| 2102 | Jeppa Nilsson was bom 5 October 1842 in Vastra Torp, Lilla Isie, Malmohus, Sweden to Nils Anderson (Schill) and Elna Jeppason (Olsen). The family heard the gospel from LDS missionaries and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Malmohus, Sweden. Jeppa was baptized on 17 July 1858. Jeppa did some missionary work in Sweden before leaving for Zion. He came with his 14 year old brother, Anders(Andrew) to the United States on the ship MONARCH OF THE SEA, sailing from Liverpool, England, 28 April 1864. Jeppa was listed in the record as Jeppa Nilsson, Andrew was listed as Anders Schill. Jeppa and his brother Andrew immigrated to Utah. They worked and sent money to help their parents and younger children get to America. On the way across the ocean, Jeppa's mother died and was buried at sea, leaving Nils Anderson to continue the joumey alone with three young children, the youngest, Olof being only three years old. "In the meantime Jeppa had met and married Susan Swain, the daughter of John Swain and Elizabeth Warden, who had joined the church and came to Utah also. Jeppa and Susan were married in Fort Alma (Monroe), 21 March 1867, just a month before the people of Sevier were driven into Sanpete County because of Indian troubles; when the Indian hostilities were at an end and their family returned to Monroe. The 1900 United States Census lists Jeppa Nilsson, number of years in the U.S.-36, Naturalized, Occupation - Groceryman, can read, write, and speak English, owned property with mortgage, it was a farm and the farm schedule was 48. In the early 1880’s the Nilsson brothers, Jeppa, Andrew and Christopher went up on the mountain following the ridge above Oak Flat They built a road under Monroe Peak to the north from Mud Flat into Nilsson Hollow." Family members state the following: "The first sawmill was set up in Dry Creek Canyon by the Nilsson brothers, Jeppa, Andrew and Christopher, who built it in 1883." Jeppa and Susan Nilsson ran a farm there in Monroe. The Nilsson brothers also built the first lumber yard in Monroe. Jeppa Albert's wife, Elizabeth, said that Albert's mother use to spin silk into cloth. About 1884, Jeppa purchased a store on the northeast comer of Main and 1st North and moved his family into a home behind and over the store (records show his brothers were involved in the store as well). His is where they raised their family. They ran this business until the spring of 1900. By this time Jeppa was nearly blind. They then moved to a home on northeast comer of 2nd N. 1st E. When Jeppa was left alone at the time of Susan's death James Niels (son) and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Richey, lived in this home with him. | Nilsson, Jeppa (I116556)

| 2104 | Jessie Kathleen Pettit born to Jessie Ann and William Arthur Pettit on 17 February 1888 in Landport Hants, England. When Kathleen was a baby she was almost kidnapped. The nurse that took care of Kathleen left her with a stranger while the nurse went to a store close by to pick up some oranges. Suddenly she remembered that she was not to leave the baby with a stranger and rushed out of the store in time to see the woman rushing off with the baby in the buggy. The nurse recovered the child and hurried home. It was later found out that this woman was one of an organized gang who made it a business of kidnapping children, especially those who were well-dressed. They would strip the babies, sell their clothing and buggy, and then destroy the child. Kathleen remembers as a little girl that ironing and mending days were happy ones, while her mother worked, she would sit on a high stool by her side and listen with rapt attention to her mother's numerous stories of when she was a little girl in England. It sounded like a story of fairyland. | Pettit, Jessie Kathleen (I96544)

| 2111 | Johan Peter Gotlieb appears in the 1787 Danish Census at the age of 1 as a foster child from an orphanage; his foster parents are Hans Jorgensen and Johanne Larsdatter living in Tølløse, Merløse, Holbæk, Denmark. Later census records also suggest that he was born around 1785 (some suggest as early as 1784 and some as late as 1787). The 1845, 1850, and 1860 census records show that he was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. By the age of 15 (in the 1801 census), Johan Gotlieb was working as a servant for Anders Jensen of Tølløse. He was confirmed into the Lutheran Church at Tølløse in 1803 with the name Johan Gotlieb Vilhelm Peder Hansen. He seems to have adopted the name Hansen because of his foster father Hans Jorgensen. On 14 November 1815, Johan Gottlieb, age 28, of Norre Vallenderod and Dortea Fridericksdatter, age 34, of Tjornede were married. Hans Jorgensen of Norre Vallenderod is listed as a witness to the marriage. Johan was the father of an adopted daughter Maren (1811), and five biological children: Frederik (1816), Niels (1817), Hans (1820), Johanne (1824), and Jens (1825). Census records and birth records show that Johan and his family resided in Nørre Vallenderød in the Tølløse Parish. Johan died on 10 May 1872 in Tølløse, Merløse, Holbæk, Denmark and was buried in the parish on 17 May 1872. Records left by his grandson Hans Sorensen suggest that Gotlieb may have been a surname, and many of the records during his lifetime support that idea by calling him Johan Gotlieb. The death record, however, lists him as Johan Gottlieb Wilhelm and then also mentions that he was "called by" the name of Hansen. | Wilhelm, Johan Gottlieb Hansen (I126726)
|
| 2112 | Johanne Johansdatter was born 26 January 1824 in Tølløse, Merløse, Holbæk, Denmark. She was the daughter of Johan Gottlieb Wilhelm Hansen and Dorthe Frederiksdatter. Johanne Johansdatter was baptized in the Lutheran Church on 30 January 1824 in Tølløse, Merløse, Holbæk, Denmark. On 20 April 1850, Johanne Johansdatter married Jens Sorensen at Tølløse, Merløse, Holbæk, Denmark. They became the parents of Ane Dorthea (1850), Hans (1853), Lars (1856), and Sophia Petrea (1864). On 8 April 1863, both Jens and Johanne were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They immigrated to Utah and settled in Hyrum, Cache, Utah. Johanna died on 17 February 1893 in Hyrum, Cache, Utah, and was buried in the Hyrum Cemetery in Hyrum, Cache, Utah, United States. After Johanne's death, her husband married Ane Cathrine Jensdatter. | Johansdatter, Johanne (I88645)

| 2113 | Johannes Katzenbach was born on 16 Aug 1786 in Rensselaer County, New York. He was baptized at the Gilead Lutheran Church, Brunswick, New York in 1786. Johnnes is the John Kotchapaw who married Deborah Way in 1815 in Brunswick, New York. Deborah’s parents had settled in the Centre Brunswick area sometime in about 1785. John and Deborah had about ten children while they farmed in Rensselaer County. About 1825, John, Deborah and some of their children moved from the US to a place two miles out of Belleville, Ontario. They emigrated with John’s brother George Ketchepaw and his wife ( Susanne Gow) and child. They must have come up prior to 5 Mar 1826 because that is when Susanne gave birth to their second child. (Her first son was born in the US in 1821.) Deborah’s brother, Reuben Bedell Way, and his family emigrated with them. They likely chose to come to Prince Edward County because they had relatives there. Jacob Ketchabaw, John’s brother (born 15 Jun 1789 in Albany Co, NY) had moved to Canada by 1812 and to Hastings by 1814. Also, Deborah’s Uncle, Daniel Way, and his sons Samuel, James and Benjamin had settled there in 1789 as United Empire Loyalists after the War of Independence. John Katzbashe (Kotchapaw) did Military Service: 1828-1831 in Thurlow, Hastings, Ontario, Canada and his brother Jacob Katzenbach is also listed in the Hastings militia in an 1825 list. The United Empire Loyalists who settled in the county of Hastings and Prince Edward organized the first local Militia units for self-defense. The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment is the modern descendant of those Militia units. 1804 Col. J Ferguson forms the 1st Regiment of Hastings Militia. 1812 The Regiments provided units which served in the War of 1812 1837-38 The Regiments provided units which served in the McKenzie Rebellion John and Deborah Kotchapaw had at least 3 children born to them in Ontario. The Computerized Land Records Index shows that in 1846 both John and George had property next to each other in Thurlow, Hastings Co. concession 3 Lot W ½ 18 for George and E ½ 18 for John…CL Deed 01 C1113 reference 002 055….under the name Ketchipaw. One summer day in 1848, John came in after a day's work on the farm to announce that he felt very sick. He died the next day. Deborah died a few months later. As four of their children - Hiram, Reuben, Deborah Ann, and Matilda were too young to look after themselves, their uncle Reuben Bedell Way and aunt Phoebe took them in. Reuben, the third youngest child of John and Deborah was our ancestor. John died 14 Aug 1848 at the age of 62 in Hastings, Ontario, Canada . He was buried in the Cannifton Cemetery, Hastings County, Ontario (Bedell (Rupert's Property) Cemetery, Thurlow Township) | Katzenbach, Johannes (I58880)

