| 3306 | The First Thanksgiving Thomas Hancock was born in 1525 in St. Mary Woolnot Church in London. One of Thomas's grandsons came to America in 1619. William Hancock, born Sept. 4, 1580 in Devonshire England, became an investor in the Virginia Company of London which was created by King James I for the purpose of colonizing America. The first settlement of the company was established in Jamestown in 1607. Later, in 1619, 38 men including William traveled to America from Berkeley Castle in Glouscestershire England. The company they formed, the Berkeley Company, received a grant of 8,000 acres in Virginia. They sailed from England on the small ship Margaret. It was an arduous three-month voyage. Finally, on December 4th, 1619, they arrived at their New World destination. Captain John Woodlief and Anglican missionary George Thorpe led the troop ashore and then, followed the orders they had been given in England. And, what were they to do? The proprietor's instruction said, "the day of our ship's arrival ... shall be yearly and perpetually kept as a day of thanksgiving." Today, a plaque at Berkley Plantation located Charles City, VA, about 30 miles west of Jamestown, states, "The first official, annual Thanksgiving in America was observed by Berkeley’s brave adventurers on December 4, 1619." This Thanksgiving was celebrated more than one year before the Pilgrims set foot on New England’s shore (Oct. 1621). "O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;" Psalms 107:1-2 However, on March 22, 1622 the Berkeley Hundred settlement was attacked by Indians and William, along with many others, was massacred. Shortly after 1630, three of William's sons came to America. Augustine, Simon and William became prominent planters in Virginia and established a family line that today includes many thousands of their descendants. From Virginia, their descendants migrated throughout the southeastern and midwestern states and today are living in all parts of the country. Simon Hancock had a son named William. One of this William Hancock line moved to Craven Co., North Carolina and then on to Lowndes, Berrian, Colquit, and Cook counties of Georgia. One of those descendants, James Newton Hancock, Jr., married a married a beautiful lady named Louise Russell and settled in Irwin County, GA. They became the proud and faithful parents of three children, five grandchildren and, at present, eight grandchildren. One other note of interest: In the early 1700s, the Harrison family purchased the Berkeley Hundred land where William was killed and built a plantation. This became the ancestral home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, two presidents-Old Tippecanoe (William Henry Harrison) and his grandson Benjamin Harrison, and two Governors.

| 3307 | The following is an account, compiled by David Carl Houghton (great-great-grandson) from various sources (William Houghton's autiobiography; Mormon Immigration Index: Autobiography of William H Hill, Reminiscences and Journal of John Orr Freckleton, Journal of John Henry Humphrey Barker, Journal of John Daniel Thompson McAllister; Jones, Albert, Journal, in Journal History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 24 Sept. 1862; Leatham, Mary Evans Williams, [Reminiscences], in Utah Pioneer Biographies, 44 vols., 18:94-95 and 37:59-60; Lindsay, William, Reminiscences, 1927-1930, 274-76) William Houghton was born in 1845, the year the Latter-Day Saints were being mobbed in Nauvoo after the murder of the Prophet Joseph Smith. He had a twin brother who did not survive. His parents had joined the Church in 1841, just a few months after the twelve apostles, including Brigham Young and Heber Kimball, had returned to America after great success in building up the Church in Britain. Three of his aunts, his dad’s sisters and their husbands, were also members of the Church. They belonged to a faithful branch, many of whom would journey to Utah to build Zion. William’s father was a coal miner. His mother was a corset maker and was sickly. Little William was smart and his parents sent him to school, but when he was 7 years old his mother died, which was a very severe trial for her only son. After his mother’s death, he and his father moved in with his aunt and uncle, Ann Houghton and James Singleton, who were also Mormons. After a few months the Singletons left for Utah. William’s father had saved money to take his son to Utah as well, but just as they were making preparations to go, a brother in their branch died, leaving a widow and 6 children under the age of 18. William’s father gave his savings to the widow, Margaret Kay, and she and her children left with the Singletons. One of her adult children, Edward, had married William’s cousin Sarah Partington. So William and his father moved in with his aunt Margaret Houghton and Thomas Partington who also belonged to the Church. The following year William’s father developed a lung infection while working in the coal mines and died. Before he died he wished young William farewell and left him to the care of his aunt Margaret. His aunt and uncle were poor, so William had to leave school at age 9 and go to work in the coal mines, where he worked for the next 7 years. Once he was partially buried and another time burned by the blast powder, but was never able to take a day off. He remembered being ridiculed by his peers for his Mormon faith, but he also remembered the strong gospel testimony of his father, and relied on that until he gained his own. When William was 16, one of his male cousins who had already gone to Utah made arrangements to bring him and his aunt and uncle to Zion. The Partingtons, who had become William’s guardians after his father’s death, had a son named John who had gone to Utah the year before at age 26. He’s the most likely the one who made the arrangements. After arriving in Utah, William’s cousin William Newton had married one of the girls from the Kay family (Martha) who had emigrated to Utah with the help of his father’s savings, so this cousin may have helped William also. William said that the trip was paid for by the Kay family in return for his father’s help years before. William remembered the day he was lifted out of the coal mine for the last time, grateful that he was still alive and healthy after so many years working in such a dangerous job. William and his aunt and uncle sailed on the ship Manchester in May 1862, with 376 Mormons on board. The voyage lasted 6 weeks, through icebergs, sharks and whales. Along the way a stowaway was discovered, nearly starved to death, having been driven to eat a rat. William remembered one of the sailors being hung up by his thumbs for some trespass, but the Mormons insisted he be cut loose. The sea was often rough, and no lights were permitted below deck due to the risk of fire, since the lamps would get knocked around. Loose objects would fly around through the dark and many were injured due to falls. The saints sang hymns and on one occasion someone spoke in a heavenly tongue, which was interpreted by another as saying that the group would be blessed on their journey. When the sea was calm they would dance on deck, playing the violin and concertina. After arriving in New York, they took the train to Niagra Falls where they crossed the suspension bridge. They proceeded to Missouri where they found all the bridges guarded by Union soldiers, since the Civil War was raging. They then boarded a steamboat and traveled down the Mississippi, listening to the cannon fire from battles between the Union and Confederate troops. They continued to Florence (Omaha), Nebraska, where they prepared for the wagon trip to Utah. A severe storm arose there and killed several men whose heads were split open by the lightning. William and his group joined the Homer Duncan wagon company of 1862, which included about 500 people. They walked, since the wagons carried provisions. They saw many Indians along the way as well as some bison stampedes. They saw pioneer burial spots that had been dug open by wolves. There was a lot of flooding that year so the river crossings were very difficult, but they made it to Utah faster than any previous pioneer company. They camped in Brigham Young’s yard, and as they were sitting around the fire, a stranger walked up and began asking about their travels and whether they needed anything. He then introduced himself as Brigham Young and said they could stay in his yard as long as they needed to. William made his way to Mona, Utah, where he was taken in by William Kay, one of the children of the widow who had been helped by William’s father, and his wife Mary Ann. She was 20 years old, only 3 years older than William, but she became like a second mother to him. She was born only 10 miles from his birthplace in England, and so it’s likely they had belonged to the same branch of the Church there. William was able to earn his keep by herding sheep for another of the Kay children, Edward, who had long ago married William’s cousin, Sarah Partington in England. Later William herded cows to earn more money. He married Elvira Carter, daughter of one of the seventy, in 1864 at the age of 19. They had 13 children, and after she died he remarried and gained 6 more. He worked a variety of jobs and served in a variety of positions, including county commissioner and city sexton. He was musically talented, witty and optimistic. He wrote many pieces of poetry and was an entertainer at social events. He died at his daughter’s home in Kaysville, Utah sometime during the night between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, 1930. Having made such an eventful ocean voyage from his native England to the promised land of America,it’s appropriate that one of the pieces of poetry he wrote he called “The Old Ship Zion”: As we sail the gospel billows, o’er that great and tidal wave That leads to life eternal, our precious souls to save We must sail along with wisdom, we must row our boat with care If we’re to gain those heavenly blessings that await the righteous there Then be cheerful saints of Zion, we’ll Israel’s God rely on We’re on the Old Ship Zion, and our Savior’s at the helm He has marked the narrow channel which you and I must sail If we’re to gain those heavenly portals, we must row against the gale Though the enemy oppose, and Satan does his best Ye saints of God keep rowing, we can’t afford to rest Though the road often looks dreary, and there’s breakers seen ahead Never say you’re weary, there’s naught to fear nor dread The cloud that hovers o’er us, in the future will look bright And display a silver lining if you and I do right Let not your hopes be blighted in so great and grand a cause But let us be united, showing reverence to God’s laws We’re on the Old Ship Zion, and she’s always going to float | Houghton, William (I112574)

