 11 November 1887, pg 8 - Chit Chat Section) 1891 : November - Arizona Territorial Doc: #457 - William acquired a patent to 160 acres of federal land <under the Homesteading Act of 1862> In section 24 of Snowflake Township on 2 Nov 1891. [Contemporary BLM Serial Number #AZAZAA 023439]. He would later portion some to his sons Aaron and Orinn. Children with Margaret Jane Castell: Sarah E.[Twitchel/Miller] 1846-1934, William A. 1848-1852, Prudence J. [Flake] 1850-1896, John C. 1851-1946, Mark E. 1853-1939, James P. 1855-1858, Alzada S. [Palmer] 1858-1936, Mary M. [Clayton] 1860-1919, Nowlin D. 1862-1927, Orrin 1864-1961, & Euphmia A. 1867-1868. [Kenner Casteel Kartchner, son to Orrin (last son of Margaret Casteel), gained regional and national praise for his fiddle playing. Despite the importance of music to the family - William D. and several of his children played instruments - an Internet Message Center (apparently associated with the LDS church) suggested that Kenner C. may have been viewed as a "blacksheep" of the family. A book has been written about him - Frontier Fiddler: The Life of a Northern Arizona Pioneer Larry V. Shumway, (Editor), published in 1990.]

In his jounnal, he described the construction of his coffin, specifying that a 8" x 10" piece of glass was to be installed on the left side of the head of the coffin. He also detailed how he was to be interned next to his first wife, Margaret: "Dig of the loose dirt of her present grave and make it 4 ft via 7 ft and line it with stone 2 feet high with flat stone covering the volt <sic> and dirt raised to form 2 graves fastened up the ends so as to form a trench and plant 8 pretty Night Roots in the trench and send a keg of water one in April and one in May to keep them growing". (This joint grave was initially protected by a fence.) But as the years passed and as cemetery care evolved, this appearance and segregation of their graves has changed. In addition, during the 1980's, the descendents from both of his family funded a more elaborate head stone for William and Margaret [perhaps to match the "granduer" of Elizabeth Gale's stone].

Obiturary:

Death of Another Veteran William Decatur Kartchner 1820-1892 [Allen Foot writes to us from Snowflake under date of May 30th, as follows:] Another of the veterans of our Church passed away at this place on the 14th ult, namely, William Decatur Kartchner. Deceased was the son of John C. Kartchner, and Prudence Wilcox, was born at Hartford, Montgomery Co., Penn., May 4th, 1820, and baptized May 8th, 1843, having heard the Gospel the previous day for the first time. He was married to Margaret Jane Casteel in March, 1844, passed through all the mobbings and persecutions at Nauvoo, standing guard greater part of the time during a six weeks' rain, and was stricken down with rheumatism. He could not , move hand nor foot at the time of the martyrdom. He was called to go with the famous "Emimetts Company," and through the operations of those in charge, was reduced, with many others, to distressing circumstances. It was only by a desperate effort that he and his wife were enabled to get away from the company, and work their way back to St. Louis. Here Brother Kartchner was well treated by his brother John, although not in sympathy in religious matters. In the spring of 1846 Brother William and wife joined a company of Saints who were preparing to go to the Rocky Mountains, preferring the hardships and dangers of such a trip to remaining among a people who had abused him and his fellow Saints. This company was in charge of Captain William Crosby, and arrived in Salt Lake Valley July 28th, 1847-one year and three months from the time of leaving the State. Brother Kartchner, who was a blacksmith by trade, faithfully assisted as a pioneer in the settlement of new places in Utah and Arizona. He had been quite feeble in body and mind for the last ten years, having almost entirely lost his sight. He always bore a strong and faithful testimony to the truth of the great latter-day work, and was a true and consistent Latterday Saint. His first wife died ten years ago. He leaves seventeen children and forty-three grandchildren to mourn his loss. The deceased was highly respected by all who knew him. [Obituary was published in the "Deseret News" June 4,1892] [For a condense presentation of material found to track the movements and activities of William - and his four surviving siblings - refer to the "Papar Trail" addition]

reat Wall Once Circled Salt Lake City

Will Bagley [Salt Lake Tribune 25 November 2001/Final Page Bl] "The wall around Salt Lake was built in 1853," recalled Nauvoo Legion Lt. Gen. Daniel H. Wells in the 1880s. "It was usualforour people to protect themselves by building what we called a fort" a place the people could get into in the event of a raid." Mormon settlers began building Salt Lake City's first fort at today's Pioneer Park almost Immediately after arriving in the valley. In a pattem followed in founding dozens of other towns, the 10-acre fort consisted of adobe-and-log cabins linked together to form a stockade. When more immigrants arrived in the fall, they added extensions at either end of the "Old Fort" to create a quadrangular form, common in western posts, that was 3,135 feet long by 660 feet wide. The fort had two serious problems: roofs and mice. Believing it seldom rained in Salt Lake, the pioneers built flat roofs, using poles that were infested with bedbugs. Then, as 0. B. Huntington recalled, they piled "an immense quantity of dirt" on the poles "as probable protection from the rain." When it rained, the roofs leaked torrents of mud into the cabins. Historian H. H. Bancroft insisted that swarms of mice dug so many tunnels under the cabins that they "caused the ground to tremble." People abandoned the Old Fort at the first opportunity, and by 1850 it was crumbling away. The city fathers ordered the ruin torn down for "it had become a trysting place for persons of loose morals." Conflicts with Utah's original inhabitants increased as settlers pushed Indians away from their food sources and off the best land. The Utes soon realized "the whites want everything," and by 1853 open warfare led Brigham Young to implement a new strategy called "forting up." This unpopular policy concentrated farms and small settlements into larger forts. "Active preparations are now in operation to wall in the cities and all the considerable settlements throughout the Territory/ Mormon leaders announced. "We shall commence making a substantial ditch 8iamp; wall around the whole city," Brigham Young informed Orson Pratt on Aug. 31,1853, and the wall would be 12 feet high with gates and bastions.

The wall was to run for some 16 miles "from the Jordan River up today's 900 South to 900 East, north to Fourth Avenue, due west to State Street, northwest along Wall Street to 700 North and then back to the river. Mormon historians have assumed this was a make-work welfare project, but Young thought the fortification would be "one of the best means we can now make for our temporal salvation/' Salt Lakers completed about six miles of the wall. "Great Salt Lake City is one of the prettiest cities I know of anywhere," Richard Ackley wrote in 1858. "There is a large adobe wall 10 feet high which nearly surrounds it. Stone pioneer forts survive at Cove Fort and Pipe Springs, but Fort Deseret near Delta is the sole remaining adobe fort. Tfte Great Wall of Salt Lake is completely gone, but part of the wall surrounding the Brigham Young Estate, which extended far up into the avenues, still protects a parking lot east of the LDS Church office building.

San Bernardino, California

A company of nearly 500 Mormons arrived in the valley in 1851, making camp at the mouth of a creek which flowed briskly through the valley to the Santa Ana River. Overjoyed with the abundance of water, the dense growth of willows, cottonwoods and sycamores and the mustard and wild oats that grew on the hillsides, the followers named the stream "Lytle Creek" after their leader. Captain Andrew Lytle.

Dedicated to expanding Brigham Young's religious empire, the religious pioneers purchased the 40,000-acre San Bernardino Rancho in 1852, for $77,000, with a down payment of $7,000. Having heard tales about the Indian attacks, the Mormons quickly built a stockade around the rancho and named it Fort San Bernardino. The families lived inside the stockade for the first few years, growing wheat and other crops outside and building a grain mill inside. But since the Mormons weren't raising cattle or horses, the desert Indians were no longer a threat and soon families were able to move out and build their own homes. In the fall of 1852, Colonel Henry Washington, a United States deputy surveyor, erected a monument on top of Mount San Bernardino and through it ran the base line from which surveys in the southem part of the state were, and are still made. The community thrived and in 1854 the City of San Bernardino was officially incorporated. Population at the time was 1,200 900 of them Mormons. San Bernardino was strictly a temperance town, with no drinking or gambling allowed. In 1857 Brigham Young recalled his Mormons to Salt Lake City. Some went, taking great financial losses, while others opted to remain and struggled to continue on their own. In the six short years that the Mormons followed their mission at San Bernardino Rancho, they made numerous achievements, establishing schools, stores, a network of roads and a strong government.

Fact or Myth : "He came to Utah at the age of 15 years. He drove one of Brigham Young's mule trains across the plains in 1848." (The Sharp Family - Researched by Ida Sharp Jenkins, "Levi / Ida Jane Jenkins Family History", Genevieve Joy Jenkins Despain, LDS FHL 929.273 J417d). Joseph would have been 8 years old at this time and census information clearly show that Joseph S. was with his family in Illinois at the time of the 1850 Census. Not coming to Utah until late 1860 or early 1861. Fact or Myth : "When Brigham Young asked for volunteers to go back to Devils Gate to take provisions to the hand cart companies, Joseph Smith Sharp said he would go if he could drive one of Brigham Young's teams. Brigham Young gave him a team of mules and wagon. He went with the men and met the hand cart companies." (The Sharp Family - Researched by Ida Sharp Jenkins, "Levi / Ida Jane Jenkins Family History", Genevieve Joy Jenkins Despain, LDS FHL 929.273 J417d). Census information clearly showed Joseph S. with his family in Iowa at the time of the "Lost Handcart Companies. Not coming to Utah until late 1860 or early 1861. He reportedly travelled to Utah in his own "company", but there is no definitive record of this company. Archives of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers History Library, Salt Lake City, some additional information about Joseph Smith Sharp and his wife, Rebecca Jane Higley was discovered. It revealed that he was a man of large stature who suffered from debilitating "Dropsey", died of a heart attack. Fact or Myth ; The material also discussed the alleged polygamist marriage to Emery Fellows In 1885. Rebecca initially approved, but changed her mind within two years - after which Joseph and Rebecca moved to St Anthony and Emely (and her child from Joseph) remained in the Preston area [various Intemet genealogy postings suggest that their daughter was bom in 1881 - four years prior to the supposed marriage and 1887, about the time Rebecca withdrew her approval. She was listed as born in Odgen - but there Is no information suggesting that he was in Utah at this time]. With the loss of the 1890 Census, so much of this can not be confirmed. The 1880 Census listed her as a widow living with two children in Richmond, Cache County, Utah. The 1900 Census listed her in Preston, Idaho with three children - including the supposed daughter of Joseph, Emily. She was noted to have been born in Utah and that her father's birth state was New York, not Illinois (the birth state for Joseph). This marriage seems very unlikely, with the Federal Prosecution of Unlawful Cohabitation was in full force during the mid to late 1880's. 1867 : August 15 - Animal Brand Register - Series: 540 / Reel Number: 1 / Volume Date: Dec 1849-Dec 1874 / Page Number: 61 & 97 / Entry - Name: SHARP, JOSEPH / County: Tooele 1879 : Joseph was noted several times for his contributions to both the LDS Sunday School [1878-1880] and the first attempts to offer public schooling to the children in the Preston's Worm Creek area - offering his home for a temporary site for both schools, later teaching the 15 or so students enrolled for public schooling during the later portion of that years harsh winter - when the regular teacher left the area.

As discussed above In a "Fact or Myth" item, it has been suggested that he entered into a polygamist marriage with a Emily White Zest Fellows and had a daughter with her. A recent discovery of the Obiturary for hfe son James I, Sharp noted that he was survived by a "Mrs Emma Hagland (Hatland) of Smithfield" - this mention tends to support this item as a FACT. Note : "Joseph Smith Sharp, James Irvin Sharp went with Andy Morasision over the Immigration Trail. The three men can testify and tell of the experiences, hardships, starvation of those who were left at Devil's Gate. Also of the campground and different places where they buried their families, friends and relations."

The Edwards family immigrated to Utah as part of the Willard Richards Company in October 1848. No record can be found as to when Elizabeth's adoptive parents, the Bennetts, migrated [although it has been suggested that they came to Utah with the James C Snow Company]. But it must have been sometime after the completion of the 1850 Census [mid 1851] and the autumn of 1852 - based on the following entries in Esaias' journal ["Esaias Ed wards-Autobiography and diary", BYU MSS 184]: 1852 : [Page 35 - Autumn, Esaias' Diary] he wrote of a visit with Elizabeth: "I went to Utaw County to see my little Daughter Elizabeth which was liveing with Brother and sister Thomas Bennet And when arrived there I learned that they had removed from there to Cedar valley which lay between Utaw and Tooele and I concluded that I would return home that way it was about fifty miles and a part of the way it was not explored I accordingly setout after traveling about twenty miles I arrived at Brother Bennets and found them all well and tarried there all night had the pleasure of seeing and converseing with my daughter.