| 2114 | John Alcocke England Marriages, 1538-1973 Name: John Alcocke Spouse's Name: Alce Alriche Event Date: 08 Feb 1589 Event Place: Saint Margaret Moses,London,London,England He died in 1610 in Cambridgeshire England. Their son George Alcock was born in England and came to Roxbury Massachusetts and died there and his brother Thomas stayed and died in England. Neither of them ever went to Maine possible wrong merges, and probably wrong sources, born in Cambridge or Sussex, but not both, probably a lot of unmerging and more research needs to be done. Also, a lot less guessing. There are hundreds of John Alcock's in England during the 16th century. | Alcock, John (I143784)

| 2115 | John Alden was born in England about 1599 and died 12 September 1687 at the age of 88 or 89 Duxbury, Plymouth, Massachusetts.. He was a cooper by trade and hired on as a "Mayflower" crew member in that capacity at Southampton. The conditions of employment permitted him to either remain in America or return as a crew member to England. He chose to remain in the New World. He was one of the forty one signers of the Mayflower Compact. About 1623, John Alden married Priscilla Mullins. Her parents had died in the general sickness of that first winter at Plymouth. About 1632 they moved to nearby Duxbury. In 1653 they moved into a second house which is still standing (105 Alden Street) and maintained by the Alden Kindred of America, Inc. An excavation in 1960 revealed the location of the original house, about 300 yards away. John Alden served in many public service capacities over the years, including assistant to he Governor and twice as Deputy Governor. John and Priscilla had 10 children. There is some speculation that there was an 11th child, but only 10 have been verified through the extensive research of land records, wills and probates. Descendants from John Alden has been proven through eight of them: Elizabeth, John, Joseph, Rebecca, Ruth, Sarah, Jonathan, and David. Little is known about the other children, Priscilla, and Mary. It is not known when Priscilla died, but perhaps she was still living as of 1685. John died on 12 September, 1687, the last survivor of those who signed the historic Mayflower Compact. John Alden (1599 - 1687) is said to be the first passenger of the Mayflower to set foot on Plymouth Rock in 1620. He was a ship-carpenter by trade and a cooper for the Mayflower, that was usually docked at Southampton. He was also one of the founders of the Plymouth Colony and the seventh signer of the Mayflower Compact. Distinguished for practical wisdom, integrity and decision, he acquired and retained a commanding influence over his associates. Employed in public business he became the Governor's Assistant, the Duxbury Deputy to the General Court of Plymouth, a member under arms of Capt. Miles Standish's Duxbury Company, a member of Council of War, Treasurer of Plymouth Colony, and Commissioner to Yarmouth. John Alden had settled with the Pilgrims in the Plymouth Colony, though not a pilgrim himself. He was hired to repair "The Mayflower" while she lay at Southampton, England. Without any religous motives, John decided to journey when she set sail, perhaps with the hope of being prosperous in the New World, or because he wished to follow Priscilla Mullens.[5] John wasn't the only man who had fallen for Priscilla. John's friend, military Captain Miles Standish had come to love the Maiden throughout the long voyage of 1620. A love triangle ensued with the result of John ultimately winning Priscilla's heart.[6] They married on May 12, 1622. The Captain, as it turns out, engaged in a campaign against rivaling Indians who plotted to kill newcomers.From 1633 until 1675 he was assistant to the governor of the colony, frequently serving as acting governor and also sat on many juries, including one of the two witch trials in the Plymouth Colony. In 1634 Alden was jailed, in Boston, for a fight at Kenebeck in Maine between members of the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. While Alden did not take part in the fight (which left one person dead) he was the highest ranking member the Massachusetts Bay colonists could get their hands on, and it was only through the intervention of Bradford that he was eventually released. In later years Alden became known for his intense dislike of the Quakers and Baptists, who were trying to settle on Cape Cod. A letter survives complaining that Alden was too strict when it came to dealing with them. John Alden was the last male survivor of the signers of the Mayflower Compact of 1620, and with the exception of Mary Allerton, he was the last survivor of the Mayflower's company. He died at Duxbury on September 12, 1687. Both he and his wife Priscilla lie buried in the Miles Standish Burial Ground. The Alden residence is also in Duxbury, on the north side of the village, on a farm which is still in possession of their descendants of the seventh generation. He made no will, having distributed the greater part of his estate among his children during his life time. John Alden's House was built in 1653 and is open to the public as a museum. It is run by the Alden Kindred of America, an organization which provides historical information about him and his home, including genealogical records of his descendants. John and Priscilla had the following children who survived to adulthood: Elizabeth, John (accused during the Salem witch trials), Joseph, Priscilla, Jonathan, Sarah, Ruth, Mary, Rebecca, and David. They have the most descendants today of all the pilgrim families. There are several theories regarding Alden's ancestry. According to William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation, he was hired as a cooper in Southampton, England just before the voyage to America. In The English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers, Charles Edward Banks suggested that John was the son of George and Jane Alden and grandson of Richard and Avys Alden of Southampton. However, there are no further occurrences of the names George, Richard, and Avys in his family which would have been unusual in the seventeenth century. Another theory is that John Alden came from Harwich, England where there are records of an Alden family who were related by marriage to Christopher Jones, the Mayflower's captain. In this case, he may have been the son of John Alden and Elizabeth Daye. Notable descendants include: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Ichabod Alden, Orson Welles, Dan Quayle, Raquel Welch, Frank Nelson Doubleday, Samuel Eliot Morison, Gamaliel Bradford, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Herbert Henry Dow, Martha Graham, Adlai Stevenson III, Jan Garrigue Masaryk, Dick Van Dyke, Julia Child, William Cullen Bryant, John Trumbull, Ned Lamont, Matt Hasselbeck and Marilyn Monroe. -- Passengers of the Mayflower by Caleb Johnson From findagrave Birth: 1598 Harwich, England Death: Sep. 12, 1687 South Duxbury Plymouth County Massachusetts, USA American Colonial Figure. One of the charter members of the Plymouth Colony in America, he arrived on the first voyage of the "Mayflower". At the time of the sailing of the vessel in 1620 for America, he was about twenty-one years old. William Bradford, second governor of the colony, wrote that John Alden was "hired for a cooper, at South Hampton (England), where the ship victualed (brought on food for the voyage); and being a hopeful young man, was much desired, but left to his own liking to go or stay when he came here; but he stayed and married here." His trade of cooper (barrel maker) was one of the vital trades needed by the colonists. John married fellow Mayflower pilgrim Priscilla Mullins, about 1623, but the exact date has been lost to history. He became one of the Purchasers and Undertakers for the colony, serving also as Assistant in the Colony government, Deputy Governor, Colony Treasurer, and a member of the committee in charge of revising laws. He was one of the founders of Duxbury, Massachusetts, and owned several pieces of property. Although he died without a will, an inventory of his property at the time of his death was taken in November 1687. A legend of a rivalry between himself and pilgrim Miles Standish for Priscilla Mullins arose, and was first published in the book, "Collection of American Epitaphs and Inscriptions" in 1814, by Timothy Alden. The story was popularized by the poem, "The Courtship of Miles Standish" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1858, however, there is no documentation of such a rivalry to have existed in any of the records of the Plymouth Colony.