Martin: See The English Origins of New England Families- Gary Boyd Roberts, NEHGS, 1985- Vol. III, pp. 152-4, also The Origin of Abraham Shaw of Dedham- M.L. Bierbrier, TAG- Vol 57 (1981), pp. 85-87 From Gary Boyd Robert’s article on Abraham Shaw of Dedham: “For many years it was believed Abraham was the illegitimate son of Janet/Jenet Shaw and Abraham Dobson of Halifax, York Co., England as reported by Pitman. The recent discovery and translation of the will of Thomas Shaw of Halifax and his daughter Sarah Shaw by Bierbrier indicates they were father and sister of Abraham of Dedham. The wills proved Abraham Shaw, a legitimate son of Thomas and Elizabeth Shaw, resided in Northowrom, Halifax, York Co, England "two months before the marriage of Abraham Shaw the emigrant" to Bridget Best. R.F. Shaw in his article in The Genealogist says these wills explain the "mystery" of how Abraham "could have acquired property in Halifax." After extensive research of land records in Halifax Parish by R.F. Shaw "definitive evidence" was found to link Abraham to Thomas and his grandfather Christopher through the tracing of a parcel of land. Also the given names of Abraham's siblings: Sarah, Susan, Joseph, Jonas, and Martha are very similar to the names of his own children: Joseph, Grace, Martha, Maria (Mary), John and Susannah. Another point in favor of Thomas Shaw as father of Abraham is the mentioning of a Henry Beste in Thomas' will as a friend and a supervisor. Henry Best was the father-in-law of Abraham.” ===== Thomas Shaw Gender: Male Christened: January 20, 1562 Northowram, Halifax, Yorkshire, England Death: May 15, 1600 (37) Northowram, Halifax, Yorkshire, England Place of Burial: St. John the Baptist Parish (Minster) Church, Halifax, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom Husband of 1) Elizabeth Mawde 2) Elizabeth Longbotham Notes WILL: proved 6th May 1600 in the Prerogative Court of York.

There were several men named Thomas Shaw in Halifax Parish at the same time, but, in land records and court actions, this Thomas is clearly described as the father of Abraham, and the husband of Elizabeth Mawd and Elizabeth Longbothom, plus he is clearly described as the son of Christopher of Northowram.

| 3309 | The following was extracted from the Richardson Family Website and was published in "The Faces and Places of Benjamin, Utah": Shadrach Richardson was born on November 11, 1816 in Cumberland County, Kentucky. He was one of twelve children born to Shadrach Richardson and Mary Elizabeth Garrett. In 1833, Shadrach and Elizabeth moved their family to Illinois. While in Illinois, the Richardson family met and became good friends with a widow named Sarah Scott Stewart and her children. In 1837, Sarah’s son, Benjamin Franklin Stewart, married Shadrach’s sister, Polly. In that same year, both families moved to Iowa. The Stewart family settled in Fox River, Van Buren County, and the Richardsons in Keg Creek, Mills County. They did not lose track of one another, however, and in 1839 Shadrach married Benjamin’s sister Lavina Stewart. They made their home on Keg Creek where seven children were born to them, five of whom died in infancy. In the year 1849 the gold rush to California spread over the country. Shadrach and Lavina felt the urge to try their fortune in this new land and made the necessary arrangements to start this long and dangerous journey. Taking what belongings they could carry in a prairie schooner and their two little boys, Shadrach Montgomery and William Wilshire, they started the long and hard journey to the dream land of the west. They arrived in Payson, Utah, in the fall of 1852, weary and foot-sore, but hoping to go on to California. They rested while visiting their brother and sister, Benjamin Franklin and Polly Richardson Stewart. But the trials and hardships incident to their journey across the plains proved too much for Lavina and she passed away in December, 1852, leaving her two little boys and their father to the mercy and kindness of relatives and the good people of Payson. Lavina was one of the first to be buried in the Payson cemetery. After the death of his wife, Shadrach had no more desire to go on to California and decided to make his home in Utah. In 1857, he was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1860, he married Sarah Haskell Aimes (also spelled Emes), who had returned from San Bernardino, California with her children when her husband Ellis Aimes joined the Reorganized LDS Church. Four children were born to Sarah and Shadrach, three boys and one girl, Thomas, David, Lavina, and Richard. In September 1869, Sarah died and he was again left alone to provide for his family. In 1869, he homesteaded a parcel of land in Benjamin and built a log cabin near a bubbling spring of very warm water (known later as Arrowhead Resort). He moved in when the home was complete. This was a home for them until they were all old enough to go out and establish homes for themselves. He died in Benjamin at the home of his oldest son, Shadrach Montgomery Richardson, on June 18, 1890 and was buried in the Payson Cemetery. | Richardson Jr., Shadrach (I140649)

| 3310 | The following was written by someone else (see at the end). However, some of it is not accurate. William Sabin's first wife's given name is not known; she was likely not the daughter of Richard Wright (father-in-law usually meant stepfather at that time) and he may well have been married twice - neither wife's name known. The list of children below is not 100% accurate; the dates in parentheses are the correct ones. The info on Richard is doubtful.