[Born on Sunday, died on a Friday]

Siblings : Elizabeth (1839-1857), Evaline (1842-1892), Esther (1844-1918), Nancy M. (1846-1936), Israel (1848-1849) & German Jr. (1849-1922) Half-Siblings : Philo (1851), Emily (1853), Melissa (1855), Hannah M. (1856), Reuben W. (1858), Cetestia A. (1861), & Speedy A. (1865). Ephraim's father died shortly after arrival. His mother remarried, to Philo Johnson. Note : In researching Ephraim "Edger" Ellsworth, it should be noted that he appears to have had a "cousin" with a similar name, nearly the same age - born to David Ellsworth in Iowa. Both families seemed to have migrated to the Utah Territory about the same time. Each of these "Ephraim" Ellsworth would marry an "Elizabeth" and name a daughter, "Elizabeth". The David Ellsworth branch would settle in the southern areas of Utah, while the German Ellsworth families would tend to remain in northem Utah and possible southern eastern Idaho.

Ellsworth discussing the families of German, David and Edmund, LDS FHL 929.273 EL59j], Ephraim's father had wanted to join the first 1847 group to immigrate to Utah, but at the request of Brigham Young, his father remained in Kanesville - so he could act as "clerk and checker" for those gathering at Council Bluff. Census : 1840 Dryden, Lapeer Co., MI, German "Elsworth" with 4 Children. Ephraim w/b newborn. [M704-207/Page: 19/Entry: 2] 1850 Salt Lake Co., UT Ter, counted as member of the Philo Johnson family.

Based on information in a book - "Our Ellsworth Ancestors" [compiled by German Ellsworth discussing the families of German, David and Edmund, LDS FHL 929.273 EL59J], 1860 : Ephraim, was listed as a occupants of the Franklin Fort in southeastern ID. In 1869, her father also credited for building one of the first two houses in what was to become Whitley, ID - making him and William Hardy the first settlers of the area* [,rThe trail blazer: History of the development of southeastern Idaho - History of Franklin County", Idaho, Marie Danielsen, Daughters of the pioneers, 1930 : LDS FHL 979.642 H2t] After the death of his first wife, Ephraim married Mary Frew Wheeler. She had two sons, Avery and Charles. [It appears that one or both of Mary's sons were taken In by her brother] Second wife was interned next to him in 1935, apparently in unmarked graves Children with Elizabeth Edwards : See her sheet

Children with Mary Frew Wheller: German E. 1880, James R. 1881, Joseph R. 1883,8i Fayette 1885. (It appears as if all her children died young.)

Based on the various documents and the brief family history available, her birth year ranges from 1814 to 1821. The earliest date (also noted in the records of the Salt Lake City Cemetery) would validate the birth years claimed by her first two sons. Suggesting that she married Joseph Crowton in 1830 at the age of 16 (four years earlier then previously speculated) and gave birth to their first son, Robert in 1831; second son, Frederick in 1834.

She, at the age of 54, arrived in New York on 17 September 1872 - supposely she travelled with her brother, Robert, but his name was not on the shiplist. [Ancestry.com - Film 365 - List # 1013, Line 7 / LDS FHL CD-ROM "Mormon Immigration Index Resource", BMR, Book #1041, pp. 232-252 (FHL #025,692); Customs #1013 (FHL #175,721); SMR, 1872 (FHL #025,696)]. After arriving [26 September 1872] in Salt Lake City, she married George Albert Clissold before 1880 census [she was his second wife]. Alice died on 23 July 1885 and a death notice appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune of the next day noting that she was the mother of Mr. F. Crowton <her second son by Joseph, younger brother to Robert> and that her first husband had died In England 14 years before. The death notice also noted a cause of death - "cancer of the breast" ["Salt Lake Tribune", Friday 24 July 1885, #81 - Vol XXIX, last page, col 7 - Salt Lake City Library - 2nd Floor, Microfilmed Newpaper Section].

Notes [Bom on a Sunday, died on a Friday] Death at the age of 55 in 1872, makes his birth year 1817. But the information gathered about Alice R. Bryant and their children would suggest that his birth year could had in fact been as early as 1814 (as noted in "A History Croton Family") and that he married Alice in 1830, rather than the previously believed, in 1834. The genealogy sheet for his son, Robert, discussed the confusion of his birth year - this discovery does not resolve it. So the birth year of Robert and that of his brother, Frederick, needs to be reconsidered if the later dates are used. Robert died in 1913 at the age of 78 and Frederick died in 1934 at the reported age of 101 (an article appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune at the time of his death, noting that he had been the oldest citizen of Salt Lake City).

COX, George, 59 COX, Lucy, 59 COX, Zillah, 17 Origin: Nottingham - Note: BMR, p. 327 Notes: 'THE FIRST COMPANY. ~ The Guion steamship Nevada, carrying the first company of this season's emigration, left Liverpool on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 12th. The company comprised four different nationalities, viz., English, Scotch, Welsh and Scandinavian. Of the latter there were but four persons, the great majority being from the British Isles. The total number of emigrants was 328, in addition to which there were eleven returning elders and three visitors. The names of the elders are as follows: John Donaldson, Charles W. Stayner, John Evans, Mark Beazer, W. S. Parkinson, W. D. Williams, Alexander Perry, Edwin Entwistle. Communications from Elders Donaldson, Stayner and Parkinson, sent ashore by the last tender, inform us that soon after starting an organization was effected as follows: Elder John Donaldson was sustained as president of the company; W. C. Parkinson, clerk; Robert Kewtey, captain of the guard, and John Evans, chaplain. The ship was divided into two wards, and a president, appointed from the local priesthood, placed in charge of each, John Gray as president of the first ward, and Elijah Ranacre of the second, with other elders as assistants. The hours appointed for prayer were 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. "The organization being completed, addresses were made by Elders Donaklson, Stayner and others, in which the Saints were counseled to exercise kindness and patience towards one another, to keep good order and observe the regulations of the ship, and be humble and prayerful before God. The company left in excellent health and spirits." <MS, 44:16 (Apr. 17, 1882), p.250> "LANDED. - The Steamship Nevada, which sailed from Liverpool on April 12th, with the first company of this year's emigration, reached New York on Monday morning the 24th. By this time, in ail probability, the Saints have arrived in Utah." <MS, 44:18 (May 1,1882), p.283> "Wed. 12, [Apr. 1882] - T h e steamship Nevada sailed from Liverpool, England, with 343 Saints, including 11 returning missionaries, under the direction of John Donaldson. The company arrived in New York, April 24th, and at Ogden and Salt Lake City, May 1st." Apparently, the family became members of the LDS church in England. After arrival in the US, took advantage of transportation arranged by the church. Once In New York, travelled by boat to Norfolk (Virginia), and then to Utah by train. Sadly, his youngest daughter, Zillah and her daughter died of Typhiod Fever in 1887 - along with a "Rebecca" it is not clear if this was another daughter of Zillah or maybe one for his son, Heber or that of his George's brother. These individuals and several of Heber's children are buried in that same Block/Lot as George and Lucy. [Source: Book A Spanish Fork Book of Deeds - City Cemetery] It appears as if George remarried after the death of Lucy. Caroline Cole Wales on 21 May 1890 in Manti, Sanpete, UT.

Notes
[Born on Thursday, died on a Saturday] Residences : Ireland; Canada; Sydney, Australia; San Bernardino, CA; Beaver, UT Fact or Myth : Her mother may have been of Germanic heritage. Her family migrated from Ireland/England to Canada to Australia to the United States. Fact or Myth : Shipping records show that four children of Martin Wilte and his wife Elizabeth arrived in Sydney on the ship "Alfred" on the 19th of January 1841. They were: Thomas Wills, farm servant and stockman, 23 years on 12 July 1840; Mary Wills, seamstress, twenty; James Wells, farm servant, 18 years Feby 1840; and Sarah Wills, farm servant, sixteen. All four were unmarried.

Sarah Ann Wills [1825-19061

22 Oct 2006 Notes (Continued) This was Investigated with no definitive support for this part of the Wills family history: The famtty history presented in the book. The ancestors and descendants of James Gale [LDS FHL 929.273 G131m] reports that siblings Sarah and Thomas Wills/Willis immigrated from Canada to Australia on the ship "Alfred" arrivlnQ In Sydney 19 January 1841. According to Shipllsts for this period, the ship "Alfred" mastered by Captain Eastmere did arrive In Australia on that day from London/Cape of Good Hope - but no individuals with the sumame ^A/Hls- - "Willis" - "Wells" "Wellls" were listed as passengers on that arrival. Checking back to 1839, the ship "Alfred" can be found In the shipllsts, but not on a comparable date and not carrying the Wills/Wills. No Individuals with any of the sumame variant can be found on any ship arriving In Sydney between 1839 -1841. ["Index of Passengers and Crews in and out of Sydney", Volume 1839, LDS FHL Brit 994.41/sl w38m v.5 / "Index of Passengers and Crews in and out of Sydney", Volume 1840, LDS FHL Brit 994.41/sl w38m v.6 / "Index of Passengers and Crews In and out of Sydney", Volume 1841, LDS FHL Brit 994.41/sl w38m v.7] A Thomas Willis" was found in several references for Sydney in which Henry Gale was found but not clear Indication If he was related to Sarah. The Sydney Directories (1844-1845 & 1850-1851) listed a Thomas Willis" as a Boot/Shoe Maker. There wera no individuals with the "Wills" sumame listed In either of these directories. [A clerical error on the marriage record and the appearance that Sarah could neither read nor write - seemed to cany the variance through the family history.] Unlike the Sydney Directories, the "Listing of Electors for Etectorial Districts of Sydney" [LDS FHL 953648 Microfilm] had what appeared to be three different Thomas Willis / Wilte" listed. Only one appeared to be In a consistent area of the city within the Gipps Ward. Under a 1855 law, an immigrant woman Instantly became a U.S. citizen at the moment a Judge's order naturalized her Immigrant husband. If her husband naturalized prior to September 27,1906, the woman may or may not be mentioned on the record which actually granted her citizenship. Census * I860 Beaver UT, 26 yrs <s/b 35> 1870 Beaver UT, 45 yrs 1880 Beaver UT, 54 yrs <s/b 55> 1900 Beaver UT, 74 yrs, living alone [M653-13l4/Page: 734/Une; 34] [M593-1610/Page; 20A/Une: 22] [T9-1335/Page: 17A/Une: 4] [T623-1682/Page: 17/Une: 18] Page 2

Based on the 1900 Census, Sarah could neither read nor write. Plus this census Indicated that she was bom in Canada, which contradicts other information available. Children : Elizabeth, James, George, Rebecca, Wandle P., Henry C, Joseph, Mary E., & Thomas H. Listed In an "Honor roll of mldwlves" for Beaver In "Monuments to courage: a history of Beaver County, pg 91, Beaver, Utah: Beaver Print. Co., C1948" 1885 : I t appears that Sarah Wills Gale suffered from "heart trouble" as early as 1885. A brief article was found which suggested : "Mrs Henry Gale was suddenly attacked with heart troubles which came near fatal. She was attending a dance when strickened .... a doctor was called to resuscitate her". ("Southern Utopian", 27 July 1885, pg 3 - Rustlngs Section). Death Certificate #400: Utah Board of Health [filed 5 Dec 1905] revealed the causes of death noted above and Indicated that his remains were removed and prepared by Jas. Cash - Undertakers, Beaver, UT on 19 Nov 1905. [Henry C. Gale, son, listed as informant]. Death Certificate also Indicated that her father's first name was "Thos", no mother name listed.

