Website http://iagenweb.org/pottawattamie/Biographies.htm accessed 13 Dec 2008: "Name: Graybill, Arno and Lula Submitted by: Gail Meyer Kilgore, Mar 2003 Publication: written by Neva Kuhr Arno Peter Graybill was a self-educated man and for many years a telephone lineman and maintenance man for the Western Telephone Co. in Carson, Iowa. He was also an efficient carpenter. Arno was born near Wheeler Grove in Pottawattamie Co. on Nov. 3, 1883 and died May 16, 1955. Arno's parents were John A. and Fannie [Green] Graybill, both natives of Pottawattamie County. Arno was married to Lula Grace Alley, who was born in Fremont County near Hillsdale, Iowa on June 4, 1886 and died Jan. 19, 1964. Seven children were born to this union: Ruth, Harold, Hope, Cloyd, Bea, Laura and Franklin. Ruth Ora married Stephen Brubaker in 1929 and died at the age of 22 years at the University Hospital in Iowa City, Iowa. She left a son Don LaRance, who at the present time is a Principal in the Inter-City School in DesMoines, Iowa. Harold Wayne, has retired from the U.S. Air Force and lives with his wife Lou in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Hope Vera is married to Wayne F. Carr and lives in Carson, Iowa as do their two sons Walter and Ken with their families. Cloyd LeRoy is also retired from the U. S. Air Force and lives with his wife Irene in Mesa, Arizona. Their son Robert is a student at the Illinois University. Bea Grace died at the age of 16 months. Laura Lucile married Homer Good and lives in Estes Park, Colorado, and they have three sons, William, Richard and Randall. Franklin Arno lives with his wife Jeanne in Fort Collins, Colorado. They have a son Daniel and a daughter Kathy. Franklin is a professor at CSU in Fort Collins and has written several textbooks on Statistics. Mrs. Lula Graybill was known around Carson for her kindness and her neighbors and friends and was a hard working woman and a wonderful mother. Mr. and Mrs. Graybill and their children are all members of the Reorganized Latter Day Saints Church. Mrs. Graybill was living in her home at 812 Lucust Street at the time of her death. It had been the Graybill home for 52 years." BIRTH: 1. Website: iagenweb.org/pottawattamie/hist-RLDS-wheelersgrove.htm: Members of the RLDS Church of the Wheeler's Grove Branch: John A. Graybill, b. 28 Apr 1853 at Potta. Co., IA, baptized 17 Oct 1865 at Potta. Co., death unknown. This is the date I use; it is confirmed by the 1900 census. The biographies quoted above seem to be inaccurate using a 4 Aug 1854 date. MARRIAGE: 1. See Biography above. Censuses confirm marriage. DEATH: 1. Father, wife, and some children are buried in the Old Mormon Cemetery in Grove Township, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. No gravestone for John is found. Death would seem to occur after the 1930 census. A common variant is the Ordinance Index date of Oct 1928 which the two quoted biographies above also use. I looked at the Pottawattamie County death records for 1900-1910 (FHL film 1477205) and did not find John. Available films at the FHL only extend to 1919. BURIAL: 1.

'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 6-8: "Christena Graybill, b. abt 1790, Jefferson, Wilkes Co. (now Ashe Co.), NC; md. 1807 to James Lewis. He was b. abt 1790, NC. Their children were an unknown son, an unknown daughter, Ester, Christina and Livisie (sp?), also an unknown number and names of other children. The three named daughters were [supposedly] born in Jackson Co., Ohio between 1827 and 1832." [May have come to Ohio in 1815 with the rest of the Stokers and Graybills. Appears author has taken this information from the 1850 census I quote below.] 3. A deed in which James Lewis is listed as a witness to his probable brother-in-law David Graybeal is listed in the Ashe Co., NC records per David's entry from Rootsweb.com Worldconnect 17 Feb 2004 database ":480580" of Donna Shell 4. Censuses: 1800 US: Ashe County, North Carolina. The total population for Ashe County, North Carolina in 1800 was 2785, including slaves. The 1800 Ashe County Census was the first for the northwestern most county in the Tar Heel State. This county was formed in late 1799 and included all of Wilkes County west of the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountain. The 977 square miles that then composed Ashe County has been further divided, first in 1849 to form Watauga County, North Carolina and again 10 years later to form Alleghany County. This record includes families who may have been living in those areas at the time. The original census was in rough alphabetic order, and this does not facilitate the research of particular communities. I include all interrelated families of this time and place to better show relationships. A word of explanation on some of these families: A. Mary and Barbara Burkett who married Peter and David Graybeal, had a father named Christian - unsure as to which is correct of the two. B. Elizabeth Eller appears to be Elizabeth Dick, the wife of Peter Eller who had just died per his probate of 1799.The one daughter is probably Mary; unsure who the two boys are since there should be three: Jacob, Henry, and George. John Eller would be Elizabeth's eldest son and married to Susannah Kerns. C. Henry Graybeal would have recently married Celia Henson and also the eldest son of [John] Peter and Christina [Wampler] Graybill who also appear to be in this same census. Note that Peter evidently had owned slaves at that time - the census does not say how many. D. One of the William Hensons could be somehow related to William Henson who marries Nancy Graybill and to Celia Henson who marries Henry Graybeal. E. The two Koons are probably brothers and are sons of Devault Koon judging from their ages. This would make them uncles to George Koons who eventually marries Mary Eller. F. James Lewis, b. abt. 1790, marries Christena Graybill in 1807 - there may be a connection with these two James Lewis. G. William Pennington marries Barbara (or Elizabeth) Eller and may be the younger of the two here listed. H. Michael Stucker is a misspelling for Michael and Catherine Eller Stoker with their three oldest children: Polly, David, and Elizabeth.

Some notes: A. One of the two William Penningtons is married to an Eller - I assume it is the one with a younger wife. B. One of the two Christian Burketts is probably the parent of Barbara and Mary who married Graybeal brothers. C. James Lewis married Christina Graybill. D. The older Peter Graybill would be John Peter and Christina Wampler Graybill. The other Peter and Henry would be their sons. E. Adam Wilker could be Adam Welker, father of James Welker who later marries Elizabeth Stoker. F. Surprisingly there is no Michael Stoker who should be there unless in adjoining county. G. One of the two George Koons should be the George Koons of this database. H. Not sure why two J. Ellers unless the transcriber inadvertently named the "J." as both Jacob when in fact the older one is John. Peter Eller would be a brother. I. The older Peter Graybill would be John Peter Graybill, father of the other two Graybills: Henry and Peter [Jr.].

Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 17-31, clarifies early North Carolina counties and land grant practices: "Land grants in North Carolina originated with an entry application which was filed in the county where the land was situated and if not lost are now on file there. This was followed, sometimes soon and sometimes years later by an order from the land office for the tract to be surveyed. Sometimes soon and sometimes years later the survey was made and a surveyor's plat filed with the Secretary of State in Raleigh. Then came the grant which may have been issued reasonably near the date of the survey or sometimes several years later. These grants, orders to survey and the survey itself are on file now in the Secretary of State's office at Raleigh... Many counties were formed from what originally was Rowan County, namely Surry and Guilford in 1770, Burke and Wilkes in 1777, Randolph in 1779, Iridell in 1788, Stokes in 1789, Buncomb in 1791, Ashe in1799, Davidson in 1822, Yancey in 1833, Davie in 1836 and Yadkin in 1850. Some of these counties were grandchildren of Rowan County; for instance Wilkes was taken partly from Burke and partly from Surry, Randolph from Guilford, Buncomb and Yancy form Burke, Ashe from Wilkes and Stokes and Yadkin from Surry. These facts must be kept in mind when tracing early Rowan County families." 6. Website http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/ashe/deeds/deedsabs.txt accessed 14 Dec 2008: "Ashe County, NC - Deeds - Abstracts of selected deeds." This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by Kyle R. Graybeal krgrebiel@verizon.net, 37 Spring Lake Drive, Stafford, VA 22554. Revised 9 October 2001. This file contains abstracts of selected deeds from Ashe County, North Carolina Land records, mostly involving Graybeal family members. The information contained herein does not constitute the sum total of deeds in the Ashe County records involving Graybeal individuals. There are a few incomplete fields in some records especially in acreage, land description & witness names. This means that I have not copied them, not that the information is missing from the court records. The file now includes more deeds and has been corrected for errors dealing with land grants appearing in the original file. In the original file, the entry date and the date the deed was signed were reversed. This new file corrects that problem. Information sorted in date order, which is yyyy-mm-dd. Grantee & Grantor names are [last], [first]. Witness names are [first], [last]. NFNR = North Fork of New River. Mn and Vn means Deed Books M new and V new respectively. Information in [] inserted by me and correct to the best of my knowledge. Information in () added for clarification. Price paid, proven date, and registered date not included to save space. I have this information on most deeds in case it is desired. Some compass directions are indicated by N, S, etc., rather spelled out. Deeds for state grants did not require witnesses' signatures. The indication that a particular person signed with an "x" is not consistent from record to record in this transcription. {Kerry's note: I have refined the list so as to cut it off after whom I think may be the first generation after John Peter Graybill and Christina Wampler; see that more complete list with John Peter Graybill - this partial list are for those only including the name of Henson}: Graybeal, Peter TO: Graybeal, David 100 a.

They possibly could have lived away from the others in an area that may not have received a census taker. 1851 Iowa State: Pottawattamie County. FHL film 1022203. The entire state was counted but only Pottawattamie listed everyone by name in the household and their ages; other counties only listed the head of the household and a numerical count without names of the various ages by sex in the household. No date is given when the census was taken but it was certified in Dec. 1851; however, the other counties show a Sep 1851 date which also appears more likely for Pottawattamie as well in light of ages given some children with known birthdays in October. Census return: Grabill: Levi [can't read age - 33?], Patience 25, Abigail 9, Selathiel 4, Patience 2, Levi infant.

Fisher, a descendant of Henry Fisher, notes in the PAF file accompanying his 3 Jul 2003 email to me B. FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 55-60, indicates a daughter Hannah Graybill, b. Nauvoo, IL between Abigail and Salathiel and a son Palmer Graybill, b. abt 1849 between Patience E. and John Arno. This information is presented very sketchily without any documentation and I am not sure I trust it yet. The 1851 census certainly shows an age gap between Abigail and Salathiel; however, Patience and Levi are too close age wise in my opinion. In further tracking down of Palmer, the name only shows up as a farmer aged 21 living in the household in the 1870 US census. This census does not include relationships. Upon close scrutiny the P in Palmer is actually an S and the scribbling after the S is debatable but does look something like "almer." No other census or source shows a Palmer and the 1870 census Palmer would perhaps seem like a poor spelling of Salathiel; however, just a few entries later we find Salathiel and his wife in a separate household. The name Palmer Graybill continues to be a mystery. 6. A partial quote from the book "Our Stoker Family Histories 1731-1881," Vol. II, comp. and ed. by Elayne Stoker, 2004, printed by Stevenson's Genealogy Center, Provo, UT, from an article entitled: "Polly Stoker": "Vivian Graybill, of Independence, Missouri, has worked on the Graybill genealogy for many years and since he plans to publish a book with a great amount of detailed information I will not list the names of their complete families. I will note the names of Michael and Polly's children and how they relate to other families in this book. I do have most family names if anyone wants to check it. [Kerry's note: the author lists each child and grandchild of Polly. See her file for the complete listing. I include only the immediate family in this individual's note.] "Joseph Levi Graybill, b. 3/12/1818, Jackson Co., Ohio. m. 3rd cousin Patience Smith. Levi and Patience settled Wheeler's Grove with George Graybill and his wife Mary Smith, sister to Patience. 1. Salathiel Graybill 2. Lafayette Graybill 3. David Graybill 4. John Graybill 5. Patience Graybill m. Sidney Pitt" [Kerry's note: the list is apparently not accurate since it doesn't show all children of this couple.] 7. The book "Mormon Redress Petitions, Documents of the 1833-1838 Missouri Conflict," edited by Clark V. Johnson, contains a copy of the "Scroll Petition" dated 28 Nov 1843 at Nauvoo, IL addressed to the U.S. Congress by members of the LDS Church who had property destroyed by Missouri mobs in the 1830's. Included with over a couple thousand signatures are those of Levi and Patience Graybill. 8. Per FHL book 977.77 H2b "Settlers of Western Iowa of Council Bluffs, Macedonia, Wheelers Grove..." which is a few pages of oral history transcribed 29 Mar 1936 from an interview with Mr. Frank Shinn. He recounts: "I will tell you who were the first white settlers here. There was Levi Graybill, he came with Brigham Young, and was the first settler anywhere around here. And John Winegar and Uncle John Smith. Those three were the first... Then there was Milton Pitt, who was a politician; he was Speaker of the House of Representatives and was a state senator. Milton Pitt married the daughter of Levi Graybill. She is alive yet, or was the last I heard..." 9. FHL film 934962, items 3 and 4, "History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa," by Field and Reed, 1907, pg. 197: "Grove Township... Many of these early settlers left Nauvoo intending to go to Utah, but for one reason or another they paused here and finally concluded to remain and few, if any, have had cause to regret it. The first to organize a religious body in the township were the Latter Day Saints. E.W. Briggs and W.W. Blair were the organizers, and the original members were John Smith and wife, E.W. Knapp and wife, A.J. Field and wife, James Otto and wife, Levi Graybill and wife, John Winegar and wife, Joseph Smith and wife, and Stephen Smith. John Smith was their first president and E.W. Knapp the first clerk. Services were held at residences of the different members and later at schoolhouses, but the society becoming more numerous and wealthy, in 1874 they erected a modest church building at a cost of $763. The membership had increased until in 1881 it had reached ninety and maintained a regular Sabbath School." 10.

Levi was the s/o Michael Graybill and Mary 'Polly' Stoker. Patience was b. 25 Nov 1825, Henry Co., IN; d. 14 Aug 1895, Macedonia, IA; bur. in the Mormon Trail Cemetery, Macedonia, IA. She was the d/o John Smith and Massie Koons. Levi and Patience were second cousins, the great-grandchildren of Peter Eller. They had two children while they lived in Illinois. In the spring of 1846, they moved with neighbors and relatives westward. In 1847, Levi found a waterfall on the Nishnabotna River, near Old Macedonia and filed a squatter's notice on the property, built a log cabin, then collected his wife and children who were staying in the Kanesville area. Salathiel was a new baby. Later the family moved to Wheeler's Grove. In 1886, Levi and Patience accompanied their youngest son, William, and his new wife, Alda Jane Osler, to Cheyenne Co., KS. After building a sod house on the claim, Levi and Patience returned to Iowa, but William stayed and raised a family. Levi, in his later years, planted and grafted peach and apple orchards wherever relatives allowed. He had a great skill with the grafting of trees and also developed a very smooth white potato which he called the Graybill Potato. He told tales about his adventures in the mission field in TN and about other early church happenings. He was much loved by the youngsters in 'Old Brushhollow', who looked forward with relish to his visits..." [Note: Levi's own testimony gives place of marriage as Quincy, Adams, Illinois area and not Nauvoo as this author reports.] Also mentioned on pp. 17-24: "In the early 1830's, the family was visited by Missionary John Fisher from Bloomfield Twp. and was introduced to the early Latter Day Saints church. Those who were old enough were baptized in 1833. Involved in the church, Michael Graybill Sr. and related families anxiously followed the news from Independence, MO. The wanted to gather with the Saints in Caldwell Co., MO to be part of Zion, the new Jerusalem. Michael sold his farm to his father, Peter Graybill Sr., who along with Henry, Michaels' brother, and sister Celia (Graybill) Henson, decided to stay in OH. In 1836, Michael and other relatives packed to make the trip to Far West, MO. They spent the winter with Stoker relatives in Monroe Co., IN, then arrived at Far West in September 1837. The family withstood the dangers and aggravations of mob attacks. They endured many hardships. They had their plows, wagons and horses taken and even their first crop was taken just before it was harvested. With no provisions of food for the coming winter, Michael's sons, Simeon and Levi, left to look for work. They found jobs chopping railroad ties for the Eastern Railroad in Hannibal, MO. But they were unable to collect their pay until the following spring of 1839, when they were allowed to take the amount of their earnings out in goods. This allowed them to obtain wagons and horses and move the related families to Quincy and Nauvoo, IL. Michael Sr. and his family, Simeon's family and Catherine (Eller) Stoker's lived eleven miles southeast of Quincy, IL. After the death of Joseph and Hyrum Smith in 1844, Simeon went to Nauvoo to help guard the secretly hidden bodies of Joseph and Hyrum. Fearful that the anti-Mormon mob might try to do further violence to Joseph's and Hyrum's bodies, their caskets were filled with sand for the public burial. By 1846, most of Nauvoo had been vacated. Michael Sr.'s and Levi's families had gone west and settled in Kanesville, now Council Bluffs, IA. Some of the related families went on to UT. Michael Sr.'s daughters, Juliana and Mary Ann, were among those who went to UT. Michael Sr.'s sister Barbara (Graybill) Stoker went to UT later..." 11.

