_________________________________________
History of Anna Eliza Jacobson Whiting
Anna Eliza Jacobson was born April 24, 1870 in Bear River City, Utah. She was the third child and first daughter in a family of eleven children. Her parents were James Jacobson and Anne Rasmussen Olsen. Their home life was patterned after a Scandinavian way, her father being Swedish and her mother Danish. The mother spoke Danish until the children spoke English, then she spoke English very brokenly.
Their first home was a dugout close to the Bear River. Their next home had one large room built of weatherboard, lined with adobe. They had a lumber shanty used as a summer kitchen, joined by a slant-roofed cellar for storing milk, meat, butter and fruit. There was a grain cellar, where vegetables were stored, and also a barn for cows in one end and horses in the other. They had summer gardens, growing all their vegetables, beans, melons, etc. There were chickens and pigs, and always at least three cows.
The Jacobson's were industrious and hard-working, though poor, as many early pioneers were. Her mother did all the family's sewing by hand, including underwear, dresses, shirts, pants and men's suits. Eliza and Rebecca usually dressed alike, and they never had more than one best dress at a time, which was worn on Sunday. Eliza's mother sent the wool to Brigham City where it was corded, spun and woven into small red and white broken checked linsey and returned. Their everyday dresses were made of this. These dresses didn't wear out, but were handed down from one to another as they were outgrown--a Danish custom. Eliza's mother had a green and white checked gingham dress she wore for sixteen years and then remodeled for Eliza. They always had nice white handmade stockings and black pernell shoes (leather bottoms and high cloth tops) to go with their nice dress. The everyday stockings were grey, a mixture of white and black yarn, usually worn with clogs. A pair of clogs was made each fall by a clog maker and lasted all winter. Eliza's mother taught her girls to cord and spin yarn for stockings. Rebecca did most of the cording and Eliza did the spinning. They learned to knit and mend their stockings and each girl had the responsibility of keeping up stockings for one of the younger children.
The children played games such as mumble peg, guinea ball, jump the rope, and swing. They liked to play on a large flat wooden waterwheel. They could dig little dug-out houses and farms in the damp earth while they tended the smaller children.
With such a large family it was important for the children to learn to help as much as they could. Mother Jacobson was ill a lot, too, and with so much work to do she was wise in teaching them how to do all that must be done. Eliza, being older than Rebecca, helped more with the housework. Their mother also taught them to make their own clothes and to cook. They did most of the cooking, but their mother made the bread which was baked in a Dutch oven. They had good food, most of which they raised themselves. There were very little pastries and sweets, except on Christmas and special occasions.
When alkali began to raise in the soil and kill the crops, the Jacobsons, along with others, were released from the Bear River settlement.
They elected to go to Arizona; the entire family became involved in the two month preparation for the trip. Eliza, not quite fourteen, played an important role. She learned to skillfully handle the Dutch oven and did most of the baking. The last few days were spent baking quantities of bread, cookies and cinnamon rolls. When provisions ran low on the trip, they stopped and made camp where feed, water and wood were plentiful, and baked, cooked, and washed again.
The Jacobson's left in the fall of 1884, traveling in two outfits, the father driving one and the two older boys the other. Their money was gone, it has been said, by the time they reached Salt Lake City, but people helped them along the way. Eliza felt that the most harried experience of the trip was going down over Lee's Backbone, the drop to the Colorado River. But her sister, Rebecca, said that while ferrying over the Colorado River with the teams and wagons on the flatboat, Eliza enjoyed the first trip so much that she went back to make the second trip. Rebecca, however, was too frightened to attempt it again. Then followed a long tedious trip through the desert, where they found barely enough water for themselves and their animals. Two hymns Eliza remembers singing on the way were, "Oh Thou Rock Of Our Salvation" and "The Parting Hymn."
Eventually, as shown in earlier accounts, the family went through Woodruff and Snowflake and settled in Percheron, now known as Pinedale. Later they moved to Heber, forty miles west of Snowflake.
While still in Percheron, Eliza helped the family by hiring out to do housework in Snowflake. She was a beautiful girl and popular among both old and young. Joseph Hawkins, Mr. Mortensen's hired man, liked her very much. A Mr. Hans Nielson, age 65, and his wife tried to get Eliza to marry him, but she would not. John Scarlet started keeping company with Eliza and proposed to her. Her father objected to him because he broke the Word of Wisdom. Scarlet tried to get Eliza to elope with him, but Father Jacobson prayed earnestly about this matter and was told that Eliza should become the wife of Charles Whiting. (She had only met him once previously at a conference in Wilford.)
Charles Whiting, who was later to become Eliza's husband, was the son of Edwin Whiting and Mary Elizabeth Cox, born at Manti, Utah, December 16th, 1853. He moved to Springville when a small boy. He married Verona Snow in 1876. He was then called, three weeks later by Brigham Young to settle in the Arizona Mission. He was also called to take a second wife, Amy Porter. They were married and sealed in November, 1880 at the St. George Temple.
In the summer of 1878, Charles Whiting and Sylvester "Vest" Perry visited Springville, Utah, and for awhile worked with Edmund Richardson, cutting timber for the mines at Park City. While they were thus together, they persuaded Edmund to go back to Arizona with them.
Because Charles' sister, May was not well, he felt she would also feel better in Arizona. After consideration by their 71 year old father, Edwin Whiting, he gave his consent.
In October of 1878, Mary Elizabeth Cox Whiting, with her sons Charles, Arthur Cox, Edwin Marion, John Clarence, Frederick Walter, her daughters May Whiting and Harriet Lucinda with her husband, Joseph Henry Curtis left for Arizona along with Vest Perry, Sully and Edmund Richardson. They travelled through Manti, Utah, where Edmund and Sully met their blood father, Frederick Walter Cox (Mary Elizabeth's brother). He gave them consecrated oil to take with them. May's health did improve. She had a few happy years before she died on a trip back to Utah. Eventually Mary Elizabeth Cox and some of her sons settled in St. Johns, Arizona.
When the Jacobson's came to Arizona the Whitings' were living at Wilford.
When the persecution because of plural marriage became great, Charles and others were sent on to establish a colony in Mexico, where they would be allowed to live and take care of their families. He left his mother and his brothers and sisters at St. Johns, Arizona and went on to help colonize Colonia Diaz, Chihuahua, Mexico. After the death of Amy Porter, his second wife and their two children who died in infancy, Charles had no need to stay in Mexico, but friends persuaded him to stay.
Father Jacobson became discontented in Heber, Arizona (only seven families there) and decided to follow those who had moved to Mexico. They arrived in Mexico on January 11th, 1888, where they lived in a tent until July.
The account of their first year of hardship, ending in the death of their mother at Colonia Diaz July 1, 1888 is given elsewhere.
By now Eliza was 18 years of age. She was pretty, with dark hair and blue eyes. She was 5 ft. 3" tall and had a beautiful complexion. She was shy but friendly and had a beautiful singing voice.
One day, while Eliza was singing in the bowery at Colonia Diaz, Charles said it was as though he heard an angel singing. He later proposed to Eliza and they were sealed in the Endowment House at Juarez on January 7, 1889, by Alexander F. MacDonald, who held the Sealing Authority given him by President Woodruff. Eliza became his third wife. (Ten years later, October 10, 1899, she and Charles traveled 1000 miles to the Salt Lake Endowment House, where Eliza was Endowed and their marriage re-affirmed.) They took their 3 year-old daughter, Iris with them to be baptized for her health.
A miracle of healing occurred at Wilford, just before the Whiting family made the move to Colonia Diaz, Mexico. Because of a serious illness, Charles became pale and emaciated, too weak to stand. Conference visitors were there from Salt Lake City. They administered to him. By the power of the Priesthood which they held, the brethren administered to him and sealed him to health and strength. Then leaving him and his wife Amy alone, they held a well-attended meeting. The Spirit of the Lord was there. Among them were H.M. Tanner, J.J. Adams, John Bushman and J.H. Richards. The people felt they had attended a good meeting, but the best was yet to come. As the choir finished the last hymn, ready for the benediction, in walked Charles Whiting and his wife Amy, with faces aglow with light. They walked to the stand and testified to the blessing which he had received. He had been healed by the Priesthood and knew that the Gospel was true. Amy testified that after the Elders left, Charles asked her to pray, then he prayed with great power. They then sang "God Moves In A Mysterious Way" and "We Thank Thee O God For A Prophet". While singing, heavenly voices filled the room, so that they could not hear their own. A most glorious light filled the room, their faces shone. They dared not look up. They both testified they had experienced the most glorious feeling, rejoiced and praised God.