| 3311 | The fourth wife of John Conrad Naegle (Naile), Verena Bryner was born 18 April 1831 in Weidekon, Zurich, Switzerland. Her parents are Hans Ulrich Bryner, Sr. and Verena Wintch. According to family research, Verena was the sixth child and the second daughter born to the parents. In 1854, Verena and six members of her family were baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Before the year was over, the entire family had been baptized members of the church. Verena immigrated to the United States in 1857 with her aging parents and three year old nephew, Henry, son of Hans Ulrich, Jr. Verena was the last of the family to immigrate, being the person responsible for her parents and nephew’s journey. They settled in Lehi, Utah and it was there that Verena met John Conrad. They were married 30 September 1858. In 1864 or 1865, Verena moved to Toquerville, Utah in southern Utah, when John C. was called to establish the church winery there. She and “Aunt Regula” (John C.’s fifth wife.) lived together in Toquerville. Verena and her children moved to Concho, Arizona in 1880, during the time of the polygamy raids She took charge of the home her husband was establishing there. Verena was an astute business woman and proved up a homestead in Concho in her name. It is said of her that she raised her children to obey the commandments of the Lord and follow the teachings of the church. She obeyed the promptings of the spirit and is described as being self-sacrificing, wonderfully kind, and considerate of others. She lived in Concho until her death in 1905. | Bryner, Verena (I139556)

| 3312 | The Garbrand family are descendants of a Garbrand [given name] Harkes [surname] from Holland. The name was changed to Garbrand as the surname, but sometimes known as Garbrand alias Harkes, or Harkes alias Garbrand, with spelling variations. Susan, born about 1593; mentioned in the will of her brother John Garbrand in 1618, as living and not having received her portion of her parents' estates. After her mother's death in 1609, she probably lived awhile with her childless aunt, Mrs. Christian (Garbrand) Chaloner, wife of Rev. Robert Chaloner, D.D., rector of Amersham, co. Bucks. From this association a few years later she became "waiting-gentlewoman" to Mrs. Joane (Tothill) Drake, who was the eldest of the thirty-three children of William Tothill, Esq., lord of the Manor of Shardeloes in Amersham, and had married in 1603 Franceis Drake, Esq. of Esher, co. Surrey, a suburb of London. While living in this household Susan Garbrand became acquainted with Rev. Thomas Hooker, who in 1620 became curate of Esher and "had his diet and lodging" in Mr. Drake's house. The statement that Hooker's wife was the waiting-gentlewoman of Mrs. Drake appears in a little contemporary book entitled "Trodden down Strength by the God of Strength or Mrs. Drake Revived." Mrs. Drake died 18 April 1625. The will of Francis Drake, Esq., dated 13 March 1633/4 gave to "Joanna Hooker, now in New England, 30 pounds at her day of marriage"; she was the eldest child of Rev. Thomas Hooker and goddaughter of Mrs. Drake. Rev. Thomas Hooker and Susan Garbrand were married at Amersham, co. Bucks, 3 April 1621 by her aunt's husband, Rev. Robert Chaloner, D.D. rector of that parish. Genealogical Notes On the Founding of New England, 1629-1640, page 323. | Garbrand, Susannah (I143769)

Sometime before Elias was two years of age he moved to the birthplace of his mother in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. There the father left his wife to support herself and four sons as best she could and was heard from no more for seven years. Elias grew up in the home of his grandmother and he always thought rather bitterly of his father for deserting his family. At the end of the seventh year William returned to the city where he and his family had formerly lived seeking information as to their whereabouts. In the meantime Nancy had remarried thinking she would never see her husband again. William made inquiries at a blacksmith shop he had once owned, and was told by the owner that Nancy still lived in the old home but that now she was his wife. After hearing the story the blacksmith told William that he would inform Nancy that her former husband was in the city and if she still wanted to be married to him, he would step aside. But William, feeling that he had no right to the love of the woman whom he had deserted, went to the house to look upon her once more through a window then went away never to be heard from again. He left a present for her with her husband. Nancy always surmised that the gift, a beautiful shawl, came from William and she prized it highly. Shortly afterward she died. Elias was just a young boy at this time. When he was eighteen years of age he married Harriet Smith. They were the parents of two children. On the 2nd of March, 1830 Harriet died and two years later he married Amy Pritchard. Elias joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, being baptized October 7, 1841. Elias was a leader during the early part of his life in a brass band in New York City. He lived in Nauvoo in 1846 and was endowed in the Nauvoo Temple January 8, 1846. He was a tenant at the Lucius Scovil house next to the present day Scovil Bakery in Nauvoo. This is south of the present Cultural Hall. He was a shoe maker in Nauvoo. He was a pioneer who came to Utah with Heber C. Kimball in 1848. He was active in the church and lived a faithful and full life with many wives and children, who loved and respected him for his many fine qualities. He passed away February 15, 1891 at Annabelle, Utah and was buried in a little place called Glenwood, Sevier, Utah. - Alveretta GardnerThe History of Elias Gardner, His Life and His Family - is too large t o place here.

