| 1111 | Calpurna BURTON was born [on 29 August, 1900], in the little town of Afton, Wyoming. There she received her schooling through high school. She also received her religious training in her home and in the ward. Her father was in the Stake Presidency for 27 years. During that time, many of the General Authorities of the Church spent time in her father's home when they came for quarterly conferences. It was in her father's home that Hyrum G. Smith, Patriarch of the Church gave her her patriarchal blessing. These visitors made a profound impression on her. She attended summer school in the summer of 1913, in Laramie, Wyoming, and filled her first teaching contract when she was eighteen years old. She married Lyman Wilford Fluckiger on June 5, 1924,[ in the Salt Lake Temple, Utah.] They had four children, three sons, and one daughter. [Hubert Burton Fluckiger, 29 Mar 1925, Afton, Lincoln, WY; Don Burton Fluckiger on 17 Feb, 1927, Afton; Louise Fluckiger, 27 Mar 1929, Afton; and Lyman Burton Fluckiger, 27 May, 1930, also Afton, Lincoln, WY.] When Hubert enlisted in the Navy, Calpurna went back to teaching. She taught school in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada. She taught a total of twenty-eight years in the grade schools. Calpurna received her B.S. Degree from the Branch Ag. College at Cedar City, in the spring of 1954. Calpurna has served as Counselor in the Primary, Mutual, and Relief Society. She had nearly always had a teaching job in one of the auxiliaries of the Church. When Lyman and Calpurna returned from their mission to Georgia in the Southern States, they again took up their work as officiators in the St. George Temple. Calpurna had the privilege of taking her granddaughter, Joyce Stirling, through the initiatory ordinances at the time of Joyce's marriage to Don Brotherton, December 28, 1972. Many of Lyman and Calpurna's Star Valley friends came for the winter to do Temple work and live in the Temple apartments in St. George, Utah. Calpurna writes, at the time, "It is good to have our daughter, Louise Stirling, and her family living near us here in Leeds. We enjoy our home. We love our fireplace and our gardens. Now in November, 1973, our roses are prettier than they have been all summer and the mums and marigolds and zennias are in full bloom. We are happy that our fruit jars are all full. We had a wonderful fruit crop here in Utah's Dixie. We farm our acres near our home: we have 3 calves, 14 sheep, 6 hens, and 2 porkers getting fat. As our grandchildren get married, we have had several new grandchildren in-laws added to our family. We find ourselves promoted to the status of great grandparents with three little great granddaughters joining our family. Our family is growing. We are proud and pleased with them all." [this life history was taken from the book, "The Family of William Wilkinson DIXON and Sabra LAKE Dixon (these are Calpurna's maternal great grandparents), compiled by Robert Boyd Jackson, 1983)] ------------------ Writings in Sept. 1993--Calpurna's earliest recollection, of her life, extends back to infancy, when she tried to give away her baby sister, Helen, to a lady visiting the family. Calpurna got Helen's hood and coat, then cried when Mrs. Bruce didn't take Helen; [ I must have been jealous of her]. Years later, when Aunt Sarah said she was taking Elsa Mae home, Calpurna set up such a wail as to put a coyote to shame. Oct, 1933 - Dixon [Arthur Dixon, Calpurna's older brother] was the only boy in the family for 19 years. Since the family always had some large freight horses and several cows, Mama didn't like to have him go about his work alone, so Calpurna was always sent to be with him. | Burton, Calpurna (I93117)

| 1115 | Came to Utah Oct. 13, 1848 located in South Cottonwood Salt Lake County. Came to Utah with the Amasa M. Lyman in Homer Dunca's "Ten" of Joseph Mathews "Fifty" JOSEPH SMITH TANNER was 25 years old when he returned from California and settled in Payson in 1858. At this time he had the distinction of helping to accompany Colonel Thomas L. Kane from California to Utah. Colonel Kane "had been appointed by President Buchanan to mediate between the Federal Government (Johnston's Army) and the Mormons." Joseph relates, "Ebenezer Hanks, representing the church, furnished a buggy and I furnished part of the team. (He gives a day-by-day account of the journey; they had to travel slowly because of Col. Kane's poor health). The party reached