Wilson, Doris Louise (I139174)
 
1303 Dorthea Christensen (Andersen) was born in Lille Ransing, Odense, Denmark. Her Father was Christen Andersen 'Norby' born in Oddense, Viborg, Denmark on 25 April 1796. He was a carpenter. He married Anne Pedersdatter or Petersen on 2 April 1822. Her married name was Anne Marie Andersen. She was born 29 April 1792.

After the death of Christen Andersen 'Norby' on 15 May 1841, Anne joined the Church (in 1852) and came to Utah with 3 of her daughters. Christian and Anne had six children, Mariane who married Christian Andersen Thorum and died in Ephraim on 1 January 1897; Dorthe Marie who died in Denmark; Johanna who married Frederick Holst and died in 1888 in Ephraim after being an invalid; Anne's other children were Maren who died in 1830 as a child; and Esper who stayed in Denmark and died in 1888; as well as Dorthea Christensen (Andersen) who married Hans Jorgensen on 4 July 1853 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, had eight children and died in Logan, Utah 3 October 1902.

Her Christening name was Dorthea Christensdatter. See more notes below.

She is listed as Dorthea in her daughter's papers and on her tombstone. (Note from RaeAnn Collier)
Dorthea is the person for whom the rest of the information is correct.

Dorthe Marie is her sister who was born four years earlier and did not come to America. She had a child out of wedlock just a few months after her mother, Anna Pedersdatter and her sisters, Marianne, Johanna, and Dorthea, left to join the Mormons in Utah. 3 months later, she marries the father of her children. We know this because the patronymic last name of the first child is listed as the same as the rest of the children. The priest knew who the father was and knew they intended to marry. Which they did as early in the spring as they could travel safely. Many times children were christened by their fathers at home because the winter cold prevented the parents from traveling into the parish safely. There were no cars or paved roads or salting equipment. The Danish would store up food for the winter and live their lives in closed quarters for many months. Taking care of marriage and recording Christenings after the winter is over shows up in many church books in the Viborg District. Missionaries who have served there even in the 21st Century, know of the harshness of winter there and know that visits to the deep country are usually done in the summer.

Some of Dorthea's family listed her as Dorthea Andersen and some as Dorthea Christensen. The Church Books, as well as the Census, in Denmark are required by law to keep the woman's maiden patronymic name, which from Dorthea's birth was Dorthea Christensdatter. That is how she is listed in the Census and the Church Books

When the family moved to Utah, one will notice there was a large group of German saints on the ship Dorthea came on with her mother. At this point, on the ship, there begins to be a shift to surnames created along the lines of the German rules for surnames. This is where she begins to show up in various records as Dorthea Christensen and then Dorthea Andersen, Andersen being the patronymic name which states that her father was the son of Anders, And Christensen being the patronymic name given to the boys to show they are the sons of Christen. This is also the time when her mother's name begins to be listed by her husband's last name instead of her patronymic name of Pedersdatter.

Please note here also that Marianne and her daughter came on another ship earlier than Anna, Dorthea and Johanne. Her daughter, Ane Katrine Christendatter, died as a two year old on that voyage. There is no record of her immunization in Denmark before they depart. Marianne's husband, Christen Andersen 'Thorum' appears in Danish Church records with the family, as they move toward Copenhagen where they can get various ships. The records indicate that he remained there alone until all the family could be put on a ship with passage to Utah. Then he inexplicably shows up in Utah Records where children are born at a later date. There is no record of his ship passage. The only way that I can currently guess about how he came is that he worked on the crew of a ship to get his passage and then came on his own across the country. His name does not show up on any current ship immigration records.

1305 Dr. Leland A Poole, born February 11, 1922 at age 98, passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 24, 2020. After 18 years of separation, he is finally reunited with his beautiful wife Katherine Johnson Poole. While serving a Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Ottawa, Canada, Bob met and fell in love at first sight with Kit. When he was released from his mission, they were married in the Mesa, Arizona Temple. After just two weeks together, our father was inducted into the Navy, where he served as a Quartermaster on the USS Briscoe during World War II.