While living in the White Mountains, 35 miles east of Snowflake, Charles Whiting' and J.J. Adams' families engaged in cattle raising. It was good cattle country but again the problem of theft confronted them. One day they missed seven of their best horses. Charles and J.J. followed the tracks. Some places the horses had been led over solid rock, but they continued to follow. They camped for the night on top of the mountain. Down the other side they came to a log cabin by a spring. They were eating a turnip from the garden there when two armed men rode up and demanded to know what occasioned the visit. The co-op store at Woodruff had been robbed earlier that year. One of the tough looking strangers was carrying a pair of field glasses, and they carried other articles which looked like articles stolen from the store. Adams and Whiting told the strangers they were looking for a man called Martin Sanders. The men offered to show the way. One rode ahead, one behind. When the desperados had ushered them out of their hideout, they told them not to come snooping around again.
Three weeks later, Whiting and Adams returned over the mountain with four other men. A search ensued and the horses were found. The horses were staked out. The brands had been defaced with a hot iron. The gang of thieves later got to fighting among themselves and in the feud all of them were killed but one. That served as the plot to the Zane Grey novel "To the Last Man".
As has been pointed out, there was at this time trouble with outlaws, robbers, and cattlemen fighting sheep men. the Blevens' and Coopers', cattlemen who had been driven out of Texas, and the Tukesberrys' who were sheep men, fought each other. The Hashknife Outfit built up their herd by branding other people's calves. Cowhands were given a commission on the calves they branded. They tried to drive the sheep men out. They also stirred up the Indians, from whom they had stolen. The Coopers' or Blevens' ran their cattle in the Tonto Basin and another family of outlaws by the name of Tukesberry fought among themselves until most of them were killed off. Because of all the trouble, Wilford was eventually evacuated.
Twelve days after Eliza's marriage to Charles, Rebecca Jacobson married Edmund Richardson. This left their father with Mary, age twelve, as his only help within the household. Eliza and Rebecca took the responsibility of helping all they could with baking, washing, ironing, mending, etc. Her father was left with nine un-married children. Eliza and Rebecca also worked doing house-cleaning and washing for others whenever they could, received fifty cents a day. It was always hard work.
The family missed their mother very much. Eleven-year-old Serepta felt the loss very keenly and seemed to take sick the day her mother died and kept pining away. At the cemetery, she asked to be placed beside her mother. A terrific rainstorm arose while the family was at the grave and they were all drenched. After the burial, the family was taken to different places. Serepta continued to fade and waste away; she couldn't eat though she was hungry all the time. Father Jacobson watched over his little girls like a mother, never resting day or night. He became ill and bedfast. About this time, Rass came home sick with the quinzy, so there were three sick ones for Eliza and Rebecca to care for. James, being older, was in Arizona. Rebecca was sixteen, Mary thirteen, Serepta eleven, Ransome about seven, and Jessie five. Serepta lingered on until November, and when she died, she wasn't allowed to be buried by her mother as she had requested. The Mexican officials ordered her to be buried in the new cemetery. She was the first one. All the graves in the old cemetery had to be leveled.
Eliza lived close to her father. She did his laundry and brought him food. Some of his favorites were little pots of soup, rice pudding, sweet soups made from dried fruits and spices when they were available, Danish beer (a non-intoxicating drink which he used almost in place of water). The art of making yeast for this beer served a very useful contribution to the pioneers. They learned to use the yeast for making lighter bread, yogurt and cheese. These things gave a greater variety in an otherwise small assortment of foods and their uses.
Some of James' grand-children, while living in Mexico had the privilege of hearing him tell of celebrating the Festival of Light. Because of the long winters, Swedish people loved the sun and staged many of their celebrations around it. In this festival each family staged it's own celebration by appointing a daughter to play the part of Saint Lucia. She would wear a white dress and a crown of evergreen leaves topped with seven candles and carry an evergreen bough. On Christmas eve she would hand out gifts to the family members and they would sing the song "Santa Lucia" together. She would arise early on Christmas morning and prepare breakfast of a hot drink and special 'lucia buns' to serve her family before they were out of bed. Christmas season was celebrated from December 13th to January 13th. The celebration called Mid-Summer's Eve was from June 19th to the 25th and was almost as important as Christmas. The time was spent dancing around may-poles decorated gaily with flowers and flags, with much singing.
Eliza adored her husband, Charles. To them were born six children, three boys and three girls. John Lucius, Myrtle Ivy, James Albert, Iris Esther, William Verland and Mary Estelle.
Charles was a fairly successful farmer and a good provider. He loved animal husbandry best, but when the life of the cowboy was so rough and careless he gave it up. He sold his horses and many head of cattle in order to protect his sons from this life-style. He built Anna Eliza and Verona each a nice brick home on Colonia Diaz city lots. Sullivan Calvin Richardson' and Charles Whiting' families were very close since their serving together on calls to settle the Little Colorado. They lived side by side in Diaz. When Edmund Richardson's family came to Colonia Diaz all the town-lots were taken, so Charles and Sully gave him one-third each of their lots to settle on.
At Diaz the soil was alluvial, rich and fertile. Some of the time the river would overflow and bring it's top-soil over the land. Sometime, on the other hand, there was drought.
In 1891, a drought struck. Sully and Teressa, Charles and Eliza went south-ward to the mountain area beyond Colonia Juarez. The ranch of Helaman Pratt, son of Parley P. Pratt, was east of them. They built a joint home for their two wives. A porch in the middle divided the family's living quarters.
The pastures were lush and the cows produced well. The women milked the cows and began to accumulate butter which was made into butter lard, by heating it and straining out the milk particles. This helped to preserve it. They then loaded it into barrels.
Charles and Sully Richardson loaded their wagons with lumber from the mountain saw mill and started the trip to Colonia Diaz. They left two young boys, Charles Whiting and Will Donaldson to help the women with the work.
At Cave Valley, Charles and Sully learned that an Indian outlaw called "The Kid" had been seen heading in the direction of their wives. They combined both outfits and Charles, being an excellent teamster went on with the two wagons. Sully borrowed a rifle, bought cartridges and started back. About midnight, on top of the first mountain, he was seized with cramps. He camped with a Turley boy until near morning. Soon after he tried to shoot a deer and found the gun had no firing pin. He borrowed another gun and took a short-cut toward his destination.
He met little Annie Thompson with her dog. He got off his horse to warn her about the Indians. Through her sobs he learned that the Indians had killed her grand-mother and shot her brothers. They had looted their place and had stolen everything they could carry away, including 15 valuable ranch horses, considerable money and even two suits of Temple clothes. Had not his cramps delayed Sully, he might have arrived at the Thompson Ranch with his useless gun in time to be killed.
Going back with the little girl, Sully met a posse of men who went with him to the Thompson Ranch and found an awful scene. one boy still alive. He was cared for and lived. Sully carried on to find all was well with his family, who were unaware of the events happening so nearby. The ranchers did not know the direction the Indians had gone, so they all moved away at once. Charles and Sully decided to sell out and move their families back to Diaz. They preferred drought to the Indians.
As they moved to safety, the women took turns riding with the children. After about four miles travel down a ravine, they were motioned to stop and the women and children to go behind trees. Eliza was among them with her children John and Myrtle. Although she was very frightened, she showed self control as she hid her children. The alarm proved to be false. It was only three horsemen coming to help them. For years, however the awful scene at Thompson's Ranch haunted them.