| 2118 | JOHN ASHMAN The Patriarch 1823-1909 John Ashman was the eldest son of John Ashman and Elizabeth Arnold and was born February 7, 1823 in the West Cliff Parish of Dover, Kent, England overlooking the White Cliffs of Dover. He was the sixth child in a large family, and early in life learned the trade of masonry eventually also becoming a painter and plasterer. He was described as short in stature, with blue eyes, black hair, and a graying beard. John’s father was also John Ashman born about 1791. His mother Elizabeth, was born November 20, 1793 in Lydden, Kent, England. She lived to be 93 and was described in the 1881 census as a charwoman and a widow. She died October 20, 1887 in Dover, Kent, England. Young John joined the army for four years and was stationed in Leeds where he met Ann Wild. They were married on November 18, 1844 in Islington, Middlesex, England. Ann was born April 25, 1826 in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Her parents were Thomas Wild and Sarah Rushworth. John and Ann had seven children, but the youngest two girls died in infancy. Our grandfather, John Thomas was their only son. All their children were born in England. John and Ann became interested in the Church when the missionaries came, particularly Reuben A. McBride of Fillmore. John became convinced of the truth of the Gospel when he had a vision in which he saw a man standing in a very bright light holding a book in each hand. He was convinced it was the Bible and the Book of Mormon. He was a lay minister and when he began preaching some of the principles of the Mormon church in a sermon, the congregation became enraged, and a mob chased him until he was able to hide in a cemetery (one story says he jumped into a freshly dug grave) and stayed the long cold night. John was baptized March 5, 1851 by John H. Jarvis and confirmed by Robert Q. Menzies. Ann was opposed to the church initially, but at last consented to baptism the following year, October 19, 1852. John Brook baptized her and Elder Jason Horton confirmed her. Their two oldest children, Ann Elizabeth and Harriet were baptized August 30, 1856. John became a leader of the church, becoming President of the Failsworth, Lancaster Branch. John Ashman even had a letter appear in the Millennial Star regarding his missionary work. “I take this opportunity to inform you that since I left Burmingham I baptized five people in this branch…..our prospects for the increase of this branch are encouraging. I have distributed some hand bills containing the prophecies of Joseph Smith, concerning the present American war and they have been productive in the work….I rejoice in the privilege of laboring in the vineyard, and see the honest in heart obey the Gospel.” (signed John Ashman) The family worked hard for eleven years to get ready to go to Zion. Harriet and Ann Elizabeth both worked in the cotton mill as children until they left. In fact, the family moved often from mill town to mill town living near London, Leeds, and Manchester. Ann was reluctant to leave England, but John felt if one child went ahead, that would encourage Ann. They had saved enough to send one person and along with a $40 loan from the Perpetual Emigration Fund, the family was able to send Ann Elizabeth first at age 16. She accompanied Elder McBride who had first taught them the gospel. She would be able to live in Fillmore with his family. She finally arrived on the John J. Boyd at Castle Gardens, New York on June 1, 1862. Castle Gardens, was called the “Emigrant Home”. They then traveled by steamboat to Albany, NY, across to Niagara Falls and then they traveled to Detroit, and then Chicago. They went on the Mississippi to Hannibal, and by railroad to St. Joseph Missouri and then by steamboat the 250 miles up the Missouri River to Florence, Nebraska. Finally they were taken by teamsters across the plains. On her trip to Utah she met Abraham Carling, one of the young teamsters, and they were married on their arrival in Salt Lake. She worried about paying back her Perpetual Emigration Fund loan, but Abe paid it for her. Ann became anxious to get to Zion to be with her daughter and asked for money from her rich uncle to help send the rest of the family, but he told her if it were for anything else he would give it to her, but if it took her to Utah and Brigham Young, he would not lend her any. John said not to worry, “The Lord will open the way.” A short time later in 1863, her bachelor uncle passed away and their inheritance allowed them to finally take the rest of their family to Zion. They finally sailed on the Monarch of the Sea. 974 Saints, one of the largest groups ever to sail left Liverpool with the Saints singing as they wept, “My Native Land I Love Thee” and “Ye Elders of Israel”-they were certainly going to the “mountains of Ephraim to dwell.” They arrived in New York June 3, 1864 and unlike Ann Elizabeth’s long trek via steamboat, etc. they went by train to Wyoming, Nebraska the new outfitting station for the treks west. The church would send out teamsters from Utah to drive the Saints west. Newton McBride was their teamster and he drove a team of mules rather than oxen. They traveled across the plains in the John R. Murdock Company, walking the whole way as the wagons brought their supplies. One of the girls remembered when their shoes wore out, they walked barefoot and it was not uncommon to see blood in the footprints on the sand. John Thomas got Rocky Mountain Fever, but recovered. They arrived in the Salt Lake Valley August 26, 1864 and were met at the Tithing Office by members with an abundance of food. Then they were off to Fillmore to the waiting arms of Ann Elizabeth, her husband and, their first grandchild, John. The Ashman family then settled in Fillmore. John bought property across from the Carlings, and because the area was so rocky he built a home from the rock. The children helped built a rock wall as well. This lovely two story home built in 1868 reflects his skill as a mason, with its long side porch and five gables. Even though today it has a coat of stucco it is still considered one of the beautiful old homes of the area. John continued in his occupation of plasterer and painter. He was said to be able to whitewash a large room before breakfast. Whitewash was a way to brighten up rooms that had no fancy paint or wallpaper. One time Ann wanted some color so he put some berries in the paint and she had a pink room. John also served on the School board and was General Chairman of the Fillmore 50th Anniversary Celebration. John also ran a freight business taking goods to Nevada to sell. Coming back with was always dangerous as there were many robbers in the area. John was stopped one time by the well known robber Ben Tasker. He and his companions searched and searched but could not find the gold and silver John had hidden in the bottom of his water barrel. Jovial soul he was, John talked and joked with them, and before they left he had even traded horses with them. John was considered a jolly, loveable Englishman, always singing as he worked. In fact, the whole family loved to sing-Ann had a lovely voice and always sang in the choir. He was a leader of boys and in 1868 called to be the President of the Deacons ultimately teaching every boy in town. When he joined the Church, John smoked a pipe, (this was before the Word of Wisdom) and when he was called as President, the Bishop mentioned how he needed a good man to be an example to the boys, a man who didn’t smoke, and one the boys could respect, but he wasn’t telling John to quit smoking. At home John hung his pipe over the fireplace and told Ann he would see if he could resist it. After two weeks he told her to burn the pipe. John was always trying to find interesting ways to teach his deacons and it sometimes included singing to them. Their favorite song was an old English one about a crocodile swallowing a man, and the man’s determination but ever failing efforts to get out of the crocodile. His dramatic gestures always got generous applause. He served in the church his whole life and in 1895 was made Patriarch of Millard Stake. He and Allen Russell traveled all over the area and he gave hundreds of blessings. One time he even gave a blessing with a prophecy to Alonzo Hinckley that he would someday be an apostle. Brother Hinckley never told anyone until the day he was sustained as an apostle. John Ashman took three other wives in plural marriage. Lydia Tye and John were married October 18, 1875. She was born June 3, 1825 in Cranford, Northhampshire, England and died June 7, 1909 Her parents were John Tye and Esther Askew. John also married Batilda Nielsen and Jane Ingles. An old family story says that when they came to arrest John for polygamy, they decided that one of the wives was so ugly that was enough punishment. John died April 27, 1909 in Fillmore and was buried there. Ann had preceded him in death, dying March 12, 1906.