Once released from the Navy, our father returned home to Long Beach, California where he and our mother started their life together. What a wonderful life they had, together with their six children: Dennis Poole (Adrianne), Leah Wright (Mark), Heather Christensen (Todd), Gaylene Hoyt (Scott), Lori Carter (Tim) and Melinda Masters (Greg). After 59 years of marriage, they had a beautiful family they loved very much. Dad truly left a Legacy of Love behind; for he also had 31 Grandchildren, 116 Great Grandchildren and 8 Great Great Grandchildren, who all knew him and loved him. He is also survived by his brother, Ralph Poole (Velma) who now resides in Las Vegas.

Inspired by his Aunt Hazel, our father decided to become a chiropractor, so they moved to Seattle, Washington. Upon receiving his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree, he started a very successful and fulfilling Chiropractic Practice in Long Beach, California, until he retired.

Upon retiring, he and our mother went to Palmyra, New York where they served for almost 3 years as Public Relations Missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They loved their mission and all the people they served.
Our father will always be remembered by how much he loved our mother, his love for his whole family, and how he made each of them feel special. He also loved the Savior and, by our father’s example, inspired many. He was completely dedicated and committed to his church and served in many callings. He had a very witty humor which he got from his mother. He loved teasing his grandchildren, especially on our annual family gatherings in Yosemite.

Our father will be truly missed, but we know he is with his loved ones again; his loving wife, parents, his sister, and a grandson.
Due to Covid-19, there will be a family viewing and a graveside memorial at Rose Hills Cemetery on May 30th, 2020. Saddleback Mortuary in Tustin, California will be handling all the arrangements and the service.

Phebe Smith did not have a first husband surnamed Smith and was not the widow Smith when Joseph Seabury married her. The writer leaves it to others to find the proof.

1311 Drucilla, Drusella, Drewsilla, Drusilla, Drucella- These are all the same person and don't need to be added as another individual. Therefore ordinances do not need to be performed for all the different spellings.

I found this life sketch for Drusilla (Theobald) Passey. It was written by a family member. But doesn't say whom. It mentions grandma in the story.

Druilla Theobald first saw the light of the day in the town of Weston, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, Hamshire, England. Where her grandparents had lived for several generations. They were William Lane and his wife, Elizabeth Parish.

Drusilla's parents were William and Martha (Lane) Theobald. William had been in the Royal British Nancy. Where he had served as ships carpenter. Drusilla was born 22, October 1842 in Freshwater, England. The family moved to Newport, Hampshire, England. After Arthur was born. It was while living at Newport, Isle of Wight, Hampshire, England, that the Mormon missionaries came to their home.

When Drucilla was nine they lfet England to join the saints in Utah. How excited she must have been embarking on this big ship, sailing on and on for ten long weeks. Helping her parents care for the smaller children. Dreaming of seeing America, of which they had heard so much. After two and half months, they reached New Orleans. Where they had another two weeks traveling up the Misissippi River on a boat to St. Louis, Missouri. Here they stayed two weeks getting their land legs and preparing for the trek westward. From England to Salt Lake City consumed nine long months. They landed in that city on October 1851.

Being the oldest child in a growing family, there was one thing Drusilla learned well. That was hard work, wich everyone had to do to survive in those days. Women and children gleaned in the fields to survive in those days. Womean and child geaned in the fields to get wheat for a little bread. Nothing was ever left to go to waste if there was time and strength to get it gathered. Food was hard to get. The valley had only been settle about four years.

During this time a young Englishman had accepted the gospel in Gloucester and jointed the body of saints coming with the first Handcard company. He was Thomas Passey, whom Drucilla met and married in Salt Lake City in August of 1858. After living in Salkt Lake City for two months. Thomas found a job working for Bishop John Moon. They moved to Farmington, where their first child, a son, (John Thomas) was born 24,January 1860.