Parowan on the 20th of February, 1858, where new teams were furnished." Joseph did not accompany Kane the rest of the way to Salt Lake, but returned to the Tanner family's wagons which were on the Santa Clara, and they continued on to Payson where they arrived March 8, 1858. He married Elizabeth Haws in 1860 and they had 13 children. He was called to the Muddy Mission, to start a settlement on the Muddy River in 1868, and after two years he returned to Payson. After his wife's untimely death he married Janette Hamilton in 1882, and this couple had 12 children. Also he married in plural marriage in 1885, to Ellen Elizabeth Fogelstrand, and she had six children, for a total of 31 children, all born in Payson. He had the most children of any of the Tanners. His oldest child, Mary Elizabeth Tanner, born in 1860, was forty five years older than his youngest child, Sterling Elmer Tanner, born in 1905. In his reminiscences he wrote that he was able to rejoice that his children "thus far are all in the Church," and he had a good conscience because he had "discharged the duty resting on me towards my older children as a father in preparing them to meet the trials of life; four of my sons having filled missions (thus far)." Joseph S. Tanner was a successful farmer and dairyman, a large and powerful man who was highly regarded in Payson. He served as a member of the city council, and as mayor from 1879 to 1883. He was also on the boards of the Cooperative Dairy, Provo Woolen Mills, Cooperative Meat Market, and the Payson Bank. He was a bishop for twenty years, first in Payson, and then later he was also bishop over the whole district including Santaquin, Spring Lake, Salem, and Benjamin. It is said that "Joseph Tanner's home was the public stopping place for thousands who were traveling in those days from north to south over the territory." | Tanner, Joseph Smith (I60256)

| 1122 | Captured during Queen Anne's War by a French and Indian force under the command of Jean-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville, This attack is known as the "Deerfield Massacre". Martin Kellogg and four children (Martin Jr, Joseph, Joanna, and Rebecca) were captured and forced to march 300 miles to Kahnawake near Montreal, Canada. It was a months-long trek and many died along the way; some were killed because they could not keep up. Martin was redeemed and allowed to return home after a couple of years. Later, three of his children were ransomed and allowed to return. Martin was born on November 22, 1658 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts. He was the son of Joseph and Joanna Foote Kellogg. He moved with his family to Hadley, Hampshire, Massachusetts when he was very young. He married Anna Hinsdale on December 10, 1684, probably in Hatfield, Hampshire. Martin and Anna had two children, born in Hadley, but Anna died five days after the birth of the second, a daughter named after her mother. Martin soon married again, on February 27, 1691, in Deerfield, Franklin, Massachusetts, Sarah Dickenson, widow of Samuel Lane. Martin and Sarah had four children, born in Deerfield. On February 29, 1704, during Queen Anne's War, a French and Indian force under the command of Jean-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville, consisting of 47 Canadiens and 200 Abenaki, Kanienkehaka (Mohawk), and Wyandot, as well as a few Pocumtuck attacked Deerfield, burning most of the town, killing 56 colonists, including 22 men, 9 women, and 25 children. They took 112 captives that included women and children. Martin Kellogg and four children (Martin Jr, Joseph, Joanna, and Rebecca) were captured and forced to march 300 miles to Kahnawake near Montreal, Canada. It was a months-long trek and many died along the way; some were killed because they could not keep up. During the raid, Sarah Dickinson Kellogg hid in the cellar with her youngest son Jonathan (1698 - 1704). The Indians heard the youngest child crying, found and killed him, then set fire to the house. Sarah escaped with her step-daughter Anna Kellogg (1689 - 1781). This attack is known as the "Deerfield Massacre". Martin was redeemed and allowed to return home after a couple of years. Later, three of his children were ransomed and allowed to return. His daughter Joanna, who was eleven at the time of the attack, chose to stay in Canada and marry there. Martin and Sarah relocated to Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut, where Sarah died in 1722.