| 2119 | John Babcock was born 11 Nov 1842 in Nauvoo, Hancock County. His parents were Reodolphus and Jerusha Babcock. John was the 4th son of 8 children. He was five years old when the family left for Winter Quarters, Nebraska in 1847. There they joined the great Mormon migration westward under the leadership of Brigham Young, in the spring of 1847. John rode his pet donkey most of the way across the plains. He awoke one morning to find that it had died. This was a great sorrow to him and to his brother Albern. He and the other small boys of the camp also took turns riding an old cannon that had been rooted out of the ground near Nauvoo, by an old pig and her young. This cannon now stands in the museum, located on the Temple Grounds in Salt Lake City. The family arrived in the valley on 29 Sep 1847 in the Abraham O. Smoot Company and used their wagon as a home. John’s mother died 25 Sep 1850 from consumption which she had contracted because of the hardships she had suffered when the Saints were driven from their homes, beaten and robbed and also from the privations while at Winter Quarters. John grew up learning to farm, helping his father and going to school when it was possible. His father, Reodolphus (Adolphus), was the first to introduce alfalfa in the state of Utah. John married Harriet Persis McKee (daughter of Thomas McKee and Persis Moore Sweat) on 26 Feb 1869 in the Salt Lake Endowment House. On one occasion while peddling the products of his orchard and farm to mining camps, in Peoche, Nevada he slipped off his wagon and broke his arm. The people thought he was in need of money, started a subscription for him and raised a considerable amount of money. He refused to accept it saying, “I think you are in need of money more than myself, I have ample money for my needs.” It was a common occurrence for the settlers who lived out and away from the settlement to be on constant guard, in case of a sudden Indian attack. All during the Black Hawk War, he stood guard at night and worked in the day time, which was the duty of all the able body men of the community, to protect the women and children, for which (after his death) his widow would receive a pension. There were many nights when it was necessary to flee from their home and seek protection in the settlement. John and Harriet raised a family of 10 children while on the farm, moving to Spanish Fork when their children became old enough to attend school. He built a two-story brick home on a lot given to him by his father. This house was the first brick home in Spanish Fork. For several years they followed the practice of moving to the farm in the summer and returning to town in the winter for school purposes. John and Harriet were very kind and especially generous to the poor, and gave aid to the emigrants who needed assistance after coming to Utah. His death came at the early age of 45 years of pneumonia in 1888. He left his wife Harriet (35 years old) and 10 children. She never remarried but devoted her life to rearing their children and caring for the home that he left her. She died at the age of 78 on 5 Jan 1930. | Babcock, John (I74907)

| 2125 | John Floyd Young, desiring to know for himself the true character of the leaders of the LDS church, set out at the age of 21 with the famous Johnston's Army, being hired as a teamster. He obtained a furlough and was baptized in Holliday, Salt Lake City, by Bishop David P. Rainey (also given name as A. P. Ramey) on August 18, 1858. He returned to Virginia and married Nancy Emeline Pritchett. While in the army, he worked in a munitions works as a private in the Confederate Army, but this was not by choice. Due to being near the dividing line of the North and South, the Youngs had to fight for the South. He was in Company K, 60th Regiment of Virginia and the last Muster Roll shows him as a prisoner at Winchester, Virginia on September 19, 1864. The Union Prisoner of War records shows his capture on that date and his release on June 22, 1864 at Point Loukout, Maryland, taking the oath of allegiance to the U.S. John Floyd Young took his family in a government supply train, working as a teamster, and crossed the plains. They arrived in Salt Lake City, taking 115 days, and for a short time lived in Cottonwood. Brigham Young then called him to help colonize in the Sanpete county at Fairview, Utah. John Floyd Young 1836 - 1881 The Young family came from near Edinburgh Scotland. John was born the 10 February 1836. He received all the education possible and taught school. During the Civil War he was in service in the munitions plant of the Confederate Army. He was not a rebel by choice, but being just south of the dividing line had to be with the Confederates. They lived on the North fork of the Holston River, Rich Valley, Smyth County, Virginia. John Floyd married Nancy Emmeline Pritchett 2 Nov 1859 in Smyth County, Virginia. John Floyd joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1858. Nancy joined in 1861. They immigrated to Utah after their 3rd child was born. He went west to Utah with Johnson’s army as a teamster in 1857. This gave him an opportunity to observe the Mormons in close contact, and he was fully converted and baptized by A. P Ramey in 1858 near Salem Utah. The Youngs had a lot of property in and on the advice of John Floyd’s father; they prepared to migrate to Utah. Before they crossed the lines to Ohio, the bushwhackers deprived them of their teams and wagons and also their equipment and they were forced to walk over the mountain until they hired an old mountaineer to take them on their way. They arrived on the Ohio River in the winter. John Floyd worked for Buckhorn Tanning Co. In the spring of 1865 they took a boat down the Ohio and up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, arriving at Wyoming Boat landing in Nebraska. From this point they hired a teamster and they went with a company of 60 wagons with 6 yolk of oxen to the wagon. The Indians made two attempts at raiding the wagon train. They circled the corral but never attacked. Huge herds of buffalo were often seen. They arrived in Salt Lake City 113 days from Missouri in the fall of 1867. They lived first in Halliday. Brigham Young called him to help colonize in the Sanpete County at Fairview. John Floyd Young was a very hard worker. The old stone home is still standing in Fairview, UT. John Floyd was well-respected and taught school, freighted and farmed. They had 16 children. Nancy died 11 Jul 1884 in Fairview, Sanpete, Utah. He married Francis Marion Keeth 18 June 1885 in Logan. Four sons were born to them, only one survived to adulthood. John Floyd Young died 20 January 1891 leaving 2 small sons and a pregnant wife.

| 2130 | John Hilton was born in Woodruff, AZ and moved to Berkeley, CA in his infancy. John grew up in a big city delivering newspapers, riding streetcars, but also spending much time hiking and camping in the Oakland and Berkeley hills which were then a wilderness. The only unexpected part of his childhood was that he couldn't learn to read. He seemed bright enough, absorbed all sorts of information, could understand arithmetic, but could not read. His parents took him for intelligence testing, and the results showed he was capable of college prep high school and college courses. Dyslexia didn't have a name then, but when he was 14 or 15 his mother took him in hand, tutoring him with old fashioned phonics and he learned to read very adequately. John was baptized and advanced normally in the priesthood. He loved primary and Sunday school classes because at church, unlike school, he always knew the answers. He also built a ham radio shack and learned old fashion vacuum tube electronics as a hobby. John received his Eagle Scout award when he was seventeen, a major highlight of his life. After graduating early from high school, John enlisted in the navy and was sent to radar school in Chicago. Eventually he was assigned to a seaplane tender, USS San Carlos, sailed to Panama and patrolled in the Caribbean area. He was seasick most of the time when at sea, and rejoiced when the war was over and he was discharged. The immoral lives of most of his sailor associates made him eager to return to an atmosphere of righteousness and he eagerly enrolled as a freshman at BYU at age 19. It was here he met the lovely Jan Fenn from Gallup, NM. The courtship of John and Jan was cut short by John’s departure to Brazil to serve a full time mission for two and a half years when there was but one mission and 425 partially active members in the entire nation.. With no training Portuguese was not easy to learn. Through hard work and miracles, John learned the language, to love the Brazilian people, and taught the gospel which started the spiritual boom Brazil has today. Meanwhile, Jan was in school and taught first grade the next year at an Indian School. John said that the greatest blessing from his mission was that Jan was still around when he returned. They were married in the Arizona Temple, August 7, 1950. In September they were both in school again at BYU. Jan was a senior and John a sophomore. They worked their way through college and their first child. They moved the Albuquerque where they lived for five years. John worked at Sandia for five years mostly on classified programs but he did publicly receive several patents. In December 1957, John took employment at Aerojet Nucleonics, in San Ramon, CA, and they built a home in Walnut Creek, CA where we lived for thirty years. John worked on the H-Bomb and fusion energy for 12 years and then worked for the Cyclotron Corporation in Berkeley, developing a high energy neutron generator for radiation therapy which was helpful in the treatment of a number of cancers. Perhaps their greatest accomplishment was raising eight righteous children in the Bay Area in the 60's and 70's. All eight were good scholars, many were highly gifted in music, and most importantly all loved the Lord, four served missions and all married in the temple. In 1980 John became intensely interested in a computer study of author attribution called word prints, learning how to do computer programming and statistics as by products. When their youngest child was married in August of 1988, the week of her wedding, they sold their home without putting it on the market, resigned from the school board, and accepted an invitation to come to the Statistics Department at BYU where John worked as an adjunct professor concentrating on word print research, with a primary focus on the Book of Mormon. In this work John was able to show much internal verification in the Book of Mormon as well as many secular writings. During their Provo years John and Jan traveled twice to Mexico and Guatemala doing Book of Mormon geographical research; they also traveled to as tourists to Russia. On March 12, 2000 John unexpectedly died of cardiac arrest; he had been fighting colon cancer prior to that. Jan reported that “Joy was possible only because of the sure knowledge or the resurrection and exaltation in the Kingdom of God.” | Hilton, John Levi (I132635)