Not long after having John Thomas they went to the Endowment House and were endowed and sealed to each other for time and all eternity. Children were not sealed at this time. 20, July 1861.

In the fall of 1861 Thomas's parents, came into the valley with a group of emigrants. It was a joyous reunion.

In 1866 the family moved to Bear Lake County. Thomas' parents and brother Fred had moved their in 1864 answering a call from Brigham Young to settle the Bear Lake Valley. John and Ann (New) Passey had prepared a lot, built a two room log home with a lean-to on the back, and a cellar for storage. To this home Tom took his family.

With fresh provisions Thomas' family brouth with them, the two families settled down for the winter in pioneer style. Pioneer life was not easy. The two families comprized of 10 people living in a two room cabin with a lean-to on back. Their home was not ready until the end of May 1867 It was room compared to sharing the elder Passey home. It had two rooms with windows, doors and lumbered floors. This lumber had to be awed by hand as there were no saw mills at that time, and lumber floors were rare indeed. The boards were rough and slivery, but by scoring with sand, they became smooth.

Her husband being ambitiou, with Drusilla's good managing they began to prosper. Through hard work they became the managers of the Union Dairy in Liberty, the Cooperative Dairy in Nounan, and later Thomas purchased the Joe Rich farm and moved to te bottoms not far from Montpelier, where they operatored their own dairy.for 30 years.

Drusilla taught her children to be thrifty, clean, and hardworking. Everyone was expected to work as soon as they were old enough. She also had a deep love for the gospel, and wanted her children to live it.

Grandma always set a good table. There were generous portions and she was willing to feed all who came to their house. Thomas and Drusilla were the parents of 13 children. Truly they raised up a righteous family unto the Lord.

1317 During his bachelor days in the early 1920s in Los Angeles, he had the opportunity to work in Hollywood as an actor. During that time he also wrote articles for the Danish daily tabloid B.T., including a portrait of child actor Jackie Coogan as well as an interview with/portrait of his fellow Dane, famous actor Jean Hersholt whom he visited in his L.A. home.

He met fellow Danish immigrant Helga Marie Pedersen in Los Angeles circa 1929 (she had immigrated to the U.S. the previous year.)

The couple was married on November 4, 1930 in Los Angeles.

Their only child Betsie May Brinkmann was born on May 26, 1932 in Los Angeles.

The family of three left the U.S. in 1938, and settled down in Denmark.

In 1939 in Copenhagen, Helga became pregnant again, but was admitted to Sundby Hospital where she died on December 18. The cause of death was graviditas extrauterina, pregnancy outside the uterus. Secondary cause of death: paralysis.

Oscar Brinkmann remarried in 1941, his 2nd wife was Karen Eli Lindhøj Larsen. The couple had one child, Jens Georg Brinkmann, born 1941 in Copenhagen.

In the late 1920s to early 1930s in the U.S., he had become interested in politics and the communist party.

He had served in the U.S. army, and also volunteered to fight with the International Brigade in the Spanish civil war.

In In June 1941, Danish police arrested the first 107 of 250 Danish communists who were interned at the Horserød camp north Copenhagen. On August 28, 1943, the Germans took over the camp. 95 of the inmates managed to escape; the rest, including Oscar Brinkmann, were sent to the Stutthof concentration camp in northern Germany.

In March 1945, Oscar Brinkmann and the surviving inmates at Stutthof were liberated by the advancing Russian army. He and about 100 fellow Danish inmates walked to Denmark. From Fredericia in Southern Jutland he took a train to Copenhagen. His time at Stutthof had weakened him physically and mentally, and he never fully recovered from his ordeal although, together with his wife, he was able to continue his restaurant business in Hellerup after his return.