"Our Family History Dating Back as Far as 1748," by Vivian Graybill: Graybill is a German name which probably means "dweller near a ditch." There are thirteen ways of spelling Graybill, Grabeel, Graybeal, Grabiel, Grabel, etc. the first spelling being Krehenbuth, is of Swiss origin. Christian Graybill, which is five generations back from Mary Ellen Graybill Mercer, was the first settler of our family coming from England, as Mennonites driven to Germany, Holland and England. (According to Mrs. Duvall of Walkerville, Maryland, she says the family history shows that Christian Graybeal was married to the daughter of King George III of England, whose name was Mary. She forsake the Church of England to become a Tundker, she had taken her money and rigged up a ship and went on to buy ten more ships.) Christian Graybeal's grandson, Peter Graybill, Sr. married Cristena Wampler, daughter of Peter and Barbara Wampler in 1780. Cristena, along with her little sister and a neighbor Child, was captured by the Delaware Indians and kept captive for seven years. The Indians were good to them and raised them as their own. When an exchange of prisoners took place, great Grandpa Wampler didn't know the children until Cristena sang her mother's lullaby. There is more to this story. One of the writers, Florence Wilson of Omaha, now deceased, refers to our ancestor, Conrad Grebel, connected with the early Ana Baptist people (before Mennonites) in Switzerland, as early as 1526. Conrad Grebel was born in the late 1400's, and according to Florence Wilson can be traced as far back as Ceasar Augustus, Conrad Grebel's descendants John and Christian Graybill, came over on the "Friendship" in 1727, leaving Rotterdam in 1726, landing in Philadelphia and later moved south. The Mennonites people in their historic preservation of Graybill records at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, have confirmed to us as late as July 1975, what several of our writers from coast to coast have offered as evidence of our early Graybill ancestors for several years. Twas a gratifying experience and brought joy to our souls and when things are clear and we don't have to guess, or suppose, or conjecture, the experience is very rewarding. [missing pages] ...north and one mile west of the present RLDS church. The families withstood the dangers and aggravations on mob attacks. They endured many hardships. They had their plows, wagons and horses taken and even their first crop was taken just before it was harvested. Simeon could take what he had to, but when his personal and prized saddle horse was taken, he reportedly became so angry he had to repent. With no provisions of food for the winter, Simeon and Levi left to look for work. They found jobs chopping railroad ties for the Eastern Railroad in Hannibal, Missouri. But they were unable to collect pay until the following spring of 1839 when they were allowed to take the amount of their earnings out in goods. This allowed them to obtain wagons and horses and move the related families to Quincy and Nauvoo, Illinois. Levi Graybill, who had married Patience Smith, lived in Nauvoo, Illinois. They received their Patriarchal Blessings from patriarch Hyrum Smith. The patriarch's office was one door west of Joseph Smith's red brick store. Levi went to Quincy to bring Polly and her mother, Catherine Eller Stoker to Nauvoo, for their Patriarchal Blessing from Hyrum Smith. Michael Sr. and his family, Catherine Eller Stoker and Simeon's family lived eleven miles southeast of Quincy, Illinois. After the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum Smith in 1844, Simeon Graybill went up to Nauvoo to help guard the secretly hidden bodies of Joseph and Hyrum. Fearful the anti-Mormon mob might try to do further violence to Joseph and Hyrum's bodies, their caskets were filled with sand for the public burial. By 1846 most of Nauvoo had been vacated. Michael Sr. and Levi's families had gone west and settled in Kanesville, now Council Bluffs, Iowa. Some of the related families went to Utah. Michael Sr.'s daughters, Julianna and Mary Ann went to Utah. Michael Sr.'s sister, Barbara Graybill Stoker went to Utah later. Simeon's wife Amanda Hill, died in 1848. Simeon's brother David and his wife Mahala Hill Graybill had both died. And Simeon's daughter Rachel, at ten years of age, died that same year. Rachel was buried along side her mother and aunt in Illinois. Simeon had three small children, William Ashby, Andrew and Aaron and his brother's young children Meredith, David Jr., Amanda and Almeda. In Dec. of 1848, Simeon took all seven small children by wagon to Kanesville, now Council Bluffs, Iowa. He stopped off shortly at Winterset, Iowa along the way. Simeon purchased 327 acres in old Brushollow, which joined his father's land on the west. Michael Sr. owned land three miles north of the old cemetery our family history association now maintains. Between Michael Sr.'s land and the old cemetery, the old "North Star" Branch log church was built on the bank close to Little Mosquito Creek This was 1/4 mile south of Gilliat on the Great [copy ends]." 12.

The following is a partial quote from an article entitled: "The Michael and Catherine Eller Stoker family as early Mormons in Ohio and Missouri," by Jimmie "B" Stoker, November 24, 1993, as reprinted in the book "Our Stoker Family Histories 1731-1881," Vol. II, comp. and ed. by Elayne Stoker, 2004, printed by Stevenson's Genealogy Center, Provo, UT. See the notes of Michael Stoker (1762-1838) for the full transcript of this article: "The Stokers join the LDS Church. Mormon missionaries come. During the fall of 1833 Michael Stoker (1762-1838) and his family, living in Bloomfield Township, Jackson County, Ohio first heard the preaching of the missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These missionaries exhorted them to join the new church and told them about Joseph Smith receiving inspired revelations from God. In addition the Church was noted for its new scripture, the Book of Mormon. The Stokers were drawn to the message. Many accepted baptism before the end of 1833. They included sixteen-year-old John Stoker (1817-1881) who was baptized November 13, 1833 by Seymour Brunson(1) and four days later his double cousin, fifteen-year-old Joseph Levi Graybill, who was baptized by John A. Fisher.(2) These two grandsons of Michael Stoker (1762-1838) were among the first of the Stoker family to embrace the new church. In 1834 Seymour Brunson moved his family to Bloomfield and organized a branch of the Church.(3) John's parents, David (1795-1852) and Barbara Graybill Stoker, joined the branch during that year. David's younger brother, Michael, Jr., (1805-1858) was affiliated with the Mormons. Evidence of his affiliation with the church comes from the fact that his son, born on July 10, 1834 was named, "William Moroni." Clearly the name Moroni marked Michael as having read the Book of Mormon. Moreover, in his journal Michael, Jr., writes, "The names of the members who were baptized by me in February, 1836. Baptized James Toinbuson and ordained him an elder." He also baptized William and Barbara Stoker that year.(4) Michael held the Mormon priesthood to officiate in these ordinances. The Stokers and their relatives were very enthusiastic about their new church. They contributed to its growth and sustained its leadership. The McDaniel connection. The children and grandchildren of Michael Stoker (1762-1838) had an affinity to marry the children of James McDaniel and Zibiah McCarley, neighbors in Jackson County. John W. Stoker (1802-1857) married Electa Sarah McDaniel (1806-1857) on April 19, 1827. Michael Stoker, Jr., (1805-1858) married her sister, Martha Carr McDaniel, on Jan 1, 1829. A grandson, John Stoker (1817-1881), and a granddaughter, Christine Stoker (1815-1854), children of David Stoker (1795-1852), married Jane McDaniel (1810-1890) on January 21, 1836 and John Riley McDaniel on February 8, 1835. Nineteen-year-old John, in addition to marrying Jane, also adopted her son, Alma. Family tradition says that Alma's father would not consider joining the LDS church so Jane left him. About a month after her son's birth, Jane married John Stoker, the nephew of her two brothers-in-law. The Kirtland Temple is dedicated. In the spring of 1836, some members of the Bloomfield branch made the 200 mile trip north to Kirtland, Ohio to attend the dedication of the temple. In that group was Michael Stoker's son-in-law and grandson, Michael Graybill, Sr., and Joseph Levi Graybill. Michael Graybill's wife, Polly Stoker (1792-1864), was expecting the birth of her eleventh Child, a son who was born April 6, 1836. She didn't go with them. Michael Graybill while at the conference and temple dedication at Kirtland was impressed by Sidney Rigdon's two and a half hour sermon. Upon returning to Bloomfield, he named his newly born son, Sidney Rigdon Graybill.(5) Picture p. 3: "Barbara Graybill and her son, John Stoker... War and plunder hit the Stokers. The Stoker brothers holdings were located about one mile southeast of land deeded to Orin Porter Rockwell. The involvement of Orin Porter Rockwell in the Danites, may have been one reason that the mob torched this part of the county in 1838 during the attempt to drive the Mormons from the state. Interestingly enough, in Charles C. Rich's account of the Mormon-Missouri conflict in 1838, the following is stated. "A sketch that I was an eye witness to in the State of Missourie Charles C. Rich on the 24th of october 1838 Messengers Come into Farwest stating that the mob was on Log creek burning houses and Loaded waggons and threatening the lives of the people those was a few men Sent out to ascertain the movements of the mob these men returned a bout eleven O Clock at night Stateing that thare had been considerable Damage Done and also that they had taken three of the Brethren prisoners and intended to kill them that night the trumpet was Sounded and men com together an prepard for to march in haste in persuit of the mob that we might Deliver our Brethren out of their hands we raised all the men we Could till we got to Braggs on Logg Creek where we organised them in to...a company and found we had about Seventy five men David W Patten was first in Command and Charles C. Rich Second..."(15) The pursuit continued into Ray County where the Battle of Crooked River was fought. David Patten was killed. Needless to say, the Stoker brothers, Eller, John W., and Michael, Jr., and others of the family was involved. Their nephew, Joseph Levi Graybill, Polly Stoker Graybill's son in a statement made when he was an old man, says, "I went with my father's family and others, to Caldwell County, Missouri, in the autumn of 1837, and was with the Saints there in the time of their terrible trials. We planted a crop there in the spring of 1838, which we were never permitted to harvest. I was a member of the State Militia under Colonel Hinkle. The mob came upon us near Far West, in October, 1838...for weeks they had been stealing and driving off our stock, taking a team of horses from my father, and all the horses I owned. When the mob came up on us first they demanded Joseph Smith, parley Pratt, Sidney Rigdon, Lyman Wight and George W. Robinson appear in camp. Colonel Hinkle surrendered these men, telling us that these Missourians wanted to have a talk with them. Imagine our surprise when we were informed that these men were prisoners...and would be shot the next morning at 9 o'clock at Far West."(16) The Stoker family members endured many hardships. They had their plows, wagons, tools, mill wheel, beehives, pigs and horses stolen. Their furniture was damaged. Guns and rifles were taken. Joseph Levi Graybill's brother, Simeon, suffered also, but when his personal and prized saddle horse was stolen, he reportedly became so angry he had to repent.(17)... The Missourians call the shots. As the Missourians gained the upper-hand, they gave the Mormons the ultimatum to be out of Missouri by the spring of 1839. Thousands of Mormons were faced with very bleak prospects. Some were being hunted for supposed crimes during the conflict. Others were just trying to find food and shelter for their families. It was a dreary scene in which Nancy Stoker (1838-1920), a granddaughter of Michael Stoker (1762-1838) and first daughter of Jacob, was born on December 21, 1838. The young men of the Stoker family were out looking for work and the means by which to support their dispossessed families. Simeon and Levi Graybill, the sons of Polly Stoker, sought work along the Mississippi River. As Levi says, "I left Far West just before Christmas, 1838, arriving at Hannibal, Missouri on Christmas Day. I chopped cord wood and split rails near Hannibal for the purpose of getting money to help my father's family away from Missouri, but when I came to settle I had to take my pay out of the store, so I was compelled to trudge back through the snow over 200 miles. I secured a team to take my father's family to Illinois in the spring of 1839."(18) The Stokers leave Missouri Leaving her husband, Michael, buried in Missouri, Catherine Eller Stoker (1773-after 1850) and her large family, helped each other, left Far West, Missouri and joined the hundreds of Saints who were on the road heading east to Illinois at the time. Little is known about the Stoker family's journey other than Joseph Levi Graybill's account of securing a team and taking his father's family to Illinois. There is some question if Alexander and Catherine Stoker Lackey and their four children were with the Stokers. A great granddaughter says they stayed in Missouri only a year.(19) The Lackey family would not follow the saints to Illinois, but would return to Jackson County, Ohio..." Footnotes 1.