Iris remembered that their food was usually very basic, plain and coarse, for a long time. Corn bread and beans, beans, beans! Later, others learned to provide better foods, such as molasses and honey for a little sweet, vinegars from over-ripe fruits, mills to grind lighter flour from both corn and wheat, meat from beef, chicken and pork. Occasionally they would be treated to bear meet, which tasted sweet. Summer's vegetables were a treat when new peas and potatoes, carrots and onions, beets and greens and turnips showed up on the tables. The longing for a little taste variety caused Eliza and some of her children to sip vinegar. They thought it a real treat. Sugar was hard to get. It was used by sprinkling it into burns, cuts, boils and other wounds to help healing instead of in the diet.
There were no doctors. Illness or injuries became very serious indeed. Golden Seal, a very bitter herb, was used for soothing the mucous membranes. It was packed into hollow grass reeds and blown into the back of the throat of people with diphtheria or sore throat.
Once when one of the children was bitten by a rabid skunk he asked his mother to tie him down so he would not bring harm to anyone when rabies drove him mad. Hydrophobia was a horrible illness and always fatal until a much later date.
Eliza was neat and clean in her humble home. She had a gift for making pretty things from very little. Rag rugs were her specialty, with heart designs and flowers. She was skilled in making simple foods taste excellent. Iris recalled that her mother would give thanks in prayer for even the slightest snack, so great was her gratitude for her blessings.
She helped her sister-wife, Verona in suit making. They would work at one or the other house while Charles entertained the children at the other. He told them stories and sang songs and read to them the stories of Horacio Alger and Ragged Dick. One little song he taught them was: "Thank you pretty cow that makes lovely milk to soften our bread. Every night and every day, warm and white and sweet and good."
James Albert, Eliza and Charles' third child, died at 15 months of age. Iris Esther was born 10 months later to fill her mother's grieving arms. At this time Eliza was 26 years of age. She suffered an injury and began having seizures which would render her unconscious for a short period of time, but she would not fall down nor faint. Once while caring for a new mother and ironing a fancy leg-a-mutton sleeve blouse, to be worn when guests arrived to see the new baby, Eliza put her hand directly on the hot iron handle instead of using a hot pad as she started a seizure. This left a terrible burn which left her hand twisted from that time. Because of her seizures, Charles, Verona and Eliza held a counsel and it was decided that Eliza should have no more children. As a result, Iris was the last baby for 13 years. Later, Sullivan Richardson spoke to Charles and advised him that it was not right for him to live apart from his lovely wife, Eliza. She should have the right to choose if she should have more children.
August 12th, 1909, William Verland Whiting was born. This was cause for great rejoicing.
At age 21, Eliza and Charles' son John Lucius Whiting left Mexico to work at St. Johns, Arizona, for his uncle Edwin Marion Whiting in the lumber mill. Soon after starting, while working with his cousin, Herbert Berry, he slipped and fell across the circular saw. Because of a lack of antibiotics, he died of blood poisoning in a few days. His father, Charles, left immediately upon hearing of the injury but arrived at St. Johns too late. John's body was just being brought to town when he arrived. John died August 12th, 1911. This was a cause of great mourning to all the family, to lose this outstanding young man.
On July 5th of 1912, Mary Elizabeth Cox passed away at St. Johns, Arizona. Because of great unrest due to the Mexican Revolution against Presidente Diaz, Charles was unable to leave his family to attend her funeral. This period of time was filled with a multitude of sorrows.
Only a few days later suddenly on July 12th, 1912, the Saints were advised by Stake President Romney to pack in a hurry and leave Mexico. Obediently, Charles Whiting, his wives and children and their families took only the barest essentials and wearing their oldest clothing. They traveled 17 miles to the closest border of New Mexico, believing that they would soon return to their Mexican homes.
The Exodus in 1912 was a sad and traumatic experience, one they never forgot. All but one of the children were born there. They had many happy times there. They thought they might be able to return for their good clothes, silverware and dishes, their cattle and many other things, but it was not to be.
According to May Whiting Cordon, Charles and his sons, Bernard and Charlie Jr. did return to Mexico at different times to bring out some of their stock and household goods. This was a dangerous and most difficult thing to do.
Verona Snow Whiting arrived in St. Johns on the 5th of August, 1912. At that time, Eliza was expecting her 6th child, Mary Estelle, who was born in Hachita, New Mexico in a temporary United States government tent provided for the exiles. After a short time, Verona and her married children went on to St. Johns, Arizona, while Charles and Eliza and other children and their families went to Franklin, Arizona in Greenlee County. Charles worked by plowing and helping others. Eliza did washings and anything else to earn a little money to replace all their lost goods.
While there, they met with another misfortune. When they were away one day from their little rented home, it burned down so they again lost everything they had. Iris later recalled that kind friends consoled Eliza as she told of doing many washings to earn money for new curtains which had just been purchased and not yet put up, when they were destroyed in the fire. The bishop gave them a hundred dollars to help with all their loss, for which they were very grateful. Charles and Eliza had always been full tithe payers, and this was the only time they ever needed help from the Church.
Charles' brother, Edwin Marion gave him a job in St. Johns hauling lumber and supplies to and from the saw mill in the White Mountains. Charles' mother, Mary Elizabeth Cox had owned two city lots there and Charles' brothers felt that she would want Charles to have them, so they were deeded to him. Lumber was available from Charles' brother Eddie's Saw Mill. Two lumber houses were soon built on them, one for Verona and one for Eliza.
On December 20th, 1917, Charles was killed instantly while with his son Bernard, each with four horses and two wagons, were freighting grain to St. Johns from Nutrioso, Arizona. He had a spirited team and, when passing a dead horse by the road, the horses bolted, throwing him off the wagon. His head was crushed by the wheels. This terrible tragedy was hard to bear.
Bishop W. D. Rencher officiated at his funeral December 22nd. Other speakers were Pres. D. K. Udall, John Plumb, Marinus Christensen and M. H. Peterson. Each spoke of his good and honorable character and enduring patience and faithfulness, which characterized his life. The opening prayer was offered by Charles P. Anderson and the benediction was by Patriarch J. W. Brown. A Sketch of his life was given by Judge George H. Crosby. Beautiful music was furnished by the ward choir, with a special selection by Josephine Patterson. There was a large attendance.
The accident left his two wives, Verona Snow Whiting and Anna Eliza Jacobson Whiting without support. Verona's children were all married. Eliza had two little children, Estelle, age 5, and Bill, age 8, besides her two married daughters.
Charles was remembered for his love and kindness. He always lived within his means and when he left Mexico, had no debt. He never complained. He was always a peacemaker and disliked bickering and trouble. He was modest about his talent of storytelling, singing and joking. He read to his children often when they were young.
Two years after Charles' death, Anna Eliza died of influenza on January 20, 1919, at 46 years of age, in Iris' little home in St. Johns, Arizona, while her husband George Brown was in France during World War I. At that time Myrtle was expecting a baby. Iris' mother-in-law, Thurza Berry Brown helped her nurse Eliza and as her death became imminent, had Iris leave the room. She did not want Iris to live with those memories, with her husband, George, being away in the war. Funeral services were held at the St. Johns Academy on Wednesday, January 22, 1919. She was buried in St. Johns cemetery beside her husband, Charles. Only a small service was held by family members because of the influenza epidemic. Few gatherings were held during this time.
Bill was 9 years old and Estelle was 6 years old at the time of their mother's death. Iris cared for them for some time. Later, Bill went to live with Myrtle and Arch Isaacson.
A niece, Madge Germaine, recalls that her Aunt Eliza was a wonderful woman, very warm, thoughtful and kind. Whenever there was a death in town, she would go into the home and clean it nicely while the family was away.
Myrtle said this of her mother: "Anna Eliza was a very generous person and very religious. She taught her children early in life to take their problems to our Heavenly Father and to share whatever they had with those less fortunate. She set the example for her children to live by, and they are all grateful."
Iris said of her mother: "She was humble and grateful to Heavenly Father for every blessing. She would not so much as eat a snack before first giving thanks to Him for it and ask a blessing upon it."