On May 8, 1949, he shot himself in his home at Calisensvej 8 in Hellerup. World War II had stolen yet another life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horser%C3%B8d_camp

"In Denmark, communists had long been surveilled and perceived as a threat to national security by the political establishment and on 22 June 1941, around 300 Danish members of the Communist Party of Denmark (DKP) were arrested by the Danish police. In Copenhagen they were detained at Vestre Prison without charge and on the 20 August, 107 of the arrested men were deported from Vestre Prison to the Horserød camp, among them member of parliament Martin Nielsen. On 22 August 1941, the Danish parliament adopted the Anti-Communist Act with retroactive effect.[2] On 29 August 1943, during the countrywide Operation Safari, the Germans captured the camp and in the event, 95 prisoners managed to escape, while the remaining 150 communists were subsequently deported to the German Stutthof concentration camp."

1332 Ebenezer is listed in the book, "History of the Kimball Family in America..." which can be found online here: https://archive.org/stream/historyofkimball00morr#page/68/mode/2up . See page 68. According to this source, Ebenezer was the son of Samuel Kimball and Mary Witt. There were 13 children altogether - a very large family. Eight of the 13 children have exact birthdates provided. For Ebenezer is only says "about 1690." Some siblings have records listed in Wenham vital records:
Kimball, Samuell, s. Samuell, Aug. 19, 1677. CTR
Kimball, Sarah, d. Samuell, 6: 7m: 1678. CTR
Kimball, John, s. Samuell, Nov. 13, 1687. CTR
Kimball, Thomas, s. Samuel and Mary, Feb. 22, 1695-6.
Kimball, Benjamin, s. Samuel and Marey, Apr. 17, 1698.
Kimball, Abbigall, d. Samuel, sr. and Marey, May 25, 1700.
Kimball, Jerushah, d. Samuell, sr. and Mary, Apr. 30, 1703.

In addition to the above information in Wenham vital records, the above-referenced book on the Kimball family supplies a birthdate for the "first' Martha of 24 May, 1680.

Ebenezer's marriage intentions are found in Salisbury vital records:
Kimball, Ebinezer, of Boston, and Elizabeth Carr, int. May 24, 1712. NCTBK

There are many children listed in Wenham vital records for Ebenezer and Elizabeth, including:
Ebenezer, s. Ebenezer and Elisabeth, June 23, 1720.
Richard, s. Ebeneser and Elisabeth, Dec. 29, 1722.
Abigall, d. Ebenzer and Wlisabeth, Apr. 13, 1726.
Sarah, d. Ebenezur and Elisabeth, Apr. 16, 1728.
Anna, d. Ebenezur and Elisabeth, July 11, 1729.
Boys [Bouse. CR]., s. Ebenezer and Elisabeth, June 18, 1731.

According to the above-referenced Kimball history, Ebenezer and Elizabeth had 3 children before Ebenezer in 1720, all females - Elizabeth, Mary, and Dorothy. It gives a marriage date for Ebenezer and Elizabeth of June 9, 1712 (but didn't say where). Ebenezer Kimball's will was probated in 1773; in his will written earlier (March 17, 1769) he mentioned 9 children - Ebenezer, Richard, Boys, Dorothy, Elizabeth, Mary, Abigail, Sarah, and Anna. In this source there is more information about the three boys, but only a married name for Anna - no additional information for the girls. An exact birthdate is given for Elizabeth of 19 March 1712/13. I have been able to find this date on a record from Boston on ancestry.com for Eliza Kimball, daughter of Ebenezer Kimball. I think it likely that the family may have lived in Boston for a time before moving to Wenham before 1720. On page 68 of the above-mentioned book it says that Ebenezer lived in "Wenham and Beverly" before moving to Hopkinton in 1740. It appears that there are marriage records for all nine children of Ebenezer and Elizabeth in Hopkinton vital records.