Partial transcription from an article entitled "Michael Stoker and Catherine Eller." from the book "Our Stoker Family Histories 1731-1881," Vol. II, comp. and ed. by Elayne Stoker, 2004, printed by Stevenson's Genealogy Center, Provo, UT. See notes of Michael Stoker for full transcription of this article: "During the Adams County time period some of the Stoker men found work with a farmer named Coleman Wilkes. Mr. Wilkes lived approximately two miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio. He had first offered work and a home to Elizabeth's husband, James Welker, and soon after David, John W., Michael, and Jacob also obtained work with him. Here they labored diligently trying to earn enough to rebuild their supplies and stock which they had lost during the Missouri struggles. Moving to Bear Creek, Hancock Co., Illinois On July 1, 1839 the Mormon Church's prophet and leader, Joseph Smith, called for all church members to settle in and around the Commerce, Illinois area. The town of Commerce was renamed by the church members to Nauvoo. In 1842 the Stoker family had complied. Packing up their belongings they moved north settling their families around the Carthage/Bear Creek area. James Welker's son, John, recorded: "...he found that there was land that could be entered in Hancock County, about 15 miles south of Nauvoo. He moved there and filed on a homestead. Part of it was prairie land and part was timber. He built a large hewed two roomed log house. Then the next thing was to fence and make a farm to make a living off of" (Ibid). The 1842 personal property tax assessment book of Hancock County has records for Stoker, Welker, and Graybill families living within the county. These records indicate the possibility that they lived outside of the cities." Building the Nauvoo Temple The Stoker families were on hand for the building of the temple for their church. It is recorded in the church history that Eller Stoker, Jacob Stoker, and John McDaniel (husband to Christine Stoker) worked on the temple for a period of time. All families were expected to donate time and supplies to the temple project... Life was beginning to flourish again for the families, and happy times were with them. On May 23, 1844 Joseph Levi Graybill, Eller Stoker, and Michael Stoker were initiated and passed into the Nauvoo Lodge of Masons. Two weeks later Levi Graybill, Eller Stoker, and Michael Stoker became lodge members, and on June 8th they were raised to Master Masons. While in Illinois, John Stoker, John W. Stoker, John Welker Eller Stoker, and Jacob Stoker were given church callings of Office of the Seventy. Death of Joseph and Hyrum Smith Living around Carthage the Stoker, Graybill, and McDaniel families were homesteading lands close to those who most violently disagreed with the Mormons and who were constantly calling for their removal. Sometimes these men formed their own vigilante groups trying to scare the Mormons into leaving. Some of the Stoker men folk were called into military duty within the State Militia as recorded in the history of John McDaniel. "Early on June 24, Joseph and Hyrum Smith, John Taylor, and fifteen other members of the Nauvoo city council headed to Carthage to answer the charges filed against them. They passed the home of William Stoker located six miles southeast of Nauvoo on the Carthage Road before 8 A.M.... Sometime after noon, the Stokers saw the mounted riders traveling toward Nauvoo. Arriving at their destination at 2:30, the leaders gathered three small cannons and about two hundred firearms which were turned over to the militia. At nearly midnight the militia delivered the Mormon leaders who came voluntarily to the authorities in Carthage... Thursday June 27 Joseph and his brother Hyrum, were martyred. A mob of about one hundred men with blackened faces gathered about five 'clock in the afternoon. Several stormed the jail where the Smith brothers and a few friends were sequestered. Joseph and Hyrum were shot dead, and John Taylor wounded...the assassins and their comrades fled Carthage to Warsaw and then sought refuge west of the Mississippi River... Friday June 28, with the bodies of the slain leaders placed in two different wagons, covered with branches to shade them from the hot sun, Willard Richards, Samuel Smith, and Artois Hamilton pulled out of Carthage and headed for Nauvoo. Sometimes shortly after noon, the procession with eight soldiers passed by William Stoker's driving teams pulling the two wagons containing the bodies of the martyrs. Mary Stoker Aitken, a granddaughter of William Stoker and Almira Winegar, wrote, "My father [John Stephen Stoker] told us that his parents had told him that they had seen the bodies of the Prophet and his brother Hyrum Smith, being taken from Carthage to Nauvoo." ...One of the Stoker relative's narrative mentions that "After the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum in 1844, Simeon Graybill went up to Nauvoo to help guard the secretly hidden bodies of Joseph and Hyrum. Fearful the anti-Mormon mob might try to do further violence to Joseph and Hyrum's bodies, their caskets were filled with sand for public burial" (Ibid). Conflict/Harassment Again. In 1845 the mobbing and burnings began, starting with the outlying settlements. The Stokers were living within the church area called the Highland branch of Illinois. The babies, weddings, and all manner of social life continued on and in July the families were doing more temple work for their ancestors. Again the families grew; new events were attended to. Jacob and John Stoker also joined the Masons and were later raised to Master Masons. Sheriff of Hancock County ordered the saints to organize and protect themselves. "John Welker tells how he and his cousins mutually watched out for each other. His account follows: 'The mob (against) the Latter-day Saints was increasing and I but a boy of 18 was the oldest of the boys that was at hoe. My oldest brother was married and doing for himself. I was the one to look after the family after my father died and when the burning out of the later day Saints by the mob commenced close by I was in a settlement 10 miles for whare {sic} they were burning houses and some of my cousins and relative lived close to whare {sic} I lived. We got together and agreed to take turnes {sic} and watch the mob and do the best we could to protect our homes. Some one was out every night watching their movements. They did not come to our little settlement to burn us out, if they had come some of them would have been hurt. Thare {sic} is many things connected with this I will not write.' (Punctuation added.) Not all of the Stoker relatives were as fortunate as the Welkers, John McDaniel and his wife Christine Stoker, according to one history, "...were greatly persecuted with the other saints and several times were driven out by the mobs. On one occasion they were attacked and forced to flee with a child under each arm while their home was burned" (Ibid). Nauvoo Temple Dedicated. In late 1845 the church's Nauvoo Temple was dedicated and many of the saints came to the temple to perform their own religious (endowment) ordinances. Between January 5 and January 21, of 1846 sixteen heads of the Stoker clan had received their own temple endowment. Michael Stoker Jr. and Catherine Burcham Jacob Stoker and Martha Carr McDaniel Eller Stoker and Margaret Judd Catherine Eller Stoker (widow) Elizabeth Stoker Welker (widow) James W. Welker and Anna Pugh John Stoker and Jane McDaniel John W. Stoker and Sara McDaniel William Stoker and Almira Winegar Records from the Nauvoo temple show that the Stoker family participated in other religious temple activities: Catherine Eller Stoker, Michael Stoker (son), Eller Stoker (son) and wife Margaret (Judd) Stoker (Eller's wife), James Welker and wife Elizabeth Stoker Welker, and Mary (Polly) Stoker (Graybill) all did baptisms by proxy for their deceased relatives." 17. The book "Mormons at the Missouri, 1846-1852 -- And Should We Did...," by Richard E. Bennett (Univ. of Oklahoma Press; Norman and London), p. 306, footnote #33: "Levi Graybill's decision to leave the church is evidence that some were defecting because no president had been sustained: "I think that it was in the spring of 1847," he recalled years later, "that Bishop Miller came ... and stated to us that we had no church, for the church could not exist without a head, and that we were without a prophet in the flesh." "Testimony of Elder Levi Graybill," Journal of History 4 (January 1911): 109." BIOGRAPHY: 1. From the RLDS publication "Journal of History," vol. 4, num. 1, Jan, 1911, pp. 104-110 (includes photo of Levi). Levi had been prominent in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and his testimony reflects many of the RLDS beliefs after 1844. The text: "Testimony of Elder Levi Graybill. (We herewith present the testimony of Father Graybill, whom we believe to be the senior member of the [RLDS] church.) I, Levi Graybill, now of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, my pilgrimage having been extended far beyond that of the average man, and knowing that I must soon pass away, am desirous of leaving on record my testimony to the work of the Lord as it has been revealed and established in these last days. I was born in Bloomfield Township, Jackson County, Ohio, March 12, 1818, and was 92 years old March 12, 1910. I was baptized into the Latter Day Saints' Church November 17, 1833, and have been a member of that church ever since that time. I was ordained an elder in the year 1836, in Jackson County, Ohio. I visited Kirtland, Ohio, while that was the headquarters of the church. I was well acquainted with Joseph the Martyr, with Hyrum, Sidney Rigdon, and most of the leaders of the church. I got acquainted with Joseph at Kirtland. I went with my father's family and others to Caldwell County, Missouri, in the autumn of 1837, and was with the Saints there in the time of their terrible trials. We planted a crop there in the spring of 1838, which we were never permitted to harvest. I was a member of the State Militia under Colonel Hickle. The mob came upon us near Far West, in October, 1838. For weeks before the mob came upon us they had been stealing and driving off our stock; taking a team of horses and wagon from my father, and all the horse[s] I owned. When the mob came upon us first they demanded that Joseph Smith, Parley P. Pratt, Sidney Rigdon, Lyman Wight, and George W. Robinson appear in camp. Colonel Hinkle, through cowardice and treachery, surrendered these men, telling us that these Missourians wanted to have a talk with them. Imagine our surprise when we were informed that these men were prisoners in the hands of a merciless, bloodthirsty mob. We were told by the mob that we would never see those beloved leaders again, as they would be shot the next morning at 9 o'clock at Far West. How our hearts did ache and what mental anguish we endured as we contemplated the sacrifice of these men, and you may imagine that many an earnest prayer went up to the Lord of hosts during the night. It is morally certain that had it not been for the providence of God these men would have met the fate intended by their captors, General Doniphan (honored forever be his name) took a firm stand against the wicked intentions of the mob, telling them that the carrying out of the order would be cold-blooded murder. The mob held council over us for two or three days to decide what should be the fate of the people, whether they should be put to death or driven from the State in harmony with the murderous exterminating order issued by Governor Boggs. I am of the opinion that the determined stand taken by General Doniphan helped us not a little, and probably saved our lives. The impetuous Lyman Wight, with whom I was well acquainted, wanted to fight the mob giving as his opinion that it would be only a breakfast spell to whip the Missourians, Lyman was a brave and good man, knowing not what fear was. When told by one of the mobocrats that he would be shot the next morning if he did not betray Joseph Smith, he replied, 'Shoot and be damned, for that is what you will get anyway.' It is to be hoped that the recording angel dropped a tear on the little swear word, and thus blotted it out for ever. These were indeed the times that tried men's souls, and if our religion had been what the world is prone to believe; if there had not been in and with it not only the saving power of God, but the divine evidence of its truth, surely we would have abandoned it, and thus saved ourselves from robbery, persecution, and death. But God in his mercy had given us the knowledge of his truth, and not all the power of men and devils could drive us from it. We could be despoiled, we could die, but we could not forsake the way of the Lord. It was during these dark and trying days that incidents occurred to show us the true character of Joseph Smith in all its grandeur. While the mob was destroying, stealing, and burning our property, and while some of our men wanted to resist and try to drive the mob, he exhorted them to take joyfully the spoiling of the goods and not return evil for evil. At the time of the trouble at Far West the report was sent to the governor by evil designing men that we had the town of Far West walled in a mile square, the wall being 16 feet high and 10 feet thick. The fact was we had no breastworks, and had made little preparation to repel an attack, and the night before we surrendered I and the company of militia to which I belonged toiled all night making a rude breastwork of logs, rails, and dirt. Two incidents that occurred then should be recorded. While we were under guard one of the guards called to me. At first I paid no attention to his call, but after it was repeated a few times I went to him and asked him what he wanted. He said 'I just wanted to talk with you. He said 'you are in bad hands, and we pity you. Jackson County had been settled 26 years, and Caldwell County but 3 years, and this is the best improved county. We know that you could not have accomplished what you have if you had been the kind of people you are represented to be.' This shows that not all the Missourians were bad; but this was an exception. They were blinded by prejudice and false reports. This man asked where that company of white horses were. I told him that I did now know of but four white horses that belonged to us. He said as they were coming in they saw a company of white horses one half mile long between them and Far West. Their riders were dressed in white, and carried silver trumpets. He said they halted until this white robed company went away. This man was from Jackson County. Another man, by the name of Julius Beach, from Ray County, told the same story, only he made the number greater, saying that it took an half hour for them to pass a given point. I left Far West just before Christmas, 1838, arriving at Hannibal, Missouri, Christmas Day. I chopped cord wood and split rails near Hannibal for the purpose of getting money to help my father's family away from Missouri; but when I came to settle I had to take my pay out of the store, so I was compelled to trudge back through the snow, over two hundred miles, I secured the use of a team to take my father's family to Illinois. We settled on the Mississippi, ten miles below Quincy, Illinois. This was in the spring of 1839. I was married to Patience Smith June 21, 184l she shared my joys and sorrows for 54 years; when she fell asleep in Jesus, and now awaits me on the other shore. We moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, in the fall of 1845. I was present at the April conference in Nauvoo in 1844, and I here state that at this conference I heard the Prophet state publicly that he had had the care of the church for fourteen years, and that he was weary; that he had labored hard to establish the church, and must rest; and that he longed to see the day that he could take his satchel and travel under the direction of young Joseph. And to the Twelve he said, 'It is for you to bear the kingdom to the nations of the earth.' I was well acquainted with Joseph and Hyrum Smith, and most all of the early leaders of the church, and I do not believe that such a thing as polygamy was ever practiced by any of them during the lifetime of the martyrs. At the conference of April, 1844, Hyrum Smith said from the stand that some had been teaching spiritual wifery, which meant polygamy, and addressing the sisters he said: 'If any man makes such a proposition to you, if you will put a dagger to his heart I will plead your cause in the day of judgment.' The first of the g[i]fts I ever witnessed I was in Jackson County, Ohio, shortly after I was baptized. My own sister Catherine, afterwards the wife of Philip Gatrost, spoke in tongues. Some time after this the same sister spoke tongues again, when there was a linguist present by the name John D. Baker, and he said the tongue spoken was Hebrew and that she had evidently learned the language; but I know she had not. I myself enjoyed the gifts to some extent. My poor, weak, stammering tongue has been made to speak the praises of God, and tell of his goodness and promised blessings, in language incomprehensible to me. God has mercifully healed the sick sometimes instantaneously, under my hands, and in answer to my feeble prayers, of this I speak in humble reverence to his great name. One more instance I wish to speak of. I was with the emigration that came from Nauvoo in the spring of 1846, and arrived at Kanesville, now Council Bluffs, in June of that year. I think that it was in the spring of 1847 that Bishop George Miller came from the East, and stated to us that we had no church, for the church could not exist without a head, and that we were without a prophet in the flesh. It was this reasoning that moved the church to elect Brigham Young president, seer, and revelator. The vote was taken at a time that the members were called together for the purpose, when it was well known that the great body of the church was not there. I stood aloof from Brigham Young and all the other factions, staying on the Iowa side of the Missouri River. I was baptized into the Reorganized Church in 1859 by Bro. William W. Blair, when he and Edmund C. Briggs first came to Iowa. I had waited long and anxiously during the dark days for the coming of young Joseph to take his father's place, an event which had been impressed upon my mind by the Holy Spirit. I was sent on a mission to Kentucky and Tennessee in 1865, and after returning from there labored locally until old age compelled me to desist. I received my patriarchal blessing under the hands of Hyrum Smith, and have found it true as the years have come and gone. I bear my testimony here probably for the last time upon earth, for in all human probability before this shall appear in print I shall have passed to the beyond; but I want my words to be had by posterity. I know that this is the work of God; and that the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation. While I am very feeble in body, my mind is clear and my memory is perfect as to things about which I here testify. In taking leave of you I exhort you all to contend earnestly for the faith. Keep it in purity of soul, untainted by sectarianism, for that is the great danger of the church. Stand in the way and inquire for old paths. Be kind and merciful to one another; bearing with and strengthening each other. With this council I give you my blessing and benediction. Levi Graybill." 2. Patriarchal blessing from Hyrum Smith at Nauvoo, IL, Oct. 4, 1841: "Beloved Brother I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus to bless you with a blessing, which is called Patriarchal and confirm upon your head your Ordination into the Priesthood and to seal a promise upon you of the gift of that Priesthood to your full satisfaction at a more mature age, after experience has rolled over your head. Then shall ye behold the display of the goodness of God, unto your satisfaction. Then shell ye appreciate all his Mercies and be enabled to do good in your Calling, wherein you are called, then shall you be a chosen vessel having received the anointing and the Endowment in the Lord's House.

No date is given when the census was taken but it was certified in Dec. 1851; however, the other counties show a Sep 1851 date which also appears more likely for Pottawattamie as well in light of ages given some children with known birthdays in October.

From the book "Our Stoker Family Histories 1731-1881," Vol. II, comp. and ed. by Elayne Stoker, 2004, printed by Stevenson's Genealogy Center, Provo, UT. The following is a partial excerpt from the longer article entitled "David Stoker and Barbara Graybill," which is quoted in its entirety in the notes of David Stoker: "By August of 1815 David and Barbara had settled into family life in Bloomfield, Jackson County, Ohio. It was on the 24 August 1815 that their first child was born: Christine Stoker. By the spring of 1816, David's parents had also joined them on the new frontier of the Ohio River Valley. David and his father, Michael, are listed on the Jackson County, Ohio, voting registry for an election that was held on 1 April 1816. Also, David's youngest brother, Eller, was born in Bloomfield, Ohio. John Stoker, second son of David and Barbara, was born north of Bloomfield. He was born on 8 March 1817, in Madison Township, Jackson County, Ohio. William, their next Child, was born 26 March 1819 in Bloomfield Township, Jackson County, Ohio: [1820 Census:] David Stoker- Head of Family One female age 26-45, (Barbara Graybill age 28), One male age 16-26 (David age 25), One male 10-16 yrs (unknown), One female and two males under the age of 10 (Christena age 5, John age 3 and WIlliam age 1). The record also indicates that four people were engaged in agriculture. Two of these were probably David and Barbara. The record also listed two male slaves. The slaves were listed as one male 26-45 yrs of age and one male under the age of 14. It is interesting to note that between 1815 and 1824 that the family residential township changed four times. It is unknown why this occurred. Madison and Bloomfield Townships are located next to each other. It is probable that one of the following reasons accounts for this: The boundaries continually shifted during this time. The family lived on the border line of the two counties and which one was recorded depended on the person recording the event. The family was constantly on the move. After William, the rest of the children of David and Barbara were born in Bloomfield County, Illinois [KP: typo for Ohio?]: Nancy Stoker- October 1824 (No information on what day) Sarah Stoker- on 20 June 1827 Catherine Stoker- on 24 July 1829 Michael Stoker- on September 1833 David and his family are not listed on the 1830 census records for Ohio or Indiana. (The family of John Stoker listed on the 1830 census in Ohio is that of David's brother, John W. Stoker.) A Change of Religion Between the years of 1830 to 1836 David and Barbara Stoker along with some of the extended family received missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of these missionaries were: Seymour Brunson, John A. Fisher, and Luke Johnson. All baptized members of the Stoker family into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. John Stoker (David's son) was baptized by Seymour Brunson and Luke Johnson in 1834. David's younger brother, Michael Jr., baptized Barbara in 1836. ('LDS Biographical Encyclopedia.' Andrew Johnson Vol 2 pg. 252. Luke Johnson, Autobiography in 'Millennial Star' 1864, Lewis p 92)... An article in the local paper records that there was strong religious persecution against members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Vega area. This fighting lead to some families leaving Vega. ('Jackson Herald,' Friday, February 27, 1959 and cited in Jim Stoker's Stoker history 1993) It was in the fall and winter of 1836 that David Stoker, his father, Michael, with their families and some of the Graybill families left the Ohio valley traveling west. On the 15 August 1838, David bought 52+ acres of land in Harrison County, Indiana. His brother, William, bought 120 acres in Madison County, Indiana. (Bureau of Land Management- Eastern States- General land Office, records of the Ohio River Valley Survey) Other members of the extended Stoker family were already living in Indiana. David's sister, Elizabeth and her husband, James Welker, were married in Henry County, Indiana in 1828, and it's possible that their first son was born there. Albert Koons, a relative of Catherine Eller (David's mother), lived in Henry County, Indiana along with other Eller families. (The Indiana connections need to be fully researched to understand the detail of the different families movements.)... It was also in 1840 that David and Barbara's sixteen year old daughter, Nancy, passed away. Some ancestral records state that Nancy is buried in Vega. For this to be possible she would have been with her Aunt Catherine at the time. Catherine was living with or near her in-laws, the Lackeys. (I have not located at this time Nancy's actual death or burial record.)... All of David and Barbara's children settled south of the Salt Lake City valley except for: Nancy who died at age 16, and John who settled in Bountiful, Utah with his friend and leader Lorenzo Snow..." 4.

| 4257 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Reviewed Ancestry.com 10 Dec 2002. 2. Censuses: 1856 Utah Territorial Census was taken because Utah was trying to get statehood to avoid some of the problems that later came. As a result they wanted as many people as possible and frequently included names of everyone in a family without regard to whether they were living or dead. As a result, some of the people listed with the family may not actually have been in the household in 1856. The Adair and Mangums listed included the following heads of households in the Provo and Payson City area: George W. Adair, James Mangum, Joseph Adair (wife Rebecca), Samuel Adair, and Thomas Adair. I am not sure who the Ann is that is listed here and so I am guessing that it is Ann Chestnut. Likewise, her brother William may also be the William on the same list.