HISTORY: (Compiled by Jennie Bird Hill, daughter of Abby Ann Whiting, daughter
of Edwin and Hannah Whiting- 1919) "About the year 1800, in the
little town of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, near the border of New
York, lived the family of Elisha and Sally Hulett Whiting. Elisha Whiting's
father was a sea captain and lived in Connecticut. He died when Elisha was
very young. His mother, not knowing what else to do, bound him to an old
Quaker, who was very cruel to him, and after a few years, he ran away to
Massachusetts and worked on a farm with a wheelwright. Here he was married to
Sally Hulett. They were highly respected, honest, generous and firm in their
convictions.
Elisha Whiting followed the trade of wagon and chair maker and did his work
well. His wife was very gifted in making prose and poetry, a characteristic
that has been bequeathed to many of the Whiting descendants. To Elisha and
Sally Whiting, twelve children were born, eight sons and four daughters as
follows: (1) Charles, (2) William, (3) Edwin, (4) Charles, (5) Katherine
Louisa, (6) Harriet, (7) Sally Emeline, (8) Chauncey, (9) Almond, (10) Jane,
(11) Sylvester, and (12) Lewis.
Edwin Whiting was born September 9, 1809, the third child of this family.
When he was six years old, his parents moved to Nelson, Portage County, Ohio.
At that time, it was the western frontier of the U.S.A. but probably the very
place his father wished to be to get a suitable timber for his trade and for
support of his large family.
Edwin Whiting's chance for education was very limited, but they were all
taught the "3 R's", Readin', Ritin', and Rithmetic, and he wrote an legible
hand, an extrordinary feat for his time. At an early age, he wrote credible
verse.
His early life in the forest, no doubt, accounts for his love of the
out-of-doors, the beauties of nature, the trees, the flowers, the mountains and
the desire to hunt.
One Sunday morning, when but a small boy, he decided to go hunting. He knew
this was contrary to his parent's teachings, so he tried to draw his gun
through the cracks between the logs of his bedroom and go unmolested. His gun
caught and was discharged, inflicting a serious wound in his left arm. This,
he said, was a lesson to observe the Sabbath Day and to obey his parents.
He learned the chair making trade from his father and his workmanship was
considered very good.
In 1833, when Edwin was twenty-four years old, he married Elizabeth
Partridge Tillotson, an Ohio girl of French descent. She was a highly educated
school teacher, quite an accomplishment for those days.
In 1837, the Gospel was brought to the Whiting family. Edwin and his wife,
his father and mother and some of his brothers and sisters joined the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were baptized by Thomas Marsh in 1838.
Here, as in the time of Christ and His Apostles, the humble, hard-working class
of people were the ones to listen and accept the Gospel of truth.
They were among the early members of our church and soon joined the saints
in Kirtland, Ohio. It was here that their trials, hardships and persecutions
began and it took true manhood, womanhood, and faith in God to endure. They
were forced to leave their new comfortable home, complete with furniture,
orchards and land in Kirtland, Ohio and took only their clothing and a few
valued relics and went to Far West, Missouri. By this time, Edwin and
Elizabeth had four children: William, Helen Amelia, Sarah Elizabeth and Emily
Jane. They were only in Far West a short time and had just built a new home,
when the mob, several thousand strong, ordered them out. Every house in the
village was burned except father Elisha Whiting's, which was spared because he
was so sick then could not move him.
We remember of hearing aunt Elizabeth tell how she sat on the pile of
bedding far into the night with little daughter Jane in her arms. Little Jane
died soon after from exposure and lack of proper food. Sarah clapped her hands
at the big bonfire the mob had made with their fences and the select wood from
her father's chair shop. They were compelled to flee again so they joined the
saints at Lima in father Morley's branch, where Edwin Whiting acted as
counselor to brother Morley.
For Several years, the saints were happily building up the city of Nauvoo,
and their temple. Here they worshipped God without as much persecution as they
had experienced at Lima. Edwin was appointed Colonel in the Nauvoo Legion and
was an active worker at all times for the up-building of His Church.
Through the advice of those in authority, and for a righteous purpose, he
entered the law of plural marriage. In the year 1845, he married Almira
Meacham. The following year, January 27, 1846, he married Mary Elizabeth Cox.
That same year, he was called on a mission to Pennsylvania and was there at the
time of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith. He woon returned
home and took up arms with his bretheren to protect his property and the lives
of his family.
During the battle of the Crooked River, his brother Charles was killed.
Still a greater test awaited him, his brothers, Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey and
Lewis and his sister, Louisa did not feel that Brigham Young should be the
leader of the Church so they followed a Mr. Cutler and called themselves
"Cutlerites" and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day they hold
tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still
correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple
work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family.
Edwin Whiting, his families, his father and mother stayed with the saints,
who were compelled to move west as far as Mt. Pisgah, (now known as Talmadge)
Iowa. There they stayed to prepare for the journey across the plains.
The dreaded disease, cholera, took the father and mother of Edwin, his
little brother and little daughter, Emily Jane. Their names are on the
monument lately erected at that place in memory of those who died there. So
many of his family were sick at one time, that there was no one well enough to
get the sick ones a drink, but even in those trying times, they still had faith
and rejoiced in the Gospel, for the Lord was with them. Emeline, a sister of
Edwin, married Fredrick Walter Cox and the two families were as one big family
for years. They established a chair factory and hauled the chairs to Quincy,
Illinois where they were sold. From this and their crops, they prepared to
come west. Aunt Mary taught school two terms and helped the family some.
While at Mt. Pisgah, three children were born. Albert Milton was born to Mary.
Oscar Newell was born to Elizabeth, and Catherine Emeline was born to Almira.
In April, 1849, Edwin and Emeline, the only children of Elisha and Sally
Whiting who stayed true to the Church, started westward in brother Morley's
company.
Volumes have been written of the westward journey of the saints, and as
Congressman Leatherstood has said, "It is the greatest emigration trail that
was ever blazed and our pioneers will some day stand out in history as the
greatest pioneers of the world."
They fought Indians, had their cattle stampeeded, suffered for lack of
proper food, and even though tired from that long and tedious trek, still they
went on. After reaching the Black Hills, a heavy snow storm came and for three
days they were shut in. Many of their cattle died and perhaps they would have
died had not the teams and provisions sent by President Brigham Young come to
their aid. On October 28, 1849, they reached Salt Lake City, which looked
like a haven of rest to that travel-worn company. Aunt Mary said, "I have
never beheld a sight so good and so beautiful as Salt Lake City. We were so
thankful our journey was at an end." But their rest was of short duration, for
in a few days, Edwin Whiting, the Morley's and the Cox's were called to settle
the San Pitch River, now known as Manti. Again they journeyed on. It took
three weeks to go from Salt Lake City, because they had to build their own
roads.
Provo was then a village of about six homes. As they passed Hobble Creek,
afterwards known as Springville, Edwin Whiting remarked, "This is a fertile
spot. I would like to stop here."
They arrived in Sanpete county on December 1, 1849, with almost nothing to
eat, no food for their cattle, no shelter to keep them warm, and cold weather
upon them. They made "dug-outs" on the south side of the hill where the Manti
Temple now stands. It was a severe winter, with snow so deep the cattle could
scarcely get grass and most of them died. Food had to be divided with the
Indians to keep peace. President Young had promised them provisions and help,
but none came, so Edwin and Orville Cox put on snow shoes and with a little
parched corn in their pockets for food, placed their bedding on a sleigh and
started toward Salt Lake City for help. When they reached Nephi Canyon, they
met their help, brother Dace Henry, his wife, her brother, Mr. Dodge and an
Indian, snow bound. Their cattle had died and their wagons were all but
covered with snow. The young wife was very sick, so Edwin gave them the sleigh
to pull her to Manti. They put their quilts on their backs and walked on to
Salt Lake Clity and reported conditions to President Young. Aid was
immediately sent, but some of that company went back to Salt Lake City.
Edwin's family now numbered fourteen. They lived in a large room in the
wall of the hill with their chair factory in one end. The men and boys hauled
wood from the hills on the hand sleighs.
The following spring (1850), there were three girls born. Harriet Lucinda
was born to Mary Elizabeth in April, Louisa Melitia was born to Elizabeth in
May, and Cornelia Dolly was born to Almira in June.
For several seasons, very little was raised. It became necessary to build a
fort to protect themselves from the Indians, for they felt that the white man
had stolen their land. The gates of the fort were locked while the men went to
the fields with their guns. From this developed the Walker War. Edwin was
appointed Captain for the Militia. Twice the Indians drove his cattle off and
stole whatever they could.
Edwin often told us of one big old ox that he owned. The ox would rebel
whenever an Indian tried to drive him. He would turn on his captors and break
their defense and come home. He hated Indians and would always lower his head
and challenge them if they came near.
Edwin tried planting fruit trees, shrubs and flowers, but they could not
survive the very cold winters. Their crops were poor, but they managed to
exist and were a happy family in spite of their hardships.
In 1854, he was called to Ohio on a mission and was gone for two years.
While he was away, the grasshoppers came and took everything they raised. They
faced starvation, but miraculously, where the crops had been, a patch of
pigweeds grew and they lived on them until the corn ripened in Utah County.
A strange thing it was, for the Indians said those pigweeds had never grown
there before, nor have they grown since. Walter Cox divided with his brother's
(brother-in-law) family while Edwin was away.
Edwin, upon his return, brought many kinds of fruit trees, (some from his
father's farm that he helped to plant when a boy) shrubs and flowers, and again
tried to grow them, but the climate was too cold.
On the 8th of October, 1856, Edwin married Hannah Haines Brown. Abby Ann
Whiting was born to this couple at Manti in 1858 and Lorenzo Snow Whiting was
born at Manti in 1860.
On the 14th day of April, 1857, he married Mary Ann Washburn. Two children
were born to the family while they resided at Manti. Daniel Abram was born in
May, 1858 and Monroe Finch Whiting was born in November, 1862.
While he lived at Manti, Edwin was among the foremost men in religious and
civic affairs of the community. He was councelor to the Stake President. He
was mayor of the city from 1857 to 1861. He was a member of the legislature
for two terms, and as stated before, he was Captain of the Militia in the
Walker War.
After finding the climate of Manti unfavorable for raising fruit, his
special work, he was advised by Presiden Young to try out his nursery at
Springville. He moved to Springville in 1861 and was able to plant and grow
all kinds and varieties of fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. People used to
come from neighboring communities to see his flowers.
He built a home on the lot where the Springville Second Ward Church now
stands. That old two story adobe home will stand in the memory of the members
of the Whiting Family as a place of many happy evenings and of fun and
amusement. Aunt Mary also taught school there.
He transplanted, in different towns, many evergreens from the mountains.
Those around the old Court House in Provo, those at the Springville City park,
and one large evergreen that stands southwest of the Manti Temple which can be
seen for miles around. He once said "I brought that in my dinner bucket and I
think it was the first evergreen transplanted in Utah."
His life was typical of this great tree. A poem written by Emmay Whiting,
wife of Daniel Whiting, describes his life and this tree as being similar.
Edwin had one of the largest families in Utah. Many of those stand at the
head of Stake and Ward organizations in our Church. Among his descendants,
we found seven bishops.
In his later life, he did temple work for his dead relatives in the Salt
Lake Temple, St. George Temple, and in the Logan Temple. He lived the
principles of his religion. He was honest, charitable, and never accumulated
great riches. He was thrifty and loved his wives and children and gave them
the comforts of life.
He died at Mapleton, Utah on the 9th of December, 1890 at the age of
eighty-one years. He was firm in his belief and testimony of the truthfulness
of the Gospel.
His descendants are numerous and are found in Idaho, Arizona, Mexico,
California, New York, and in Utah.