| 2132 | John Hugh Hilton was born in Salt Lake City on November 17, 1857. His father, Hugh, was absent at the time because of an assignment to ride with Lot Smith in their efforts to inhibit the progress of Johnston's army. After an arrangement had been made with The Army all the Saints moved from Salt Lake to Lehi and John Hugh, at age five months, was among that group. They continued to reside in Lehi until John was about five years old. At that time they were called to move to Utah's "Dixie" and establish a new community on the Virgin River. The purpose of this calling was to raise cotton, and this effort came to be known as the "Cotton Mission". John had only a limited chance at an education. School was held only during the winter months. The people were poor because of pioneering in this far-off land. The teachers, except those residing locally, were paid in farm produce. Also they "boarded round" with the families who had children in school. His entire schooling occupied not more than eight or ten months altogether. Furnishings in the schools were very crude. Benches and tables were made of rough lumber, without backrests and with pegs for legs. Students bought their own books, pencil, slates, etc. They raised all the fruit they used, and even sold some. They raised sugar cane and had molasses made at one of the molasses mills, paying for it with some of the cane. They also raised cotton and his mother made it into cloth. She would card, spin, and dye it, and make clothes for the family. They also had chickens, hogs and cows. They had two city lots and a farm of about eight acres. They had pickets of cedar and pole fences around their home and farm. They had to haul their drinking water in a barrel on a sled from the Virgin River, some 300 yards from their home. He remembers as a boy, when his father had built a one roomed log house, that a large sack of hard sugar was stored in the tent and he used to sneak in and break pieces off to eat. As a small boy, John’s work consisted of helping on the farm, riding after the stock and herding sheep, and when older he worked on the ditch and mill race, built and owned by his father and Alexander Wright. They had built a flour mill soon after going to Virgin City. His father also had a cotton gin and some cattle. At 15 years of age, since his father's health began to fail and he was the oldest at home, he had to do much of the work, especially with the cattle. His father died in 1873, and his mother in 1875. The older brother Charles died two weeks before his mother. The future looked very dark to the three orphan boys who were left alone. The Parker family was called to Dixie about the same time the Hiltons were. John Parker and Maria Jackson Normington Parker had one daughter, Maria. She was married at nineteen to John Hugh in the Saint George Temple. John was away, riding the range for the Kolob herd, much of the time until he was married. His occupation interfered rather seriously with his being regular in attendance or service, but he tried to attend to his duties when possible. After he was married, he went upon call to some of the nearby wards to do missionary work. He usually went with some of the older men; he did not make very long sermons but tried to give them something worth thinking about. He was often called upon to sing at parties and sometimes sang duets with his brother Joseph's wife, Nellie. John Hugh made his living by farming and tending cattle; he had many adventures as a cowboy. He had many talents and participated in singing and drama and had a great sense of humor which helped lift the spirits during those early pioneering days. He was known as an expert horseman with an uncanny ability with the lariat. His father owned quite a few cattle, and almost from the time when he was big enough he went out, especially in the spring and summer, to ride after cattle. After the Kolob herd was organized, he was hired to ride for cattle. The high mountain range was above and immediately north of Zion's Canyon. He was later made superintendent. When the organization broke up, various individuals drew out their shares of cattle and sold them to buyers who came in from Colorado and California. Some of the cattle could not be gathered because of the roughness of the country, and consequently became very wild. These naturally reduced the profits of the organization. After the organization dissolved, they paid all stockholders off in the cattle that could be gathered. John and his brother-in-law Richard bid in auction for the brand and got it. They gathered quite a few of these wild cattle, sold as many as they could and let the rest go. He had many very thrilling and dangerous experiences during his life as a cowboy. These cattle were very fleet of foot, good runners, and would fight at the drop of the hat, as the saying goes. They always carried a long lasso, and it takes practice and experience to know how to use one-and more so when on a horse. Their roping was always done while in the saddle, and the horn used for snubbing. A number of horses were hooked and crippled by these cattle. They all had long, sharp horns, and they knew how to use them. One day they had roped and tied down a number of cattle on Smith's flats, and they would bring down a bunch of gentle cattle around to where they were tied, untie them and stop them up with the gentle ones. A bad cow, mad as she could be, was there. John had her tail between her hind legs, and Richard was untying her. Richard was going to put his rope on her legs and go to his horse and hold her until John could get on his horse. But just as he had everything loose the cow made a lunge and the whole bush of her tail broke off. The cow sprang to her feet and she came after Richard. About a hundred yards away was a very small bushy cedar. He made for that and the cow was right at his heels. When he reached the little cedar, he went round and round, and the cow following. John ran for his horse and delivered him as he was about all in. Another time John and Richard were trying to corral a bunch of wild cattle. Richard had his rope and a big, wild, sharp-horned steer. The cinch of his saddle was quite loose, and he couldn't handle the steer-the steer stopped and appeared to be standing with his eyes shut. Just at the time he had the saddle uncinched, and it was impossible for him to get back on the horse, the steer opened his eyes and made for him. He left my horse and ran with the steer close at his heels. He could feel his horns rubbing on his back when he came to a little gully about the size of a plow furrow. He plunged into it full length, with the steer bellowing and trying to get his horns into him. His fears were that he would be trampled on, but as this was going on John Hilton came around a point and saw the situation. He came with all speed, picked up his rope which he had on the steer and put it to his saddle horn and pulled the steer away from his friend. Another time John and Richard were chasing a big, black steer. The steer made for a dry wash. It had ledges on both sides and a narrow crevice through the ledge where the trail went through. Just before the steer entered this opening John threw his rope and caught him and put it to the horn. John, by this time, was close to the ledge about eight or ten feet high, and the steer running down a steep mountain, and the rope tightened and John and the horse were pulled over the ledge. Richard was expecting to see John and the horse both killed, but to his surprise John was sitting on his horse and neither were hurt, but the steer, rope and all, continued on down the mountainside. They got the steer and rope in the round up a day or two later. John often amused his children by reciting the thrilling experiences through which he passed. He would often "sing them to sleep" when they were little. He farmed, tended cattle, carried the mail from Rockville to Silver Reef for four years, etc, but the river had washed away so much of their land that it seemed necessary to move to a new home where they could have more opportunity to make a living for their large family. They sold their home for $1,000, taking pay in cattle, a white topped buggy, and $25.00 in cash. They moved to Abraham, in Millard County, Utah. Richard Parker and his family went with them. They bought a lot in the newly surveyed town-site at Abraham and bargained for a 40-acre farm some two miles distant. At first they continued to live in their covered wagon and one room they rented. They also purchased a tent. They were the first family to move onto the new townsite, where they lived in their tent and wagon until their new brick home was completed with a low loft. Many of their cattle died from eating poison weeds, and most of the others were lost in the heavy winters and from the effects of winters and from the effects of eating the poor salt grass where they ranged them on the lower Sevier river. These were real pioneering years, and they experienced many hardships and discouragements. He tried to do his duty, and work hard, and be honest. They were blessed in many ways. He always paid a full tithing and kept his word as good as his bond. In 1910 they built a four-room brick house in Hinckley and moved from Abraham after ten difficult years there, trying to cope with pests, weeds, adverse weather, and finally alkali. Also, educational opportunities would be much better in Hinckley since the Church had just started to build a new Academy there. Because of trouble with hay fever, he was not able to live in his home in Hinckley for some years, so he went to Salt Lake, where he worked in the Temple. He also lived in California for several years and in Mesa, where he also worked in the Temple, and on March 2, 1934, was married to Caroline Blair. In 1936 they moved to Salt Lake, and in 1938 to Fillmore. | Hilton, John Hugh (I110810)