" George " Jane " Newton " Rufus " Catherine " William " Joseph " Emily " Ezra T. " Joshua " Eliza J. " 3. See research notes with sister Ann Chestnut for discussion of Missouri as a likely birthplace. BIOGRAPHY: 1. From email of 26 Dec 2001 email of Norma Entrekin [nje@mindspring.com] in speaking of Samuel Jefferson Adair: "The Mangums and Adairs appear to have been family friends and it is thought they moved together from So. Carolina to Alabama about 1828 or 1829 and then later to Mississippi. While in Mississippi, the Mangums and Adairs heard of the Mormons and joined the church there. Shortly after this they moved to Nauvoo, Illinois to be with the Mormons. They were driven from their homes and were forced to cross the Mississippi River in the winter of 1846. Then they established residence in Pottawattomie County, Iowa. This was Indian territory, and they had to get permission from the Indians to settle and do a little farming. While living in Iowa, due to improper food and unhealthy drinking water, and general unhealthy living conditions, there were many deaths in the camps. Samuel's son Ezra Taft Benson Adair was born in Iowa at Mt. Pisgah and died one day later. The baby's mother, and Samuel's wife, Gemima died 2 days later of complications of childbirth at age 39 after having her 10th child. At her death, the living children ranged in ages from 2 to 15. One can only imagine his grief, at losing his wife, new baby and 7 other family members in less than 2 years. Samuel must have loved Children, as he raised 3 extra ones; they were David L. Sechrist, Ann Catherine Chestnut, and her brother, Alfred Chestnut. While in Iowa, Samuel took David L. Sechrist to raise. Later, as they crossed the plains, he took the other two, the Chestnut Children. He later adopted them. It is thought that their parents had died on the trip across the plains. When they arrived in Salt Lake, the Chestnut boy recognized his genetic father's team of horses. The driver of the team of horses told Samuel to shut the boy up or he would shut him up himself. (So, perhaps the driver had stolen the team of horses.) The girl, Ann Catherine Chestnut married Samuel's son, George W. Adair, and later died at 19 in childbirth, I believe, with their second child. The Adairs and Mangums first settled in the Payson-Nephi area. On the 3rd of March, 1857, the Mangums and Adairs left for Dixie [Southern Utah]." 2. See notes with Sarah Mary Chestnut for extensive biography of the Samuel Adair family and her husbands and families. It indicates when he grew up he went back east to find relatives. He never returned. | Chestnut, William Alfred (I1544)

In my files, I have a copy of "Kenilworth Journals" prepared by Fred Westergard for the 2002 Westergard reunion. Using various sources, Fred has collected excerpts of the journals of various passengers who were on the same voyage from Denmark as was Maren Christensen Westergard (23) and her future husband Swen Olson (26). These journals are too lengthy for this database, but I do herein summarize some pertinent information. (Also note that Fred prepared a similar typescript called "Emerald Isle Journals" for Maren's mother and two brothers of which I have included a summary with their notes in this database and of which I also have a complete copy on file.) Maren Christensen Westergard was part of the first of that year's emigration of Saints who left Copenhagen by the steamer "Aurora" May 17, 1866, and arrived early on the following day, May 18th, in Kiel, from which city the company went by train to Altona. From there the women and children continued in a small steamer to Hamburg, while the men walked to the same place. On their arrival in Hamburg, the emigrants were lodged for the night in a large emigrant building, and the following day went on board the double-decked ship "Kenilworth." She emigrated to the United States from Hamburg, Germany on 25 May 1866 aboard the 987 ton square rigger sailing ship "Kenilworth," commanded by Captain J. Brown. The emigrants were divided into 42 messes, each containing from twelve to seventeen persons, and a president appointed over each mess. The route around the north of Scotland was chosen and one day the ship, driven by contrary winds out of its course, got so close to the west coast of Norway that its rocky cliffs were plainly seen The Shetland and Orkney Islands were soon passed and the winds were favorable for about three weeks. After that there was continuous headwinds and fog for five weeks, which made the voyage both long and dreary. Capt. Brown and the ship's crew treated the passengers in a kind and generous manner, allowing them all the privileges that could reasonably be expected. The provisions were satisfactory and the sick received good attention. Maren was married aboard the "Kenilworth" by Samuel Lindsay Sprague according to the Manuscript History of the Scandinavian Mission, Vol. 10, May 25, 1866 entry, Andrew Jensen notes. The "Kenilworth" arrived at Castle Garden and anchored in New York Harbor on the night of 16 Jul 1866, the weather being extremely hot. Elder Samuel Lindsay Sprague, assisted by Elders Morten Lund, Fred R.E. Bethelsen and Ole H. Berg, presided over the company of 684 saints (583 Danes, 23 Norwegians, 73 Swedes, and 5 Germans). During the voyage there were 12 deaths, 7 marriages, and 2 births. In America, the Church emigration office had experienced much trouble in making the necessary arrangements for transporting the emigrants from New York to Wyoming, Nebraska. The railroad companies had apparently planned to speculate at the expense of the Mormons, and hence asked an unusually high price for conveying the emigrants westward. At length a satisfactory contract was made by an entirely new route which was several hundred miles longer but much cheaper than what the more direct route used to be. On the evening of the same day they disembarked at Castle Garden, and on 17 Jul 1866 they took a large freight steamer to New Haven, Connecticut where they landed on the morning of July 18th. After staying there a few hours, the journey northward by train begun, passing through the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont to Montreal in Canada. Here the emigrants had to accept passsage in some very uncomfortable and dirty freight and cattle cars, in which they traveled through Canada, the route of travel being along the north bank of the St. Lawrence River and the shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, to the St. Clair River. On the evening of July 20th, a part of the train jumped the track near Port Hope on the banks of Lake Ontario, but through the interposition of kind Providence no one was hurt. The emigrants were ferried over the St. Clair River to Port Huron in the State of Michigan, where better cars were obtained, and they wended their way via Detroit and Chicago to Quincy, Illinois. A steamer took them across the Mississippi River to the Missouri side, where they found temporary shelter from the burning sun in a nearby grove. After a disagreeable ride through the State of Missouri, where inhabintants at nearly every station did all they could to insult the emigrants, the company arrived July 27th at St. Joseph, Missouri, the railroad terminus. The total rail portion of their trip had been 1700 miles over ten days. They then sailed two days by the river steamer "Denver" up the Missouri River to Wyoming, Nebraska (which no longer exists) where they landed 29 July and camped in the heights in and near the town. The passage up the river had been again disagreeable because they suffered all kinds of insults and abuse from a wicked crew. They left from Wyoming, Nebraska on 4 Aug 1866 and traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah arriving on 29 Sep 1866. They came in Capt. Peter Nebeker's church ox team company of about 400 people. Some partial quotations from various fellow passengers: "So also on the sea the hand of the Lord was made mainfest for the ship was on fire at least three times, and not much damage was done and no panic, even all did not know of it until after. The ship was an old vessel not intended for passenger but had been used to carry cattle. How it came to be used to carry a cargo of human beings I know not, but it seemed that anything was good enough for Mormons." Another: "May the 16th. We emigrating Saints had our things taken aboard the steamer and we sailed out from Aalborg at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and had a fine sailing, and in the morning, at 7 o'clock the next day, May the 17th, we were in Copenhagen, where our things were taken aboard the steamship "Aurora," and that ship sailed out from Copenhagen at 1 o'clock in the afternoon." Another: "We had had a hard time of it during part of the time of our journey, as not less than 33 persons of our company had died from cholera or some other disease, before we had reached to the La Plata [the Platte River]." Another: "We were 8 weeks on the Atlantic Ocean. At the last the water we had to drink got so bad it was full of white wigglers." From Andrew Jenson who later became a renown LDS historian: "...we frequently amused ourselves in dancing, or engaged in divers games on deck, in order to keep up good cheer, and counteract the tediousness of the long voyage... Cleanliness and good order were strictly observed on board and all who were able to spend a good part of their time on deck to enjoy the fresh air and exercise... Even a manuscript paper was issued almost daily, which introduced humerous and spicy articles suitable for the life we led... I also made records of seven marriages which took place on board during the voyage... [upon eminent landing in New York City] The men shaved, cut their hair and cleaned up on general principles, while the women began to look for their best dresses in which to attire themselves when the happy privilege of landing should be enjoyed by them. To us, Latter-day Saints, the first sight of America had more than usual significance, as this was the 'land of promise,' the land of Joseph; about which we had spoken, dreamed, and sung for many years before beholding it... At Castle Garden we passed through the usual examination and scrutiny, including the enrollment of names, ages, nationality, etc... we continued our journey through the State of Missouri, the land where the Saints in early days of the Church suffered so much persecution. In several of the larger towns, through which we passed, the inhabitants acted hostile towards us and made several demonstrations in the shape of insults and threats. The telegraph had, of course, previous to our arrival, brought the news of a company of 'Mormons' coming, and thus the rough element had time to gather at the railway stations to give us their attention as we arrived. Some of the worst men in the crowd gave the impression by their movements that they would have taken delight in treating us similar to the treatment that was given our co-religionists years ago. The conductor of our train appeared to be one of our bitter enemies. In starting the train and in quickening or lessening speed he treated us to such jerks and violent shocks as ordinarily are experienced only on freight trains. Fortunately none of us were seriously hurt, but some of our more delicate women were threatened with nervous breakdowns... On receiving our baggage at Wyoming we found that many of the boxes had been opened and robbed of their contents, and thus some of the emigrants lost all their clothes and traveling outfits."

They went by the surname Westergard because the part of the village they came from was Vestergard [actually the name of their farm in Bedsted]. On board the ship, Maren met Swen Olson. They fell in love and were married by Elder Martin Lund. They arrived in America and made arrangements to travel across the Plains in Captain Peter Nebeker's Wagon Company. She and Swen settled in Mt. Pleasant where they became the parents of 11 children. In 1881, they moved on a 200 acre farm which was located between Mt. Pleasant and Moroni. There was a great deal of work to do to built[d] up their farm. They had to clear the land, build their home, plant their crops, and take care of their sheep and cattle. Maren was a grand home maker. She was the best cook and anyone who dropped by was welcomed to eat. Even the Indians were treated with respect in her home. Maren lived a very happy and productive life." BIRTH: 1.

"Peterson. - In Lynne Ward, Weber County, Utah, May 9th, 1885, at four o'clock a.m., after a lingering illness of twelve years, Frederikke Louisa Peterson, aged 45 years and 3 months. She has been a resident of Utah for 6 years, and leaves a husband, 5 children, and a host of friends to mourn her loss.

There being no one present but Miss Margaret Fisher, who had been hired to wait on the house during her sickness. Her husband was in Ogden at the time, arranging for the burial of his sister. The screams of the children soon brought in a few neighbors, and some men travelers who were journeying from Payson to Snake River. Deceased, whose name was Mary Westergaard, was born in Haderilew, Denmark. She came to Utah 12 years ago, and was, at the time of her death, 37 years, 1 month and 3 days old. She leaves a husband, five children and legion of friends to mourn her loss. The funeral obsequies were conducted by Biship P.G. Taylor, at the residence of the deceassed, on Monday, May 11, 1885. Singing by the ward choir under the leadership of R.D. Brown, jun. The speakers were Bishop P.G. Taylor, Counselor W.C. Rawson and Elder Peter Later, who spoke of the good qualities of deceased as a kind mother, a dutiful wife, and a peaceable neighbor. The funeral was quite large, and upon arriving at Lynne, a double funeral cortege was found, with the corpse of her deceased sister-in-law and family and friends, the funeral services of which had been conducted by Counselor R. Christopherson, of Lynne. Mr. Peter Thorstead, of Lynne, decorated the graves with wreaths of beautiful flowers. P.L., Harrisville, May 13th, 1885."

Update from Chris Petersen 18 Mar 2023: "Shortly after James C. and Mary Holst Westergard's 5th child, William Arthur, was born, James was called to the home of his sister, Frederikke Peterson, as she had been ill for quite some time and was doing poorly. Tragedy struck this family after he got there as Frederikke died while he was at her home and while there, he then heard that his dear wife Mary had died on the same day.