Emily Ann had two sisters and one brother: Ellen Elizabeth, born 14 April 1837 in Ogden, Gennessee, New York; Mary, born in Ohio and died at 6 years old; James Steele, born in Illinois and died at 18 months. It is assumed that Emily’s parents, Joshua and Ruth, united with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Hiram, Ohio. After their baptism they migrated with the Saints to Hancock County, Illinois. After burying two children Joshua and Ruth Abbott fled from religious persecution into Iowa Territory. At Council Bluffs, Joshua enlisted in the Mormon Battalion. Ruth volunteered to accompany him on the Battalion trek as a laundress. When Joshua and Ruth finally settled in Salt Lake Valley, they owned a little spring or stream of water. But as Salt Lake grew, the city had to have his stream of water for the city water. Joshua Abbott thought for the city to take his water that he ran his grist mill with wasn’t right, and it made him angry. Joshua left the Salt Lake Valley after a confrontation with Brigham Young in the spring of 1849 and ended up in Oregon. One family story states that Joshua tried to persuade his wife, Ruth, to go with him, but she was tired out from their trip across the plains and had a new daughter, Emily Ann Abbott born December 24, 1848 in SLC. Ruth told him to go ahead and get a home for them, and she would follow him. Another story is that he heard that his family had been killed by Indians, so he never did return to Salt Lake. By the spring of 1851, Ruth was living alone in Bountiful, next door to her second cousin, Stephen Markham, with her two daughters, Ellen Elizabeth and Emily Ann. Ruth Markham Abbott never heard from Joshua again and was sealed to Elias Gardner, her son-in-law on February 9, 1852, and made her home with Elias Gardner and her daughter Ellen Elizabeth Abbott Gardner, wife of Elias Gardner. Emily Ann would also later marry Elias Gardner July 13, 1867, at the age of 19, and was sealed to Elias Gardner as his 9th wife. Emily Ann’s mother and sister persuaded Emily Ann to marry Elias because she was in poor health and they wanted to be able to care for her. Emily Ann and Elias had four children: Lois Ann, born 17 July 1868 in Payson, Utah; Emily, born 8 May 1871 in Salem, Utah; Franklin, born 25 June 1874 in Salem, Utah; and Harriet, born in April of 1877 in Salem, Utah. Harriet died while yet a child in 1881. Emily Ann was a schoolteacher in Payson. She died in 1880 at the age of 32, leaving her four small children in her sister Ellen’s care.

He was known as an outstanding speaker and a leader of universal Christian suffrage. A staunch supporter of universal Christian suffrage (voting rights independent of church membership), Hooker was a renowned theologian and orator who greatly shaped the early development of colonial New England. He entered Emanuel College, Cambridge in 1604. He received his B.A. in 1608, the degree of M. A. in 1611 and entering upon a divinity course, he was elected a Fellow of the College. He left the college before completing the first course and receiving the degree of B. D. There are many reasons supposing that he went from the college direct to Chelmsford and remained their until being silenced, arrested and placed under bonds to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court, he fled to Holland. Came to New England on ship "Griffin" 1633. Called today “the Father of Connecticut,” Thomas Hooker was a towering figure in the early development of colonial New England. He was one of the great preachers of his time, an erudite writer on Christian subjects, the first Puritan minister of Cambridge, Massachusetts, one of the first settlers of Connecticut and the chief founder of Hartford, Conn. In 1639 he was cited by many as the inspiration for the "Fundamental Orders of Connecticut," cited by some as the world's first written democratic constitution that established a representative government. | Hooker, Reverend Thomas (I143775)