1849: Before and After Mt. Pisgah
page 192-193 In the spring of 1849, Sylvester Hulet was called to help establish a fort at Provo. It was called Fort Utah. The same spring, Edwin Whiting and family left Mt. Pisgah, Iowa and began the big trek toward the west. They visited the Coxes and Whitings at Silver Creek. Then they made their way to the Elkhorn river in Nebraska. by the time that they arrived at the Elkhorn, it had been three monts since they left Mt. Pisgah. They were made part of the George A. Smith company of fifty, wagons. Ezra T. Benson was in command of the whole company of one hundred wagons. When the big trek began from there, Edwin's family consisted of the following:

HISTORY: (Compiled by Jennie Bird Hill, daughter of Abby Ann Whiting, daughter
of Edwin and Hannah Whiting- 1919) "About the year 1800, in the
little town of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, near the border of New
York, lived the family of Elisha and Sally Hulett Whiting. Elisha Whiting's
father was a sea captain and lived in Connecticut. He died when Elisha was
very young. His mother, not knowing what else to do, bound him to an old
Quaker, who was very cruel to him, and after a few years, he ran away to
Massachusetts and worked on a farm with a wheelwright. Here he was married to
Sally Hulett. They were highly respected, honest, generous and firm in their
convictions.
Elisha Whiting followed the trade of wagon and chair maker and did his work
well. His wife was very gifted in making prose and poetry, a characteristic
that has been bequeathed to many of the Whiting descendants. To Elisha and
Sally Whiting, twelve children were born, eight sons and four daughters as
follows: (1) Charles, (2) William, (3) Edwin, (4) Charles, (5) Katherine
Louisa, (6) Harriet, (7) Sally Emeline, (8) Chauncey, (9) Almond, (10) Jane,
(11) Sylvester, and (12) Lewis.
Edwin Whiting was born September 9, 1809, the third child of this family.
When he was six years old, his parents moved to Nelson, Portage County, Ohio.
At that time, it was the western frontier of the U.S.A. but probably the very
place his father wished to be to get a suitable timber for his trade and for
support of his large family.
Edwin Whiting's chance for education was very limited, but they were all
taught the "3 R's", Readin', Ritin', and Rithmetic, and he wrote an legible
hand, an extrordinary feat for his time. At an early age, he wrote credible
verse.
His early life in the forest, no doubt, accounts for his love of the
out-of-doors, the beauties of nature, the trees, the flowers, the mountains and
the desire to hunt.
One Sunday morning, when but a small boy, he decided to go hunting. He knew
this was contrary to his parent's teachings, so he tried to draw his gun
through the cracks between the logs of his bedroom and go unmolested. His gun
caught and was discharged, inflicting a serious wound in his left arm. This,
he said, was a lesson to observe the Sabbath Day and to obey his parents.
He learned the chair making trade from his father and his workmanship was
considered very good.
In 1833, when Edwin was twenty-four years old, he married Elizabeth
Partridge Tillotson, an Ohio girl of French descent. She was a highly educated
school teacher, quite an accomplishment for those days.
In 1837, the Gospel was brought to the Whiting family. Edwin and his wife,
his father and mother and some of his brothers and sisters joined the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were baptized by Thomas Marsh in 1838.
Here, as in the time of Christ and His Apostles, the humble, hard-working class
of people were the ones to listen and accept the Gospel of truth.
They were among the early members of our church and soon joined the saints
in Kirtland, Ohio. It was here that their trials, hardships and persecutions
began and it took true manhood, womanhood, and faith in God to endure. They
were forced to leave their new comfortable home, complete with furniture,
orchards and land in Kirtland, Ohio and took only their clothing and a few
valued relics and went to Far West, Missouri. By this time, Edwin and
Elizabeth had four children: William, Helen Amelia, Sarah Elizabeth and Emily
Jane. They were only in Far West a short time and had just built a new home,
when the mob, several thousand strong, ordered them out. Every house in the
village was burned except father Elisha Whiting's, which was spared because he
was so sick then could not move him.
We remember of hearing aunt Elizabeth tell how she sat on the pile of
bedding far into the night with little daughter Jane in her arms. Little Jane
died soon after from exposure and lack of proper food. Sarah clapped her hands
at the big bonfire the mob had made with their fences and the select wood from
her father's chair shop. They were compelled to flee again so they joined the
saints at Lima in father Morley's branch, where Edwin Whiting acted as
counselor to brother Morley.
For Several years, the saints were happily building up the city of Nauvoo,
and their temple. Here they worshipped God without as much persecution as they
had experienced at Lima. Edwin was appointed Colonel in the Nauvoo Legion and
was an active worker at all times for the up-building of His Church.
Through the advice of those in authority, and for a righteous purpose, he
entered the law of plural marriage. In the year 1845, he married Almira
Meacham. The following year, January 27, 1846, he married Mary Elizabeth Cox.
That same year, he was called on a mission to Pennsylvania and was there at the
time of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith. He woon returned
home and took up arms with his bretheren to protect his property and the lives
of his family.
During the battle of the Crooked River, his brother Charles was killed.
Still a greater test awaited him, his brothers, Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey and
Lewis and his sister, Louisa did not feel that Brigham Young should be the
leader of the Church so they followed a Mr. Cutler and called themselves
"Cutlerites" and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day they hold
tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still
correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple
work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family.
Edwin Whiting, his families, his father and mother stayed with the saints,
who were compelled to move west as far as Mt. Pisgah, (now known as Talmadge)
Iowa. There they stayed to prepare for the journey across the plains.
The dreaded disease, cholera, took the father and mother of Edwin, his
little brother and little daughter, Emily Jane. Their names are on the
monument lately erected at that place in memory of those who died there. So
many of his family were sick at one time, that there was no one well enough to
get the sick ones a drink, but even in those trying times, they still had faith
and rejoiced in the Gospel, for the Lord was with them. Emeline, a sister of
Edwin, married Fredrick Walter Cox and the two families were as one big family
for years. They established a chair factory and hauled the chairs to Quincy,
Illinois where they were sold. From this and their crops, they prepared to
come west. Aunt Mary taught school two terms and helped the family some.
While at Mt. Pisgah, three children were born. Albert Milton was born to Mary.