Henry Gale [1818-1891]

19 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) Fact: The Gale family was in the first group of Australian LDS Converts to immigrate to the US. It was one of only three identifiabte groups to come to the US through the Port of San Pedro - which was to had been intended to be the west coast terminus for LDS converts from the Pacific and Australian Missions and one of the primary motivations for the establishing a colony in Southern California. Two passenger lists for immigrants to Sydney that included a "Mr. Gate": Arriving 29 January 1831 on the ship "Resource" [441 tonnage, mastered by Shuttleworth] Sailed from London. Two Regiments of the British Army were on board. Originally published in the "Sydney Gazette" 1 February 1831. [Index of Passengers and Crews in and out of Sydney, Volume 1830-1832, LDS FHL Brit 994.41/sl w38m v.l] Arriving 2 September 1839 on the Barque "Sesostrus" [488 tonnage, mastered by James Rowe] Sailed from Plymouth. Passengers and merchandise were on board. Originally published in the "Sydney Gazette" 3 September 1839. Listed as a Intermediate Passenger. [Index of Passengers and Crews in and out of Sydney, Volume 1839, LDS FHL Brit 994.41/sl w38m v.5] The few other listings of the Gate sumame found in these books had full names or initials, either could be record of Henry Gale migration to Australia. Both fit into the published family history for this Gate family, since his son James recalled in his own history that Henry Gale arrived in Australia in the mid 1830's. Based on contemporary maps, Henry home in Box is closer to Plymouth than it is to London - so the second item noted may be the right record for his Immigration to Australia. Henry Gale and Sarah Wills (Willis) married in the St. James Parish, Church of England in Sydney. Elizabeth, their first child and future wife to Wm D. Kartchner, was christened in the St. Andrew Parish, Church of England in Sydney. [Australian Vital Records CD, LDS FHL]. Henry Gate was found in two city directories for Sydney : City of Sydney Directory 1844-1845 [LDS FHL Brit 994.41/S1 E41] listed: "Gate, Henry, Cow keeper, Kent Street D (between King and Market Streets)" Sydney Commercial Directory 1850-1851 [LDS FHL Brit 994.41/S1 E4s] listed: "Gate, Henry, Grocer, Campbell Street, Hay Market" Henry Gale was found on two listings of Electors (Voters?) for Sydney, although the surname was listed as "GALES" - these were they only listings of a "Henry Gale". And the second item conforms with the Sydney Commercial Directory noted above (the entries confirm the reference in the Gale Family History that Henry Gale operated a store in Sydney just prior to his immigration to America): Electors List 1845-1846 listed: "Henry Gales, House at 160 George Street - Phillip Ward" Electors List 1848-1849 listed: "Henry Gales, House, Campbell Street - Phillip Ward" [LDS FHL Brit 95364S Microfilm- "Listing of Electors for Etectorial Districts of Sydney] He practiced polygamy, along with about 20% of the other "Mormon" mates. He married Hannah Hollroyd Dade and her mother Mary Halliday on 18 Nov 1865 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City from which other branch of the family have sprung. Henry Gale served time in the Utah penitentiary in 1886 for having more than one wife. He signed a letter to the governor with other LDS men serving time for polygamy. He was sent to the Penitentiary for six months, and fined $300 by the enemies of the Church because he would not denounce the things (polygamy) upheld by Its leaders.

Page 3 Notes (Continued)

Articles have been found in a Beaver newspaper that described the legal process against Henry In the Illegal Cohabitation Charges filed against him. First: Indictment on 14 September; Henry's initial answer to the charge on 16 September; a "not Guilty" plead on 17 September. ("Southern Utopian", 18 September 1885, pg 3 - Second District Court Section). Second : An artide noting his release. "Father Henry Gale, who has been a prisoner In the Utah Penitentiary for the last six months for conscience' sake, was released on Monday last and retumed home on Wednesday. During the latter part of his Incarceration, Father Gale has enjoyed fairly good health, but shortly after he was taken from here to that place, he was taken sick and his life was dlspalred of. Still he was not despondent, but simply said that tf It was the Lord's will that he should die In prison he was willing to go. He had tried to Uve upright and an honest life and he was not afraid of death. The warden and doctor were very kind to him during his Imprisonment and dW what they could. He Is not sorry that he has had the experience with the other of his brethren, an he Is pleased once more to be with his family and friends at home". ("Southem Utopian", 25 June 1886, pg 3 - Local News Section). Naturalization : 3 Dec 1867 [Second Judical District Beaver County Utah Territory Children with Sarah Wills : See her sheet Children with Hannah Oade : John W., Mary H., Harriet E.f Oliver W., Michael H., Fanny, Sarah A., Irene, & Alice 1876 : Utah Territorial Doc #457: Henry acquired a patent to 160 acres of federal land <under the Homesteading Act of 1862> S.E. of Beaver on 10 Feb 1876. [Contemporary BLM Serial Number UTUTAA 009707]. He established a second home and farm, perhaps for his 2nd and 3rd wifes families. Sarah was reported to have stayed on In the first house In Beaver.

1885 : Second Federal Court for the Territory of Utah - Case #324: In 1885, he was indicted and convicted for Illegal Cohabitation with more than one woman as of June 1881. Rather than enforce the Morrill Act, which made bigamy punishable by a $500 fine and up to five years In prison, federal prosecutors used a Utah law banning "lewd and lascivious cohabitation." This statute carried a sentence of six months and was the punishment handed out to most pioneer polygamists. At the Utah [Sugarhouse] Federal Penitentiary, he served a six month sentence - December 1885 through June 1886. He was held for an additional 30 days due to the lack of the payment of a $300 fine [part of his sentence]. Payment finally secured his release. With other LDS men serving time for polygamy/ he signed a May 1886 letter to the Federally Appointed Territorial Governor, Caleb Walton West, seeking his intervention on behalf of the convicted Polygamists. His obituary stated that during the last six years of his life he was an Invalid due to rheumatism. Both Henry and his first wife, Sarah W., are marked by a single obelisk marker-wlth Sarah Inscribed to the left of that of Henry.

A brief history of the GALE Family as noted by his eldest son James: There was a severe depression In England In the mid 1830's so Henry asked for his inheritance and permission to leave the family and find his own way. His father (George Gale, mother Rebecca Packer) was a yeoman farmer (gentleman farmer working the land for someone else- a middle class O sorts at the time) granted permission and gave Henry what he could. f Henry traveled to Bristol (port dty about 15 miles away) and worked at the docks, saving money andfinallyarranging to work for passage to Australia aboard one of the ships leaving there. Henry worked in the shipyards in Liverpool. Finally got a chance to help work on a ship going to Australia. Two Of his brothers joined him (in Australia) and Hved and died there."
>

According to records found by Marjorie Newton, Australian researcher, Henry and his brother Charles obtained work herding sheep In Wellington, some 150 miles northwest of Sydney.

Sometime later In Sydney he met Sarah Wills originally from Ireland, and they were married 8 April 1844. Theirfirstchild, Elizabeth, was bom in Sydney 20 January 1845. They had been able to begin a store and were experiencing some success supporting themselves that way. Ufe seemed
' * 9 *

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) sent missionaries to Australia m the early 1850's. Henry and Sarah were converted and baptized by John Murdock, one of the missionaries, and Immediately the persecution started from their neighbors, Including the boycott of their little store. Desiring to "gather" where the other members were, they liquidated what they could and purchased passage aboard ship headed for San Pedro (Los Angeles), On Wednesday 7 Apr 1853 they started for America with a small company of Saints in charge of Elder Wendell. This was the first company of Saints to leave Australia to come to America. They left Sidney In the ship/barque Envelope, [from Sydney 6th Apr 1853 to San Francisco Ship Master Smith] with their four children; Elizabeth, James, George, and Rebecca. [Nine weeks after leaving Sydney they reached America and landed at San Pedro, California.] Sarah was pregnant as they left and gave birth to Wendle Pacific Gale aboard ship (12 May 1853). They settled in San Bemadino for a couple of years (a "Mormon" settlement at the time) but when the Utah War was imminent, San Bernardino was abandoned and most crossed the "Lower California" desert into the Territory of Deseret (later called the Territory of Utah) to defend the faith and their homes.

22 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) Henry reached and settled m Beaver, Utah on 14 Feb 1858, southem Utah. About the year 1860 Henry bought a daim of land on North Creek, of Matthew McQuan, about three mites north of Beaver and homesteaded land joining it. We sold our home m the city. Page 5

Prudence followed the custom of the time and arranged "apprenticeships" for her young sons to help relieve her of the burdens of raising a large family - as reflected in the 1830 Census noted below. Little is known of her life with Collins, he was supposedly related to a renown axe maker in Virginia, but this can not be confirmed. Supposedly, she and Collins - along with her two daughters - initially moved to what is now West Virginia. Then

When and how she came to Iowa is not known, the census schedules indicate that she was Irving near or with one of her daughter's families in Missouri. Based on census schedules, at least two of her children, John C. and Sarah, would remain in in Jasper Co, IA - during most of the lives. During the summer of 1861, Prudence filed a second claim for and received Bounty Land Warrants 15050-40-50 & 9277412055 for 246 acres of land in Powesheak, Jasper County, IA, as a result of Christopher John's service in the Pennsylvania Militia during the War of 1812.

Written about her in later years; 'There was no particular design or reason in the planting of her flower beds, herbs, and vines other than she wanted fragrance and color. It was a large garden enclosed with high picket fence painted white, the little gate swung in and out on its old rusted hinges and a grassy path led to the center where stood an old apple tree strange and sturdy, the bark of Its rugged trunk recording a life time of usefulness and yet in June time pink blossoms added fragrance, mingling with the scent of roses. The old fashioned flowers, pinks, marigolds, forget-me-nots, poppies and touch-me-nots, with their seed pods that would curl up in your fingers when touched were planted in small beds. Walks through the garden were bordered with mignonette, and lush in the background hollyhock's bright colors mingled with the golden sunflowers as the nodded and turned their faces to the sun. The garden was an enchanting place of beauty and fragrance and here is where you would find her sitting, under the apple tree in a low rocking chair, welcoming friends who came to see her garden. She wore a dress of black with a bit of lace at her throat and a cap with a little rosette of ribbon on her white curls. Time had robbed away the curves and coloring of youth, yet her eyes were sparkling and her cheeks still the same tint of apple blossoms. Years had not taken from her face the beauty of her inner soul.

Notes (Continued)
Prudence Collins came to Iowa in a canvas covered wagon when the lands were a waving plain of high grass, Indians were roaming the wide prairies, and only a few log houses had been built on farms made ready for planting. She had endured the hardships of pioneer life, her kindness and help in sickness in many homes will always be remembered when no other help could be had in this new country. What changes have taken place since the days of grandmother Collins." [A tribute by Sadie Hurst, a longtime neighbor of Prudence Willcox Kartchner Collins] As noted at the beginning of her family record, she was interned at McKeever Cemetery, IA near her son John C. and many of her grandchildren.

Notes (Continued)
Based on what records that can be found for him, it would seem that he preferred to be called Christopher, rather than John. The National Archives confirmed that Christopher [John] Kartchner was part of the Roxburough Militia organized and placed under a Colonel Thompson, Colonel Thompson's forces were at Camp at Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania between Sept 1814 and Jan 1815. The National Archives show that Christopher [John] Kartchner mustered out and paid for service at discharge on January 2,1815 (several days before the Battle of New Orleans). This contridicts Williams biography, but histories of the War of 1812 and the Battle of New Orleans clearly state that: No Pennslyvania militia companies participated in a military engagement under Andrew Jackson at New Orleans unless they were a member of the US Regulars (7th and 44th US Infantry, 1st US Dragoons, US Marines, US Lt. Artillery). Rather they were employed in the defense of Philadelphia after the British attempted to destroy Washington DC by fire. Thousands of men were stationed with others from across eastern Pennsylvania on the Delaware river below the city near Marcus Hook for a period of four months. John Christopher Kartchner was buried in an "unmarked grave" in 'Lot 64 Section 2 lower position'..,dates of death and burial not on record at cemetery. The card for this grave, Lot 64, indicates Charles G, Shafer was buried in the upper position of Section 2 on 8/24/1878; thereby indicating he was buried prior to this date. The owner is listed as Mrs. S.H. Shafer. A Mrs. Sara Ann Shafer is indicated as being buried in Section 1 upper in 1905. This indicates she was probably the last person buried in this Lot 64. I'm assuming she is the Mrs. S. H. Shafer listed as the owner. The original owner was listed as Peter W. Wallover [wife's cousin] who was buried in Section 1 lower In 1871. There are 5 other Shafers and one Unnie Leader, also buried in Lot 64.

He was interned 25 Jan 1879 in the Tooele City Cemetery, Plot 4-2-50

Grandmother Sharp - As told by Elizabeth Bowles, July, 1947 I do not remember my grandmother Sharp very well however. Her name was Martha Griffith before she was married to grandfather. She was born in Nashville Tenn. On August 7,1820 and was a daughter of Jonathon T. Griffith and Sarah Lumley Griffith. She has sparkling blue eyes and brown curry hair. She always wore her hair cut down to her collar and it fell In little curls around her head. Grandma Sharp told me about coming across the plains and leaving her bedding and other things piled high on the banks Missouri River, as they could only take so much with them. Her father and grandfather also came west. Her grandfather lived in Orin, Utah and owned a tot of property there. I remember hearing them tell that he lived to be about 109 years old. He remarried when he was 100. Sometime after grandfather Sharp's death grandmother married a man by ti)e name of Dwiggens. They moved to Washington, Grandmother Sharp died in Reardon Washington April 12,1905.

The Search for Martha: After James' death, his widow appears to have remarried, to James Dwiggins. Research suggests that she/they would move first to Idaho and eventually to Washington State. As noted above, no census entries can be found after that of 1870 or 1900 for either a "Martha Sharp" or a "Martha Dwiggins". These discoveries tend to confirm this association: A. Several listings for a James Dwiggins were discovered in various City Directories mid 19th Century Salt Lake City: 1867 G. Owens Directory, shown living in 8th Ward. 1869 E.L. Sloan Directory, shown living in 20th Ward, "a saddler". Not found in any other City Directories that were published after these two discoveries. B. A Martha Dwiggins was found in the 1880 Census; Dwiggins, Martha - Oakley, Cassia, ID, 56 "MidWife" but no husband listed. The age was wrong, but the birthplaces seem correct. Several of her children were listed in the same community: James R.; John M.; Heber C ; and a daughter Sarah E. Keplinger [T9-173/Pg: 150A/B] C.