| 1128 | CAUTION: DO NOT MIX AGAIN WITH OTHER DIFFERENT PEOPLE named ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Child of John Lincoln and Rebecca Flowers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln_(captain) He and spouse Bathsheba Herring had 5 Children. See in link attached. Previous submitter wrote: Abraham was shot and killed by Indians. John Harrison, in his 1935 book titled "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail: Some Pioneers to Old Augusta County" states on page 285 that early biographers who said that Abraham first married a Mary Shipley were wrong. He states that later investigators are agreed that there was only the one wife, Bathsheba Herring. The following from, Find A Grave. Abraham's father's family settled in Pennsylvania and Abraham was born in Berks County, the first of 9 children. Abraham became a tanner, perhaps because of a family relationship with James Boone, a well-regarded tanner who lived nearby. James was an uncle of Daniel Boone and his daughter was married to Abraham's father's half-brother. Much of the Lincoln clan moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia when Abraham's father purchased a large tract of land there in 1768. Abraham received a portion of the land, married and began having children. When the American Revolution broke out, Abraham became involved with the local militia. He served as a captain of the Augusta County militia first and later with the Rockingham County militia when that county was established in 1778. Lincoln's unit was called into service under the Western Department of the Continental Army when Brigadier General Lachlan McIntosh of Georgia was in command there. McIntosh had recently been involved in the killing of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia and a political rival of McIntosh, when the two fought a duel over various accusations. George Washington valued McIntosh's contributions to the war and feared that McIntosh might be killed or imprisoned by Gwinnett's supporters, so he had him transferred to the northwest. The Western Department was headquartered at Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh) and was responsible for guarding the backcountry from British invasion from Fort Detroit. McIntosh devised a plan to attack Detroit that involved the building of two new forts to aid in the attack, Fort Laurens on the Tuscarawas River in Ohio and Fort McIntosh at the convergence of the Ohio and Beaver Rivers in Pennsylvania. Abraham Lincoln's Rockingham militia unit was called into service to help build the two forts during the latter part of 1778. In 1780, Abraham Lincoln moved his family to Jefferson County, Kentucky (then part of Virginia), and settled near Hughes' Station east of Louisville (a station was like a small fort near which settlers would live for protection). Lincoln began purchasing land and eventually owned 2,000 acres. Unfortunately, the area was still contested by Indians and Lincoln had numerous "visits" from local Indians who wanted him off their hunting grounds. In 1786, Lincoln was working on the farm with his three sons when he was shot from the forest and killed. The oldest son, Mordecai, who was 15 or 16, quickly ran to the cabin to get a gun, while the next son, Josiah, 13, ran off to Hughes' Station for help. The youngest son, Thomas, who was only 8 years old, stood by and watched in fear as an Indian came out of the woods. When the Indian reached for Thomas, either to kill or kidnap him, Mordecai took aim and shot the Indian dead. The boys then ran into the house where the rest of the family stayed until the arrival of help from Hughes' Station which drove the Indians off. After his death, Abraham's wife Bathsheba was left with five children on the harsh frontier. Abraham's land was divided by law between Bathsheba and the oldest son, Mordecai, leaving Thomas to earn his own way in life. He would eventually become a wealthy landowner himself and his second child, also named Abraham, would one day become the 16th President of the United States.

Abraham's father's family settled in Pennsylvania and Abraham was born in Berks County, the first of 9 children. Abraham became a tanner, perhaps because of a family relationship with James Boone, a well-regarded tanner who lived nearby. James was an uncle of Daniel Boone and his daughter was married to Abraham's father's half-brother. Much of the Lincoln clan moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia when Abraham's father purchased a large tract of land there in 1768. Abraham received a portion of the land, married and began having children. When the American Revolution broke out, Abraham became involved with the local militia. He served as a captain of the Augusta County militia first and later with the Rockingham County militia when that county was established in 1778. Lincoln's unit was called into service under the Western Department of the Continental Army when Brigadier General Lachlan McIntosh of Georgia was in command there. McIntosh had recently been involved in the killing of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia and a political rival of McIntosh, when the two fought a duel over various accusations. George Washington valued McIntosh's contributions to the war and feared that McIntosh might be killed or imprisoned by Gwinnett's supporters, so he had him transferred to the northwest. The Western Department was headquartered at Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh) and was responsible for guarding the backcountry from British invasion from Fort Detroit. McIntosh devised a plan to attack Detroit that involved the