| 4265 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Reviewed Ancestry.com 23 Nov 2002. 2. By following the various christening records of his children, we can ascertain Isaac's residence and and the name of his wife Jane. Isaac lived in the Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope area which was centered near Shotley, Hunstantworth, and Hexham parishes all of which he had children christened. Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope do not show on most maps since they are not villages as much as a just a location. Using older maps, I was able to locate them. On modern maps such as Google, locate Hunstanworth in County Durham. Just slightly above Hunstanworth across the field is the River Derwent going from west to east. Slightly to the west of Hunstanworth, the river turns upward northwesternly while a serpentine forested hill turns southwesterly. At this first bow on the north side is Newbiggin Fell. Continue to follow the river as it then immediately turns back west and then you are at Riddlehamhope on the north side of the river. Slightly to the west of that is Riddlehamhope Fell. Note that this river is the boundary between counties Durham on the south and Northumberland on the north thereby making the Burnhopes residents of Northumberland. The meaning of the old English word Fell is from the Old Norse meaning an upland stretch of open country; a moor; or a barren or stony hill. We know that Isaac was a miller because he eventually ends up at Woodhall Mill very near Haydon's Bridge where he dies in 1781. The location of Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope on a river may have been due to work as a miller even though his early profession is not given in the christening records. The record of his child William must appear in two separate registers (a local and bishop's trancript?) because my transcription shows the entry below whereas the LDS IGI shows the same entry without the father but with a mother Jane Burnhope listed. This establishes Jane as the wife of Isaac. Note that in a separate transcription book for Hexham baptisms (1752-1851) which I reviewed at the Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn Jun 2009, there were some minor differences as noted above in [brackets]. The various parish records showing the christening of Isaac's children in chronological order show: Shotley, Northumberland: William Burnhope, son of Isaac of Newggin(sic) hope chr. 21 Jul 1745. Hunstanworth, Durham [I also confirmed the records on FHL film 1068651): Kath. Burnhope, d. of Isaac, chr. 27 Jul 1747. [Note the entry immediately afterwards is the marriage of William Burnhope and Jane Short even though it is dated 3 May1747; the surname is spelled the same.] Isaac Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Ridlehope [sic], chr. 2 Mar 1748/1749 (bur in 1762 in Hexham). John Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Newbigginhope, chr. 10 Mar 1750/1751 Hexham, Northumberland: Mary Burnep, dau. of Isaac Burnep chr. 14 Oct 1753. [Mary Burnip, d. of Isaac of Leafield House. I have tried to find a Leafield House using Google and what I can find thus far is in Birtley, a suburb in County Durham of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne just north of Chester-le-Street. This is off the path considering Newbiggin and Whitley Mill are in close proximity to each other south of Hexham and makes one wonder if there is a closer Leafield House.] Joseph Burnip, son of Isaac Burnip chr. 7 Mar 1756. [Isaac of Whitley Mill.] Ann Burnip, dau. of Isaac Burnip chr. 9 Apr 1758. [Isaac of Whitley Mill.] Hannah Burnip, dau. of Isaac Burnip chr. 23 Mar 1760. [Mary Burnip, d. of Isaac - not sure why one transcription would say Hannah and the other Mary.] 3. The following two records for the same son help establish parentage of William as Isaac and Jane Burnhope: A. From the book of indexed baptisms (1675-1786) transcripts in the Shotley parish church from my 23 Jun 2009 visit to the Society of Genealogists in London, England. I also reviewed parish record transcripts in the Northumberland and Durham Record Offices. The baptismal entry transcript: "1745, Jul 21, William Burnhope, son of Isaac of Newggin(sic) hope." B. LDS IGI has an extracted record for William Burnhope, chr. 21 Jul 1745 at Shotley, Northumberland, England with a mother shown as Jane Burnhope. No father is shown in this extraction. No other Burnhopes (or other name variations) occur in the fully extracted christening record of 1675-1861. 4. The following family appears in the Hunstanworth Parish (1659-1760) Register (birth, marr., and burials) and is most likely a brother to Isaac Burnhope even though no specific relationship is indicated except just being the same age in the same parish with exactly the same spelling of surname. It may also be significant that Ramshaw is at the end of Mill Road as described below since our Isaac also a miller later at Woodhall Mill near Haydon Bridge where he dies in 1789. Newbigginhope is less than a mile northwest of Hunstanworth. Except for the christenings of the three children of Isaac, the following are the only other Burnhopes in the Registers. I have also since confirmed the entries with the church records on FHL film 1068651. Ramshay/Ramsby is probably the small property called Ramshaw on older maps or very good modern maps; it can be located on by going straight south just a little over a mile from Hunstanworth through the farmstead Townfield. The main road ends at the tip of the V created where Mill Road intersects the road south. On Google maps, this appears to be nothing more than a farmstead. The notations in [brackets] are my estimation of family grouping and the way I have arranged them in New Family Search 3 Aug 2009: Marr. 3 May 1747, Wm. Burnhope and Jane Short. [Probable parents of the next four children.] Bapt. 14 Jan 1747/1748, John Burnhope, son of William of Ramshay. Bapt. 29 Jul 1750, William Burnhope, son of William of Ramshay. Bapt. 29 Oct 1752, George Burnhope, son of William. Bur. 8 Sep 1755, Jane Burnhope, wife of William of Ramshy. [Probably Jane Short since no more entries for children occur. Judging from year, she may have died in childbirth.] 5. FHL film 2193232, Warden Parish Easter Rate books, has a subsection for Woodhall Mill for the years 1773-1778 with 4-6 families; however, there are no Burnhopes listed. BIOGRAPHY: 1. Occupation: miller. Note that millers were generally contractual and would stay with a mill until the contract was not renewed. They would then take another contract with a mill owner wherever there was work; hence it was not unusual for them to move often and over great distances. BIRTH: 1. See notes below for tombstone transcription indicating Isaac was 66 years old when he died in 1781. This equates to approximately 1715. PHOTO: 1. Woodhall Mill is the residence of Isaac and his family when he died. In June 2009, I was able to visit and photograph this building, which still exists today with the same name. It is just east of Haydon Bridge on the south side of the river where a road goes off to the south towards Elrington. As one turns off this main river road, there is almost immediately a fork in the road with the right side going to Elrington. Woodhall mill is immediately on the left right just as the fork begins. It is still named with a visible plaque. (Do not confuse with "Woodhall" which is up the left road a short distance. The buildings were recently remodeled and turned into four or five residences. The old millpond is in the "fork" and mainly overgrown. I visited with one of the families and they provided me a copy of a colored painting of the mill as it existed in the very early 1900s. I have this image as well as the photos on file. One of the residents that I visited also shared with me copies of some old historical records that they have found on this property. There is nothing genealogical for us with these documents, but there is some interesting history. I do not believe the lead smelting mill in question is the actual modern Woodhall Mill since it appears to have been more agriculturally based - but I am not entirely sure of this. A. One letter was written in 1720 from Thomas Errington, who appears to have been one of Lady Derwentwater's agent. She was the large landholder in the area and apparently owned the mill as well. Many of the topologogical features of the regional extended area have the name Derwent and apparently the family was connected. Her husband was executed in 1716 at Tower Hill in London as part of the Stuart Jacobite Rebellion. The letter in question refers to some repair money needed for the tinant at the "Lead mill att woodhall." B. Another letter to the same Lady from Charles Busby, another of her agents. He talks about the complaints of the local farmers that when the smelting mill was operational, it resulted in the death of much local cattle from infected grass due to the sulpherous smoke of the mill. Also it is alleged that the smelting mill will take so much water from Wood spring that none will be left for the corn mill. C. Another letter to the same Lady from the agent Thomas Errington dated 14 Jun 1722. It talks about "a great many Slaggs and old waist heaps at wood hall Lead mine." They talk of the value of these waste piles and other routine and obscure business affairs. D. The following document is dated from just after the Burnhopes would have resided there: "Report of the Visitation of Greenwich Hospital Estates 1815 (Northumberland Record Office. Ref: NRO 47/42/3 pg. 24. 'On Monday the 24th we proceeded to view the Buildings on the following Farms and Mill, in Langley Barony. 'Woodhall Mill. - The Dwelling-House, which formerly consisted only of a Kitchen and Dairy with two Lodging-Rooms above, was evidently too small for this establishment, it has therefore been lately enlarged, by two additionaly Rooms below and two above at an Expense of ₤166. 'The Mill House being too small for the necessary machinery, and the Drying Kiln improperly placed within it, by which the whole establishment was continually exposed to accident from Fire, the latter has been remvoed to the back of the premises, from which it is separated by a strong party Wall: a Barley Mill and Flour Cylinder, with other improvements in the Machinery, have been completed at an Expense of ₤309; the whole now forming a convenient and very compact Mil extablishment, highly useful to the Hospital's numerous Tenantry on his fine Estate." BURIAL: 1. From the book of indexed burial (1654-1812) transcripts in the Haydon Bridge parish church from my 23 Jun 2009 visit to the Society of Genealogists in London, England. Note that the place Woodhall is actually Woodhall Mill which still exists and which I visited. It sits by itself less than a mile east of Haydon Bridge on a small creek and has been recently divided and renovated into a small freehold of four homes while retaining the old name. It was an actual mill once owned by Lady Dentwent of the gentry. The Burnhopes were contract millers moving from one mill to the next depending on their contracts. Contemporary records of that time indicate that the Burnhopes were millers. There is nothing else in the near vicinity making it its own farm/mill in the countryside. Haydon Bridge would be the nearest parish church. The following are all of the individuals surnamed Burnhope or variation thereof for the period of time from 1654-1812. We can surmise that the Burnhopes first moved to the area by no later than 1785 when Joseph had a child christened there and that Isaac's son Joseph continued there until at least 1809 when his daughter Elizabeth is buried there. We can also link Joseph with Isaac since both are of the Woodhall Mill, a single farmstead. Being that Isaac died without a notation that he was the "son of," we can safely assume he was an adult and even though there is the possibility he could be a brother of Joseph, it is more likely in my opinion that he was the father: 1781, Oct 4: Isaac Burnhope of Woodhall. 1809, Oct 1: Elizabeth Burnhope, dau. of Joseph of Haydon Bridge. 1790, Oct 25: Thomas Burnhope, son of Joseph of Woodhall. 2.

Charleton and Elizabeth Ferguson and christened 29 Sep 1806 at St. Thomas Aquino Roman Catholic, Stella, Durham, England. County Durham directly adjoins County Northumberland. There is no Catholic church in Heddon-on-the-Wall and this particular church is just a few miles southeast of Heddon-on-the-Wall. Another child Ann is also christened in the same church per FHL film # 593804. The church records are written in Latin. Each Christening is divided by town location title. Before Ann Carlton is "Heddon-on-the-Wall." The god parent listed for Ann is Maria Lock. Sometimes a godparent could be a relative (maybe Maria Ferguson or Maria Charlton?). It is interesting that the Charlton parents are buried in the Established Church of England whereas some of their children were baptized in a Catholic Church. 4. While researching in England June 2009 at Heddon-on-the-Wall (where I found the tombstone of Thomas Charlton and Elizabeth Ferguson), I met a local resident, Geoffrey Brian Charlton 5. From my visit to the Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn on Jun 2009, I reviewed the following: A. Catholic Register Transcripts book (RCT-3) for Minsteracres Roman Catholic Church in Bywell St. Peter which had the following entries for the surname Charlton. The writing is in latin and the first entry is most likely for Thomas, Jr, son of Thomas and Elizabeth; the others have no apparent relation to us: Pg. 29 or 30: Confirmati ab Minster Acren 1796: Thomas Charlton. Pg. 31: Confirmati 28 Maii 1804 ab Epicipo Will acanthoniai: John Charlton, Edward Charlton, and Mary Charlton. Pg. 43: Death: Isabella Charlton d. at Ebchester 21 (or 31?) Jun 1816. B. I found the following probate (NRO 672/A/31/28) for Thomas Charlton; however, I cannot link it to our Thomas since the son is born 27 Mar 1754 at Ovingham (per NFS). I do not believe there is any connection, but the information for this probate shows Thomas Charlton of Matfen Moorhouses, will dated 16 Nov 1787, mentions wife Barbara and Children: Thomas, William, Frances (wife of Forster Charlton), Elizabeth (wife of Ralph Davison), Barbara (under 21), and Margaret (under 21). Mentions land in Corbridge. Witnesses: Michael Young and John Weddle. C. Of all English counties, the surname Charleton are most prolific in Northumberland and Durham - so it is difficult to make easy matches. The line traces back to the 1200s according to a pedigree which I found in the Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn; unfortunately, it is too narrow in scope and not helpful. The following is from my Jun 2009 visit to the SOCIETY of Genealogists, London, England per their book "Northumberland County Wide Anglican Burial Index 1813-1837" (listed by parish register, name, address, age, burial date). Originally it was assumed that perhaps Thomas' father was a Thomas, and so I extracted the following information on potential fathers named Thomas buried in Northumberland with an approximate birthdate of 1745 or earlier (I have since changed my postion per the christening note below believing his father is actually George Charleton of Fourstones): "Heddon-on-the-Wall, Thomas Charlton, Heddon, 70, bur. 31 7 1815." -Bellingham, Stobilee, 78. 10 Sep 1815. -Long Benton, George Pit, 83, 23 Dec 1832. -Simonburn, Simonburn, 82, 8 Dec 1815. -Bellingham, Haltwhistle, 70, 18 Mar 1817. -Ovingham, Liker Hall, 80, 19 Feb 1820. -Ovingham, Broad Oak, 77, 15 Jan 1822. D. NRO 1954:24, 27, 26, 22 - These are records of a local lady who collected Catholic records for early Durham and Northumberland. I found 2 Burnopps and 2 Charlton records, but no link that I can find to our database. The Burnopps mainly had the following names: Ralph and Martin. 6. Based on the 1851 census where Thomas says he was born in Newbrough, I did the following search and extraction at the FHL of the parish records of Newbrough Chapelry, film 1068609, for Charletons, with no results for our Thomas (I since have decided he was actually born to a father named George in the adjoining hamlet of Fourstones per my comments below in "Christening"): A.

C. Marriages 1724 to 1811; note that the church in Haydon was not allowed to record marriages since they were not licensed per the Hardwich Marriage Act of 1754. Marriages resume after 1797; consequently, we find many marriages from Haydon in the Warden church as included herewith: -4 Oct 1733, William Charlton and Elizabeth Mass, banns published. -29 Sep 1753, William Charlton and Margaret Rawlin. -17 Nov 1754, John Charlton of the parish of Corbridge and Elizabeth Coulsen of the parish of Nether Warden, md. by banns, witnesses: Joseph Taylor and John Bell.

CHRISTENING: 1. Finding the christening record of Thomas has been difficult due to the great number of Charltons in Northumberland who originate anciently around Bellingham in Northumberland, which is north of Hexham. The Charlton family manor, called Hesleyside, is in the North River Tyne valley just a short distance west of Bellingham in Bellingham Parish. In fact, the ordinance maps for the area show a hamlet named Charlton just north across the river from the Hesleyside manor. As for the origins of our Thomas Charlton, we do have some clues from the 1841 and 1851 censuses, which report an estimated birth year of 1768 and 1766 respectively. His gravestone at Heddon-on-the-Wall reports an age of 87 at the time of his death in 1853, which calculates to an approximate birth year of 1766. Being that the censuses and gravestone are secondary sources, one would expect some variance in the dates - but an estimated birth year range of 1766-1768 seems reasonable. As for the location, we only have the 1851 census to rely on, which reports Newbrough in Northumberland. Newbrough is a dependent chapelry within the Parish of Warden. I have systematically searched all christening records for Thomas Charlton between 1764-1770 in an expanding circle of up to an approximate ten miles around Newbrough with the following results: A. Anglican Church of England records: Newbrough: None. Note: Newbrough is a dependent chapelry of Warden. Warden: Thomas Charleton, son of George residing at Fourstones, chr. 11 Jun 1769. Note Fourstones is a hamlet between Newbrough and Warden (about one mile from Newbrough and two miles from Warden). Haydon Bridge: None. Lee Saint John: None. Hexham: None. Simonburn: Thomas Charlton, son of Thomas and Dorothy, residing at Thorough Gates, chr. 23 Apr 1769. Note: I did not find parents' marriage in the parish nor any death for Thomas, the son, prior to my cut-off at 1800. Also note: high concentration of Charltons. Chollerton: None. Corbridge: None.

Hexham-St. Mary's Catholic: Can't search; records are not consistent until 1775. Simonburn-Falstone Presbyterian: None. As can be seen from the above results, there are only five possible Thomases that work out timewise - one in Warden parish, one in Simonburn parish, and three in Bywell parish. By using the residence locations reported in those five christening records, we can calculate the following distances from Newbrough: -Fourstones: 3/5 mile. (Just east of Newbrough and on modern maps.) -Thorough-gates: 5 miles. (This name is not shown on current maps but was found on Google Maps as the name "Throughgates" for a farm near Park End, halfway between Simonburn and Wark.) -Gallow Hill: 7-3/4 miles. (Located halfway between Corbridge and Aydon.) -Newton: 10 miles. (On modern maps above Bywell.) -Broomley: 11 miles. (On modern maps below Bywell.) Clearly, this only leaves one Thomas that meets the location criterion -- Thomas, son of George, residing at Four Stones, chr. in Warden Parish 11 Jun 1769. As I reviewed some of the old maps in the Family History Library, Newbrough seemed to encompass an administrative area larger than the small existing hamlet of Newbrough encompassing Four Stones as well. Modern satellite imagery on Google shows that there are only two small-sized farm fields between the hamlets of Newbrough and Four Stones. Newbrough did have its own chapel, but it was subservient to the parish church of Warden, which is another 1-3/4 miles southeast of Fourstones. In fact, in the late 1700s and early 1800s, no marriages could be performed in Newbrough since the law required them to be conducted in a parish church. Accepting this premise and logic of time and location, we have eliminated all other possibilities leaving us to accept the Warden parish Thomas Charlton as our Thomas. It should be noted that we cannot prove him 100% without any doubt due to the lack of records available for research. It should also be noted that he did have most of his children baptized in Catholic churches, which as can be seen from the above survey do not generally have baptismal records for the 1760s. On the other hand, his devotion to Catholicism is suspect since he did married his wife Elizabeth Ferguson in the Church of England's parish church of Lee St. John, the next parish 1/2 mile west of Warden just across the North Tyne river; he also was buried in the Church of England's parish churchyard of Heddon-on-the-Wall. I also believe that this linkage has been missed in the past and was made available by my recent find of Thomas' tombstone inscription in Heddon, the use of the British censuses now online, and a physical look at the Warden parish records which have never been extracted by the LDS IGI for the years that concern us. Until shown otherwise, I propose to follow this Thomas. For some more information in regards to Four Stones, or Four Stanes as it was anciently known in the local vernacular, there is a article that appeared in the Hexham Courant newspaper 27 Dec 1873 as found on the Internet. It states: "Fourstones is so close to the ancient village of Newbrough, and so much influenced by the poeple of that more push place, that there would have been no store in Fourstones to this day but for the Newbroughians, and so the store is named the Fourstones and Newbrough Industrial Society Limited... Thus Newbrough (which is only three-quarters of mile away) and Fourstones are interdependent upon each other; the Newborugh people co-operate at Fourstones, but in return the Fourstonians depend upon Newbrough for their reading-room and place of worship..." 2. From a FHL search and extraction of christenings (1724 to 1812) for the children of George Charleton from the parish records of Warden, of which Newbrough Chapelry is subservient and very nearby, per FHL film 1068615, for Charletons (note that this parish was never fully extracted by LDS IGI for the mid to late 1700s and so the following information is not readily seen): -5 Feb 1764, Jane Charleton (notes father is of Parkshields). -11 Jun 1769, Thomas Charleton (notes father is of Fourstones). -8 Sep 1771, Foster Charleton (notes father is of Fourstones).