Her first name has also appeared as several different spellings, including Christiane, Christijane, Christijana, Christyiana, and Christianna. Christiane Sophie Gregersen was born Thursday 14 May 1863 in Vollerup, Soro, Denmark to Hans Gregersen (18 Jul 1835 - 2 Feb 1925) and Ane Marie Hansen (20 Sep 1840 - 27 Apr 1919). Her parents were also born and raised in Soro County but in different towns. She was their first of 11 children. Six of the children did not live beyond childhood. Her siblings were Maren Kjerstine (5 or 8 Feb 1865 - Aug 1866), Hans Carl (27 Apr 1867 - 12 Jun 1941), Peter Christian (24 Nov 1869 - 4 Jan 1873), Frederick Julius (5 May 1872 - 10 Feb 1951), Peter Christian (25 Dec 1873 - 19 Jun 1877), Maren Christine (31 Dec 1875 - 19 Jan 1876), Annie Marie (5 Jan 1877 - ???), Ernst Hyrum Hans (10 Jan 1879 - 31 Mar 1879), Martha Sarah (5 Oct 1880 - ???), and Jacob (18 Feb 1884 - 9 Oct 1885). By the time the third child (Hans Carl) was born on 27 April 1867, the family was living in St Peters Sogn, Soro County. It was the custom then to buy all their bread. They didn't have ovens in their homes. Bakeries were large buildings, or they seemed very large to a little girl. It was to such places that Sophie was sent on errands for supplies for the family. The fireplaces at home were used to heat the houses and to cook other types of food, especially soup. When Sophie was just a little tyke, about 4 years old, she was told to sit by the fire and poke wood into it to keep dinner cooking. As she sat there, a spark flew out and caught her sleeve just inside her elbow. The sleeve caught fire and caused a deep burn, which left a heavy scar that she had as long as she lived. She called this her brand mark. Living conditions, as one would imagine, were much more primitive than what we know now. The family ate at one table and was served with one common bowl or dish, and each member spooned from it. To wash clothes, no washboards were used. They simply rubbed the articles between their hands to get them clean. Schooling for the children was rather limited in those early days. A daughter of Sophie tells us that Sophie went to school three days a week for five winters for her only formal education, and adds, "she wore wooden shoes." The Gregersen family's whole world changed when, on 3 March 1873, they became members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some family members turned against them for having done so. Sophie remembers being baptized in a river and confirmed in a field near a small stack of hay. She was not quite ten. In 1877 when she was 14, her father took her to a dock where a ship, the Wyoming, was waiting for its passengers (missionaries and converts) to board. He put her hand into that of a strange man and told her to pretend that she was the man's daughter. Sophie was the first of her family to come to America, and she was seasick all the way. When the ship docked in New York City, she boarded a train for Utah. She was met in Salt Lake City by Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Moer (he had been a missionary) who took her to their home in Tooele. She did housework there for her room and board and later earned $20, which she sent to her father. The following year, Sophie's mother made the long trip to Utah. She brought six-year-old Frederick Jules and little Annie Marie, who was almost two. A baby boy was born in Tooele three months later but lived only a short while. The baby, Ernst Hyrum Hans, is buried in Tooele. Another year passed before Sophie's father and Hans Carl joined the rest of the family in Tooele. The Gregersens left four young children buried in Denmark. Tooele was still not the end of the trail for the Gregersens. Many of their Danish friends were settling in Cache County, Utah, so they gathered up their small family and set out in 1879. They were given a ride to Salt Lake City but walked the rest of the way to Hyrum, Utah. Sophie's father carried little Marie in a shawl on his back since she was not yet three. There she met Hans Sorensen (30 May 1853 - 4 Oct 1946) at a dance-he was 26, and she was 16. In those days, dances were held mostly in homes. She thought that she was pretty smart, because Hans had a carriage, and the other girls all had to ride horses to go on dates with their boyfriends. A couple of years later, they decided to get married. Hans was 28 years old, and Sophie was 18 years old. On Wednesday 21 December 1881, they were married and sealed in the Endowment House. Parents did not travel to Salt Lake City to see their children get married, so Hans and Sophie traveled with another couple planning to get married. Their transportation was a team of horses and wagon. On their trip to Salt Lake City, the weather was quite pleasant for December, but on the way home, it was very cold with snow on the ground. After their marriage, Hans left Sophie in Hyrum with his parents while he went to Millville to rent some farmland from Brigham Young College. Hans also built a small home for his bride. It wasn't long until Sophie joined him and was so pleased to have her own home. Hans rented the land for eight years until he was able to buy the land from the college. He had bought a little farm equipment each year so he would not have to go into debt. He was able to buy 80 acres at $21 per acre, which was a lot of money in those days. Hans had to work hard in good and bad weather to provide for his fast growing family. The temple was very important in their lives. Hans, Sophie, and other Mormons were willing to work, sacrifice, and go through hardship in order that the temple could be built. Sophie served as a Relief Society teacher in the church for 40 years. She also devoted much of her time to caring for the ill. Her parents were sealed to each other on 3 May 1885, and she was sealed to her parents on Thursday 20 Jan 1887 along with her brothers and sisters. Sophie and Hans had 12 children: Hans Junior (23 Sep 1882 - 10 Oct 1972), Joseph (22 Jan 1884 - 5 Jan 1893), Laura Sophia (22 Oct 1885 - 1 Jan 1981), Martha Ann (21 Jan 1888 - 20 Jan 1943), William (24 Jan 1890 - 21 Aug 1893), Emma Christine (20 Oct 1891 - 10 Aug 1893), Ezra (20 Oct 1893 - 19 Jul 1909), Leonard Edwin (5 May 1896 - 17 Mar 1958), Orson James (5 Mar 1898 - 5 Aug 1961), Adella Marie (28 Jul 1900 - 1 Oct 1980), Amanda Lena (7 Jun 1902 - 1 Mar 2003), and Melvin Edger (31 Dec 1906 - 29 Jun 1988). There were good times and bad times for their family. They had their share of sickness and trials. Hans and Sophie had been married 11 years when their second oldest son became ill. A doctor thought he just had a stomachache, but Joseph died from a ruptured appendix. Joseph was just 9 years old. This was a very sad time, and there was more sadness to come. On 19 February 1893 (less than a month later), Hans' mother passed away at the age of 69. In August of that same year, Hans and Sophie lost another child, Emma Christiane (age 21 months), and about 10 days later, William also died (age 3 years 7 months). Their faith in God had to be strong to get them through that year. Another trial came in 1909 when their 15-year-old son, Ezra, was hit and killed by lightening while he was fishing. In 1903, their oldest son (Hans) was called to go on a mission to Denmark, and they were happy to support their son on this mission. Later, they supported another son, Melvin, on a mission to Colorado. Their son Orson served in the United States Navy. Hans and Sophie really loved their children and would not allow anyone to speak badly about them. Hans' trouble with rheumatism continued to get worse, so by 1914, Hans decided to move his family back to Hyrum. Hans had a home, barn, and chicken coops built on a corner lot. There was plenty of room for a large garden with grapes growing on the fence. As Sophie got older, her hair thinned until she was nearly bald. Sophie must have had a pretty good stomach, because she would hold a loaf of bread on her stomach to slice it. Hans and Sophie always had friendly arguments going on. Hans did the weeding of the garden, but not to Sophie's satisfaction. Once he weeded the tops off of all the carrots, but the carrots did grow back. Sophie did all of the milking. Sophie said that Hans was too rough on the cows, so she did not let him into the barn. Sophie's mother died in 1919 at the age of 78 years, after which her father came to live with Hans and Sophie for a while. He also spent time with other members of his family. Her father died 6 years after her mother at the age of 89 years. Sophie became a widow when Hans died at home on 4 Oct 1946 at the age of 93 years. Sophie was 83 years old at that time and had faithfully taken care of him through his long years of illness. Sophie's family honored her on her 90th birthday with an open house in College Ward at the home of her son Leonard. She died in Smithfield, Cache, Utah on Wednesday 4 August 1954 at the age of 91 years. She was buried Saturday 7 August 1954 in Hyrum, Cache, Utah. | Gregersen, Christiane Sophie (I109777)

| 3338 | The Wentworth Genealogy: English and American in three volumes by John Wentworth (Little, Brown and Co., 1878) is the source of most of the Wentworth information. The author cites as his source "William Flower, Norroy King of arms of the College of Arms,...who compiled it in the year 1588, and it has ever since remained upon the records of the College, and been accepted...as authentic." The only iffy part of the Wentworth genealogy is whether Elder William Wentworth of NH was indeed the son of William and Susanna (Carter) Wentworth. Author John Wentworth spent several pages of Volume 1 explaining all the circumstantial evidence for why he believed he was their son. The Marbury Ancestry, in an "IMPORTANT NOTE - " on page 26, says: "The old Wentworth Genealogy gives strong circumstantial evidence indicating the English parentage of the colonists, William Wentworth and Christopher Lawson ...