building of two new forts to aid in the attack, Fort Laurens on the Tuscarawas River in Ohio and Fort McIntosh at the convergence of the Ohio and Beaver Rivers in Pennsylvania. Abraham Lincoln's Rockingham militia unit was called into service to help build the two forts during the latter part of 1778. In 1780, Abraham Lincoln moved his family to Jefferson County, Kentucky (then part of Virginia), and settled near Hughes' Station east of Louisville (a station was like a small fort near which settlers would live for protection). Lincoln began purchasing land and eventually owned 2,000 acres. Unfortunately, the area was still contested by Indians and Lincoln had numerous "visits" from local Indians who wanted him off their hunting grounds. In 1786, Lincoln was working on the farm with his three sons when he was shot from the forest and killed. The oldest son, Mordecai, who was 15 or 16, quickly ran to the cabin to get a gun, while the next son, Josiah, 13, ran off to Hughes' Station for help. The youngest son, Thomas, who was only 8 years old, stood by and watched in fear as an Indian came out of the woods. When the Indian reached for Thomas, either to kill or kidnap him, Mordecai took aim and shot the Indian dead. The boys then ran into the house where the rest of the family stayed until the arrival of help from Hughes' Station which drove the Indians off. After his death, Abraham's wife Bathsheba was left with five children on the harsh frontier. Abraham's land was divided by law between Bathsheba and the oldest son, Mordecai, leaving Thomas to earn his own way in life. He would eventually become a wealthy landowner himself and his second child, also named Abraham, would one day become the 16th President of the United States. | Lincoln, Captain Abraham (I112978)

| 1129 | CAUTION: MEGA MIX UP OF PEOPLE AGAIN! HE HAD 7 CHILDREN, NOT 12! See "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail" in MEMORIES so different generations and unrelated people do not get added again! Alexander Herron or Herring was the only son of Alexander Herring who died at Delaware in 1735. The mother was Margaret. Where this surname for her came from is a question mark. Children as listed in J. Houston Harrison, "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail," page 286 were: LEONARD, b. 1731, d. after 1805 and married Abigail Harrison, daughter of Thomas Harrison, founder of Harrisonburg. So Leonard had a mother whose maiden name was Abigail Harrison and a wife whose maiden name was Abigail Harrison, but they were 2 DIFFERENT persons. JOHN, b. before 1741 and d. before 1778. ALEXANDER, b. about 1739 and d. April-l-May, 1779; m. ____? BATHSHEBA, b. about 1742 d. 1836; md. Abraham Lincoln, b. 13 May 1744, and d. May 1786. He was the grandfather of the president and son of "Virginia" John Lincoln. WILLIAM, b. about 1744; d. July 1806; m. Elizabeth Stephenson. She died 1821 and was a sister to Major David Stephenson. JESSE, b. ____; s. March 1781; d. March 1781, unmarried. BETHUEL, b. 1751; d. ___; m. 2nd, in October `800, Margaret Erwin, daughter of John. In the will of Alexander Sr., this man's father, will dated September 19, 1735 it stated: "To my loving son Alexander Herring, house and 189 acres." Where did this person get the name John added. No reference in land or court records or in J. Houston Harrison's "Settlers by the Long Grey Trai"l when referring to Alexander Herring or Herron called him John. Find a grave calls him Alexander. There was a later John A., but not this one. | Herring, Alexander Jr. (I139416)

| 1130 | CAUTION: SEVERAL DIFFERENT COUSINS OF THE SAME NAME WERE MIXED AND MERGED. Please keep separated. Mordecai was the earliest direct Lincoln ancestor of the President to settle in Pennsylvania. With him came his brother, Abraham, the first of the Lincoln clan to bear that name. They were the sons of Mordecai Lincoln of Scituate, Massachusetts, and the grandsons of Samuel Lincoln of Hingham, the first Lincoln progenitor of the President to settle in America. Both Mordecai and his brother Abraham lived in New Jersey about seven years before migrating to Pennsylvania. While residing in New Jersey, Mordecai married Hannah Saltar, to which union there were born one son, John, and five daughters. One of the daughters died in infancy and lies buried in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Mordecai and Hannah Lincoln and their family settled at "Scoolkill," later called Coventry Township, in Chester County. Here Mordecai, in partnership with Samuel Nutt and William Branson, operated a forge on French Creek - just how long Mordecai remained here it is difficult to determine. There is some indication that he intended to return to New Jersey as he sold his interest in the forge for five hundred pounds on December 14 1726, and five months later he bought of Richard Saltar, a tract of land in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Apparently it was about the time of the New Jersey land purchase in 1727, that his wife, Hannah, passed away and left him with five children, the oldest but eleven, and the youngest, an infant born shortly before the mother's death. (www.berkshistory.org) "Mordecai Lincoln married Hannah, daughter of Richard and Sarah Bowne Salter previous to 1711, as in that year Hannah Lincoln is mentoned in a will of Captain John Bowne, 2nd (her uncle). The settlement of this estate involved a tedious lawsuit which is noted in Book No. 1, Minutes of Court, Freehold. Mordecai Lincoln's will was admitted to probate at Philadelphia, June 7, 1736. The plantation of Mordecai contained 1,000 acres situated in Exeter, now Berks County, Pennsylvania."