MARRIAGE: 1. LDS IGI extracted record per batch M004191, film 0095002, printout 6902831 shows Thos. Charlton md. Elizabeth Fargison 29 Jun 1795 at Lee Saint John, Northumberland, England. The actual record on FHL film 1068897also shows that both are of the parish and that she is a spinster, that Thos. signs with an X, but Elizabeth signs as Elisabeth Fargison. The record also shows her name as Elisabeth, not Elizabeth. Witnesses signed as follows: Thos. Fenwick and John Ferguson. 2. Caution! The following entry is not a second marriage for our Thomas even though they were both living in Heddon at the same time. The Thomas below and Elizabeth Watson are having different children in the Heddon-on-the-Wall area including at least Watson (1794), John (1798), and Elizabeth (1809): From FHL film 1068615 for Warden Parish: "22 Feb 1794, Thomas Charleton of the parish of Heddon on the Wall in the county of Northumberland and Diocese of Durham and Elizabeth Watson of this Parish were married in this church by license 22 Feb 1794. Thomas Charlton signs his name and bride signs with a mark of X. Witnesses: Matthew Hutchinson and John Watson." BURIAL: 1. During my visit to the area June 2009, I found the following tombstone immediately on left of the walkway leading to the main door of Saint Andrew's Church in Heddon-on-the-Wall. This is the local Anglican church. The tombstone reads as follows: "The Burial Place of Thomas & Elizabeth Charlton of Heddon-on-the-Wall. Elizabeth, Daughter of Thomas Charlton, Jun'r, who died January 5th 1836 Aged 12 years. The above Thomas Charlton died Jan. 10th 1853 Aged 87 years. The above Eliz'th Charlton died June 1st, 1846. Aged 72 years. Also the above Thomas Charlton Jun'r died March 25th, 1852, Aged 56 years. Thomas Charlton grandson of the above died Jan'y 21st 1874 Aged 45 years. Margaret Charlton, widow of Thomas Charlton, Jun'r died August 20th, 1875 Aged 77 years." 2. There were three other Charlton tombstones that I transcribed in the Heddon-on-the-Wall cemetery. I have checked them against New Family Search, censuses, and other Internet-based databases and concluded that there is no family relationship. Please note that this part of England has hundreds of Charltons. Charltons are found in quantity in every parish. I have entered the tombstone information into New Family Search 1 Aug 2009. The gravestones were for: William (d. 5 Jun 1884), his wife Mary (d. 30 Jan 1875), and many of their children. James (d. 29 Jul 1851) and his wife Elizabeth (d. 23 Aug 1875).

Censuses: Even though the following censuses are off slightly on age for Thomas, they certainly must be for Thomas, son of Joseph, because some of Thomas' children are born at Ingo Mill during at least the period 1828 to 1835 where we can place Thomas' father Joseph at the time of his death in 1836. From my visit there in 2009, I found that Ingo Mill is a single farmstead isolated in the country just north of Matfen and northwest of Stamfordham and certainly not a village of multiple families.

| 4270 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Reviewed Ancestry.com 23 Nov 2002. 2. From the book of indexed burial (1654-1812) transcripts in the Haydon Bridge parish church from my 23 Jun 2009 visit to the Society of Genealogists in London, England. Note that the place Woodhall is actually Woodhall Mill which still exists and which I visited. It sits by itself less than a mile east of Haydon Bridge on a small creek and has been recently divided and renovated into a small freehold of four homes while retaining the old name. It was an actual mill once owned by Lady Dentwent of the gentry. The Burnhopes were contract millers moving from one mill to the next depending on their contracts. Contemporary records of that time indicate that the Burnhopes were millers. There is nothing else in the near vicinity making it its own farm/mill in the countryside. Haydon Bridge would be the nearest parish church. The following are all of the individuals surnamed Burnhope or variation thereof for the period of time from 1654-1812. We can surmise that the Burnhopes first moved to the area by no later than 1785 when Joseph had a child christened there and that Isaac's son Joseph continued there until at least 1809 when his daughter Elizabeth is buried there. We can also link Joseph with Isaac since both are of the Woodhall Mill, a single farmstead. Being that Isaac died without a notation that he was the "son of," we can safely assume he was an adult and even though there is the possibility he could be a brother of Joseph, it is more likely in my opinion that he was the father: 1781, Oct 4: Isaac Burnhope of Woodhall. 1809, Oct 1: Elizabeth Burnhope, dau. of Joseph of Haydon Bridge. 1790, Oct 25: Thomas Burnhope, son of Joseph of Woodhall. 3. By following the various christening records of his children, we can ascertain Isaac's residence and and the name of his wife Jane. Isaac lived in the Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope area which was centered near Shotley, Hunstantworth, and Hexham parishes all of which he had children christened. Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope do not show on most maps since they are not villages as much as a just a location. Using older maps, I was able to locate them. On modern maps such as Google, locate Hunstanworth in County Durham. Just slightly above Hunstanworth across the field is the River Derwent going from west to east. Slightly to the west of Hunstanworth, the river turns upward northwesternly while a serpentine forested hill turns southwesterly. At this first bow on the north side is Newbiggin Fell. Continue to follow the river as it then immediately turns back west and then you are at Riddlehamhope on the north side of the river. Slightly to the west of that is Riddlehamhope Fell. Note that this river is the boundary between counties Durham on the south and Northumberland on the north thereby making the Burnhopes residents of Northumberland. The meaning of the old English word Fell is from the Old Norse meaning an upland stretch of open country; a moor; or a barren or stony hill. We know that Isaac was a miller because he eventually ends up at Woodhall Mill very near Haydon's Bridge where he dies in 1781. The location of Newbiggin/Riddlehamhope on a river may have been due to work as a miller even though his early profession is not given in the christening records. The record of his child William must appear in two separate registers (a local and bishop's trancript?) because my transcription shows the entry below whereas the LDS IGI shows the same entry without the father but with a mother Jane Burnhope listed. This establishes Jane as the wife of Isaac. Note that in a separate transcription book for Hexham baptisms (1752-1851) which I reviewed at the Northumberland Records Office at Woodhorn Jun 2009, there were some minor differences as noted above in [brackets]. The various parish records showing the christening of Isaac's children in chronological order show: Shotley, Northumberland: William Burnhope, son of Isaac of Newggin(sic) hope chr. 21 Jul 1745. Hunstanworth, Durham: Kath. Burnhope, d. of Isaac, chr. 27 Jul 1747. Isaac Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Ridlehope [sic], chr. 2 Mar 1748/1749 (bur in 1762 in Hexham). John Burnhope, s. of Isaac of Newbigginhope, chr. 10 Mar 1750/1751 Hexham, Northumberland: Mary Burnep, dau. of Isaac Burnep chr. 14 Oct 1753. [Mary Burnip, d. of Isaac of Leafield House. I have tried to find a Leafield House using Google and what I can find thus far is in Birtley, a suburb in County Durham of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne just north of Chester-le-Street. This is off the path considering Newbiggin and Whitley Mill are in close proximity to each other south of Hexham and makes one wonder if there is a closer Leafield House.] Joseph Burnip, son of Isaac Burnip chr. 7 Mar 1756.

Occupation: miller. Note that millers were generally contractual and would stay with a mill until the contract was not renewed. They would then take another contract with a mill owner wherever there was work; hence it was not unusual for them to move often and over great distances. CHRISTENING: 1.

Note that the church in Haydon was not allowed to record marriages since they were not licensed per the Hardwich Marriage Act of 1754. Marriages resume after 1797. Consequently, the marriage was performed in Warden which was the parish responsible for the subservient chapelry of Haydon. The entry per FHL film 1068615 for Warden parish records: "By license, Joseph Burnhope and Elizabeth Mewis - both of the Chapelry of Haydon in this parish - were married by licence in this church this thirteenth day of January 1782 by me Wm. Laidman. This marriage was solemnized between us: [signed] Jos. Burnhope, Eliz'th Mewis [her mark of X]. In the presence of John Walton." John Walton is probably the brother-in-law to Joseph Burnhope. BURIAL: 1.

I cut off my transcription at the year 1825. Note that no marriages were performed in Newbrough from 1754 to 1869 due to its status as a chapelry, so a review of Warden needs to be made for marriages plus other entries of those in Newbrough who went to Warden for these events. Those names already mentioned in the note above are included plus the following: Born 19 Oct 1755, John Oliver, s. of Joseph. Married 10 May 1752, Joseph Oliver and Elizabeth Charlton.

FHL film 2193232, Warden Parish Easter Rate books, has a subsection for Woodhall Mill for the years 1773-1778 with 4-6 families; however, there is no Burnhopes listed. There is, however, a William Oliver - could he be some relation of Mary Oliver since she eventually marries a Burnhope - definitely a very long shot? BIOGRAPHY: 1. From my transcription of William and Mary's children of the Hexham Christening Records (Isaac does not occur): -3 Feb 1811, Joseph Burnhope, son of William, Woodman of Fellside. -5 Dec 1813, Jane Burnhope, dau. of William, woodman, and Mary of Fellside. -12 Jan 1817, Mary Burnhope, dau. of William, woodman, and Mary of Fellside. -6 Sep 1818, Elizabeth Burnhope, dau. of William, woodkeeper and Mary of Woodside. -30 Dec 1821, William Burnhope, son of William, woodman of Sunnyside. -29 Jun 1823, Ann Burnhope, dau. of William, woodkeeper, and Mary of Sunnyside. CHRISTENINGS: 1. No record found in Warden parish per transcription book for the years 1695-1987 reviewed at the Hexham Public Library Jun 2009. Also reviewed the actual Warden records film at the FHL library which confirms the same. Per notes above, she is not in Newbrough even though marriage record notes she is from Newbrough and burial record gives age, which calculates a birth in 1781. 2. The following are the results of area-wide search of parish records using Newbrough as the nucleus of an approximate 10-15 mile radius with the parameter of Mary Oliver christening five years either side of 1781. There are only a total of four potential candidates: Mary (1777 - Haltwhistle), Mary (1786 - Heddon on the Wall), Mary (1783-Newburn), and Mary (1782 - Lee St. John). Upon first glance, the last entry appears the most likely for two reasons: (1) it is the closest datewise; and (2) our Mary was both married and buried in the Warden Parish, which is literally across the river from Lee St. John with the actual churches being only about a mile apart. Newbrough is a subservient chapelry within the Warden parish again making it somewhat close to the hamlet of Fallowfield where this last Mary was born (Fallowfield is about 2.5 miles to Newbrough and 1 mile to the church of St. John Lee.) Upon further review in depth of the last option, it does not hold up for the following reasons: -There is a marriage record in Saint John Lee (FHL film 95002) showing "David Elrington, batchelor, and Mary Oliver, spinster, both of the parish, md. 28 May 1806 by banns, with witnesses: William Fenwith and John Walker." Both the names David Elrington and Mary Oliver are rare in this parish with his name only occurring for this marriage and the birth of the two boys noted next; her name only occurs for the one christening we are discussing plus this marriage. -At least two children are christened in the parish with the father noted as David Elrington (residing at Anick with no mother's name listed): Robert, chr. 3 Aug 1806, and Adam, chr. 11 Jun 1809. I believe the name is significant since Mary's father was Adam Oliver, a name very rare and easily traceable as belonging to one man in the parish. -We have proof that Mary was the wife and mother by using the 1851 census for West Acomb township in Simonburn (actually in St. John Lee Parish) which shows David Elrington, b. abt 1777 in Simonburn, his wife Mary, b. abt 1781 in Simonburn, and a couple of sons including Adam, b. abt 1810 in St. John Lee. Simonburn is not precise but close enough considering the large variance usually found in these censuses and the fact that it may actually be accurate civilly even though not ecclesiastically. The presence of Adam and the birth year of abt 1781 for Mary definitely ties this back to Mary Oliver. Note that in the 1861 census, David is a widower showing Wark as his birthplace; Mary is deceased, but I did not find her burial record in the Saint John Lee parish records from 1851 to 1861 (may be buried in different parish). In short, we have no choice but to abandon our fourth option of the Mary from St. John Lee, which initially appeared the best. (I had pursued this option and collected some notes on Adam Oliver which I include for future researchers as a postscript at the end of this note.) The parish records I. searched were as follows: -Newbrough: None. -Warden: None. -Haydon Bridge: None. -Hexham: None. -Saint John Lee: Mary Ollever, dau. of Adam Olliver, chr. 27 Oct 1782, residing at Fallowfield. -Halton: None. -Haltwhistle: Mary Oliver, dau. of Thos. and Jane Oliver, chr. 9 Feb 1777. -Simonburn: None. -Bellingham: None. -Chollerton: None. -Allendale: None. -Whitfield: None. -Whitley by Hexham: None. -Slaley: None. -Corbridge: None. -Kirkharle: None. -Bywell St. Peter: None. -Bywell St. Andrew: None. -Whittonstall: None. -Ovingham: None. -Stamfordham: None. -Birtley: None. -Heddon on the Wall: Mary Oliver, dau. of James and Mary, chr. 29 Dec 1786. -Newburn: Mary Oliver, dau. of Richard and Ann, chr. 20 Jul 1783. -Throckrington: None. -Bolam: None. -Ponteland: None. -Whalton: None. -Hartburn: None. -Kirk Whelpington: None. -Corsenside: None. -Meldon: None.

| 4274 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Reviewed Ancestry.com 23 Nov 2002. 2. We can establish that Elizabeth's surname is Muse. All of the christening records of their children show parents as Joseph and Elizabeth Burnhope; however the christening records for their last two children show the mother's maiden name as Elizabeth Muse: -"Chr. 14 Apr 1799 (b. 7 Apr 1799), Mary, d. of Joseph Burnhope, native of Hexham, by his wife Elizabeth Muse, native of this Chapelry, residing at Woodhall Mill." -"10 Jan 1802 (b. 8 Nov 1801), Margaret, 4th dau. of Joseph Burnhope of Woodhall Mill, miller, native of Hexham, by his wife Elizabeth Muse, native of this Chapelry." 3. In reviewing christenings from a transcription book of Haydon Bridge baptisms 1654-1665 and 1677-1991, which I cut off at 1880, there are only two sets of Burnhopes listed - seven children of Joseph Burnhope and Elizabeth and the first five children of Joseph Burnhope (1811-1881) and Ann Hunter. BIRTH 1. Elizabeth Muse's birth date and place is now determined to be 1761 in Haydon Bridge to a father named Michael. Here is the logic of how it was found. We know that her marriage could occur no later than 1782 since children are born starting 1783. Assuming such, Elizabeth would have had to be at least 16 or older for her marriage making for a probable birth date no later than 1766. This would have been earlier than most women were married in this area since 21 was considered full age of consent; this would then give us a secondary ideal birth date of no later than 1761. We also now know from an actual viewing of two of her children's christening records in the Haydon Chapelry (see below) that our Elizabeth was a native of the Haydon Chapelry. Even so, I transcribed and reviewed all Mewis, Muis, Muse, Meuse, etc specifically from Haydon Bridge from 1692 to 1804 and linked them together in conjunction with New Family Search as of 3 Aug 2009. In this same analysis of Haydon Bridge christenings, I can find no Elizabeth in the broad time period we need except for one Elizabeth, dau. of Michael chr. 1761 in Haydon Bridge. The date and location are perfect! Ancestry.com's "England and Wales Christening Records, 1530-1906" also shows the same Elizabeth Mewis, chr. 20 Aug 1761 at Haydon Bridge, Northumberland, England, dau. of Michael Mewis of Elrington. (Date is error since the actual record says 20 Sep 1761.) This is the only entry remotely close to Elizabeth Muse anywhere in England in that particular Ancestry.com database as it exists currently; however, that database is a work in progress and not totally comprehensive. Coincidentally, Elrington, as reported in the christening record, is a little under two miles to Haydon Bridge and happens to be the nearest settlement right next to where all of Joseph and Elizabeth Muse Burnhope's children would be born at the Woodhall Mill farmstead. It appears Elrington was considered part of Haydon even though since it is only two miles to Haydon as compared to next nearest church in Hexham about four miles away. From other entries in the christening records, Elrington is mentioned occasionally in the Haydon Bridge Church records. In reviewing the christening entries, the above referenced 1761 christening is the only entry for a child of Michael of Elrington, or for that matter any other Michael between 1748 and 1804 (after which I stopped checking). Children of Michael occurring before 1748 all belong to the following Michael and Ann Bell - Ancestry.com's "England and Wales Marriage Records, 1538-1940," marriage in Haydon, Northumberland of Michael Mewis and Ann Bell, 29 May 1732; however this couple would be relatively too old to be having a child 29 years into their marriage (and from my research their children seem to be pretty much accounted for between 1732 to 1748 - see New Family Search). These are the two entries from Haydon church records, FHL film 991796, which indicate Elizabeth Muse was a native the parish of Haydon Bridge and so the above comment does appear to be our Elizabeth: -"Chr. 14 Apr 1799 (b. 7 Apr 1799), Mary, d. of Joseph Burnhope, native of Hexham, by his wife Elizabeth Muse, native of this Chapelry, residing at Woodhall Mill." -"10 Jan 1802 (b. 8 Nov 1801), Margaret, 4th dau. of Joseph Burnhope of Woodhall Mill, miller, native of Hexham, by his wife Elizabeth Muse, native of this Chapelry." New Family Search has what appears to be an erroneous connection of Elizabeth Muse to William Mewis, chr. 31 Oct 1731. This William's children are all listed in the Haydon christening records (Margare 1759, Thomas 1762, John 1764, Richard 1766, and William 1772) but there is no Elizabeth. In looking at the order sequence of his children, it would also be hard to place our 1761 Elizabeth. New Family Search also shows a variant christening date of 6 Apr 1757 in H.B. This is not supported by any LDS IGI name extractions nor the actual H.B. christening records. This appears to have been a poor patron-submitted entry made in error from a legitimate 6 Apr 1728 christening entry for Elizabeth Mewes, dau. of William Mewes (1672-) and his second wife Mary Hales, whom he married in 1724. This is probably also the source of the "William" as the supposed father of our Elizabeth as found in many undocumented family histories. CHRISTENING: 1. FHL film 991796, Haydon Bridge chapel records show: "Elizabeth Mewis, chr. 20 Sep 1761, daughter of Michael Mewis of Elrington." MARRIAGE: 1. Note that the church in Haydon was not allowed to record marriages since they were not licensed per the Hardwich Marriage Act of 1754. Marriages resume after 1797. Consequently, the marriage was performed in Warden which was the parish responsible for the subservient chapelry of Haydon. The entry per FHL film 1068615 for Warden parish records: "By license, Joseph Burnhope and Elizabeth Mewis - both of the Chapelry of Haydon in this parish - were married by licence in this church this thirteenth day of January 1782 by me Wm. Laidman. This marriage was solemnized between us: [signed] Jos. Burnhope, Eliz'th Mewis [her mark of X]. In the presence of John Walton." John Walton is probably the brother-in-law to Joseph Burnhope. BURIAL: 1.