| 2134 | JOHN JEFFORD ASHBY John was just a baby on the “day of the Nauvoo battle” when his parents, along with other Latter Day Saints, were driven by the mob from their pleasant homes in the city of Nauvoo and forced to face the unknown wilderness west. His father was ill when they left and died a few days later. He was buried on the plains near Bonaparte, Iowa September 1846. After some weeks of travel by ox team and covered wagon they reached Winter Quarters, Nebraska. Here the family had a log cabin built in exchange for a yoke of oxen. They were fortunate to have brought with them a sheet iron stove by which they were able to keep warm through that bitter cold winter. During the time at Winter Quarters John’s mother married Joseph B. Noble. John Jefford Ashby was born 9 December 1845 in Nauvoo, Esex Co., Illinois and was the youngest of twelve children born to Nathanial and Susan Hammond Ashby. He had brown eyes and dark brown hair. His brothers and sisters , all born in Salem, Massachusetts, were: Robert Reed, born 17 August 1827; Benjamine, born 19 December 1828; Susan Ann, born 1 February 1830; Elisabeth Rebecca, born 19 May 1831; Martha Ellen, born 20 August 1832; Harriet Marie, born 8 April 1834; Nathaniel, born 25 May 1835; Richard H., born 26 December 1836; William H., born 16 July 1839; Mary Jane, born 20 October 1841; Emma Smith, born 14 March 1843. After much preparation the family traveled on to Utah with the Erastus Snow Company and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley September 10, 1848. Here they lived in a room of the Joseph Noble home at the old fort. A baby girl was born to Susan and Mr. Noble on 13 December 1849. She was named Lousia Adline. Taking care of Bro. Noble’s three motherless children together with her own seven who were at home proved too much for her strength and Susan died May 15, 1851. John Jefford then went to live with his sister, Susan Ashby Stringham. At a very young age John’s commanding nature began to show, for marching across the floor he would say, “I’m Chief” and motioning with his hands repeat, “I tell you I’m Chief!” One thing John remembered about his mother was the time she successfully bandaged his three cut fingers. He and his sister Emma were playing in a large pile of ashes which had been hardened by the storms. They were digging and cutting back in the pile to make houses. Emma was using a small hatchet when she accidentally came down on John’s fingers. They were cut through and hanging by the skin. His mother calmly took him into the house, sat him on the table and bandaged up the fingers. The fingers grew back and only small scars were left. John often played with Brigham Young’s boys. One day, because there was to be a children’s dance, John felt he should have his hair curled. This was done by braiding small strands of hair and tying the ends with white thread. After his hair was all fixed he went out to play with the young children. Dinner was called and the children, including John, went into eat. As the meal proceeded Brigham noticed all the little girls tittering and laughing. As he glanced around the table he noticed John with the little pig-tail braids in his hair, then he had to smile amusedly also. John was able to go to school only about three or four terms. Nevertheless, because of his very studious nature, he became self-educated. When he grew older he worked for his brother-in-law, Bryant Stringham, taking care of Church cattle on Antelope Island. Horses were kept on the island, thus the colts grew up very wild. John, with other boys, would herd them into corrals and break them to riding. Later they were tied down tight in boats which carried them across the lake to the city. During one trip a horse got loose. John had to hang over the side of the boat by his toes and fasten ropes across and underneath the boat to secure the horse so they could finish the trip safely. The old horses were fattened, killed and boiled in huge containers to render the fat, which was used to grease harnesses. When just a youth, John was a member of the Utah Militia and also served as scout and pony express man in the Black Hawk Indian War of Central Utah in 1865. On one occasion Homer Roberts and John were sent with a message from one part of the army to the other. It was a very dark night. The path was very narrow and rough, but they had to rush their horses along. They were riding single file when suddenly down plunged John and his horse into a spring. They jumped quickly out of the way of Homer and the oncoming horse. Luckily neither horses nor men were injured. John, with other boys, was sent down to Holden in Millard County to round up cattle, select and brand some and take them back to Antelope Island. Often in the evening, after the work was finished for the day, the boys gathered at a swing near the home of Caroline Felshaw Stevens (this was in the old fort at Cedar Springs, later named Holden). A lot of fun was had here for girls gathered at the swing also. Here John met the girl of his dreams. She was Susannah Felshaw, a sister of Mrs. Stevens. At this time she was about 15 years old, had beautiful wavy hair and gray eyes. She was staying with her sister and helped her brother-in-law, David Stevens, milk cows and churn butter. John often came and helped with these chores. Then he would drink his fill of good old buttermilk. Most of the time Susannah lived with her parents in Filmore. She and her twin sister were born 8 February 1851 at Galands Grove, Pottawatamie County, Iowa. Their parents were William and Mary Harriet Gilbert Felshaw. Susannah continued going to school until she was eighteen then John persuaded her to go to Salt Lake City and stay with his folks to get acquainted. She stayed with his sister during the winter and attended a private school. The following fall John and Susannah were married in the Old Endowment House in Salt Lake City on 15 November 1869. They were sealed by Daniel H. Wells. Their first home was on the church farm where John’s brother lived in a sort of long house with several rooms. They occupied one good-sized room and lean-to-kitchen where the cooking was done. Later they moved to Holden as John was still handling the church livestock. Here he bought land from the church and took up some dry farm land. Because John had a desire to help young people he, with the help of Ebenezer Tanner and William Robert Jr., organized a Young Peoples Improvement Association in Holden before the Mutual Improvement Association was organized in the Church. It was a good organization. However, they did have a problem with people getting to the meetings on time, which they solved by starting whether the majority was there or not. Susannah and John both took part in drama. They were very good for amateurs, both at acting and singing. After six children were born to them John was called on a mission. Following is a copy of a note he made of his mission: “Having been called to take a mission to the United States at the general conference held in Salt Lake City October 6, 1883, I left the city on the 16th of October and proceeded to the State of Indiana where I labored about one month when I was assigned to the State of Illinois where I labored in the counties of Brown, Adams, and Pike till the 16th of October 1884. I again returned to Indiana and labored there until the 1st of December. When I received my release to go to Massachusetts to carry the gospel to my relatives and get the genealogy of my family and return to Utah.” He told of some experiences he had while on his mission. On one occasion he was shown a chapter, book and verse to quote to some individuals to convince them of the truth. These were shown to him in letters of bronze about two inches high over the page he looking upon. Another time he was speaking at a meeting where a minister in the audience was heckling him and remarked that John had gotten a certain quotation from his Mormon Bible. John went down where he was sitting and showed him that the bible he was quoting from was the same as that used by all churches, the Saint James translation. The audience then hooted the minister to shame for not knowing what was in his own bible. The Ashbys lived in Holden until 1890 then moved to Loss Creek, Sevier County, east of Aurora. Shortly before this John had gone to St. George to do the temple work for the names he had gathered in the East. While there he met Louisa Perkins and married her as a second wife. Later John went to Salt Lake to work and Susannah and the children moved back to Holden. After about a year John left his second wife and came back to his family at Holden. He again moved them to Loss Creek where he owned 60 acres of land and about 40 head of cattle. They hadn’t been back long when John met with an accident. The colt he was riding suddenly reared and threw itself over sideways, causing John to fall. As he fell his neck struck hard sod and he suffered a broken neck. He died a few days later on September 17, 1893 and was buried at Aurora, Sevier County, Utah. Susannah worked on diligently and raised to adults six children. They had nine children: Hammond Felshaw, born 26 October 1870; John William, born 21 March 1873; Gilbert, born 2 December 1874; Sarah Lillian, born 13 July 1877; Mary Roszilla, born 18 May 1879; Julia Suzanna, born 7 April 1883; Luta Blanch, born 30 November 1885; Joseph Herbert, born 18 August 1888; and, Lola Vilate, born 5 September 1890. John and Lousia Perkins had no children. | Ashby, John Jefford (I83427)