The following excerpt was extracted from a 1980s interview with Charles Garnett's son, C. Easton Rothwell: "I don't remember very much about my life in Denver. I do remember that there was a beautiful park close to us called Washington Park. Very often, on a Sunday, my father would get a boat and take us rowing on the lake in the park. My dad had had a lot of experience with water, since he lived so long on the Saint Lawrence River at Kingston, just where the Saint Lawrence River leaves Lake Ontario. He was a great sailor. He even loved to sail ice boats, which are very risky things to handle. He ultimately taught me how to handle a canoe and how to do a lot of other things that were useful to me." -C.

| 1150 | Charles Sanborn Cram was born Sept. 10, 1823 at Meredith, New Hampshire. Part of his boyhood was spent in Boston and vicinity with which he became very familiar. In later life he took great delight narrating instances and describing places of note and interest. The woods of New England where wild game, nuts and berries were plentiful were his favorite haunts. He belonged to a large family one brother being killed while in service during the Civil War. While yet a young man he heard the Gospel preached in his own home. His father and he accepted the same and were baptized. [sic] About 1850 he married Eliza Prescott in New York to whom eight children were born. After making their home in the south for a number of years they came to Utah in 1861. Being a successful contractor and builder he soon established himself in business after his arrival in Salt Lake City. The family was soon provided with what was considered in those days a very comfortable home. He also built several homes for prominent business men and other important buildings while here. He was a close friend of President Brigham Young and the authorities of the church, often entertaining them in his own home. Here he met Miss Margaret Smith who later became his plural wife. Four children blessed this union. In 1873 having been called by President Young, he left to go to Arizona. The expedition was abandoned however on account of the Indian trouble and he met those returning at Johnson, Utah. Here the family remained for a short time locating in Stewart Canyon. Having brought a number of cows and horses along dairying [sic] proved very successful, due to the excellent meadow land which was plentiful. In 1875 he moved to Kanab where he took an active part in helping to build up this southern country. Not only in Kanab but also in Long Valley many may be seen yet. He was one of the presidents of the eighty fifth quorum of Seventy organized in Kanab in 1885 being one of the most faithful in his labors. About 1889 he moved to Provo, Utah in order to give his children the advantage of higher education and while there built an addition to the state mental hospital. After returning to Kanab the family engaged in the dairy business as they had for many years at the ranch called Crocodile, deriving the name from an underground lake, the opening of which resembled a Crocodile's mouth. He built a small boat which was lit by a pitch torch, where the young folks found entertainment by boat riding on the lake, picnicing etc. Many names and dates engraven [sic] on the walls of the cave may still be seen as souvenineers [sic] of the good old days. He was a strict observer of the Word of Wisdom. As the following extract from a letter written by him to Geo. Cannon then editor of the Juvenile Instructor shows. Suggestions as to the best method of teaching observence [sic] to the Word of Wisdom to the Sunday School children were asked for in the Topic of the Times, an article in the Juvenile Instructor. He says: "Being desireous [sic] of aiding in so worthy a cause I will give you my experience: After joining the church and before emigrating to Utah my wife and I decided to leave all behind that had been forbidden for the use of man of the Lord. I am now seventy five years old and have been in Utah forty years. I have never been layed [sic] up a day with sickness, am in good health and expect to live to a good old age if I continue to keep the Word of Wisdom. I believe and suggest that if Presidents of Stakes, bishops of wards presidents of quorums, high council men and leading elders of the church would stop using and selling those things which have been forbidden it would help in the good cause by setting worthy examples for the youth to follow." Years later a similar suggestion was made by the church arthorities [sic] with special requests for those holding the priesthood to comply with the same. Temple work received especial attention much time and means being spent therein. He having obtained many names (from a Mr. John G. Cram of Boston, Mass. who tho not a member of the church was engaged in gathering geneolagy [sic] of the Cram family) was able to spend his last days in temple work. He died Nov. 10, 1904 of paralysis after but a few days illness, being stricken with the same after voting at the general election Nov. 8. He was 81 years and two months old at the time of his death and was buried in the Kanab cemetary [sic]. | Cram, Charles Sanborn Sr (I132572)