Oscar Newell was born to Elizabeth, and Catherine Emeline was born to Almira.
In April, 1849, Edwin and Emeline, the only children of Elisha and Sally
Whiting who stayed true to the Church, started westward in brother Morley's
company.
Volumes have been written of the westward journey of the saints, and as
Congressman Leatherstood has said, "It is the greatest emigration trail that
was ever blazed and our pioneers will some day stand out in history as the
greatest pioneers of the world."
They fought Indians, had their cattle stampeeded, suffered for lack of
proper food, and even though tired from that long and tedious trek, still they
went on. After reaching the Black Hills, a heavy snow storm came and for three
days they were shut in. Many of their cattle died and perhaps they would have
died had not the teams and provisions sent by President Brigham Young come to
their aid. On October 28, 1849, they reached Salt Lake City, which looked
like a haven of rest to that travel-worn company. Aunt Mary said, "I have
never beheld a sight so good and so beautiful as Salt Lake City. We were so
thankful our journey was at an end." But their rest was of short duration, for
in a few days, Edwin Whiting, the Morley's and the Cox's were called to settle
the San Pitch River, now known as Manti. Again they journeyed on. It took
three weeks to go from Salt Lake City, because they had to build their own
roads.
Provo was then a village of about six homes. As they passed Hobble Creek,
afterwards known as Springville, Edwin Whiting remarked, "This is a fertile
spot. I would like to stop here."
They arrived in Sanpete county on December 1, 1849, with almost nothing to
eat, no food for their cattle, no shelter to keep them warm, and cold weather
upon them. They made "dug-outs" on the south side of the hill where the Manti
Temple now stands. It was a severe winter, with snow so deep the cattle could
scarcely get grass and most of them died. Food had to be divided with the
Indians to keep peace. President Young had promised them provisions and help,
but none came, so Edwin and Orville Cox put on snow shoes and with a little
parched corn in their pockets for food, placed their bedding on a sleigh and
started toward Salt Lake City for help. When they reached Nephi Canyon, they
met their help, brother Dace Henry, his wife, her brother, Mr. Dodge and an
Indian, snow bound. Their cattle had died and their wagons were all but
covered with snow. The young wife was very sick, so Edwin gave them the sleigh
to pull her to Manti. They put their quilts on their backs and walked on to
Salt Lake Clity and reported conditions to President Young. Aid was
immediately sent, but some of that company went back to Salt Lake City.
Edwin's family now numbered fourteen. They lived in a large room in the
wall of the hill with their chair factory in one end. The men and boys hauled
wood from the hills on the hand sleighs.
The following spring (1850), there were three girls born. Harriet Lucinda
was born to Mary Elizabeth in April, Louisa Melitia was born to Elizabeth in
May, and Cornelia Dolly was born to Almira in June.
For several seasons, very little was raised. It became necessary to build a
fort to protect themselves from the Indians, for they felt that the white man
had stolen their land. The gates of the fort were locked while the men went to
the fields with their guns. From this developed the Walker War. Edwin was
appointed Captain for the Militia. Twice the Indians drove his cattle off and
stole whatever they could.
Edwin often told us of one big old ox that he owned. The ox would rebel
whenever an Indian tried to drive him. He would turn on his captors and break
their defense and come home. He hated Indians and would always lower his head
and challenge them if they came near.
Edwin tried planting fruit trees, shrubs and flowers, but they could not
survive the very cold winters. Their crops were poor, but they managed to
exist and were a happy family in spite of their hardships.
In 1854, he was called to Ohio on a mission and was gone for two years.
While he was away, the grasshoppers came and took everything they raised. They
faced starvation, but miraculously, where the crops had been, a patch of
pigweeds grew and they lived on them until the corn ripened in Utah County.
A strange thing it was, for the Indians said those pigweeds had never grown
there before, nor have they grown since. Walter Cox divided with his brother's
(brother-in-law) family while Edwin was away.
Edwin, upon his return, brought many kinds of fruit trees, (some from his
father's farm that he helped to plant when a boy) shrubs and flowers, and again
tried to grow them, but the climate was too cold.
On the 8th of October, 1856, Edwin married Hannah Haines Brown. Abby Ann
Whiting was born to this couple at Manti in 1858 and Lorenzo Snow Whiting was
born at Manti in 1860.
On the 14th day of April, 1857, he married Mary Ann Washburn. Two children
were born to the family while they resided at Manti. Daniel Abram was born in
May, 1858 and Monroe Finch Whiting was born in November, 1862.
While he lived at Manti, Edwin was among the foremost men in religious and
civic affairs of the community. He was councelor to the Stake President. He
was mayor of the city from 1857 to 1861. He was a member of the legislature
for two terms, and as stated before, he was Captain of the Militia in the
Walker War.
After finding the climate of Manti unfavorable for raising fruit, his
special work, he was advised by Presiden Young to try out his nursery at
Springville. He moved to Springville in 1861 and was able to plant and grow
all kinds and varieties of fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. People used to
come from neighboring communities to see his flowers.
He built a home on the lot where the Springville Second Ward Church now
stands. That old two story adobe home will stand in the memory of the members
of the Whiting Family as a place of many happy evenings and of fun and
amusement. Aunt Mary also taught school there.
He transplanted, in different towns, many evergreens from the mountains.
Those around the old Court House in Provo, those at the Springville City park,
and one large evergreen that stands southwest of the Manti Temple which can be
seen for miles around. He once said "I brought that in my dinner bucket and I
think it was the first evergreen transplanted in Utah."
His life was typical of this great tree. A poem written by Emmay Whiting,
wife of Daniel Whiting, describes his life and this tree as being similar.
Edwin had one of the largest families in Utah. Many of those stand at the
head of Stake and Ward organizations in our Church. Among his descendants,
we found seven bishops.
In his later life, he did temple work for his dead relatives in the Salt
Lake Temple, St. George Temple, and in the Logan Temple. He lived the
principles of his religion. He was honest, charitable, and never accumulated
great riches. He was thrifty and loved his wives and children and gave them
the comforts of life.
He died at Mapleton, Utah on the 9th of December, 1890 at the age of
eighty-one years. He was firm in his belief and testimony of the truthfulness
of the Gospel.
His descendants are numerous and are found in Idaho, Arizona, Mexico,
California, New York, and in Utah.