| 2140 | John Smith was born March 31, 1820 at Newton, Mid Lothian, Scotland to Nicol and Beatrice Innis Smith. From early youth he was a coal miner. In Scotland, he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintes (1845) and married Sophia Fortune November 21, 1851 (later sealed in Endowment House in Salt Lake). With Children Isabella and NIcholas, they sailed from Liverpool December 7, 1854 aboard non-passenger ship 'Clara Wheeler', crowded with Henry E Phelps company of 101 adults and 170 children of Church members emigrating to Utah. They arrived at New Orleans January 11, 1855; sailed up the MIssissippi River to Gravois (East St. Louis), Illinois where John worked in a nearby coal mine 15 months to obtain funds for outfit to travel to Utah. He left Gravois May 7, 1856 arriving in Spanish Fork, Utah, October 6, 1856, to make their permanent home. The first winter they lived in a dugout; the second in a shelter of mud walls and mud-covered willow branches roof. It was 12 by 14 feet, 6 feet to the square with one foot below ground level. Walls were built of mud, and the roof was supported by ribs, or stringers, of green cottonwood, covered with willows and then dirt. The weight of the dirt made the roof sag, so that when it stormed the water would run into the house. Here, in mid-winter during a very wet season, with much water leaking into their house, their third child was born. John farmed but for several years grasshoppers and crickets got most of the crops. John was active in church and community affairs, served in the Home and Territorial Militias, and was a popular singer and poet. There were eight children. He died at Spanish Fork May 25, 1871. Sons of Utah Pioneers Ancestor Album Spanish Fork had been the habitat of the Ute Indians and this was their hunting and fishing area. The first settler was Enoch Reece who took up four hundred acres of land in the river bottoms near the Leland area. Some of his employees came to Spanish Fork during the fall of 1850 and spent the winter there taking care of Reece's cattle. About the same, John H. Redd came there bringing some negro slaves. In 1855, a city charter was granted and city officers were elected. The city encompassed, generally, the area from Springville on the north to POnd Town (Salem) on the south. The eastern border was the foothills of the east mountain and the western border was Utah Lake. The community was made up of settlers from the east and south parts of the US, from Canada, Scotland, England, Wales, and the Scandinavian countries. Two immigrants from Iceland came in 1855. Other Icelanders came later to establish in Spanish Fork what would be the largest Icelandic settlement outside of Iceland. Fort Saint Luke, which had been built in 1854 for protection against marauding Indians, was still located and being used at third wouth and Main street. A bowery had been built on the corner of the public square and a bridge had been built across the Spanish Fork river about a mile south of the city. There were a handful of homes built of lumber from Payson canyon, and there were perhaps a few adobe structures. The vast majority of residents were still living in dugouts and the city was referred to often as "Gopher Town". An Indian Farm, with a Federal agent, was located south of Spanish Fort river near the present town of Leland, an experiment in Indian affairs that was destined to failure. The Walker Indian War, which started in Springville over a trade of some fish for flour, had been settled and Chief Walker had died. There were, however, sporadic raids by Indians on a continuing basis. But perhaps the worst obstacle for those settlers was the grasshopper plague where millions of hoppers hatched in the spring of 1855 and devoured the young growing crops. It is said that 800 acres of crops were destroyed. Famine stared the settlers in the face. They obtained some bran and shorts from Fillmore, and with that, plus rations of pig weeds and fish, they were able to survive. About this same time the settlers discovered a saccharine substance on the leaves of trees along the Provo river which was carefully gathered, soaked in water and reduced to a brown sugar. It is not known how many people were residing in Spanish Fork when John and Sophia arrived. The city of Palmyra with a populatoin of about 400 was merged into Spanish Fork. Probably there were about a thousand residents. Into this city of poor people came John and Sophia. Not a very inviting situation for a man who had purchased fine, stylish clothing in St. Louis which he had hoped to sell in Utah.

| 2143 | John was born in Leesville, Lawrence, Indiana to Micajah and Rebecca Rawlston Poole. When he was about eight years old the family moved to the vicinity of Farmington, Iowa. A family by the name of Bleasdale worked on Micajah's farm. John married their daughter Jennette Bleasdale 1848 in Farmington, Van Buren, Iowa. He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in August of 1849 and in 1850 they journeyed by Ox team across the plains to Salt Lake City, Utah. During this journey there was a Cholera out break in the camp and John and their young daughter Mary Elizabeth were afflicted. John recovered but Mary passed away in June 1850 and was buried on the plains. In October 1856 John was one of the second group of wagon masters to go and help rescue members of the Martin Handcart Company. After many days of battling deep snow and below zero weather, they found the handcart company starving, and many were frozen to death. A young English woman named Jane Bitton and her brother, John Bitton and his wife Sarah were among those assigned to John Rawlston Poole's wagon. The Bitton's were taken into the Poole home, in Ogden, Utah and some months later John was married to Jane in 1857. In about 1862 Jane's parents, with her sister Harriett, came to Utah and to their daughter Jane's home. John married Harriett in 1863. John and his sons William, Wyatt, & Hyrum worked on the extension of the Utah and Northern Railroad and during the summer and fall of 1878 the grading of the railroad was completed to Eagle Rock (now Idaho Falls) and was continuing to Market Lake. While hunting east side of the Snake River he discovered fertile land, built some cabins and in 1879 John brought his families to the "Island" and settled what was known as Poole's Island (now Menan). John was the father of 28 children, 132 grand-children, and was a prominent civic and church leader in the Upper Snake River Valley. He died September 1894 in Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho from stomach cancer. Find a Grave | Poole, John Rawlston (I78212)

| 2145 | John Winslow is the son of Ed Winslow Sr. a passenger on the Mayflower. And the brother of Ed Winslow Jr. the Governor of the Colony. Ellen Jessie Frankland Gird is NOT his wife. She was born 230 years later. He arrived on the ship the Fortune in November of 1621 at Plymouth. CAUTION: Please read his sketch in "The Great Migration Begins," v. 3, P-W, 2027 that will help distinguish him and his wife from his brother Edward and from his son Edward. These people have been unfortunately mixed around and merged in error. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Husband of Mary Chilton (traditionally the first female pilgrim to touch Plymouth Rock) and brother of Edward Winslow (Mayflower passenger whose later marriage to Suzanna White was the first marriage in the new colony).