There is a death record for the widow of Ebenezer Kimbal in Beverly in 1763. On page 68 of the above-mentioned book, it says that Ebenezer died in 1769. Obviously something is wrong here - Elizabeth couldn't have been called a widow in 1763 if her husband didn't die until 1769. And on page 68 it says that Ebenezer's wife was still alive when his will was probated in 1773.

Ebenezer's probate documents can be found on ancestry.com in a collection called "Massachusetts, Wills and Probate Records, 1635-1991." In his will, written in 1769, he mentions his wife Elizabeth, son-in-law James Hiscock, and his "other children Ebenezer, Richard, and Boys, and Dorothy, Elisabeth, Mary, Abigail, and Sarah."

Regarding the birth order of the first three daughters - I don't know for sure if Elizabeth or Dorothy was born first. It seems from the dates that Elizabeth was born first - so close to when her parents were married - but Dorothy was married first. Perhaps that is why Dorothy is mentioned first in her father's will?

He is the great-grandfather of Newell Kimball Whitney, second presiding Bishop of the LDS church, through son Boyce and granddaughter Susanna. 
Kimball, Ebenezer (I90577)
 
1333 Edie Sedgwick was born in Santa Barbara, California, the seventh of eight children of Alice Delano de Forest (1908-1988) and Francis Minturn Sedgwick (1904-1967), a rancher and sculptor.[5] She was named after her father's aunt, Edith Minturn Stokes, who was famously painted with her husband, Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes, by John Singer Sargent.[6]

Despite her family's wealth and high social status, Edie's early life was troubled.[7] The Sedgwick children were raised on the family's California ranches. Initially schooled at home and cared for by nannies, their lives were rigidly controlled by their parents. They were largely isolated from the outside world, and it was instilled into them that they were superior to most of their peers. It was within these familial and social conditions that Sedgwick by her early teens developed an eating disorder, settling into an early pattern of bingeing and purging. At age 13 (the year her grandfather Henry Dwight Sedgwick died), Sedgwick began boarding at the Branson School near San Francisco. According to her older sister Alice "Saucie" Sedgwick, she was soon taken out of the school because of the eating disorder. Her father severely restricted her freedom when she returned home.

All the Sedgwick children had conflicted relationships with their father (whom they called "Fuzzy"). By most accounts, he was narcissistic, emotionally remote, controlling, and frequently abusive. He also openly carried on affairs with other women. On one occasion, Edie walked in on him while he was having sex with one of his mistresses. She reacted with great surprise, but he claimed that she had imagined it, slapped her, and called a doctor to administer tranquilizers to her.[8] As an adult, Edie told people that he had attempted to molest her several times, beginning when she was seven.[7]

In 1958, her parents enrolled her at St. Timothy's School in Maryland. She was eventually taken out of the school due to an eating disorder that had progressed to anorexia.[9]

In the fall of 1962, at her father's insistence, Sedgwick was committed to the private psychiatric hospital Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut. As the regime was very lax, Sedgwick easily manipulated the situation at Silver Hill, and her weight kept dropping. She was later sent to Bloomingdale, the Westchester County, New York division of the New York Hospital where her anorexia improved markedly. Around the time she left the hospital, she had a brief relationship with a Harvard student, became pregnant, and procured an abortion, citing her present psychological issues, with her mother's intervention.[10]

In the fall of 1963, Sedgwick moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts and began studying sculpture with her cousin, artist Lily Saarinen. Saarinen said of her cousin Sedgwick, "She was very insecure about men, though all the men loved her."[11][12] During this period, she partied with members of an elite bohemian fringe of the Harvard social scene, which included many gay men.

Sedgwick was deeply affected by the loss of her older brothers, Francis Jr. (known as "Minty") and Robert (known as "Bobby"), who died within 18 months of each other. Francis Sedgwick, who had a particularly unhappy relationship with their father, suffered several breakdowns, eventually committing suicide in 1964 while committed at Silver Hill Hospital. Her second oldest brother, Robert, also suffered from mental health problems and died when his motorcycle crashed into the side of a New York City bus on New Year's Eve 1965.