BURIAL: 1. From the book of indexed burial (1654-1812) transcripts in the Haydon Bridge parish church from my 23 Jun 2009 visit to the Society of Genealogists in London, England. Note that the place Woodhall is actually Woodhall Mill which still exists and which I visited. It sits by itself less than a mile east of Haydon Bridge on a small creek and has been recently divided and renovated into a small freehold of four homes while retaining the old name. It was an actual mill once owned by Lady Dentwent of the gentry. The Burnhopes were contract millers moving from one mill to the next depending on their contracts. Contemporary records of that time indicate that the Burnhopes were millers. There is nothing else in the near vicinity making it its own farm/mill in the countryside. Haydon Bridge would be the nearest parish church. The following are all of the individuals surnamed Burnhope or variation thereof for the period of time from 1654-1812. We can surmise that the Burnhopes first moved to the area by no later than 1785 when Joseph had a child christened there and that Isaac's son Joseph continued there until at least 1809 when his daughter Elizabeth is buried there. We can also link Joseph with Isaac since both are of the Woodhall Mill, a single farmstead. Being that Isaac died without a notation that he was the "son of," we can safely assume he was an adult and even though there is the possibility he could be a brother of Joseph, it is more likely in my opinion that he was the father: 1781, Oct 4: Isaac Burnhope of Woodhall. 1809, Oct 1: Elizabeth Burnhope, dau. of Joseph of Haydon Bridge. 1790, Oct 25: Thomas Burnhope, son of Joseph of Woodhall Mill. | Burnhope, Thomas (I1865)

But Israel, no doubt, was largely instrumental in converting her to the Mormon faith later. She was not one of the Mendon Mormons. Israel and his mothers's family were to see more of Margaret after they left Mendon.

Source: Mrs. Nona Bassett, Merced, CA, 1959.) p. 119: " 'Charles Bunnell late of Millwaukie, Oregon, was born near Canandagua, Ontario County, NY, July 4th, 1805. His father died when he was a small boy. He lived with and managed his mother's small farm until he came to manhood. At about 24 years of age he married Margaret Barlow. About a year afterward he and family moved to the Western Reserve in northeastern Ohio and located in Streetsborough, Portage Co., Ohio. He lived there 14 years during which time seven sons and one daughter was born. The youngest son (George) died there when about three years old. In the fall of 1845 Charles Bunnell and family moved to Winnebago County, Illinois, and located seven miles south of Rockford. He lived there seven years where three children (daughters) were born. In the fall of 1852 himself and family moved to Clinton County, Iowa, and located near Dewitt, Iowa. Here one child was born, a daughter who lived about a year and died. In the spring of 1854, Charles Barlow Bunnell and Alby M. Bunnell emigrated to Oregon. The former located at or near Portland and the latter at Dalles City, Oregon. Charles Bunnell, Sr., continued to live in Clinton County for about 25 years when on account of old age and his wife's poor health sold out his farm and came to live with his son B.L. Bunnell in Selby Cunty, Iowa. Mrs. Bunnell's health continued to decline and she died in about a year after she came to live with her son in Western Iowa. Soon after Charles Bunnell, Sr., with his two daughters Josephine M. and Sarah A. Bunnell with two orphan grandchildren moved to Oregon and lived for a time on the farm of the eldest son Charles B. Bunnell near Millwaukie, Oregon. About two years afterward, the daughters married. Josephine married T.R.A. Sellwood now of Millwaukie, Oregon, Sarah married Wm. Ashby a farmer of Shelby, Iowa. Charles Bunnell Sr. lived single for several years after the daughters married. Being very much in need of the comforts of a steady home he married a widow Harvy, a woman about his own age. They lived happily together a few years in Millwaukie, Oregon. When on getting up one morning he noticed that his wife said nothing and after partly dressing he came round to the front of the bed. There lay beside the bed on the floor her eldest son dead. Father then called to his wife and shook her. She also was dead. Both had been shot through the head. A coroner's inquest reported they came to their death by parties (or party unknown to them.) - B.L. Bunnell, Compiler. Charles Bunnell, Sr., died Jan 1900.' The above was dated Dec. 7, '09 at which time the following were living: Charles B. Bunnell, Wm. Truman Bunnell, B.L. Bunnell, Josephine M.B. Sellwood & Sarah Ashby." pp. 310-313 quotes from a letter written 12 Sep 1853 by Israel while in Rock Island, IL at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Lucinda Beebe Barlow, the widow of Israel's brother Jonathan Watson Barlow who had moved to that city in the 1840's and had died there 20 Jul 1851. Israel was traveling through on his way to his mission to England.

Early Iowa references to children of children of Charles and Margaret (Barlow) Bunnell: a. FHL film 934962 "History of Pottawattamie Co., Iowa," by Field and Reed, 1907, pp. 1078-1079, contains the following biography of the grandson of Charles and Margaret (Barlow) Bunnell with references to Truman Barlow. Note also a grandchild named Annis probably for Annis Gillette who was Margaret's mother: "W.E. Bunnell, who is now operating a part of the old homestead farm and is also engaged in stock-raising, was born in Knox township, November 18, 1866, his parents being Joseph A. and Sarah J. (Headley) Bunnell, who were of English descent. The father was born January 10, 1836, in Portage county, Ohio, and acquired a common school education there. When sixteen years of age he accompanied his parents on their removal to Clinton county, Iowa, where his father took up government land, and he assisted in the improvement and cultivation of the farm for some time. He next went to Shelby county, this state, where he lived with his uncle, Truman R. Barlow, who was blind but had an excellent education, and he remained with him until the uncles' death. Joseph A. Bunnell made claim to a tract of wild land in Shelby county before it came into market. He was married August 14, 1856, to Miss Sarah J. Headley and the following spring removed to Nebraska, where he engaged in breaking prairie with ox teams throughout the summer, while he spent the winter in Omaha hauling cord wood and brick. That city was then a small village, the Indians being still there, and Mr. Bunnell and his wife lived in a log house. In the spring of 1863 they returned to his claim in Shelby county and he began the improvement of his place. On the 14th of October, 1863, in response to the country's call for aid, he offered his services to the government, enlisting as a member of Company M, Ninth Regiment of Iowa Volunteers, and he was in battle under General Shelby at Duvalls Bluff. The regiment was engaged in guarding the Memphis & Little Rock Railroad - a very dangerous service. Mr. Bunnell participated in other skirmishes, battles and military duties, serving until almost the close of the war but escaped without a scratch. He was honorably discharged at Davenport, Iowa, in February, 1865. While in the army his wife lived at Newton, Pottawattamie county, and when his military experience was over he settled on a farm in Knox township, where he first purchased eighty acres. As a result of his energy and perseverance he was enabled to add to this from time to time until he became the owner of 600 acres of as fine bottom land as can be found in Pottawattamie county. He also had 3200 acres acres in the Alberta district of Canada, besides other real estate. All of this property he acquired through his own well directed efforts for he was a self-made man, industrious, enterprising and progressive. After a well spent life he died November 29, 1906, in the faith of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he was a member. Having accumulated extensive holdings he left his family in very comfortable circumstances but the estate is not yet settled. In his political views Joseph A. Bunnell was a stanch republican, having firm faith in the principles and ultimate triumph of the party. He was affiliated with U.S. Grant post, No. 123, G.A.R., at Avoca, and held several of the minor offices of the township, being regarded in the commnity as one of its leading and influential citizens. He possessed superior business ability, displayed keen discernment in placing his investments and in the management of his property as well. Whatever he undertook he carried forward to successful completion and as the years passed by won a place among the prosperous residents of the county. On August 14, 1856, he married Miss Sarah J. Headley and unto them were born nine children: Amanda J., George E., Annis D., Walter E., Albert E., Charles S., Ola G., Emma V. and one who died in infancy. W.E. Bunnell has spent his entire life in Knox township and is now operating a part of the old homestead farm. He was educated in the public schools, his time being divided between the duties of the schoolroom, the pleasures of the playground and the work of the fields. When he had attained his majority he resolved to engage in the occupation to which he had been reared and is now accounted one of the enterprising agriculturists of the community. In addition to tilling the soil he is now raising cattle, horses and hogs and his livestock interests are an important branch of his business, bringing to him a very gratifying income. In 1893 Mr. Bunnell was married to Miss Lulu Bunnell, a cousin, who was born in Shelby county, Iowa, in 1877. She was one of a family of ten children and her parents are now living east of Des Moines. Unto our subject and his wife have been born five children: Lela Beth, Joseph Albert, Eugene, Ruth and Grace Cathryne. Mr. Bunnell is an advocate of the republican party and his wife is a member of the Medhodist Episcopal church. He has served as school director and school trustee for three years and both he and his wife are held in high esteem, being accorded a position of prominence in public regard in Knox township., Mr. Bunnell is a representative of one of the old pioneer families here and the work which was instituted by his grandfather and carried on by his father is being continued by him, for he is known as one of the leading, alert and enterprising agriculturrists of his community." b. FHL book 977.7484 H2w, vol. 1, "Past and Present of Shelby County, Iowa," by Edward S. White, published by B.F. Bowen and Co., 1915: P. 109: "William Howlett, an Englishman, who gave his name to howlett's Grove, in Fairview township, came there in 1859. Near him settled, about this time, Byron Bunnell, a member of the Latter-Day Saints church. A man name Barlow also settle there very early." P. 112: "Fairview. From the best data obtainable the author is inclined to believe that the first man to settle in what is now Fairview township oas Thomas Jefferson Tague... who built a log cabin on the east side of the Botna river in 1851 near the south boundary line of the county. Other early settlers were: ...Byron L. Bunnell..." P. 212: "The first sub-division of the county, for the purpose of government, was made in 1854, by County Judge James M. Butler. His entry is very indefinite and without designating boundaries, divides 'the county of Shilby into two townships for the purpose of holding elections in the same, which precincts are known as Galland's Grove precinct and the Southern precinct.' On April 9, 1859, County Judge H.A. Tarkington divided Round Township into three townships, as follows: All that part thereof lying south... therefore, included the present townships fo Clay, Monroe, Fairview, and Shelby, to be known as 'Perrin' township. Judge Tarkington fixed the place of voting in said township at the residence of Joseph Bunnell..." P. 412: "The old Latter-Day Saints' log church at Galland's Grove was undoubtedly the first building used for school purposes in Shelby county, since it was erected about 1855, and was at once used, not only for church services, but as a school house. One of the earliest schools in the county was located... in the village of Manteno, in Grove township, the site having been conveyed to the district township of Galland's Grove by William W. Reed on January 5, 1861. Very early school houses in Fariview township were built on land conveyed to the district township of Fairview by Joseph A. Bunnell, Dec. 19, 1863, and on land conveyed by B. and T.J. Tague to the same township Oct. 25, 1865." Chapter XXVII: "Military History. In less than ten years after the orgainization of Shelby county as a civil unit, the great Civil War broke fiercely upon the country. Shelby county had scarcely passed the log-cabin stage of development, when men were traveling to mill and market over the winding trails, along the ridges and the plateaus and skirting the heads of streams, then unbridged, and when the prairies and sloughs of the county were yet furnishing sustenance and refuge for wild animals. Under these circumstances it was that the young men of Shelby county were called upon to assume the stern responsibilities of their citizenship in common with the other people of Iowa. Shelby county went to the defense of the colors right loyally, sending, it is estimated, one man out of every six then residing within her newly created boundaries. These volunteers came from Cuppy's Grove, Bowman's Grove, Manteno, Hacktown and Harlan. Here are the names of these men consitituting Shelby county's roll of honor... Joseph A. Bunnell, Company M, Ninth Iowa Cavalry..." 4. Today's Hampden County of Massachusetts was originally Middlesex County until it was split off in 1662 and named Hampshire County.

Mentioned in brother William's biography per two sources: www.rootsweb.com/~iaharris/ and FHL book 977.747-H2n: "History of Harrison County, Iowa," 1891, pp. 686, 687: "William A. Graybill... To learn something of his early career the reader will be informed that he was born July 28, 1840, in Adams County, Ill., and accompanied his parents, who were among the early pioneers to locate in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, coming, as they did, before Council Bluffs had an existence, that location then being known as Miller's Hollow. Our subject remained with his parents until 1864. For nine years prior his father, himself and brothers A. J. & L., kept bachelor's hall in Pottawattamie County. Simeon P. Graybill was born March 26, 1816, in Jackson County, Ohio, and was the son of Mr. Graybill, a native of New York and of German ancestry. The father, Michael Graybill, was the son of Peter Graybill, who was born in Pennsylvania and married Christena Wampler, who had been taken prisoner by the Delaware Indians when a child and kept with the tribe for seven years and then returned to her parents. Peter Graybill was a son of John Graybill who came from Germany in the days of the Revolutionary War. Simeon Graybill's father, Michael, was married to Polly Stoker, in Ashe County, N. C., May 1811, removed to Jackson County, Ohio, and reared a family of eleven children: David, Catharine, Simeon, Levi, George, Lenore, Julian, Michael, Mary Ann, Elizabeth and Sidney. Simeon was married to Amanda Hill, in Jackson County, Ohio, March 16, 1837 and the same year moved to Caldwell County, Mo., and in 1838 to Davis County, of that State. They removed back to Caldwell County, remained until 1839 and went to Adams County, Illinois, where they remained until 1848. February 14 of that year, his wife Amanda, was taken sick and died February 21. The same week, her eldest daughter, Rachel, sickened and died March 22. In the autumn of 1848, the family started West and arrived in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, December 5. The mother of our subject was born in 1817 in Jackson County, Ohio, her maiden name being Amanda Hill. They were the parents of four children, three sons and one daughter. One son, Aaron A., was killed in the time of the Civil War. He was killed at Camp Creek, Ga. August 31, 1864." 2. FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 34-38: "Rachel Graybill, b. Mar 1838, Far West, MO (or Adams Co., IL?); d. 22 Mar 1848, Quincy, Adams, IL." Same book in speaking of her mother Amanda's death, notes both had died near Quincy and that Amanda was buried in Quincy. It would be logical to assume Rachel was buried near her mother. Exact location in Quincy has not yet been researched by me. 3. Source: 1915 Harrison County Iowa History, pp. 898 accessed 13 Dec 2008 on the Internet at http://iagenweb.org/harrison/bio1915/1915bio12.htm: Lester D. Graybill. It is a well-attested maxim that the greatness of a community or state lies not in the machinery of government or even in its institutions, but rather in the sterling qualities of the individual citizen, in his capacity for high and unselfish efforts and his devotion to the public welfare. In these particulars, he, whose name appears at the head of this review, has conferred honor and dignity upon his locality and, as an elemental part of its history, it is important that there should be recorded a resume of his career. With the object in view of noting his connection with the advancement of one of the most flourishing and progressive sections of the commonwealth as well as his splendid personal attainments. Lester D. Graybill, farmer and stockman, of Washington township, Harrison County, Iowa, was born on December 20, 1892, in Washington township, on the farm where he now lives. He is the son of Andrew and Mary (Miller) Graybill, the former born on December 29, 1842, in Adams county, Illinois. Andrew Graybill was the son of Simeon and Amanda (Hill) Graybill, the former born in 1816, in Ohio. He came to Iowa in 1848 and farmed in Pottawattamie county all his life. He died on June 27, 1889. His wife was born in 1819 in Ohio, and died in 1848. Simeon Graybill was twice married, his second wife being Mrs. Frances (Graham) Downs. Three Children: Rachel, deceased; William; and Andrew, the father of Lester D., were born to the first union. Aaron, a fourth Child, died during the Civil War. There were six children born to the second marriage, three of whom are deceased. Andrew Graybill made his home with his grandparents on his father's side of the family. They were Michael and Polly (Stocker) Graybill, natives of Pennsylvania. Andrew Graybill freighted over the plains in the early days from Bellevue, Iowa, to Denver, Colorado, using oxen for his trips. In the spring of 1866, he came to Harrison county, Iowa, where he bought 75 acres of land. This farm was heavily covered with timber and Mr. Graybill began fencing it with the old-fashioned rail fence, stakes, and riders, some things that are not seen at this day and age in Harrison County, Iowa. He cut timber, erected a frame house, which still stands, used for implements, etc., a very rare sight in those days. Andrew Graybill made extensive improvements on all of his farm property and now owns 580 acres of land in Harrison and Pottawattamie Counties. Forty acres of this land is covered with natural timber. At one time, he was a heavy cattle feeder and made a specialty of Polled Durham and Shorthorn breeds. He has since retired from farm life. Andrew Graybill was married in 1878 to Mary Miller, who was born in 1857, in Decatur county, Iowa, and who is the daughter of Abraham and Sophronia (Champlain) Miller, both natives of Pennsylvania and now deceased. Lester D. Graybill attended the schools of Washington township and the Yorkshire village schools. He was reared on the farm where he lies and has always worked for his father. He is now engaged in extensive farming and the operation of the home place. Lester D. Graybill is unmarried and is not a member of any lodge. He is, however, a devoted member of the Church of Latter Day Saints and is an ardent Democrat. He deserves to rank as one of the rising young farmers of Harrison county. His friends and neighbors are convinced that sooner or later he will make a distinguished mark in his chosen profession." SOURCES_MISC: 1. PAF file sent 3 Jul 2003 by John P.