| 2150 | Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 - March 22, 1758) was an American revivalist preacher, philosopher, and Congregationalist Protestant theologian. Like most of the Puritans, he held to the Reformed theology. His colonial followers later distinguished themselves from other Congregationalists as "New Lights" (endorsing the Great Awakening), as opposed to "Old Lights" (non-revivalists). Edwards is widely regarded as "one of America's most important and original philosophical theologians". Edwards' theological work is broad in scope, but he was rooted in Reformed theology, the metaphysics of theological determinism, and the Puritan heritage. Recent studies have emphasized how thoroughly Edwards grounded his life's work on conceptions of beauty, harmony, and ethical fitness, and how central The Enlightenment was to his mindset. Edwards played a critical role in shaping the First Great Awakening, and oversaw some of the first revivals in 1733-1735 at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. Biography: Jonathan Edwards was born on October 5, 1703 and was the son of Timothy Edwards (1668-1759), a minister at East Windsor, Connecticut (modern day South Windsor), who eked out his salary by tutoring boys for college. His mother, Esther Stoddard, daughter of the Rev. Solomon Stoddard, of Northampton, Massachusetts, seems to have been a woman of unusual mental gifts and independence of character. Jonathan, their only son, was the fifth of 11 children. He was trained for college by his father and elder sisters, all of whom received an excellent education and one of whom, Esther, the eldest, wrote a semi-humorous tract on the immateriality of the soul, often mistakenly attributed to Jonathan. Jonathan Edzvards, born at East Windsor, Conn., October 5, 1703. " Everything points to him as a child of rare intellectual precocity. When not more than twelve yearS old, he wrote a letter refuting the idea of the materiality of the soul. At about the same time he wrote an elaborateand instructive account of the habits of the field spider, based upon his own observation." (Allen's Life of Jonathan Edwards.) " He entered Yale College in 171 6, and received the degree of A.B., 1720, a little before he was seventeen years old. In his second year at college, he read Locke on the ' Human Understanding ' with great delight and profit, though he made good progress in all the arts and sciences, and had an uncommon taste for Natural Philosophy, which he cultivated to the end of his life ; yet Moral philosophy and Divinity were his favorite studies. He hved at college two years after he took his degree, preparing for the work of the ministry. And being pitched upon and applied to by a number of ministers in New England, who were interested, to act in behalf of the English Presbyterians of New York, he complied with their request, and went to New York in August, 1722, and preached there to very good acceptance about eight months. He left them the next spring, and retired to his father's house, where he spent the summer in close study. In 1723, he received his degree of M.A. ; about which time he had invitations from several congregations to come among them ; but being chosen Tutor of Yale College, the next spring he retired thither, and remained about two years. While he was so engaged, he was applied to by the people of Northampton, with the invitation to come and settle there with his grandfather vStoddard, who, by reason of his great age, stood in need of assistance. He thereupon resigned his tutorship in September, 1726, and accepted the invitation, and was ordained colleague with Mr. Stoddard February 15, 1727. He remained in the work of the ministry to that ongregation until June 22, 1750, somewhat over twenty-three years." (Life of Mr. Edwards, Northampton, 1764.) On the 28th day of July, 1727, he married Sarah, daughter of the Rev. James and Mary Hooker Pierpont, of New Haven, Conn., the bride being seventeen years of age. She is spoken of as possessing rare beauty both of form and feature. She was descended from the Rev. Thomas Hooker, renowned as the father of the Connecticut churches. James Pierpont was an eminent divine, connected with Yale College in various capacities, fovuider, trustee, and Professor of Moral Philosophy. His father, John Pie'rpont, came to Roxbury, Mass., from Holme-Pierpont, in the County of Nottingham, England, and was the youngest of three sons oi Sir John Pierpont. At about the time of his marriage, JNIr. Edwards is described thus : " He was tall, upwards of six feet in height, slender, and of great seriousness and gravity of manner. His face bespeaks a delicate and nervous organization. The life he had set for himself was that of a student who would not allow his time to be frittered away by useless employment. He visited the people only in cases of necessity. Thirteen hours of study daily is said to have been his rule. His manner in the pulpit is described as quiet exceedingly, with little or no gesture ; a voice not loud, but distinct and penetrating," " Mrs. Edwards proved to be a woman of strong character, endowed with a natural religious enthusiasm, with a decidedly mystic bent to the piety that belonged to her from childhood. As her husband's reputation grew throughout the colony, her name became everywhere associated with his, but also as of a person to be known and revered on her own account. There was nothing morbid or sad about her religion. She made the home at Northampton a center of genial and attractive hospitahty. *A sweeter couple I have not seen,' said Whitefleld in his diary, after a visit of several days." (Allen.) Mr. Edwards was dismissed ignominiously by his congregation January 22, 1750. For the cause of this proceeding, reference is made to any Life of Mr. Edwards. " The Indian missions at Stockbridge being vacant, the Commissioners for Indian Affairs, at Boston, applied to Mr. Edwards. He was at the same time invited by the inhabitants of Stockbridge, and repairing to that place, he was introduced, and fixed as missionary to the Indians there by an ecclesiastical council called for that purpose, August 8, 1751." (Life, 1764.) " It was at Stockbridge that Mr. Edwards wrote the treatiseon the Will, and that on Original Sin. On September 24, 1757, his son-in-law, the Rev. Aaron Burr, President of the New Jersey College (now Princeton University), died, and at the next meeting of the Trustees, Mr. Edwards was chosen his successor, the news of which was quite unexpected to him. After much hesitation and correspondence with the Trustees, he accepted the position, and set off from Stockbridge in January, 1758, leaving his family, not to be removed till spring. He had two daughters at Princeton, Mrs. Burr and Lucy, his eldest, unmarried. The smallpox was then in Princeton, and by the advice of the physicians, and with the consent of the Corporation, he was inoculated, February 13. He had it favorably, and it was thought all danger was over; but a secondary fever set in, and it put an end to his life on March 22, 1758, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. A little before his death he called his daughter Lucy to him, and addressed her in a few words, which were immediately written down, and were as ollows : * Dear Lucy, it seems to be the will of God that I must shortly leave you ; therefore, give my kindest love to my dear wife, and tell her that the uncommon union which has so long subsisted between us has been of such a nature as 1 trust is spiritual, and therefore will con- tinue forever ; and 1 hope she shall be supported under so great a trial, and submit cheerfully to the will of God. And as to my children, you are likewise to be left fatherless, which I hope will be an inducement to you all to seek a Father who will never fail you.' His last words were : * Trust in God, and ye need not fear.' He appeared to have the uninterrupted use of his reason. to the last, and died with as much calmness and composure as that with which one goes to sleep." (Life of Mr. Edwards, printed in Northampton, 1764.) His remains, as well as those of his wife, who died seven months later, while in Philadelphia, and those of his grandson, Aaron Burr, rest in the cemetery at Princeton. On the 22d of June, 1900, just a hundred and fifty years after the dismissal of Mr. Edwards, a Memorial Bronze Tablet to him was nveiled in the First Church (his church)in Northampton, containing a two-thirds length relief figure of Edwards, life size or larger, represented as if preaching. On the panel beneath the figure is the inscription. In Memory of JONATHAN EDWARDS, Minister of Northampton" The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his Hfe. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and did turn many away from iniquity. " - Mai.ii. 6. The original portraits of President Edwards and his wife were, in 1870, in possession of the family of Jonathan Walter Edwards, Esq., of Hartford, Conn. " They were painted about the year 1740, ni Boston, at the request and expense, it is believed, of a Mr. Hogg, and were forwarded to him in Scotland. At the decease of Mr. Hogg they passed into the hands of his sister, who presented them to the Rev. John Erskine, of Edinburgh. After the American Revolution, Dr. Jonathan Edwards, the second son of the President, made application to Dr. Erskine to purchase the portraits, and the latter gentleman declined to sell them; but, on learning that no other portraits of the President and his wife existed, he sent them to this country as a present to Dr. Edwards, and they have remained in my father's family since." (Remarks of Jonathan Edwards, of New Haven, at the Edwards Meeting, at Stockbridge, 1870.) TO THE PORTRAIT OF SARAH PIERPONT. O lustrous eyes, so dark and deep, Filled with a shimmering haze! O eyes that holy vigils keep! Tears into mine unbidden leap As I return your gaze. Why look on us with mild surprise. American revivalist preacher, philosopher, and Congregationalist Protestant theologian | Edwards, Jonathan (I140266)