Father of Samuel Chandler, Lydia (Chandler) Higgins, Mary Chandler, Anna (Chandler) Pickworth, Ruth Chandler, John Chandler, Ruth Chandler, Benjamin Chandler, Joseph Chandler and Sarah Chandler
Died after 2 May 1662 in Duxbury, Plymouth, MA

Biography

It has been said that there is much confusion and misinformation about Edmund Chandler who immigrated to Plymouth, Massachusetts before 1633. He probably was born in England between 1588 and 1592.

He seems to have lived in Leiden. He is listed in the Leiden records several times. He was a member of the Separatist (English religious dissenting) congregation. His profession was sayweaver. He married and had three children born at Leiden: Samuel, Lydia, and an unnamed child who died in 1619. The name of his first wife is unknown.

The last of the Leiden pilgrims arrived in Plymouth Colony about 1629. Edmund and Roger Chandler were among them. He resided at Plymouth, then at neighboring Duxbury. His profession is given as draper. He served as constable. He first married while in Leiden. He married again, to a woman whose first name was Sarah, but a record of his marriage has not been found. Edmund Chandler had seven surviving children: John, Sarah, Anna, Mary, Benjamin, Joseph, and Ruth[1]. He made his will on on May 3, 1662 and had passed away by June 4, 1662. The married names and husbands of his daughters are unknown.

Name: Elizabeth? Alden - She married a different Edmund Chandler. She was born man years too late to have been a wife to this Edmund.

Below information POSTED by Thomas Moody (sources listed in "Source" section.

Edmund died between May 2, 1662 when he made his Will and June 2, 1662 when the inventory of his estate was taken. His Will was proved June 4, 1662 (Plymouth Colony Probate, Book 2: pt. 2: 75, 76 as referred to in “Small”, see above) When he died, he bequeathed to his daughters, Sarah, Anna, and Mary “three thousand and five hundred of sugar which belonges to mee at Barbadoes.” Only the sugar was said to have been in Barbados, not the daughters also, as some have asserted.

1336 Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Lord Mortimer (1251 - July 17, 1304) was the second son and eventual heir of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer. His mother was Maud de Braose.

As a younger son, Edmund had been intended for clerical or monastic life, and had been sent to study at Oxford University.

He was made Treasurer of York in 1265.

By 1268 he is recorded as studying Theology in the house of the Archbishop of York. King Henry III showed favour by supplementing his diet with the luxury of venison.

The sudden death of his elder brother, Ralph, in 1274, made him heir to the family estates; yet he continued to study at Oxford. But his father's death eventually forced his departure.

He returned to the March in 1282 as the new Lord Mortimer of Wigmore and immediately became involved in Welsh Marches politics. Together with his brother Roger Mortimer, Baron of Chirk, John Giffard, and Roger Lestrange, he devised a plan to trap Llywelyn ap Gruffudd.

Edmund sent a message to Llywelyn telling him he was coming to Llywelyn's aid and arranged to meet with him at Builth. At Irfon Bridge the Welsh prince became separated from his army. Edmund's brothers secretly forded the river behind Llywelyn's army and surprised the Welsh. In the resulting battle Llywelyn was killed and beheaded. Edmund then sent his brother Roger Mortimer of Chirk to present Llywelyn's severed head to King Edward I of England at Rhuddlan Castle. The head was displayed on the Tower of London as a warning to all rebels.

In return for his services Edmund was knighted by King Edward at Winchester in 1283.

In September 1285, he married Margaret de Fiennes, the daughter of William II de Fiennes and Blanche de Brienne (herself the granddaughter of John of Brienne by his third wife Berenguela of Leon), the family entering the blood royal. Their surviving children were:

Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March (25 April 1287 - 29 November 1330) married Joan de Geneville,[6] by whom he had twelve children.