The Identification of the individuals In this portrait is in dispute. It Is believed that they are as follows:

Back r o w : [L-R] Joseph Sk [1840-1899], John M. [18351916] Seated: [L-R] Georoe W. [1846-1900], James R. [1844-1901], IL Heber C.K. [1882

Justification:
.James R./Martha A. Sharp had nine sons: John M. [1835-1916], William [1838-1839], Joseph S. [1840-1899], iJames R. [1844-19011 George W. [1846-1900], Brigham Y. [1850-1938], Jefferson C. [1855-1881], Arson P. [1857-1881] & Heber C.K. [1862-1939]. The identification Is based the Impression that this photograph was taken In the 1880's - shortly after the deaths of two of the younger Sharp boys, Jefferson and Arson, In 1881. I t Is believed Brigham Y. Sharp was in Stockton, Tooele County, Utah at this time, so was absence for the seating - all of the other brothers were In southem Idaho In the 1880's. As a partial confirmation, the Intemet source of this Image Identified the seated Individual In the center as their great great grandfather James R. [Jr]; the first individual seated has been identified as George W. by an family who submitted a much smaller, poorer quality (mage to my brother Michael - but this family contented i that the older man in the back was James R. [Sr.] which would not be possible since he died in 1863 and the (youngest Individual photographed was bom In 1862. The identification of Joseph S. Is based on photographs found In the Hiolev Family History discovered at the LDS FamUy History Center in Salt Lake City.

Sharp" served as a Corporal in the second company formed by Captain Asel F. Ball that became part of the Third (Bogurt?) Brigade, Fifth Regiment of the Illinois Militia during the Black Hawk War of 1831-1832. He was recruited on 20 July 1832 for a 90 day period of service at (Lewiston) Fulton County. As a Corporal, he was paid approximately 88 cents per day (23 cents base + 40 cents for his horse + 25 cents for foraging rations). Recorded as being a "Odd Battalion of Mounted Rangers", it appears that they took part in the final campaign of that conflict. He was mustered out on 4 September 1832.

Note : One reference noted that shortly after arriving in Fulton County, he spend a short time in the "Black Hand". No Information could be found about such an organization in Illinois history or the early history of the LDS church. It seems very possible that a handwrittened account was mis-transcribed and his reference to Black Hawk (War) was transformed Into "Black Hand". In the only accounting of his life presented by one of James's great, great grandchildren, a transcription noted the various areas of Illinois that he settled in during his early adulthood. This effort guided searches through the various Federal Censuses and other available references. 1843 : On 23 April, a group of nine men excavated into a large mound in Kinderhook, Pike County, IL. They discovered charcoal, ashes, human bones, and six brass plates. The plates were bell shaped, and each had a small hole near the small end, with a ring holding them together. These plates contained some kind of hieroglyphic writing that has never been interpreted. Initially these plates were thought to be more proof of the legitimacy of the Book of Mormon, if not a continuation. Eventually, they would be seen as fakes generated by the technology of the age and an attempt to trick and discredit Joseph Smith and his Book of Mormon. One of the witnesses to the Kinderhook Plates excavation and discovery, was a visiting LDS church Elder - a J.R. Sharp [as noted in the Life Sketch presented at the end of his sheet]. The forgers intentionally "discovered" the plates in the presence of a Latter-day Saint neighbor, who took them to the prophet and church founder. Allegedly, the Kinderhook Plates were given to J. R. Sharp to be delivered to Joseph Smith in Nauvoo. He probably brought back more detailed information about the excavation than what was published in the 'Times and Seasons". The 1840 Census does show that James R. Sharp was in Calhoun County, IL which is just south of Pike County and he appears to have been the only one Sharp with the initials "J.R". 1835 : March - Sharp, James R married Griffith, Martha on the 3rd of March in Madison Co IL - Vol 6/ Pg 29 UC #160 [Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763ul900/IHinois State Archives 8i the Illinois State Genealogical Society www.cvfjerdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/marrsrch.html] April - Illinois State Doc #6689 - James acquired a patent to 42.27 acres land <April 24,1820: Sale-Cash Entry (3 Stat. 566)> In Madison County on 22 Apr [Contemporary BLM Accession/Serial # IL0240_.216/BLM Serial Nr.: IL NO S/N].

Notes (Continued) The biography noted above described how James immigrated to Utah late in 1860, possibly with the John P. Taylor Company, as Captain of 1st Ten - but none of his family is listed with him. Moving to Davis County late in 1862. Children : John M. 1835-1916, Mary [Sperry] 1837-1909, William 1838-1839, Joseph S. 1840-1899, Sarah E. [Keplinger] 18421899, James R. 1844-1901, George W. 1846-1927, Nancy J.

The location of James' grave cannot be identified. In correspondence wrth the Kaysville Sexton, thefollowingwas suggested: "In 1863, the dead were commonly interned on family owned lands; a house lot or a farm". James did not seem to had purchased any land prior to his death, so it he could have been interned on a lot of a friend.

James Robertson Sharp - Grandfather as told by Elizabeth Bowles, Jury, 1947 My grandfather James Robertson Sharp was bom Nashville Tennessee on June 20,1807. Grandfather loved the woods and was a good hunter. He trained his boys to be good shots too. He used to give them so many rounds of ammunition and they would be expected to bring so much game back with it. Grandfather joined the Mormon Church not long after It was organized. His name is mentioned in church history as ear as 1843. He was a witness to the six plates that were found near Kinderhook. He was a very devout church member and worked hard in the church all of his life. Grandfather and his family came across the plains to Utah and he was one of the leaders of the company. I don't remember my grandfather Sharp at all because he died before I was born. I only know things about him that I remember father telling about. Grandfather Sharp died Kaysville, Utah on May 22,1863.

Notes (Continued)
Truman's father apparently had a distant cousin by the same name, early census records only lists the Head of Households, so this may lead to confusion in tracking the right "Oliver Higley". As first discovered in the 1820 Census - Onondaga, NY, Oliver Higley with family of eight [M33-67/Pg: 220/Entry]. This Oliver would eventually migrate to and die in Nebraska. A History of the Higley family suggests that Truman and Lucy Fisher married in Kirtland, Ohio rather than at the Illinois location noted above, but the census records tend to support this first entry. 1841 : February - HIGLEY, TRUMAN m. FISHER, LUCY A 02/28/1841 SANGAMON CO IL Vol 2/PG 0127 LIC#??? [Source : Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763-1900/Illinois State Archives & the Illinois State Genealogical Society / www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealcxjyMWeb/marrerch.html] Fact or Myth : Truman may have had an additional wife - Polly Ann Graham, supposedly married 6 Feb 1857. This date is after his first wife died and before it te recorded that he would marry Sarah Ann Irvine. It appears that Sarah Ann Irvine was widowed by her first husband [William Price] just a few months prior to her marriage to Truman. Only one notation has been found, so it is possible that this wife died shortly after their marriage or perhaps, refused to be part of a poiygamist marriage when he married Sarah in 1858. This may be an simple error in record keeping, as discussed above, a similar entry has been found for Joseph Smith Sharp, who supposedly had a second wife by the name of Emely Fellows.

We immigrated to Illinois (from Michigan) in 1842, where we remained until the spring of 1846, where by tbe order of the Governor of Illinois we were driven from our homes along with the Saints.

I have been forty years a member of the Church of God, and I have never for one moment doubted the truth of His work, and my constant prayer is that I may prove faithful to the end. I have ten living children and thirty-three grandchildren, and I pray God, my Eternal Father, to enable them to be faithful to the cause of Christ, and that they may gain for themselves an exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom of our God, and that we may meet in Heaven to enjoy the society of our loved ones that have gone before, with the just and the true.

This was her given name, but all her life she went by the name "SPEEDY" due to her quick nature. She was born May 25, 1820 in Leeds, Upper Canada (now Ontario, Canada) just across the border from upper New York state). Her parents, David H. Brown and Lucinda Batchelder, were good honest people. Her father was a blacksmith by trade. She was the second of seven : 1. Minerva 2. Experience 3. Peaceable 4. Jonathan D. 5. Edward R. 6. Lucy A. 7. Norman H. married William B. SMITH in Michigan married (1) German ELLSWORTH, (2) Philo JOHNSON married (1) Milo KING, (2) Daniel ELLSWORTH married Eleanor Ann STOCKING married Sarah C. WORDEN married Lyman R. RUSSELL or Russell R. LYMAN married Emily J. MOSS in Davison, Michigan

Speedy's father, David H. (middle name either Hubble or Hyrum) Brown, was bom 5 Feb. 1794 in Bastard, Leeds, Ontario, Canada, and died in Goodland, Lapeer Co., Michigan in 1866 or 1867. Speedy's mother Lucinda Batchelder, was bom 23 June 1798 in Bastard, Leeds, Ontario, Canada and died in Shelby, Macomb, Michigan in 1831 or early 1832, when Speedy was 11 years old. Her father then married Elizabeth M. Smith 22 Jan 1832, in Troy, Michigan. After her death he married Prudence Douglass, so Speedy had two step-mothers. Speedy's grandparents were probably Loyalists who moved from the U.S. to Canada during the Revolutionary War period. Her paternal grandparents were Hyrum (Jesse) Brown - lived in Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and later Ontario - and Peaceable Gifford (1770-1849). Speedy's maternal grandparents were John Batchelder (1757-1820), of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Ontario and Susannah or Sarah Bullard (1763-1838), from Massachusetts. John Batchelder's parents were Nehemiah Batchelder (1716-1810) and Experience Perham (1715-1799) of Massachusetts. Experience Perham's mother was named Experience Powers. (This is where Speedy's first name came from - she was named after both her grandmother and her great grandmother.)

Speedy lived in six localities during her life: 1820-1830: in Canada 1830-1842: Attica, Lapeer Co., Michigan - She married German Ellsworth on 22 November 1837, at age 17. In 1842 they were converted and went to gather with the Saints. 1842-1846: Charteston, Lee County, Iowa, opposite Nauvoo. 1846-1849: Kanesville (now Council Bluffs), Pottawattamie Co., Iowa 1849-1958: Salt Lake City, Utah - German Ellsworth died a few months after they arrived, leaving Speedy with six small children, the oldest not quite 10 years old. (Seven children had been bom to them, but one had died in Council Bluffs early that same year.) 1850 Speedy Brown Ellsworth married PhitoJohnson [amongst the first pioneers to enter the Utah area and a confidant to Brigham Young and several other church leaders] in Salt Lake, and the family lived there until 1857 or 1858. 1858-1896: Payson, Utah Co., Utah. In all, she had fourteen children ~ seven by her first husband, German Ellsworth, and seven more by her second husband, Philo Johnson.

Notes [Bom on Wednesday, died on a Wednesday] It appears that his parents, Israel Ellsworth and Prudence Stevens, were cousins. German's grandfather abandoned his wife and young family in 1790 - supposedly "tost in the forests". During hfe absence, his grandmother (Hopestill Stevens) remarried at least three times - having children with one or more of these men. Israel the first, re-emerged after his wife and several of his children immigrated to Canada. His father, Israel - the second, remained in Vermont for a short time before he traveled norm to join his mother just before German's birth. Israel (2) Ellsworth and his family fled Canada to avoid the "Orange and Tory War" [this could be a local reference to the Canadian Separatist Rebellion of 1837-1838]. They crossed the Saint Lawrence River by bobsled, which suggests that they fled In the dead of winter. First to New York, then west to LaPeer, Michigan. It fits into the fact that German Ellsworth was in Michigan to buy land in September of 1838 (noted below).

Teamsters 1, wagons 1, mutes 1, yoke of oxen 4, meal 4, flour 70, corn 9,1 plough and 1 bu. wheat. Family: Spedy 26, Elizabeth 7, Ephraim 5, Evaline 4, Esther 2, Minerva 1. Based on Infbrmation In a book - "Our Ellsworth Ancestors" [compiled by German E, Ellsworth discussing the families of German, David and Edmund : LDS FHL 929.273 EL59J]: German had wanted to join the first 1847 group to immigrate to Utah. At the request of Brigham Young, German and his family remained in Kanesville - so he could act as "clerk and checker" for those gathering at Council Bluff. Upon arrival in the Great Salt Lake Valley, German purchased land near Third South and Second West.