[See notes for Eller Stoker in this database for extensive biography of William Spears. William marries Lavina Stoker, dau. of Eller and Margaret (Judd) Stoker. He also appears to be brother of George Stoker, who marries a sister of Lavina, and Agnes Spears who marries William A. Graybill, the brother of Andrew Jackson Graybill.] 4. Two sources: www.rootsweb.com/~iaharris/ and FHL book 977.747-H2n: "History of Harrison County, Iowa," 1891, p. 669: "Andrew J. Graybill, a farmer and stockraiser, on section 32 of Washington Township, came to Harrison County in the spring of 1865, and lived with his brother, William A. Graybill, until April, 1878, when he built on the place he now occupies; this structure was a frame house 14x18 feet in which he lived until 1884, and then built an addition 12x14 feet. His barn is 32x36 feet, with twenty-foot posts, and was erected about 1885. He was one of the joint owners of the half section of land purchased by his brother, William A., William Spears and O. H. Stoker, and in the division our subject got seventy-five acres, to which he has added from time to time, until he now has three hundred and five acres, all of which is well improved, and adapted to stock raising, and upon which he usually keeps seventy-five head of cattle. Our subject was born in Adams County, Ill., December 29, 1842, and in 1848 his parents removed to Pottawattamie County, Iowa, where he remained until the autumn of 1864, at which time he drove an ox-team, across the plains, to Denver, Col.; and in the spring of 1866, located in Harrison County, as above related having farmed a year previous in Pottawattamie County. Another important event in the life of Mr. Graybill occurred April 1, 1878, upon which day he was united in marriage to Miss Mary L. Miller, the daughter of Abram and Sophronia A. Miller. She was born at Decatur, Iowa, in 1856. Mr. and Mrs. Graybill are the parents of five children - Elmer A., deceased, Lucella B., Zenos H., Alva, and Mary M. Politically, our subject is identified with the Democratic party, and in religious matters is a believer in the Latter Day Saints' faith. During his quarter of a century's residence in this county, Mr. Graybill has been an untiring worker, honest and upright in all his dealings, and stands today among the representative men of his portion of the county, and is in the possession of an excellent farm home." 5. Per FHL film 934944 "History of Harrison Co., Iowa," 1915, pp. 373, 374, mentions four related parties [William Spears is related to Agnes Spears who married William A. Graybill; Orson Stoker is son of Eller Stoker]: "Washington Township. This is the extreme southeastern sub-division of Harrison county. It was constituted in 1872, and name for the 'father of his country,' George Washington. It comprises congressional township number 76, range 42. It is south of Cass township and Shelby county; west of Shelby county; north of Pottawattamie county, and east of Union township... The township, in 1885, had a population of 593; the federal census of 1890 gave it as having 1,222 including Persia and Yorkshire... The first man to come to this township for the purpose of making a permanent settlement was Hugh Walker. He arrived in 1849, settling at the beautiful grove, which was given his name by the pioneers. [Walker's Grove]... Orson H. Stoker, of section 32, came in December, 1863, from Pottawattamie county. It was in January, 1864, when he purchased land in this township, but he went away and remained until 1868. He bought a half section of land, which made his home farm, and later he owned, in all 662 acres of excellent land in Harrison county. Another who came in from Pottawattamie county in 1864 was William Spears. He located at Walker's grove, in section 32. In the eighties he removed to a place near Neola. William A. Graybill, of section 32, came to this county in 1864. Andrew J. Graybill, of section 32, came in 1865 and lived with his brother until 1878, when he purchased in section 32..." 6. Spears family relations are mentioned in the book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 107+, has the following biographies of the children of Eller and Margaret (Judd) Stoker: Orson Hyde Stoker: "Orson... grew up on the family farm in Garner Township. In 1863, when 20 years old, he bought government land at $7.00 an acre in Harrison County, Washington Township, section 32. Andrew Graybill, William Graybill, William Spears and Orson bought 320 acres in one body and helped one another clear the land. In 1867, he built a log house where he brought his new bride, Betty Oman, the following January. The oldest five children were born in this log house on Mosquito Creek, and Jess commented later it had quite a number of cracks, requiring one to shake the snow off of the quilts in the morning if it had snowed in the night. In 1879, Orson built the big family home just west of the cabin. The road at this time ran east and west and the house stood east of the present Highway 64 and across the road from William Darrington's home now..." Lavina Stoker: "Lavina was the first known white child born in Pottawattamie County. Her Mormon parents, Margaret and Eller Stoker, left Nauvoo with the migration of Mormons in the spring of 1846. She was born and reared in the log cabin just east of the Bluffs, leaving home when she married William Spears. William bought and started to clear land in Harrison Co., in 1863, along with Lavina's older brother and two Graybill cousins. William and Lavina had a log house just south of the Harrison county line in Pottawattamie County and lived there for many years before building their bigger house to the south... This old log cabin was near the conjunction of Interstate 80N and 80, north of Neola. When Minden Township was formed in 1877, William Spears was one of the three judges appointed." [Eleven children listed with a complete downline.] Margaret Calpurnia Stoker: Calpurnia married at 17, as did her older sister, Lavina. George Spears was a brother to William Spears; which was not unusual on the frontier, for sisters of one family to marry brothers from another. George was named after his father, George Spears, Sr., who came from Scotland, married a girl name Sarah Churchfield in Pennsylvania, moved to Illinois in 1839. While in Illinois the family became members of the Latter Day Saint Church and came to Florence, Nebraska, with the exodus from Nauvoo in 1846. Calpurnia and George raised Byron Stoker, son of Michael Stoker, after the death of his mother. George Spears was born in Pennsylvania." [Four children are listed and a very partial downline.] 7. FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 34-38, note that this book has a very detailed downline of the children of this couple: "Andrew Jackson Graybill, b. 29 Dec 1842, Quincy, Adams Co., IL; d. 19 Aug 1922, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., IA; bur. Yorkshire, IA; md. 1 Apr 1878, Harrison Co., IA to Mary Lois Miller. She was born 12 Aug 1856, Yorkshire, IA; d. 19 Jul 1940. She was the d/o Abraham Miller and Sophronia Jane Champlin. Andrew made his home with his paternal grandparents, Michael and Polly Graybill. In the spring of 1866, he came to Harrison Co., IA and bought 75 acres. This land was heavily covered with timber, and he began fencing it in with the old fashioned rail fence, stakes and riders. He cut timber and erected a frame house. He made extensive improvements on all his farm property and increased his holdings to 580 acres of land in Harrison and Pottawattamie counties, IA. At one time, he was a heavy cattle feeder and made a specialty of Polled-Durham and Shorthorn breeds. In 1865, he drove an oxen team to Denver, CO and considered that one of the memorable events in his life. He was one of the four family members who jointly bought land in 1865 in Washington Twp., Harrison Co., IA. The other three were his brother William, his cousin Orson Stoker and his friend William Spears. In 1868, he married and built a house and barn on his share of the land and there raised his family. Their children were Elmer, Lucella 'Lucy' Bertena, Zenos Herbert, Alva James, Mary Melissa and Lester Dow." 8. FHL film 702: "Journal of John Stoker, b. 1817; Journal starts November 1, 1869." John was the son of David Stoker and Barbara Graybill. The first 35 pages detail his mission taken from Utah to Virginia and Tennessee through Council Bluffs, Iowa, which I have summarized and included with his notes in this database. Pp. 36-227, the balance of John's journal, are genealogical notations of family. Many pages are blank. Besides family, the journal also notes many other unrelated Stokers who were probably gleaned from books and other sources. It appears as if maybe his son David may have taken over the book later. Many entries are repetitive at different times. Pertinent data for this family or individual is quoted verbatim as follows on pages: 109: Simion Peter Graybill, born Mar. 25, 1813, died Oct 27, 1889.

It is a well-attested maxim that the greatness of a community or state lies not in the machinery of government or even in its institutions, but rather in the sterling qualities of the individual citizen, in his capacity for high and unselfish efforts and his devotion to the public welfare. In these particulars, he, whose name appears at the head of this review, has conferred honor and dignity upon his locality and, as an elemental part of its history, it is important that there should be recorded a resume of his career. With the object in view of noting his connection with the advancement of one of the most flourishing and progressive sections of the commonwealth as well as his splendid personal attainments. Lester D. Graybill, farmer and stockman, of Washington township, Harrison County, Iowa, was born on December 20, 1892, in Washington township, on the farm where he now lives. He is the son of Andrew and Mary (Miller) Graybill, the former born on December 29, 1842, in Adams county, Illinois. Andrew Graybill was the son of Simeon and Amanda (Hill) Graybill, the former born in 1816, in Ohio. He came to Iowa in 1848 and farmed in Pottawattamie county all his life. He died on June 27, 1889. His wife was born in 1819 in Ohio, and died in 1848. Simeon Graybill was twice married, his second wife being Mrs. Frances (Graham) Downs. Three Children: Rachel, deceased; William; and Andrew, the father of Lester D., were born to the first union. Aaron, a fourth Child, died during the Civil War. There were six children born to the second marriage, three of whom are deceased. Andrew Graybill made his home with his grandparents on his father's side of the family. They were Michael and Polly (Stocker) Graybill, natives of Pennsylvania. Andrew Graybill freighted over the plains in the early days from Bellevue, Iowa, to Denver, Colorado, using oxen for his trips. In the spring of 1866, he came to Harrison county, Iowa, where he bought 75 acres of land. This farm was heavily covered with timber and Mr. Graybill began fencing it with the old-fashioned rail fence, stakes, and riders, some things that are not seen at this day and age in Harrison County, Iowa. He cut timber, erected a frame house, which still stands, used for implements, etc., a very rare sight in those days. Andrew Graybill made extensive improvements on all of his farm property and now owns 580 acres of land in Harrison and Pottawattamie Counties. Forty acres of this land is covered with natural timber. At one time, he was a heavy cattle feeder and made a specialty of Polled Durham and Shorthorn breeds. He has since retired from farm life. Andrew Graybill was married in 1878 to Mary Miller, who was born in 1857, in Decatur county, Iowa, and who is the daughter of Abraham and Sophronia (Champlain) Miller, both natives of Pennsylvania and now deceased. Lester D. Graybill attended the schools of Washington township and the Yorkshire village schools. He was reared on the farm where he lies and has always worked for his father. He is now engaged in extensive farming and the operation of the home place. Lester D. Graybill is unmarried and is not a member of any lodge. He is, however, a devoted member of the Church of Latter Day Saints and is an ardent Democrat. He deserves to rank as one of the rising young farmers of Harrison county. His friends and neighbors are convinced that sooner or later he will make a distinguished mark in his chosen profession." BIRTH: 1. Per biography cited above. Pitt book quoted above adds the town of Quincy to Adams Co., IL. MARRIAGE: 1. Per biography cited above: "Another important event in the life of Mr. Graybill occurred April 1, 1878, upon which day he was united in marriage to Miss Mary L.

The site has a special tribute to him which states: "Private Aaron Graybill was truly one of the war's unfortunates. Too young to enlist at the outset of the War Between the States, during the regiment's 1864 recruiting efforts, he responded to the urges of youths seeking glory. He enlisted on June 1, 1864, being mustered on the 13th. It did not take long for eighteen-year-old Aaron to join the regiment on the frontlines of the war. On August 31, 1864, the regiment participated in a battle of Jonesboro, Georgia, One hundred and forty-nine Union soldiers lost their lives during the battle, and poor Aaron was among them. Despite his early passing, Private Graybill's contribution to the preservation of the Union continues to be remembered by his great-great-niece, Alice Graybill Russell." SOURCES_MISC: 1.

During this time three children were born to them: John Willard, Michael Charles, and David William. In 1860, two of Michael's sisters and their husbands were called by Brigham Young to go down and help settle Iron County. Michael who was the youngest of his Mother's family liked to live near his sisters; so he took his wife, Polly, and their three sons and his mother, Barbara Graybill Stoker, who was getting quite old, and moved to Iron County. Settling first at Johnson's Fort, a new settlement north of what is now Cedar City. While living here their first daughter, Emma, was born. She had convulsions and died as a small baby and was buried at Johnson's Fort. They lived at Johnson's Fort about a year and then moved to a nearby settlement called Summit, between Parowan and Cedar City.

They went to Summit after Johnson's Fort, so it does not make sense that Franklin was born and died in Johnson's Fort.

During this time three children were born to them: John Willard, Michael Charles, and David William. In 1860, two of Michael's sisters and their husbands were called by Brigham Young to go down and help settle Iron County. Michael who was the youngest of his Mother's family liked to live near his sisters; so he took his wife, Polly, and their three sons and his mother, Barbara Graybill Stoker, who was getting quite old, and moved to Iron County. Settling first at Johnson's Fort, a new settlement north of what is now Cedar City. While living here their first daughter, Emma, was born. She had convulsions and died as a small baby and was buried at Johnson's Fort. They lived at Johnson's Fort about a year and then moved to a nearby settlement called Summit, between Parowan and Cedar City. Here a second daughter, Elmina, was born, September 6, 1865; and Franklin, September, 1867. Franklin died as a small baby and was buried at Johnson's Fort... A happy event came into their lives in June, 1869, a realization of a long hoped for dream.

Email from Val Bray [mailto:valjoy.bray@yahoo.com.au], Aug 22, 2006: My information from Folkington, Sussex (very close to Arlington) came from FHL film 1364154, and the Sussex Marriages Index (a CD issued by the Sussex Family History Group from parish registers). Arpach (bapt. 21 Oct 1792 Arlington).buried 28 Oct 1792. CHRISTENING: 1. Source of christening and burial information from extracts of the Registers of Arlington Parish Church, Sussex, England from 1700 onwards by correspondence (copy on file) of 30 Nov 1953 from George Mitchell of Berwick Rectory, Nr. Polegate, Sussex. Cover letter reads: "In reply to your request for information about the Osborne family, I have searched the Registers from 1700 onwards, and find the entries given on the enclosed sheet. It is unfortunate that the marriage entries are so few, but it must be remembered that marriages usually take place in the woman's parish, and there is no means of finding out where this might be apart from inspecting the registers of the district. I have no record at all under the name of Daw; Con Osborne is married to Sarah Coleman in his 24th year, but if this is the Sarah who died in 1806, he may have married again between 1806 and 1813, though for the reason given the marriage would not be in the Arlington Registers. I have an older Register going back to 1609, but I have not searched this; it is in latin, and would take some time to go through... There is no one of the name of Osborne in the parish now, and my oldest inhabitants cannot remember any family of this name.