| 3339 | The years continue to go by. At 5 the local school which had just finished a new grade school had a community activity. We all got to go and get a polio shot. Judy wanted her shot in one dose so they gave me one dose too, instead of a little in each bum cheek. I remember shuffling out to the car for the ride home because I couldn’t lift my foot off the floor, for the pain. In fourth grade we had just come home from a summer in Montana. The dress I wore in the school picture in one Aunt June bought me. She wanted to give me a perm. The “in” style was a poodle cut, and I didn’t want one. So she bought me this beautiful dress with colored “cheerios” all over it. She told me it would be just perfect to have a hair style to go with the dress. So I got a nice new dress and a perm. Daddy (Sherm) started a chain saw business in 1952. It progressed from the front porch to a little place in down town Juneau. I remember his chain saw tree (that he invented), and learned to help him by sharpening chain saw blades. Dad also went together with a company in California for a chainsaw mill he'd invented. I would lift it to show people that even a 10 year old girl could lift it. I helped him with that until I was about 14 and vanity arrived. What girl wants hands cut up from chain saw blades? We went to 4-H and learned to bake and sew. Over the years I have sewed most of my party dresses and my wedding dress. My first party dress was a hand me down from Judy. We got nice dresses for the Green and Gold Balls at church. In fourth grade I met Loreen Oyler. We were best of friends and when her family fell apart we were able to have her come and live with us. There is more to tell on that but we will put it in her own story. I changed her name from Loreen to Lori and we did almost everything together. I went to her church with her and she went with me to mine. We sang songs together at school assemblies. We shared clothes and were a solid support to each other. After about a year the Social Services came and moved her because our house was too small and had too many children as well as other considerations we didn’t feel were justified as we didn’t want to lose her. She had become one of the girls. After a year of school in Springville, Utah living with my father’s sister Pete (Phebe) I went to Idaho and helped Joy complete her boards from beauty school. When we finished there we went up and spent the rest of the summer with June and Ed at the ranch. Joy had a lot of fun playing with my hair. We decided that with my olive skin I didn’t make a very good red head, so I became a blonde. We rode horses and camped up Porcupine Canyon. I enjoyed the horse - Pete - very much and like riding him though I didn’t know how very well. No one ever taught us to be with horses and as much as I love them, I am also a bit afraid of them.. Judy arrived with a group who came South for Youth Conference in Vancouver, BC. They stopped at the ranch and left Judy and took Joy and me back to Alaska. I graduated from Juneau-Douglas High School 22 May 1964. I worked as an office girl through out the summer and attended Sheldon Jackson Jr. College in Sitka, Alaska school year of 1964-65. I attended Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah winter of 1965-66 and after a few of life’s vicissitudes ended up at the Ranch again. I moved into an apartment down the hall from my Grandmother Pitman. It was a wonderful time getting to know her better. Whenever I would go out for job interviews she would dress me up. Fancy dresses and high heels and bows. I told her it was an interview not a party. Her reply was “ they’re men aren’t” I couldn’t argue because I got the job. It was a very friendly office and they all helped me get ready for my mission. I received a mission call December 1966 and left for the Northern Far East Mission in February 1967. Judy met me in Salt Lake City and went to the temple with me. I attended a week of classes with church leaders and went straight to Tokyo, Japan. My first week was in Tokyo attending a missionary conference. President Adney Y. Komatsu was our Mission President. His wife told us it didn’t snow in Tokyo, so then of course it did. Sister Gushikin had just arrived from Okinawa and had never seen snow. She wandered all over the garden and looked up to see the snow, it was such a wonder to her. President Komatsu had to catch up with her to put a coat on her, she didn’t even realize it was cold. My first area was Kyoto. The first week I caught a cold and we attended church in an old Japanese house, so I spent the day on a futon on the kitchen floor in front of a heater. What a way to begin anything. My first companion was Sister Janet Lang, from Las Vegas, Nevada. TK From Kyoto I transferred to Hiroshima, where the A-bomb was dropped in 1945. It had a very western feel to it and moves at faster pace than the other places in Japan I have visited. This is a picture of Hiroshima Jo (Hiroshima Castle) Most of the Jo’s you’d see in Japan look a lot like it. Some have more or less stories, but the basic shape is the same. My first companion in Hiroshima was Marilyn Miller, 5’10”. She was always turning heads. One day a car with two gentlemen drove by, looked at her and drove into a ditch.. She went home and my next companion was Kiyoko Nakagawa who came back to American with me when my mission was over. From Hiroshima I transferred to Nagoya, and North Tokyo, Central Tokyo.At Central the building was an old Japanese Mansion. Sister Tanner with large rock with red veins. Was offered $10,000. for this rock. The rules to build in Tokyo is a minimum of 5 stories. They have now built a new building which houses a stake center, a mission home, and other office space; these two items have been incorporated in the décor. The large monument was created for a young girl who died from radiation sickness. According to tradition if you make 1,000 paper cranes you wouldl be healed. She made over 800 from when she got sick until she died. Now each year the school children make cranes and hang them in streamers to be hung under the center of the monument. While I was in Japan I helped to make 1,000 cranes to send my brother, John and Donna for their wedding. I returned home from my mission February, 1969 and worked in Bozeman until July. Kiyoko Nakagawa came with me. Then she went back to Japan and I went to Hawaii and visited Elder William D. League who had returned from his mission in May 1969. We became engaged July 12, 1969 and married 1 August 1970 at Idaho Falls, Idaho. We were blessed with three wonderful children: Genji Tanner League 18 November 1972 - Hof, West Germany in Hof Stat krankenhouse. Married Mia Kerensia Wolfe 15 July 1995 Juneau, Alaska.