Census: 1840 Dryden, Lapeer Co., MI, German "Elsworth" w/b 25 yrs - with 4 Children [M704-207/Page: 19/Entry: 2] Children : Elizabeth (1839-1857), Ephraim Edgar (1841-1887), Evaline [EUsworth/McCall/Allen/Simmons] (1842-1892), Esther [Dowdte/Catey/Potter] (1844-1918), Nancy Minerva [Zuflet] (1846-1936), Israel (1848-1849) & German , Jr. (18491922) German died six weeks after arriving In Salt Lake. His widow married Phil Johnson and began a second family. As noted above, Speedy was Interned next to her second husband. The internment plot may be unmarked. Note : German Ellsworth was mentioned several times in "Autobiography and Journal of Allen Russell (1824-1919)", detailing several experiences of both men during the early days of their involvement with the LDS Church. German Ellsworth German Ellsworth (sometimes speUed "Elsworth") is believed to be descended from those who resided in a place in Cambridgeshire, England called "Eeteworth"; from the original spelling meaning "place of eels". It has been suggested mat the family was part of the Land Gentry and Yeomanry of Great Britain going back as far as 1273. It appears that the first of the family line came to British North America early in the seventeenth century. Josiah Ellsworth fled to America, supposedly, due to persecution with severity for those not conforming to the Anglican faith. The first "authentic" record of this Ellsworth family line in America, is the marriage record between Josiah and Elizabeth Holcomb in 1654. With whom he fathered Josiah, Elizabeth, Mary, Martha, Thomas, Jonathan, John, Job, and Benjamin - the first of a generous legacy of descendants continuing in America today. He settled in the Colony of Connecticut and a family descended, including notables - Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth and William W. Ellsworth, Govemor of Connecticut. German was bom 19 January 1815 in Leeds, Upper Canada, but his line of the Ellsworth family is in Colonial America. His grandmother, Hopstill Stevens, and many of her children moved to Canada after abandoned by his grandfather - Israel - in 1790. It has been suggested, that his family retumed to the United States early In 1837 -fleeingCanada to avoid the threatened violence of the Upper Canada Rebellion.

23 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) They crossed the frozen St. Lawrence River by bobsleigh arriving in Ogdensburg, New York. They lived near Paris, Oneida County for a short time. By Autumn of 1837, the family moved on to LaPeer, Michigan, where he married Experience A. Brown on 25 November 1837 (he would have been 22 years. Experience -17). Experience was the daughter of David H. and Lucinda Bacheldor Brown and was described as "a stocky, light comptexioned, blue eyed lady". She would bear fourteen children, thirteen bearing dark complexions (genetically suggesting German had a dark complexion). Gemian purchased 80 acres of land that he cleared and fenced by the following Autumn of 1838, German heard the missionaries of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and was baptized In 1841. He would be ordained an Elder a short time later and, with Elder Brown, go on to convert 385 others over the next two years. By October 1842, he sold his farm to hb half-brother, Daniel, and joined the party of 380 new members of the church on their trek from Michigan to Nauvoo, Illinois - the headquarters of the Church then. In Nauvoo, German gave all the time possible from 1842 to 1846 to aid in the construction of the Temple. Gennan, being of a "clerical tum of mind" attempted to assemble the records of his ancestors in keeping with the revelations and teachings of Joseph Smith. Procedures deemed necessary and essential for future proxy baptisms and endowments for the dead. Unfortunately, the records were drenched by heavy rains and were destroyed when attempts were made to dry them before an open fireplace. He and his wife received their temple endowments in the partially completed Temple before the exodus In early 1846. He was anxious to travel west with the first company, but at the request of President Young remained as "clerk and checker" of the Kanesville gathering place near Council Buff, Iowa. Thus their leaving for Utah was delayed until the spring of 1849. At this time they travelled in Shadrack Roundys Company [Samuel Gully / Orson Spencer Company], They arrived In the Salt Lake Valley 23 September 1849. The family purchased property near third south and second west, at that time called the "Jennings Block". Largely the result of exposure and his strenuous efforts on thetangtrip west, German contracted mountain fever which took his life on 9 November 1849 - only six weeks after the family arrived in Salt Lake City. After the family walked much of the way from Omaha by foot, to the strange, desert lands of Utah, his widow and young children had to face the winter of 18491850 alone.

A photograph of him was discovered in the book, "Millville Memories 1860-1990" (composed and published by the Cache County Historical Society : LDS FHL 979.22 mi h2m). Entries in this book suggests that Esaias was also known by the name "ZEBB".

Esaias Edwards [1812-1897]

19 Oct 2005 Notes (Continued) Kept a personal journal [Esaias Edwards-Autobiography and diary, BYU MSS 184] - noting his activities in the Mormon Migration and in the settlement of Utah. His joumal also notes his thoughts on the Civil War and other national events. As noted below, he was also very much interested in Astromony, dedicating several pages of his journals to his observations and beliefs. Siblings : Andrew 1812-1846, Jesse 1815-1835, Elizabeth (Stow) 1816-1886, Jonathan S. 1818-1847, Milton M. 1820-1886, Anna 1823-1902, Armilda 1825-1908, Sally (Wade) 8i Eli 1826-1904. All of these names appeared "Early Record Index for Adam County, Illinois" (LDS FHL 977.344 P22e / Microfilm 189543 : Box C-1 Case 30). Note : The various Internet postings for Esaias' family suggest additional siblings, but these were the only names included in the papers filed to settle his father's estate in 1834. Residences : Pike Co., MO; Lincoln Co., MO; St. Charles Co., MO; Pike Co., MO; Calhoun Co, IL; Pike Co., IL; Quincy, Adams Co., IL; 3o Daviess Co., IL; Nauvoo, Hancock Co., IL; Montrose, IA; lowaville, IA; Council Bluff, IA; Murktoe Creek, IA; Salt Lake City, UT; Tooele Co., UT; Brigham, UT; Millville, UT; Saint George, UT; Gunlock, UT. Occupation : Lumber Mill Operator / Carpenter / Leather Tanner / Shoemaker / Millwright / Farmer / Distiller / Amatuer Astronomist Note : The search for records and information on Esaias was a excellent example of the challenge due to the variations in spelling at the time the records were completed as well as the transcription errors that comes with Genealogy. As represented below, his name was either recorded or has been transcribed in at least nine different variants. Esaias listed Pike Co., MO as his place of birth. The Missouri Territory of 1812 consisted of approximately two thirds of the upper portion of the Louisianna Purchase. The basic confines of contemporary Missouri was not formed into a territory until 1820, admitted to the union in 1821. The 1820 census for limited to only those states east of the Mississippi River, so confirmation is not possible. Based on infbrmation found in 'The Founding Of Adam County" (LDS FHL Microfilm 1870280). Esaias, his parents and many of his siblings were in Adam County as early as 1828 - there is a notation that Andrew Edwards was summoned to participate in a Grand Jury in September of that year. Description of his education as noted in his autobiography: " I set my mind more attentive to search after knowledge, having received education so that I was able to read, write, and cipher some in the arithmetic."

And I told them if they would come home with me that I would receive them into my house." ["Quincy-A Crty of Refuge", Susan Easton Black, LDS FHL 977,344/Ql K2c ] April - Called as a witness in a criminal case involving the escape of John Nichols on 12 September 1838.

October - In attendence of the LDS Conference at Commerce, Illinois, on the 6th, 7th and 8th - voting on many issues including the establishment of a Ward of the LDS church on the west bank of the river in the territory of Iowa - at which he was appointed Elder of the church by Joseph Smith.

"Edwards, Esaus/Miles, Belinda" appeared in Marriage Notices from the Frontier Guardian 1849-1852. As noted above, Elizabeth's died in 1845 while still in Nauvoo, IL. Esaias would marry four other women. Esaias married [29 April 1845] his second wife, Sara Gibbs shortly after the death of his first. She would bear him a son. Both mother and son would die in 1847. His third wife [married 24 October 1847] would be Belinda Miles, she would accompany him to Utah as noted below and give him eight more children. His fourth and fifth marriages would be his entry into polygamy: (4) 30 May 1872, to Irene Page and (5) 23 June 1873, to Ann Nuttal (Robinson). 1848 : The Edwards family immigrated to Utah as part of the Willard Richards Company [in the ten that was under the direction of Moses Martin] in October 1848. He is listed as "Ezias", age 36. 1850 : A passage in Leonard Arlington's book on the history of the LDS church suggests that Esaias was part of the Building committee in SLC, in charge of collecting taxes or tithing from the membership ('The Mormon experiences history of the Latter-day Saints", Leonard J. Arrington and Davis Bitton, Random House, 1979 : LDS FHL 289.309 Ar69m). 1853 : Built the first "grist mill" [flour mill] in Tooele County. It was in operation for nearly eigth decades -much of time it was refered to as the "Edwards Mill" even though it would go through several othe rowners/operators. ['The History of Tooele County", the Utah Daughters of the Pioneers, LDS FHL 979.243 H2d] 1857 : "On the 17th of Jury we received our sealing by Brigham Young the prophet of the Lord in the house of endowments at the Alter of the Lord, Belinda acting Proxy I first had Elizabeth Cambell sealed to me for etemity.

[Esaias Edwards -Autobiography and diary, 1856-1882, July 17,1857 : BYU MSS 184] 1859 : Built a water powered sawmill on the Blacksmith Fork River, Cache Co., ID. It was a little saw mill where the old rock frame of a grist miH now stands in the west part of Millville. The first saw was an upright saw and was pushed and pulled up and down through a log which was placed upon a frame. The frame moved back and forth as the saw went from one end of the log to the other. At first the saw was operated by one man standing in a pit under the tog and one man on top.

Notes (Continued) Edwards installed a water wheel to operate the saw. It seemed to me the saw never stopped it went night and day sawing timber. 1 can hear the strokes of that old saw now. There were few of these saws in the valley at that time so a number came from the surrounding settlements to the Edwards' mill to get their logs sawed and lumber. [Sources: "History of a Valley:Cache Valley-Utah/ldaho", ed. by Ricks, Joel E., Cache Valley Centennial Commission, Logan Ut 1956; #R979.2 R426H Seattle Public Library / "Millville Memories 1860-1990" LDS FHL 979.22 mi h2m] 1860 : Established a small gristmill in connection with the sawmill. The saw mill helped to provide ties for the laying of tracks for the Utah Northern Railroad. He also crafted furniture out of some of the lumber that he had milled. Esaias' operation of these two milts gave Millville it's name. It was known as the Elkhom Ranch prior to its designation as Millville. He also operated a molasses mill and connected to ic was a distiller. The distiller was where Cider and "Valley Tan", slang for whiskey made out of the useless material, was made and sold to travelling gentiles. He also tanned leather for shoes. He also shared the duties of the Justice of the Peace for Millville. Esaias would be credited for building the first house in the Millville area. It would be the first three homes that he would build during his time in Millville. The first he described as "built near 200 W and First Street - an adobe with the cracks in the walls chinked with mud and a roof of thatching covered with mud and sod. Two window openings provided the luxuries." His second house "made of wood slabs with windows of white cloth dipped in fat which kept out the cold and allow light to fitter in." His final home had 14 doors, 17 windows and 7 rooms. (Cache co. was so called from the fact that certain trappers or emigrants cached some goods there as they passed through.) When the church asked him to move south and lend his talents to other communities he was assured that he would receive a "fair" price for his Millville holdings.

Notes (Continued)
1878 : In the Deseret News obiturary for his daughter Elizabeth's death in 1878, he is refered as "Exaus" The Washington County Cemetery Index has him listed as EDWARDS, "Esaus" During a September 2004 visit to the Saint George cemetery, his orginal tombstone seems to have been replaced with a new marker. This was also the opinion of the cemetery attendant that aided me in my search for his grave - when and by whom was not known. The obituary for Esaias Edwards indicated that he had suffered a long illness prior to his death 7 June 1897. Since he died in an area so far from Salt Lake City, as was common, his obituary did not appear in the church paper - "Desert News" - until 14 days after his death [page 6, 28 June 1897 daily edition].