In the spring of 1849, Sylvester Hulet was called to help establish a fort at Provo. It was called Fort Utah. The same spring, Edwin Whiting and family left Mt. Pisgah, Iowa and began the big trek toward the west. They visited the Coxes and Whitings at Silver Creek. Then they made their way to the Elkhorn river in Nebraska. by the time that they arrived at the Elkhorn, it had been three months since they left Mt. Pisgah. They were made part of the George A. Smith company of fifty, wagons. Ezra T. Benson was in command of the whole company of one hundred wagons. When the big trek began from there, Edwin's family consisted of the following:

ELISHA WHITING, Jr. & SALLY HULET WHITING HISTORY:[Compiled from the collected writings of Martha Whiting Brown, Ruth Brown Lewis, other family writings, and historical writings as noted in text.]by Louine B. Hunter [1997 revision]


E lisha's father, Elisha, was born November 21, 1762, at Hartford Connecticut. He married Susannah Butler March 25, 1784, at West Hartford.

Elisha was a sea captain. He DESERTED his wife and children. We have the DIVORCE PAPERS.
13. Hartford probates (nothing for Elisha Whiting or Susanna his wife)
note: None of these children were christened while the father was living (or at home) and only the third was christened at all (in Hartford). The family history states that "after the death of the father, the mother apprenticed out the son to an old Quaker, from whom he ran away. The 7190 census of Connecticut does not list either Elisha or susanna as head of a family. No record of his death has been found. susannah married again in 1796 and removed to New York ( could there have been a divorce, or Elisha left home?) In August 1786 Elisha "formerly of Farmington, now of Hartford" for bad husbandry and mismanagement was taken under the care of the Selectmen of Farmington, but was released when he moved to Hartford.

! Noted in Baltimore, Maryland marriages: Elisha Whiting and Sarah Tidy 3 Jan 1791: Who is he?
!14. Records of Northampton, New York (Received by correspondence 22Jun1965)
Nothing on Reuben Simmons in land records and no other information in probates.
!15. 1790 census of Connecticut: No Elisha Whiting Reuben Simmons in Simsbury, 3 male over 16 2 females
!None of these children were christened while the father was living (or at home) and only the third was christened at all (in Hartford).

The 1790 census of Conn. does not list either Elisha or Susanna as head of a family. No record of this death has been found.

In August 1786 Elisha "formerly of Farmington, now of Hartford" for bad husbandry and mismanagement was taken under the care of the Selectmen of Farmington, but was released when he moved to Hartford.

Noted in Baltimore, Maryland marriages: Elisha Whiting and Sarah Tidy 3 Jan 1791 (who is he?);
He left his wife alone to care for their three small children in Hartford. Elisha Jr. had two younger sisters, Polly and Susannah. EDITOR'S NOTE: Although we do not have a death date for Elisha Sr., we know he died at a young age, probably around age 28, and near the year 1790. Their last child was born about 1789, and Susannah married her second husband, Reuben Simmons on May 1, 1796, indicating that Elisha and Susannah were married far less than twelve years, and probably closer to six years.


Revo lutionary War Records, Connecticut, page 541: "Elisha Whiting,[Sr.] Private in Captain Ozias Bissell's Company." His birth date is listed as November 21, 1762. The war was fought between 1775 and 1783, indicating that Elisha was somewhere between thirteen and twenty one while serving in the Revolutionary War.


ELISHA JR'S EARLY YEARS Without her husband's income, Susannah was very poor. Not knowing what else to do, she eventually bound Elisha out to an old Quaker to learn the carpentry trade. Though Elisha worked hard, the Quaker was very mean to him, sometimes hitting him and doing other cruel things.


Elisha was very unhappy. He was resentful of his mother and to all concerned that such a thing had happened to him. He never got over those feelings and his children and grandchildren knew that his lips were sealed so far as any experiences of his youth were concerned.


Cordelia Perry, his granddaughter, told Martha Whiting Brown the following: His feelings were so badly hurt that he never wanted to speak of it. One day at his chair and wagon shop in Manti, Ohio, a stranger came in and brought up the subject of being a relative from his early days. Elisha flew into a rage and refused to listen to him, then ordered him to leave his shop at once.


So we, his children's children, will never know, I guess, just what he went through, being sent from home by his mother, after his father's DESERTION. They say he was bitter about it until the day he died.


ELISH A MEETS SALLY Although he was afraid of the old Quaker, Elisha ran away to make his own way in the world. He went to Lee, Massachusetts, where he met Sylvanus Hulet, a wheelwright (one who makes repairs of wheels and wheeled vehicles) who lived on a farm. Elisha asked Sylvanus for a job, assuring him that he could do carpentry work and make chairs and furniture, so he was hired.


Ther e he met Sylvanus' daughter, Sally, a real pretty girl, the oldest of the seven Hulet children. She was part Indian and had dark hair and dark eyes. Elisha soon fell in love with Sally who was not quite seventeen years old; he was not yet twenty.


They were married September 18, 1805. Lee, Massachusetts was their first home, where their first four children were born. It was a sad day when their first baby died the same day it was born in 1806. A year later William was born, followed the next year by Edwin, their third child. Two and a half years later Charles was born. The next two children, Catherine, 3 Oct 1813, and Harriet, 16 Aug 1815, were born in their second place of residence.


NELSON, PORTAGE, OHIO, 1817 When little Edwin was six, the family traveled over the Mohawk Trail to Nelson, Ohio, which was then the western frontier, probably the very place Elisha wished to be to get suitable timber for his carpentry trade, to support his growing family.


Eli sha built a log cabin on a quiet sloping hill that looked out over the valley. He built an open fireplace where Sally cooked. An iron crane protruded from the side where Sally would hang a kettle from the crane and push it back over the fire. When she wanted to bake bread, she put the dough inside the kettle and put red hot coals on the flat top.


Around the room were beds, a table and a cupboard. After all, her husband was a carpenter who learned to do beautiful work while he was with the old Quaker. He made a handsome black walnut bureau for Sally that she was very proud of. The girls slept in a trundle bed that was pulled out from under their parent's bed. They soon built another section onto their log cabin. One side they lived in; the other side was a wagon and carpentry shop At night they lit tallow candles and burned knots from pine trees in the fireplace while they told stories.


The last six of their twelve children were born in Nelson, Portage, Ohio: Emeline, Chauncy, Almon, Jane, Sylvester, and Lewis. Their education was limited, but they were all taught "the three R's: Readin', Ritin', and Rithmetic." We are told that Sally Hulet Whiting was a wonderful woman and that she was very gifted in writing prose and poetry, a characteristic bequeathed to many of her Whiting descendants. Sally and Elisha were some of the most respected citizens of Nelson. They were honest, generous, and firm in their convictions.


THREE STORIES ABOUT CATHERINE Catherine was the fourth child of Sally and Elisha. Catherine spent a lot of time with her relatives, especially her grandmother, Mary Lewis Hulet, and her aunts and cousins.