| 3347 | There are some unusual circumstances with his various wives. Some of these are simply temple sealings and it is currently unknown as to why they occurred. Initially (prior to Nov 2018), he was not linked to his first wife, Caroline Frederikke Bastian. Thomas' father, Wilhelm, was a member of the LDS Church and emigrated to Utah in 1885 (with his wife Anne and Thomas' youngest brother Wilhelm). His entry in Passport to Paradise indicates that the family was living in København (Copenhagen) prior to leaving. This residence lead to finding Thomas also in Copenhagen. First, there is an 1884 christening entry for Thomas (which also, for unknown reasons, prefixes "Carl" to his name). Due to his parents being "Mormons" (as it says in the birth register), Thomas was not christened in the state Lutheran church at the time of his birth in 1859, and the birth register only records the date of his birth (without a christening). Thomas was baptized into the LDS church at age 10. However, at the age of nearly 25, he received a Lutheran christening on 16 Aug 1884 in Holmens parish in Copenhagen, just prior to his marriage, the following day (17 Aug 1884), to Caroline. This event has been improperly indexed, but the original record indicates that he was born in 1859 and christened in 1884. As for why this happened, perhaps there was a Lutheran church requirement for him to christened a Lutheran before being allowed to marry there. Five years later, when Thomas emigrates in 1889, Caroline and young Thomas Elin are listed with him. (The child is listed with an age of 2 years and 6 months, making his birth in [approx] April of 1887, rather than the 1886 that appears in all subsequent US records.) No birth record is found nor indexed in the April 1886 or 1887 timeframe in either Holmens parish or in Trinitatis parish (where father Thomas was living at the time of marriage). (For more details of this emigration, see the entry for Thomas' father Vilhelm.) It is unknown what happens to Caroline. (There is a woman named "Caroline Bastian" who in 1903 becomes the second wife to Anders/Andrew L. Nelson of Provo, after his first wife dies. The census indicates the same age and immigration date, but then, at her death in 1931, her father is identified as "Chris Jepperson" ....) n the 1900 census at Salt Lake, Thomas, both father and son, are listed with "wife Gusta", with the indication that Thomas and Gusta have been married for the past 14 years. This is also contradicted by the fact that a marriage of Thomas and "Gusta Evans" is LATER recorded in Farmington in November of 1905, 14 months after the birth of a son Stanley in September of 1904. There is no known document for this birth. Oddly, on Stanley's marriage record in 1927, it states that his mother is named "Selma". There are no clues as to whether this is an error or who this "Selma" might be. Gusta dies in November of 1908 at Bingham Junction (Midvale). In 1910, Thomas is found, with son Stanley, "widowed" in San Francisco as a "stationery merchant". (He was a tree inspector in 1900.) Is this perhaps just a temporary residence?? However, in the interim, there is an entry in the Utah Marriage Index (no actual marriage entries) indicating that "Thomas E. Vissing" marries "Martha Jane Welch" in August of 1909 in Salt Lake. Martha Jane Welch, née Tonks, was married to Thomas Welch in Salt Lake in 1879, but he dies in 1902. They were living in Morgan, Utah. The marriage index above gives ages that are MUCH farther from reality than usual: it indicates that Thomas was born in 1879, when he was actually born in 1859. It indicates that Martha was born in 1869 when she was actually born in 1860. These unusual discrepancies would call this whole marriage into question, particularly when both turn around and marry someone else a few years later. But then the ordinance dates add another twist: Thomas' initiatory and endowment ordinances are recorded in Salt Lake on 18 Aug 1909, the exact same date of the above marriage to Martha. However, a proxy sealing for this marriage is recorded as 1994. So, if a sealing did occur in 1909, its record has been lost or misplaced, along with the reasons for such. The next marriage of Thomas, to Anna Maria Poeschmann, has no civil record. The 1920 census shows them together in Salt Lake with son Stanley and with child Anna Melva born to them. (He is now a real estate agent.) It asserts that Anna immigrated in 1914 (no record found for this). Yet a granddaughter of Anna asserts that they were married in February of 1913. However, the ordinance record gives a sealing date of 10 Dec 1914. Finally, there is another unusual sealing. On 03 Oct 1940, Thomas is sealed BOTH to his deceased wife Gusta (Augusta) and to an otherwise unknown woman, Jensine Johanne Holm. There is birth and death data (1860 Vejle to 1887) in the Tree, but it is wholly unsourced and of unknown origin. The tree also asserts that she is the daughter of Lauritz F. Holm, but there is no birth record in Sankt Nicolai parish and she does not appear with the family in the 1870 census. Thomas then dies in 1943, and his wife Anna continues until 1960. | Vissing, Thomas Eliinn (I132632)

| 3348 | There is a question as to the burial place of Warren Campbell. There is a headstone in the Bloomington Cemetery, Bloominton, Bear Lake, Cemetery, beside his mother Mercy Miranda Hill Mallory Campball. The headstone was built by Wood Funeral Home and appears to be newer than the year he died, which was 1901. I believe these two headstones were placed there possibly in the 1970's or about that time. There is another headstone in the Laketown Cemetery, in Laketown, Rich, Utah, which bears his name, Warren Campbell, in additon to his birth and death information. That headstone is very new, possibly less than 20 years old. The word is he died in Laketown, Rich, Utah, but I have yet to see any evidence that proves either a death in Idaho or Utah.