From his journal: "I married Elizabeth Campbell on the 27th of August, in the year 1831.1 was then improving my land which I had purchased in the spring of the same year. But in about a week after we were married, she was taken sick with the fever and lay very low for about six weeks. She then gained her strength so that we removed to my land. Then I commenced steady on my land clearing off skirts of timber and hazel [rougue] and fencing in land and breaking up land, and working out for the neighbors to obtain such things as we needed for to keep house. The next summer my wife united herself with the same church to which I belonged. Esaias Edwards was born on 10 April 1812 in Hipone, Pike County, Missouri, to Andrew and Anna (Buckalew) Edwards. We then removed to the state of Illinois, Adams County, near Quincy. Remained there one year and then purchased a tract of land seven miles above Quincy where we settled and made additional improvements, and there we lived 'tjl the spring of 1831 when I purchased a tax title on a quarter section of land laying about four mites northeast of my father's farm. Commenced improving it, and on the 7th of August I married Miss Elizabeth Campbell. [Esaias Edwards -Autobiography and diary, 1856-1882, BYU MSS 184] In 1839 he joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after his wife of eight years, Elizabeth (Campbell) Edwards, was miraculously healed. Esaias and Elizabeth left Missouri the following year to join me Latter-day Saints at Nauvoo, Illinois. Elizabeth died five years later in 1845, leaving behind six children. Esaias remarried shortly after. He and his new wife, Sarah Gibbs, had a son in 1846, but the child died nine months later. Sarah died in 1847. Belinda Miles, Esaias' third wife, accompanied him on the journey to Salt Lake City in 1848 in the Willard Richards Company." Also, from his joumal, Esaias Edwards commented on composition of companies making the trip to Salt Lake: "these large companies traveled pretty much together for over three hundred mites and then ft was thought best to separate and travel in Smaller Companies. The logistics offindingcamping places that would provide sufficient water and feed for the livestock each day for large companies was unworkable." Relating to his third marriage to Belinda Miles: The couple had eleven children during theirforty-two-yearmarriage. Esaias farmed, operated a mill, and maintained an orchard during his life in Utah. Two years after arriving at Satt Lake Crty he moved to Tooele Valley and then to Cache County. The gristmill he built in Tooele, locally known as the Edwards mill, continued to operate for another eight decades after Esaias' departure. In 1873, one year before Esaias permanently settled in the St. George area, he married Ann Nuttall as a plural wife. Esaias died on 10 June 1897 in St. George at the age of eighty-five. He had fathered eighteen children and adopted one son. Belinda did not want to make the move and remained in Millville. This was confirmed by the 1880 Census: Belenda Edward with son Issac in Millville, Cache Co. Other Wives - including Poiygamist Unions:

A Special Tribute
to

Thomas Mcguire Bennett and Margaret Lavina Wilson

Thomas Mcguire and Margaret Wilson Bennett fostered two generational links in the greater Kartchner Family Line. Verbal recollections of my grandmother, LuRea Sharp Kartchner, late in her life, mentioned "Grandma Bennett". So clearly the Bennetts had a significant influence on three branches of the Kartchner Family Tree: Edwards, Ellsworth and Sharp - so much so that the Kartchner line may have evolved in entire different direction without them. Most of the following has been recorded on the Genealogy Sheets for each, but is offered here in summary to express the important role of the Bennetts: After the death of Esaias Edwards' first wife, Elizabeth Campbell, in 1845 - the LDS church leadership suggested that Esaias allow the Bennetts to foster his youngest daughter [Elizabeth] - since at the time the couple was without children [about a year later, the Bennetts would give birth to a son, William 1846-1904]. With the Bennetts, Elizabeth immigrated to the Utah Territory - settled first in the area of Utah Lake. Elizabeth Edwards, is listed in the censuses as a "granddaughter" to the Bennetts. Elizabeth met and married Ephraim Edgar Ellsworth, son of German Ellsworth in Utah. They later moved to a Mormon settlement that became part of southem Idaho. The Bennetts also moved to this northern Mormon settlement and lived on the same side of the original Franklin fort as did the Ellsworths. The book 'The Trail Blazer" notes that Ephraim Ellsworth and Thomas Bennett were amongst the first to build a house in the Whitley area near the original Franklin Fort. Sadly, as was her mother's fate, Elizabeth Edwards Ellsworth died shortly after giving birth to her last child. It has been recorded that Elizabeth was buried in Whitley, Idaho. After reevaluating the information in 'The Trail Blazer", it is believed that she was buried on either the land being developed by her husband or that of the Bennetts rather then in a formal cemetery. As Esaias Edwards had done about thirty years earlier, Ephraim Ellsworth would ask the Bennetts to raise his ten years old daughter, Melissa Elizabeth. Melissa remained with the Bennetts which introduced her to the Sharp family. Ephraim Ellsworth moved back to the Payson area of Utah, dying there in 1887, shortly before Melissa's marriage to James Irvin Sharp, son of Joseph Smith Sharp. A detailed tribute was intended for the Bennetts, but as with so many families - little seems to have been produced about them. Thomas Mcguire Bennett is noted in the book, "Conquerors of the West" and they are mentioned in the Family History prepared by a distant cousin, Genevieve Joy Jenkins Despain A brief Pedigree for Thomas Mcguire Bennett: There is some infbrmation identifying the first of the Bennett line immigrated to the American Colonies in the mid 1650's after receiving land grants on the border between Gloucester and King 8i Queen Counties, Virginia. He married in that colony and had at least two sons. This record is unclear which of these sons was in the lineage of Thomas Mcguire. The next entry seems to represent the Sixth Generation and beyond [which may not be correct]. 6th Generation:

William Bennett 1755-1823 - married Catherine Bernard 1758-????

[a William Bennett was listed as an officer in the American Continental Army during the early years of the American Revolution - gained the rank of Lieutenant and resigned in 1778]

.
^^^W

7th Generation: William (Jr) Bennett 1790-1846 - married Elizabeth Bell 1792-1864 William Bennett (1790-1846) moved from Prince Edward County, VA to Sumner County, TN, and married Elizabeth Bell in 1814. They became Mormon converts, first moved to ShelbyviUe, IL, and then across the plains. William died in Iowa, but his widow [she appeared to have remarried, Mccauslin is shown on Utah Burial Index] and the family continued the trip and settled in Provo, UT. Descendants and relatives of the first Bennett lived in Virginia, Tennessee, Illinois, Idaho and elsewhere.

8th Generation: Thomas Mcguire

Birth : 24 Feb 1816 Sumner, TN / Death : 24 Feb 1894 Franklin, ID Marriage: 9 Nov 1837 Margaret Wilson Birth : 4 May 1828 Bradford, TN / Death : 18 Apr 1906 Soda Springs, ID Marriage: Lucy Ann Susan Saxey

A Family History compiled by a descendent of John Bell Bennett, another brother to Thomas M, is on file at tne LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Unfortunately it only notes the relationship and it erroneously indicated that Thomas' adopted daughter Elizabeth Edwards died in the late 1850's. After finding this resource, contact was made with a woman who is apparently descended from a marriage between an offspring ofthe brother of Thomas M. Bennett listed above and a younger son of James Robertson Sharp, brother to the Joseph Smith Sharp in the Kartchner Une. It would be Joseph's son, James Irvin who would eventually marry Melissa Elizabeth Ellsworth, daughter of Elizabeth Edwards Ellsworth. As noted, both Elizabeth Rachel Edwards and Melissa Elizabeth Ellsworth were fostered to majority by Thomas and Margaret Bennett. The Bennett family is linked to the greater Kartchner-Sharp-Ellsworth family in two important, though separate and different ways. The life sketch for Melissa described how she helped care for "Grandma" Bennett - well into her own marriage to James Irvin Sharp. A continued connection confirmed by the memories of LuRea E. Sharp Kartchner, who would have been 10-11 years of age at the time of Margaret Bennett's death in 1907.

For those individuals that passed after the turn of the 20th Century, their health factors have been discovered on the Death Certificates filed in the county and/or state of residence at the time of their death. As noted in the individual Family Sheets, these certificates can represent a "wealth" of Information about their life - including - but not limited to - their occupation, education, etc. The information about those who passed before - have been derived or submissed from Personal Journals and other early forms of "health" records, such as Sexton Records. Many of the health factors noted were no doubt complicated or exacerbated by the stress and living conidtions of a "Pioneer*. Inadiquate food and clean water supplies and the primative food preservation methods of the time endangered them as did the lack of proper protection from the elements and disease.

Wife of Christopher Kartchner. Buried in the same cemetery as her son John C. and several of her grandchildren from her son John Christopher and her two daughters. Wife of James R. Sharp. Buried with second husband James Dwiggins...listed as Dwiggins, Martha Possibly listed as Edwards, Esaus. A 2004 visit to his grave revealed that a new headstone had been installed. She remarried after arriving [26 September 1872] in Salt Lake City to George A. Clissold sometime before the 1880 US Census. It has been recorded that Elizabeth was buried in Whitley, ID - after reevaluating the infbrmation in'The Trail Blazer", it may be that she was buried on either the land being developed by her husband or that of the Bennetts rather in a formal cemetery. This seems to be confirmed by the many letters written to the various cemeteries in Franklin County. A 2005 visit to his grave revealed that a new headstone had been installed - with a smaill brass plate noting he was amongst the first pioneers to enter the Salt Lake Valley. [The new stone may have been paid for and arranged in conjunction with the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the arrival of the Mormon Pionners] Wife of German Ellsworth. Buried with second husband Philo Johnson...listed as Johnson, Speda B. Buried in "unmarked grave" in 'Lot 64 Section 2 lower position'...dates of death and burial listed as. unknown. The original owner was listed as Peter W. Wallover [his wife's cousin] who was buried in Section 1 Lower in 1871.

Elizabeth Gale Kartchner is interned at the same cemetery - in plot at the foot of her husband, William D and his first wife [Margaret Jane Casteel] are interned within a joint grave. During the mid 1980*5, family for both of his family collected funds to replace their original stone with a more elaborate marker [possibly to match the "grandeur" of Elizabeth's stone.] James Robertson Sharp died early in the development of Davis County. Consulted the Sextons for the County and the cities of Farmington and Kaysville and advised [by all] that none of them have a record of his burial, the City Clerk of Kaysvile advised that at that time, the dead may have been interned on family property. It appears as if James R. died before he acquired any land. It is possible that he was interned on the property of an unspecified relative or family friend. Thus the notation [for the present] "Lost to Time" Buried next to parents. Married three times. Frank C Welsh, A. Herman Munz and William D. Charies.

Kartchner
The five surviving children of Christopher John and Prudence Wilcox Kartchner Peter W. Kartchner/Ketchner Margaret Kartchner Webb/Purvis John Christopher Kartchner William Decatur Kartchner Sarah Ann Kartchner Pigg

Tracking the activities and movements across the country of the last three
individuals was far easier than that of Peter and Margaret. William's history was documented in his autobiography that he began near the end of his life, supplemented by some scholarship on the Mormon Colonization efforts. John Christopher and Sarah Ann both settled in the same community in Jasper County, Iowa and items were found in the various records of the period and John Christopher was included in biographies of prominent farmers/citizens of Jasper County, Iowa.

With the benefits of the World Wide Web and the vast holdings of the Family
History Library of the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, it was possible to gather more infomartion as to the movements of all five than it was when Sarah P. Collinsworth completed the Kartchner Blue Book - which served as an excellant platform from which to dig deeper into the Kartchner Family.

Paper tfrails of the Children Christopher 3ohn and Prudence Wilcox Kartchner
When Sarah Collinsworth assembled the "Kartchner Blue Book" she relied on phone contacts, postal inquiries and the wear of much shoe leather. Sarah did an excellent job and her effort served as a good platform from which to dig deeper in the great Kartchner family. Her sister, Lois Palmer, later supplemented the Blue Book with additional research on Christopher John and the Wilcox family. Offering even more clues and/or confirmation to the genealogy of the Kartchner Line. Jes Sarah noted in her effort, she was only able to contact a few of the descendants of William Decatur Kartchner's siblings. Sadly, as she noted, she was not able to find an informant for either Peter W. Kartchner/Ketchner or Margaret Kartchner Webb/Purvis. In addition, her contact for John Christopher Kartchner and Sarah Ann Kartchner/Pigg seems to have been the same person. Some information that she provided has proven to be less than accurate. Dearly 30 years later, Genealogy benefits from the Personal Computer and the fruits of the Information Revolution - ' T H f _ I X I T & _ ^ M E _ _ T ' . The World Wide Web conveyed more discoveries about Christopher John and Prudence Wilcox Kartchner and their children. I began this research using the "respectable" genealogy collection in the Seattle Public Library System. These early discoveries were enhanced by the massive and ever-growing collections of the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City. This library provided access to infbrmation about other times, families and places that would have only been available with a physical visit to many other cities and states. Ropefulty whatfollows,will help others to continue the search. One day, perhaps, some richer illustrations of Second and Third Generations of the Kartchner Family will be possible,

Family Kartchner
- of Germanic origin - presented a greater challenge due to the many variations in how the name was written since its introduction into the American landscape. Below is a sampling of the variants discovered:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Karchner Kaercher Kasner Kerchner Kershner Kirchner Kirkner Kuchner Kurschner Castner Cockner Curtner Karshner Karschner Kassner Kercher Kerkenaar Kirchener Kierschner Kurcher Carsner Cerchner Cosner Karcher Kartsher Kauchner Kersher Kertner Kirtchner Kirschner Kurchner Gartner Orchner Coshner Kaerchner Karriger Kautner Kerchner Ketchner Kircher Kirshner Kuerschner Casner Cochner Cotner 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

If from the German word kirche, the name is thus an occupation derived name relating to a person who worked at a church. The most logical English translation of the closest occupation relating to our name would be a "sexton." The original form was probably Adam der Kirchner, meaning Adam the church worker. The definite article 'der' in the name eventually was dropped. The name became Kirchner - first found in Silesia, where the family became noted for its many branches within the region. Variations may have begun as immigration officers or the clerks of various municipalities or census takers asked an immigrant's name, The response was, most often, oral. A common theory is that the officials would often convert the oral response phonetically into an English equivalent. A mutation of vowels was common. Specifically - the 'i' tended to interchangeably with an 'e' , [beginning in Germany / Europe] with the substitution of "a" for either upon arrival in America.