Maud Mortimer, married Sir Theobald II de Verdun, by whom she had four daughters, Joan de Verdun, who married John de Montagu (d. August 1317), eldest son and heir apparent of William Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu;

Elizabeth de Verdun, who married Bartholomew de Burghersh, 1st Baron Burghersh;

Margaret de Verdun, who married firstly Sir William le Blount of Sodington, Worcestershire, secondly Sir Mark Husee, and thirdly Sir John de Crophill;

and (allegedly) Katherine de Verdun.

John Mortimer, accidentally slain in a joust by John de Leyburne.

Walter Mortimer, a priest, Rector of Kingston.

Edmund, a priest, Rector of Hodnet and Treasurer of the cathedral at York.

Hugh Mortimer, a priest, Rector of church at Old Radnor.

They also had two daughters who became nuns; Elizabeth and Joan.

Mortimer served in the king's Scottish campaign, and returned to fight in Wales in 1283. He was mortally wounded in a skirmish near Builth, and died at Wigmore Castle.

1350 Elder for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (member of Zion's Camp and the First Quorum of the Seventy). See http://www.josephsmithpapers.org/person/william-dickinson-pratt and http://www.gapages.com/prattwd1.htm .

William Dickinson Pratt was born September 3, 1802 in Worcester, New York to Jared and Charity Pratt, the second oldest of their five sons.
The Pratt family was poor, moving from settlement to settlement in New York as farmers and day laborers. William and his brothers had limited opportunities for education and worked hard from a young age.
In 1823, William, his father Jared, and his brother Parley bought some forested land near Ostego, New York. In spite their efforts to improve and farm the land, they could not raise enough money to make the payments, and lost everything after three years.
Following this failure, William went on his own to New York City in search of work; his family heard nothing from him for several years and feared him dead when a William Pratt was reported drowned in the Hudson River. William had not drowned but spent about five years working and moving from place to place before settling in Ohio not far from his brother Parley in 1830.
In 1831, William followed the lead of his brothers and was baptized into the recently founded Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He moved to the church’s headquarters in Kirtland where he was ordained an Elder by Sidney Rigdon in 1833 and was intensively involved in church activities, including carrying dispatches for Joseph Smith and participating in the 1834 Camp of Israel expedition to Missouri (“Zion’s Camp”). William was ordained a seventy and appointed member of First Quorum of the Seventy in 1835.
On December 1, 1836, William married Hannah Ward in Kirtland, Ohio. Their daughter Sarah Jane was born in 1838 in Kirtland but passed away before her first birthday. Around this time William and Hannah joined other church member in moving to Far West, Missouri, where they experienced significant hardship before being forced from the state in the winter of 1838-1839. Following their expulsion from Missouri, William and Hannah settled first in Bryant, Illinois and then in Nauvoo. Shortly after their arrival in Nauvoo, Hannah became sick and died two weeks later on September 20th, 1840.
On March 1st, 1841, William married Wealthy Eddy Shumway, a recent widow with two children. William and Wealthy had 3 children while living in Nauvoo; Martha Marinda, William Jared, and Stephen. Of these, only William Jared lived to adulthood. In 1844, William was in New York serving a mission when he learned of the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. On his return he was ordained a high priest and served several more missions to New York in 1844 and 1845. In 1846, William and his family suffered in the increasingly hostile situation in Nauvoo, eventually fleeing across the river.
In 1848, for reasons that are not entirely clear, William and Wealthy separated and divorced. In 1850, William was living with Losana Bentley, her daughter Virginia Newman, and their daughter Mirza Liona Pratt in Pottawattamie county, Iowa. In 1851, William left Iowa with his brother Orson and Orson’s family for the journey west, arriving in Salt Lake City on October 4th. William remarried and practiced polygamy while living in Utah, marrying at least three wives including: Jane Hawley, 24 August 1857; Catherine Frederickson, 24 October 1863; Azubah Cox, 17 July 1867.
William died in Salt Lake City on 15 September 1870 at the age of 68 and was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