| 3349 | There is an excellent article on the life of Ezra Perry on the website of the Sandwich Historical Commission written by cousin Paul Rentz. The URL address is http://sandwichhistory.org/ezra-perry/ The article is too long for FamilySearch to put it up here so you will have to go to the URL to read it. Born: 1625, Bideford, Devonshire, England 19,22 Marriage: Elizabeth Burgess on 12 Feb 1651/52 in Sandwich, Barnstable, MA 15,18,19,20,21,139,239,240,245 Died: 16 Oct 1689, Sandwich, Barnstable, MA at age 64 18,19,20,139,245 Ezra was one of the earliest settlers of Sandwich, Massachusetts. He married Elizabeth Burgess in Sandwich, Barnstable County, Massachusetts on February 12, 1651/51. He became a minister in 1657. In 1679 he also became constable. Ezra and Elizabeth had eight children. After his first appearance in the records nothing more is found until his marriage: "Ezra Perry & Elizabeth Burge were maried the 12th day of ffebruarie, Anno. Dom. 1651" (May, Des., 14:109 ). Elizabeth (Burges) Perry, born probably in or near Truro, Cornwall, England, about 1629, was the only daughter of Thomas and Dorothy Burges of Sandwich (see THE REGISTER, 49:240, for her ancestry). Thomas Burges was in Sandwich in 1637, Representative to the General Court, 1642, fought in the Narragansett War, 1645., etc. Savage calls him "one of the chief men of the town." Through the agency of Capt. Miles Standish he received a grant of land 3 March 1652/3 in Manomet, the area later called Monument, lying to the north of the Sandwich Settlement which was named Herring River Village (within the township of Sandwich). This deed shows that the land lay "to the Eastward of Thomas Burgis his sonne in lawes house" thus proving that Ezra Perry was then resident, though he probably did not yet own land, in Manomet. He does not appear on a list of Sandwich land owners in 1658 (Plymouth Colony Deeds, May. Des., vol. 2, p. 29; Sandwich town records). The births of his first three children are recorded in Sandwich: Ezra, in 1653; Deborah, in 1654; and John, in 1657 (May. Des., 14: 171). A hiatus in the records then occurs until we find the births of his son Samuel, in 1667; Benjamin, in 1670; and Remembrance, in 1676. By his will we know that he had at least another daughter, Sarah Perry, born about 1659. The town records show that "Lieftenant" Perry received 4 shillings pay 4 April 1657 for service in the militia. Yet he seems not to have played a prominent role in the public life of the community. The fact that he married the daughter of one of its chief men, and that his eldest son married a daughter of the powerful Governor Prence, attests to his standing, however. His multitude of descendants represent an astonishing variety of people, including President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, the first wife of President Theodore Roosevelt, and several contemporary genealogists as well as the present compilers. Among these was Capt. Thomas Crosby Perry (1807-1885), who kept a genealogical Note Book to which the attention of all those concerned with early Sandwich history and genealogy is hereby directed. The next item referring to Ezra Perry appears in the Plymouth Colony Court Records, vol. 3, p. 163: "June 7, 1659 - Ezra Perry is allowed by the Court to be Executor of the Estate of Sarah Perry, there being noe other (although she hath many friends in the Country), that claimeth any interest to the Estate, having put in securities into the Court to be accountable for the Estate encase it shall bee required by any that hath better title thereto. ..." He presented the Inventory on the Estate of Sarah Perry, deceased, on the following day, June 8th. All the printed accounts which we have seen appear to base their claim that Ezra Perry and his "brother Edward Perry the Quaker" were sons of the "widow Sarah Perry of Devonshire, England,"on the above statement, but the wording of the record makes it quite clear that neither Ezra nor any of the other Perrys in Sandwich were closely related by blood to the deceased widow Sarah Perry. There is, however, an implication that Ezra Perry had some claim on the estate (perhaps for himself, possibly on behalf of others also). It would be consistent if Ezra's claim had been based on right to a dower residue of the estate of a step-mother. It could be argued that the Perry family group came to Sandwich with a widowed step-mother in order to live under the protection of some one of the pioneer Sandwich families to whom the widow's husband and/or these minor children may have been closely related. But such a suggestion is sheer conjecture in the absence of further evidence and is useful only in furnishing an added clue for research in England. A deed from the Sachem Quachatasett to Mr. John Alden, dated in Plymouth 27 July 1661, mentions a tract of land "on that side of Manomet River next unto Sandwich: the bounds of which is from the lands of Esra Perry, ..." (Plymouth Colony Deeds, May. Des., vol. 18, p. 88). But Ezra Perry was then still resident on his father-in-law's tract which the latter, Thomas Burges, obtained, says Thomas C. Perry, "from the Plymouth Court in consideration for his public service in 1652" (Note Book, p. 66). On 10 July 1663 "Thomas Burge, Senr. of the Towne of Sandwich, ... planter ... in consideration of a valluable sume; to him already payed by his son in law Named Esra Perry of. the towne aforesaid ... planter" conveys "one halfe of a certain tract ... of land at Manomett in the jurisdiction aforesaid, which said tract was purchased by Captaine Standish by the appointment of the Court, of Josias of Nausett an Indian Sachem ... as appears by a deed bearing the date the third of March Anno Dom 1652 ... bounded to the Northwards ... by a tree to the Eastward of the said Perry's house ..." (Plymouth Colony Deeds, May. Des., vol. 18, p. 86) . Thomas C. Perry says this tract lay on both sides of the Monument River, nearly the whole length of it (Note Book, p. 66). Two other deeds, bearing the same date as above, disposed of the remainder of Thomas Burge's 1652 tract; since he sold one-quarter to son Joseph Burge and the remaining quarter to Lt. Josiah Standish of Sandwich (son of Capt. Miles Standish) (May. Des., vol. 18, p. 89). On 29 May 1665 Ezra Perry agreed to assist in building the new Sandwich Meeting House (town records). On 25 June 1666 "The Court have graunted unto Ezra Perry a smale quantity of land in the Neck" (about 30 acres) ... "where Mr. Edmonde Freeman Junr. hath his land ..." (Plymouth Colony Court Orders, vol 4, p. 131). On 2 July 1667 "twenty acres additional graunted to Ezra Perry ... being in the purchase of Mr. Edmund Freeman, and not suitable for anyone beside, being there is no meadow on it" (ibid., p. 159). Ezra and Edward Perry were both appointed, 5 June 1671, to represent Sandwich on a committee "to view the damage done to the Indians by the horses and hogges of the English" (Plymouth Colony Court Orders, vol. 2, p. 62). Ezra Perry served 3 June 1674 on the Grand Enquest (ibid., vol. 5, p. 145), and again 5 June 1677 (ibid., p. 230). It is a curious fact that in a 1675 list of Sandwich men who "have just right to the priviledges of the town" of Sandwich Ezra Perry's name does not appear, though Edward Perry's does (Freeman, History of Cape Cod, vol. 2, p. 69). But in 1677 the names of Ezra Perry, Senr., and Ezra Perry, Junr., are among those "added to a list of townsmen" (ibid., p. 73). Ezra Perry was appointed Constable 3 June 1679 (Plymouth Colony Court Orders, vol. 6, p. 11). The will of "Thomas Burges Senr. of Sandwich," dated 4 April 1684, gives "to my son Ezra Perry ... two lots I bought of Edmond Freeman Junr.," directs that if a son, Joseph Burges, prefers not to accept certain land under testator's conditions, then this, too, to "son Ezra Perry," and makes "sons Ezra Perry and Joseph Burges" co-executors (Barnstable County Probate Records). The records show that Ezra Perry conveyed lands by deeds of gift to his sons, probably as each reached his majority and it is evident that each child was given also a "marriage portion" in furniture and livestock. This is made plain by the will (vide post), under which the three unmarried children received their shares of "moveables" while the absence of mention of any real property in either will or inventory proves that the lands had been disposed of by deeds poll in the testator's lifetime. ================== Cape Cod History Blog (Capecodonline.com) Quaker Burial Ground By Robin Smith-Johnson, Published May 11, 2012 In 1694, the town of Sandwich gave to "their neighbors called Quakers, half an acre of ground for a burial place on the hill above the Canoe Swamp and between the 'Ways' at Spring Hill." According to capecodquakers.org, Sandwich has the oldest continuous meeting in America. The first meeting took place on April 13, 1657 at the home of William and Priscilla Allen at Spring Hill, East Sandwich. These early Quakers were persecuted and even jailed for holding illegal meetings. When Edward Perry, an early Quaker, died in 1695, there was no stone to mark his grave. It was the practice at the time to bury Quakers in unmarked graves. Perry was one of the first settlers of the town of Bourne and the first known clerk of the Meeting. He was often called "Edward, the Quaker". Added by Perry Baker Hall, his 7th great-grandson. He settled in Scorton on the eastside of Sandwich and was a leading member of the first Quaker establishment on the continent. Modified 9 September 2018 by jmedell | Perry, Luiet. Ezra (I141240)

Because Mary Hobart is said to be also from Barnham, and because the Joseph Clark who married Alice Fenn is also from Barnham and has ancestors named Rowland, could it be that Rowland Clark who m. Mary Hobart and Rowland Clark who m. Alice Fenn share ancestors? | Clarke, Joseph (I121645)