The family name being associated with churches correlates well with the lifestyle of the early Kirchners/Kartchners. They were, as were many early immigrants who came to Pennsylvania, religious people. You will find several elders, deacons, and trustees of churches among our ancestors.

The history of Family Kartchner is well documented in the Kartchner Family Book compiled by Sarah P. Collinworth during the 1960's and 1970's. At that time, several members of the extended family tried to confinn the clues left by WiUiam Decatur Kartchner. Long before the flood of information that hit the Internet, these individuals visited many locations noted in his biography. Their efforts included trips to the Palatine area of Germany. All in search of the beginning of the Kartchner line and those of the Family Wilcox and Family Walton in his mother's pedigree. There will be no attempt to surpass the offering of those efforts. Clues from taken to clarify certain assumptions held unchecked by the family genealogy. To hopefully present a better picture of the events and actions recorded in our family memory.

Beginning the Trek to America

A family or individual made the trip to the Americas, prompted by the desires of the British Monarchy. The British Crown, with a controllable population of industrious people, thought it could bolster It's colonies from the threats of England's enemies. Specifically, the attempts of France and Spain to either expand their New World holdings or undermine the British. Travel on the Rhine was the only practical way to get to Rotterdam on the North Sea. There was no established road system for transporting heavytoadsthrough the various principalities dotting the countryside along the way to the large Dutch seaports. River travel, however, was not inexpensive. As many asfortytoll-stations located along the Rhine extracted fees from travelers and captains before their barges could pass certain stretches of the river. Many delays along the way intentionally forced travelers to stay overnight and shell out their money. The trip down the Rhine could last four, five and even six weeks. Contemporary accounts of the cost of passage, from Rotterdam to Philadelphia, in mid 18th century showed the fares were sixty florins per person. With fares for children, five to ten years old, reduced by half. Passengers allowed aboard after [merely] signing a contract to pay their fares within a designated time after arrival. This redemption system had proven satisfactory for all. Passengers made payment in cash, from the proceeds of the sale of goods brought along for that purpose, or it was paid by relatives and friends already in America. Another means of payment, becoming increasingly common, by parties, to whom they indentured themselves to work off the cost of passage. Voyages to America could take an estimated eight to ten weeks. A ship left its mooring in Rotterdam to be either late summer. Clearing the channels of the Rhine delta, the Ship Master would have maneuvered his crowded sailing vessel across the choppy tides of the English Channel. This route took the immigrant through the Straits of Dover where they saw the famed white cliffs in England and the quite sandy shore of Calais in France. In Portsmouth, a large seaport in southern England, the British authorities checked the ship's manifest and gave official approval for ship to continue to the Colonies. Authorization to approach Portsmouth between the Isle of Wight and the mainland often delayed for larger ships. Ships retained by the Crown or more important ship companies. Often the immigrant ships were sent to tbe smaller port of Cowes on the island. The time for the channel crossing and the approval process in England could, much to the dismay of the passengers, take two weeks.

After leaving Portsmouth about midsummer, the treacherous and unpredictable Atlantic lay before them. These were the warmest months for crossing the ocean, and despite the risks it was the best season to transport immigrants. However, normal every year, this also is the season for hurricanes moving westward from thetowerlatitudes and ravaging the Atlantic shore of North America. Fortunately, despite the weather, most ships made the trip to Pennsylvania in less than eight weeks. The passengers were typically in very bad physical condition upon arrival. The captains had no resources to meet the needs of large numbers of people, and they gave little sympathy to complaining immigrants. Those traveling in family groups could care for each other, so they had the best chance to survive the journey. As noted earlier, shortly after arrival, British Crown required all adult males to take an Oath to remain in the America.

The Walton and Wilcox Families

William D Kartchner biography revealed the following: "About the year 1739, George, William and John Walton came to this country from England, arriving in Virginia in the early part of the year. Here they separated. George locating in Philadelphia, Penn. where he became a prominent lawyer and statesman. He was also a member of the First Continental Congress, which convened in Philadelphia, In the year 1774. William also located in Philadelphia and John, the youngest removed to Georgia where he had much to do with the political affairs of the state, being a member of the third Congress held in Philadelphia, PA." "But little is recorded of the heroic deeds of the Walton ancestors. During the struggles of the Americans with the Indians, in the Revolutionary war and contentions they lectured through the county in favor of Continental Rule. When that sacred document, the Declaration of Independence was written the Hon. George and William Walton were among the first who signed their names to it. They lectured in the neighboring towns encouraging the citizens to volunteer in the defense of constitutional rights and William Walton, M.D., did much valuable service for the county as physician and surgeon in comforting the sick and wounded of the American Army. William Walton had an interesting family. He resided in Philadelphia where his property soon became very valuable." Little was written about the Wilcox family, other than that Prudence's father, John Wilcox, was a successful paper merchant in Philadelphia. Facts confirmed by the 1790 US Census. The 1790 Census also showed a Head of Household for both John Wilcox and William Walton in Delaware County. The same county of Pennsylvania listed as the birthplace of Prudence Wilcox Kartchner, No record could befoundto support the claim that William Walton was "a wealthy doctor of Philadelphia, who gave aid to the American Armies during the Revolution". The standards of Colonial time were far more relaxed than the contemporary. So, if William Walton was a doctor, he could have been a "lay" doctor, who may have periodically gave aid to the American forces.

Research - The Walton Family

The WiUiam D. Kartchner accounts of his family indicate that his maternal grandfather was related to George Walton of Georgia, the only Walton to sign the Declaration of Independence. Research implies that George Walton was descended from the "Byberry Waltons". A family of seven brothers who immigrated to America from the Byberry province in England. The brothers would use the name of this province to identify their settlement in the growing colony of Pennsylvania. These brothers immigrated in two groups, the original four in 1699 and the last three brothers immigrated sometime after the turn of the 18th Century. George Walton is believed to be the son of Robert Walton, one of the later seven to immigrate. True or not the well-documented history of George Walton shows no brothers named William. At best, the William Walton in question, could have been a distant cousin. Based on the listing of several other individuals named William Walton in the expanded Walton pedigree and descendent. There is also the strongest possibly that this William Walton is descended from another branch of the Walton family. Possibly descended from a "John Walton" that was with William Penn when he first reached the colony that would bare his name. Despite the pedigree, the 1790 US Census revealed several "William" in Philadelphia County. There were several listed in the surrounding counties, including Delaware County the location of Prudence Wilcox's birth.

The First Kartchner in America

There is some dispute of the first member of this line to have immigrated to the American Colonies of the British Empire. Most of those presenting Genealogical evidence for the family have focused on the estimated period immigration from the remembrances of William Decatur Kartchner. In his later years, he dictated his biography, scribe by several of his children and grandchildren, he suggested "a boy of ten summers" came to Philadelphia about 1700.

Research - Immigration
There are several versions of William's biography in circulation and the year of arrival he offered has been changed at least three times, with 1750 being the most prevalent. Based on this year, an "Adam Kirchner" was discovered on the ship - Edinburgh, in 1748. He signed the Oath of British Allegiance upon landing in Philadelphia, suggesting an adult Kirchner. Examining several of the ship manifest's transcriptions of this period, only adult males [16 years old] were required to take the Oath. This would make this Kirchner too old to fit into the recollection offered by William. Several individuals with similar surnames immigrated to the Americas during the period between 1700 and 1750. Research suggests that it be just as probable that the Kartchner line began with the arrival of Andreas and Agnesia Kirchner on the ship - Dragon, in 1749. They arrived with one son, Daniel, and a second son, Johann Jacob Kirchner born in Philadelphia in 1750. Naming of children at this time, the practice was to include a part of the father's name with that of the child. This Johann Jacob, would have been of age to give birth to Christoph Johann Kartchner 7 AUG 1788. Of course, without the discovery of more records from this period, the true name and date may remain an eternal mystery.

Little is really known about the first Kartchner to live in the America. The William D. Kartchner [WDK] biography only showed that Christoph Johann Kartchner's father married a nice German young woman and lived quietly in Philadelphia. It is not clear if there were other children, but there is a suggestion that another son, named Adam, was bom after Christoph.

John Christopher Kartchner

The WDK biography described Christoph as an adventurous boy, who seem to grow into a rogue of a man. He apprenticed as a paper maker, later to operate a paper mill with his wife's cousin, William Wolliver. Later in the WDK biography, Christoph is described as an infidel, tempted to drink. Somewhere along the way, his name was "Americanized" to Christopher John - as he will be referred from now on. He was called to the Pennsylvania Militia during the winter of 1814-15 [records suggest that he preferred Christopher to John]. The WDK biography recounts a glorious adventure for his five-month enlistment,

participation in the campaigns of General Andrew Jackson to protect New Orleans in January 1815. Research reveals a different story: 1 2 3 No Pennsylvania regiments served at the Battle of New Orleans. Unless they were members of the US Regulars (7th US Infantry and 44th US Infantry, 1st US Dragoons, US Marines, US Lt. Artillery). The Battle of New Orleans wasfoughton January 8,1815. And the National Archives show that John Christopher Kartchner mustered out and paid for service at discharge on January 2,1815. The National Archives confirmed that Christopher John Kartchner was part of the Roxburough Militia organized and placed under a Colonel Thompson. Colonel Thompson'sforceswere at Camp at Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania.

Research - WAR of 1812

On the 18th of August 1814, the city of Washington fell before the British Army of General Ross, when Cockburn, another British Commander, torched the unfinished Capitol, the library of Congress, the President's house, and other public buildings. With the threatening aspects which arose from the destruction of Washington, the Pennsylvania Governor deemed it necessary to have a sufficient force "of freemen" ready for every emergency, and therefore required that the militia from the counties of Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Lancaster, Dauphin, Lebanon, Berks, Schuylkill, Lehigh, Northampton, and Pike, in addition to those drafted for the service of the United States, under orders of July 22nd, "be held in readiness to march at a moment's warning." On the 10th of September, about six thousand volunteers [with enlistments of three months], selected their own company officers, organized in battalions and regiments arrived in Philadelphia and many others were on the march to that city - to encamp for a period of four months, at Marcus Hook. None of these Pennsylvania militia companies participated in a military engagement; rather they were deployedforthe possible defense of Philadelphia and the Delaware River.

John Christopher life after the War of 1812 seemed to have been without focus. The paper mill he owned went out of business. Then he went from job to job trying to eam enough to take care of his wife [Prudence Wilcox] and his children. Despite a desire to move west to Ohio, he would spend the last 10 years of his life in Montgomery County, dying 2 April 1826. His early death left his wife with five children to supply for and, as was common, she apprenticed her young sons to lighten her responsibilities. The 1830 US Census showed that her household consisted of herself and two daughters. One daughter over sixteen and one daughter under sixteen was counted. [The index of the 1830 Census will add another name variant to the list on ii, transcribing the sumame as - 'Kartchnfir'].

William Decatur Kartchner

The search through the various Census Indexes and other documents of the years of WDK' life, at least additional sumame variants were discovered. Each of these new variants can be added to the list on page 2, From the 1850 Census for Utah Territory, the sumame was transcribed - 'Kackbuer*, followed by a question mark - affirming that the transcriber was not certain. The second misread is found in the 1870 Census for the Nevada Territory: The actual record reads "Ketchner". William and his second wife [Elizabeth] would be indexed, transcribed as 'Kartchlane'. On a side note, the misread of the 1860 Census for Utah Territory produced a transcription of William's first name and middle initial as 'Wan B.'.

Other surname variants, discovered in both the William Decatur Kartchner biography and a newspaper obituaries for several of his children and for him, the sumame printed, 'Kartchmer* and 'Keartchner'. This second variant most likely was due to the cursive handwriting style of the time. Apparently from a female hand, several entries in his biography have the capital of the letter "K" scribed with a decorative loop on the final stroke of the letter. A early article about the Pueblo Colony established by the Mississippi Saints which was in The Colorado Magazine (July 1932) refers to him as "Wm Hutchner". Concerning his own birth, William biography revealed the following: "Another son was born, 4 May 1820 at Hartfordtown, Montgomery Co., Penn."

Research - William's Birth

Haverford or Haverfordtown in Montgomery County, PA is listed as his place of birth. But studies of maps of the Montgomery and Delaware Counties clearly indicate that the only Haverford in Pennsylvania is in Delaware County, situated very near the common border that each county shares

The migration of the family begins here, and from here the primary focus will be on the lineage of William D. second marriage to Elizabeth Gale and their family.

As noted, much of this has been pretty well documented by other members of the extended family and summarized in the Kartchner Familv Boole compiled by Sarah Collinworth. From this standpoint, onry one mystery remains: "Why did Aaron Kartchner break away from the family [after the death of William Decatur in 1892]? With the intention to expatriation to Canada, rather than remain in Arizona. Why did he choose to north instead of south to of reform from the Federal government?"
SM

too - as some Kartchners had done, escaping the pressures

An Interesting Sidenote:
In 1833, William recalls that his mother witnessed the following [first] observations of a unique astronomical event: "In 1833, one night my mother happened to be up in the night and said the stars were falling from the heaven and she woke the older members of the family. She was not excited but many of the citizens were upon their knees praying and thought the world was at an end."

Research - The Leonids and the Birth of Meteor Astronomy

The night of November 12-13, 1833, not only marks the discovery of the Leonid meteor shower, but sparked the actual birth of meteor astronomy. During the hours foltowing sunset on November 12, some astronomers noted an unusual number of meteors in the sky, but it was the early moming hours of the Uth that left the greatest impression on the people of eastern North America. During the 4 hours which preceded dawn, the skies were lit up by Reactions to the 1833 display are varied from the hysterics of the superstitious claiming Judgement Day was at hand, to the just plain excitement of the scientific, who estimated that a thousand meteors a minute emanated from the region of Leo. Newspapers of the time reveal that almost no one was left unaware of the spectacle, for if they were not awakened by the cries of excited neighbors, they were usually awakened by flashes of light cast into normally dark bedrooms by the fireballs. At the time of the 1833 display, the true nature of meteors were not known for certain, but theories were abundant in the days and weeks which followed. The Charleston Courier published a story on how the sun caused gases to be released from plants recently killed by frost. These gases, the most abundant of which was believed to be hydrogen, "became ignited by electricity or phosphoric particles in the air." l h e United States Telegraph of Washington, DC, stated, "The strong southern wind of yesterday may have brought a body of electrified air, which, by the coldness of the moming, was caused to discharge its contents towards the earth."

Peter's family has been found listed under various spellings of the family name : "Katchner" "Kirtchner", "Kaertchner" and "Ketchner" The one individual posting information about him on the Internet reports that the evolution of the name was a conscience choice on the part of Peter to make it sound less "GERMANIC". It is just as likely that it evolved over the years with the mistaken transcriptions of the verbal sounding of the name.

Again it is not clearly recorded where he died, but it does appear that it was in the state of Iowa, possibly in Louisa County. The available Cemetery Records for both Louisa and Jasper counties [included in search, due to the fact that both his brother and sisters settled there] have been reviewed and not record of his burial could be found. 4. His children were traced a little more extensively than those of other children of Christopher John with the intent of further research in the future.

No first name for this husband can be found in any of the published works or on the many family trees posted to the Internet. It is not clear as to when any of her husbands died. 2.

John C. Kartchner
[Jasper County, Iowa Historical and Genealogical Data Exchange] The life record of John C. Kartchner, a venerable farmer and honored pioneer of Poweshiek Township, Jasper County, demonstrates that the road to positions of influence among men, whatever the relation of life may be, is open to all who may possess the courage to tread Its pathway, besides serving as an incentive to the young of the present generation, teaching by incontrovertible facts that true excellence in any worthy undertaking is ambition's legitimate answer. His long and useful life was crowned with much good to himself, his family and his neighbors and the community at large, for he was industrious, honest, broad-minded and kind-hearted, and in the golden evening of his years he could look backward over a well-spent career and forward with no apprehension. Mr. Kartchner was born November 14, 1816, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, the son of Christopher and Prudence (Wilcox) Kartchner, and there he grew to maturity and attended the oldtime schools in the brief winter months, assisting his father during the balance of the year, remaining under his parentalroof-treeuntil he was nine years of age. In 1835 he came to Perry County, Illinois, when that country was new, and there he engaged in farming, also worked in a carriage shop, making springs and became a very proficient workman.

[ J o h n C h r i s t o p h e r Kartchner]

Mr. Kartchner was married in 1846 to Nancy Ash, daughter of Hiram and Susan (Clingman) Ash, who moved from Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, to Illinois in pioneer days, when the subject's wife was fourteen years of age. Mr. Kartchner came to Jasper County, Iowa, in 1846 and began life in typical pioneer fashion, undergoing the usual hardships and privations, but, nothing daunted, he remained and took part in the work of transformation of the wild prairies to fertile farms. He and his wife lived continuously on the same farm from 1846 until their deaths. He died on the 20th of June 1911, and his wife died October 1, 1911. Their residence here thus covered a period of sixty-five years, a remarkable fact. During this time they became well known throughout this part of the County. They had worked hard and in their declining years they had plenty and, what is more to be desired, the good will and friendship of all who knew them, for their lives had been exemplary in every respect and they had been of great service to the community. Thefollowingchildren were bom to Mr. and Mrs. Kartchner: Susannah married Joseph Scott and they are both deceased: Diadama married John Collins and they live in Poweshiek Township; William Henry died when fifteen years of age; Elizabeth Prudence is at home on the old homestead; Frank Marion died in 1900, when forty-one years of age; he was never married; Christopher Columbus, who is yet single, is living in Poweshiek Township; Nathan Oliver is single and living on the old homestead, having bought the same. John Wesley married Leaty Woodbury and is living on a farm near Colfax. John C. Kartchner and his wife were both invalids, but their children took a delight in administering to their every want and they spent their last years serenely, he being in his ninety-fifth year at time of death and she was eighty-seven years old on September 24,1911.

[Allen Foot writes to us from Snowflake under date of May 30th, as follows:]

Another of the veterans of our Church passed away at this place on the 14th ult., namely, William Decatur Kartchner. Deceased was the son of John C. Kartchner, and Prudence Wilcox, was bom at Hartford, Montgomery Co., Penn., May 4th, 1820, and baptized May 8th, 1843, having heard the Gospel the previous day for the first time. He was married to Margaret Jane Casteel in March, 1844, passed through all the mobbings and persecutions at Nauvoo, standing guard greater part of the time during a six weeks' rain, and was stricken down with rheumatism. He could not move hand nor foot at the time of the martyrdom. He was called to go with the famous "Emimetts' Company," and through the operations of those in charge, was reduced, with many others, to distressing circumstances. It was only by a desperate effort mat he and his wife were enabled to get away from the company, and work their way back to St. Louis. Hete Brother Kartchner was well treated by his brother John, although not in sympathy in religious matters.

[William Decatur Kartchner]

In the spring of 1846 Brother William and wife joined a company of Saints who were preparing to go to the Rocky Mountains, preferring the hardships and dangers of such a trip to remaining among a people who had abused him and his fellow Saints. This company was in charge of Captain William Crosby, and arrived in Salt Lake Valley Jury 28th, 1847-one year and three months from the time of leaving the State. Brother Kartchner, who was a blacksmith by trade, faithfully assisted as a pioneer in the settlement of new places in Utah and Arizona. He had been quite feeble in body and mind for the last ten years, having almost entirety lost his sight. He always bore a strong and faithful testimony to the truth of the great latter-day worlcand was a true and consistent Latter-day Saint. His first wife died ten years ago. He leaves seventeen children and forty-three grandchildren to mourn his loss. The deceased was highly respected by all who knew him. [Sources: Deseret News...from the files of Micheal A.

Kartchner, wife and child were among the second body of this Company to reach the Salt Lake City on July 29. This portion of the company, along with a troop of the Mormon Battalion, were the second assembly to enter the Pioneer camp. {For some reason, the LDS Historical Ubrary at BYU does not fully acknowledge the arrival of this company into the Salt Lake Valley} 2. 1850 Census - William D was born in May 1820, even though this census was for 1850 all ages noted above are for 1851. In addition, early transcriptions of the original pages mislists William D, as "Kackbuer" with a ?, suggesting the the transcriber was not certain of this entry. 3.1860 Census - Several oddities appear in this census as well as the various transcriptions. A copy of the original page, William appears to be 'Wan B."; Margaret shown as bom in Pennsylvania; Sarah E, age 13 or 18 - It appears as "Mex" noted as birthplace. In an early transcription, Sarah birtplace is listed as "Ark". Alzada is transcribed as Abrigail. Marinda was misspelled as Miranda is listed as "Amma", perhaps this was a nickname or [maybe] the transcriber misunderstood "M.M." for "Amma". A later transcription has the Census Place as "Millard County", the county structures in this part of the Utah Territory were evolving, Beaver was correct in 1860 and is presently correct. Refer to "Location" sheet at the end of this report for clarificatiion.
[William Decatur Kartchner]

4.1870 Census - This census showed William Decatur birthplace to be Tenn; John 81 Mark in Cal. A early transcription has him listed as "Kartchlane" - another as "Kartchland". The listing for Elizabeth Gale Kartchner reflect the similar error and she is listed as being a household of " 1 "

5. William and Margaret are noted for giving birth to the first white child in the territory/state that would be Colorado, Sarah Emma - born In route to Utah. The State of Colorado would later acknowledge this importance by awarding Sarah a Gold medallion. 6. William was listed on the namemark celebrating the Mormon Families deployed to the San Bemadino Colony. He was also appointed the First Postmaster for the Snow Flake colony In Arizona and was apparently appointed similarly to areas of Iron County, Utah. 7. The Census Indexes showed him as either farmer or blacksmith, but his joumal entries describes a man that spend as much time on Church affairs as he did as either of the above.

Comments: 1. Thomas' Pedigree: Only one "PIGG" family was listed in the 1820 Virginia Census... M33-131 Page: 162 Pigg, William VA PRINCE EDWARD NO TWP LISTED with a count of 15 individuals in the household. This contradicts the "Kartchner Blue Book" which noted that his father's name was George. Needs further investigation. 2. Reuben N listed on the 1870 census and in Sarah's 1907 Obiturary as a grandson Reuben N Reese. In reviewing the available infbrmation for the marriages of her children, a "Reese" could not be found. Her sister's [Margaret Webb] had a daughter [Sarah Ann] who gave birth to several children with her first husband, Daniel Rees. But the name Reuben was not among them either. It could be that the name would be mere coinstance, and Reuben was a child taken in by Thomas and Sarah Pigg sometime before the 1870 Census.

Now, I will present some basic information about the producer of this effort. Bom in Salt Lake City, I was raised and benefitedfromthe school systems of the Lakewood area of Los Angeles County, in Southem Califomia. I attended several post secondary schools in both Los Angeles and Orange County, eventually granted a Bachelors of Art degree by Califomia State University at Fullerton. I lived in Southem Califomia from about 1957 until 1983. Late in 1982,1 opted to move from that area of the country due to my growing dissatisfaction. A distaste for the "perceived" direction of growth the area had experienced. Several years before, I had become enchanted with the state of Washington. I wanted to move there, but that turned out to be a "wish" for another time. In the spring of 1983,1 retumed to Salt Lake City - where my grandmother and older brother still lived. I would retum to the University setting and work toward the completion of my Masters at the "UM. I spend the last year and nine months of those five years in Utah - trying to get out of Utah. Due to the following two factors: an announcement from the University that new Master's candidates would not be accepted for a period and the "dream" of the Pacific Northwest resurfaced. By September of 1986, everything I needed to make the move to Seattle fell into place and I took that plunge. In Seattle for nearly twenty years, I renew my interest in history. I would become enthralled with train travel and would take train trips as often as time and finances would allow. The bubble burst during the spring of 2002, when my employer for many years decided to cut costs and phased out my position. I held on in Seattle for another year or so, trying to find a position to support my meager lifestyle. By July 2004, the time came to leave Washington to a place that would offer opportunities and a "cheaper" cost of living. So, reluctantly, I came back to Utah. It was during my unemployment, I started - in eamest - to research my ancestry. To my surprise, the Seattle Public Library has a very impressive Genealogy Section - allowing me a strong foothold in understanding from whom I had descended. My retum to Salt Lake City and the wealth of information in the Family History Library allowed me to enhance most of the understanding and knowledge birthed in Seattle. As every family researcher quickly realizes, the search can go on forever - but it comes a time to say, "STOP" and publish something to represent the effort. This is the second version of my effort, the first assembled in the Pacific Northwest For most in my family line, I have found out something new - and for a few, virtually nothing. If someone, in thirty, forty, fifty years or so, should go looking for me - it is hard to say where I might be found. I will probability be in the 1960 and 1970 Censuses. However, I do not recalled being call to respond to the Censuses of 1980, 1990 or 2000. Except maybe once in Seattle, as with most common area directories, my phone number and address was always unlisted. And I do not remember any contact with the "Polk Directory" people. Much of time, I had most of my mail delivered to a P.O. Box. School records will no doubt be a source of something. If you look very hard, a dozen or so "Letters to the Editor" were submitted to a Long Beach newspaper - some political, some not. There might be some evidence of me in the political process in Califomia after reaching majority. I campaigned for several Republican candidates - however, which came to a "screeching" stop when Reagan was elected to the Presidency for the first time (too long of a story to reveal here). Gary L.