A TRIP THROUGH THE WOODS One day Catherine went to visit her aunt who sent her on an errand to borrow a pattern from a friend who lived about a mile away, straight through the woods. She knew she wouldn't get lost, but it was kind of scary to go into the woods alone. She wanted to please her aunt so she tied on her sunbonnet and began her errand. As she went along she saw some snakes, but she was used to them, they did not frighten her. She saw plenty of rabbits and squirrels and other little animals. The forest was beautiful and interesting and she was having a good time.


She soon reached the aunt's house, got the pattern from her and started back. When she was almost home she saw a big, black bear. Upon seeing Catherine, the bear rose to his hind feet! Catherine was nearly paralyzed with fear, so frightened that she could not move. After the bear watched her for a little while it dropped down on all fours and lumbered away with a growl. She ran the rest of the way home.


THE CHIEF'S SON Sometimes the Indians came to see the people. When Catherine Whiting was a little girl, an Indian chief came with his little son. He had shining black eyes, copper colored skin, and his father was very proud of him. Because the father was a chief, both were dressed in colorful beads, earrings, brooches, and elaborate clothes.The chief thought Catherine was so cute that he told her he would give her one of his brooches if she would kiss his little son. She really wanted that brooch, but she did not want to kiss the boy. The chief was quite offended; he thought she should be very proud to kiss his son, but she would not kiss him.


After the Indians went away, Sally, Catherine's mother, was afraid they might come back and do some harm, but they never did.


BEDTIM E FRIGHT One evening while their father (Elisha) was away, the family sat around the fire talking. Catherine became sleepy but she did not want to take a candle up the stairs, so she went up in the dark and got ready for bed. She put her hand down to turn the covers back and felt a big, hairy head. "Oh!" she screamed, and fled down the stairs crying, "There's a man sleeping in my bed!"


Her mother was alarmed but bravely flew into action. She took a broom in one hand and a candle in the other and dashed up the stairs, followed by her boys who held clubs at the ready. They all rushed into the room to find out WHO WAS SLEEPING IN CATHERINE'S BED?, just like the "Three Bears and Goldilocks".


When they held up the candle, they saw their old dog, Paint, under the covers. The boys laughed and teased Catherine!


EDWIN AND THE GUN In the Whiting family, no one was allowed to hunt on the Sabbath. One Sunday morning Edwin decided he wanted to go hunting, so he tried to sneak his gun out of the house by drawing it through a crack between the logs. The gun got caught, fired, and wounded his left arm. That was a lesson to keep the Sabbath day holy that he never forgot. He retold this story to his children and grandchildren many times.

Death of Mary Lewis Hulet
Sally's mother, Mary Lewis Hulet, went through all the hardships the Saints went through in Missouri before she died in Clay County, probably in 1837.
Two of her daughters, Charlotte and Rhoda, died in Missouri; martyrs for the faith. Only Sally, of Mary's daughters, lived to leave Missouri.
Caldwell County
Growing resentment from their Clay County neighbors caused the Saints to agree once again to give up their land and many possessions, and move as a body to Caldwell County, where they soon founded the new settlement they named Far West.

Sylvanus was a Soldier in 2 campaigns in the Revolutionary War, against Bourgogne in 1777 and against Arnold, who burned his home town in South Connecticut in 1780. Three brothers, John, Sylvanus and Samuel were partners in a blacksmith and wagon-making shop and a mill in the edge of Lee township against Tyringham twp, Berkshire, MA. Samuel died 6 Mar 1813. The farm was valued at $35 per acre. The estate was settled and by 1815 Sylvanus and John had moved to Nelson twp, Portage, OH. When Sylvanus applied for a Revolutionary Pension in 1820, his 160 acres was valued at $3 per acre. Connecticut kept the NE corner of Ohio for Revolutionary Soldiers as the "Western Reserve".

In 1814 the Hulets' moved from Lee, Berkshire, MA to Nelson, Portage, OH. They were baptised Mormons in Oct 1831. About 1831 they moved to Independence, Jackson, MO. Oct 31, 1833 mobs drove them north across the Missouri River into Clay County. In 1836 they moved north into Far West, Caldwell, MO. In early spring 1839 they moved to Melrose, Lima twp, IL, about 30 miles south of Nauvoo. In the fall of 1845 mobs drove them into Nauvoo. In 1846 they were driven into Iowa, later coming to the Salt Lake Valley.

!Patricia Skinner (4 - 2000) patty555@webtv.net "Sylvanus bought land in Lee, Massachusetts and Great Barrington in 1800. He stayed in that vicinity until approximately 1812, when he boutht land in the new frontier - Ohio. He moved to Portage, Ohio. He married Mary (Polly) Lewis. Sylvanus' children were among the early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). He and Polly had 4 children. They were: (1) Sally, born 29 Oct 1787 who married Elisha Whiton (Whiting) on 18 Sep 1806, (2) Charles, born 3 Mar 1790 who married Anna Taylor on 22 Jun 1814 in Lee, Massachusetts. Anna died a year later. Charles then married Margaret Noah on 10 Oct 1816 in Portage, Ohio. Margaret died on 15 Apr 1851 of Dithers disease. On 24 Jan 1852 Charles married Cinthia Clyde. Shortly thereafter, Cinthia divorced him. In 1857 Charles married Eleanor Jenkins. During his marriage he took a second wife, which was the custom of the Mormons in those days. Her name was Mary Lawson. They were married 1 Jan 1858. Mary died in an accident while crossing the plains. By his 5 wives Charles had 7 children. (3) Charlott, born 7 Nov 1792 (4) Rhoda, born 8 Jun 1795. Those were the children listed as born in Lee Vital Records. Other children I have found born to him and Mary (Polly) are (5) Sylvester, born about 1800 (6) Francis, born about 1803, and (7) Mary, born about 1805. Sylvanus can be found in the tax list for Hiram, Portage County in 1817 and 1818. In 1819 and 1820 I have found him in the tax list for Nelson, Portage County, Ohio. He applied for a Soldier's Pension on 14 Jun 1819 while living in Nelson. Many in his family moved to Missouri and then later to Utah.

John's brother Samuel married Susannah Wadsworth on 3 Jun 1789 in Tyringham, Massachusetts. He began buying land in Lee and Great Barrington in the year 1800. While living in Lee they had 4 chidren: (1) Chauncey born 14 Mar 1790, (2) Electa, born 3 May 1793, (3) Orren, born 17 May 1796, (4) (the only thing known about the 4th child is that it passed away at 7 AM on 6 Mar 1808. When malaria hit the area in 1813, every family was affected. Samuel and Susannah died a week apart as a result of the deadly illness. Chauncey is found in the same tax lists in Ohio that his uncle Sylvanus lived in.

John's youngest brother, Asa married a girl named Freelove. Her last name is unknown at this time. They had at least 3 children that we know of: (1) Mary, born about 1781 and (2) Asa, born about 1786. Both children joined the short-lived Shaker religion. (3) Calvin, born about 1792. Asa and his family moved to Barrington, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Freelove died in 1807. Asa remarried on 8 Mar 1812 at Onondaga, New York to Polly Austin. On 8 Jan 1838 he applied for a Soldiers Pension in Livingston County, New York. At least two different dates can be found for his date of death in Russia, Lorain County, Ohio. They are 8 Oct 1846 and 18 Jun 1847. Calvin lived in Leslin, Ingham County, Michigan in 1853. John's sister Mary married her 1st cousin, Seth Hulet on 19 Jun 1764 in Killingly, Connecticut. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Noadiah Russell. Seth was born to Oliver Hulet and his wife Sarah. Oliver was a brother of John Julet (Sr.), also Mary's uncle. While living in Killingly, Seth and Mary had 3 children: (1) Alpheus, born 11 Jan 1765 and baptized 29 Nov 1767 in Thompson, (2) Sybil, born 16 Aug 1767 and baptized 29 Nov 1767 in the church at Thompson. Their Grandmother, Oliver's wife did not live to see them. She passed away in Killingly on 3 Feb 1759. Seth enlisted in the Revolutionary War in 1777. He moved to Tyringham, Massachusetts, where Mary's family had moved to at an earlier date. Seth can be found in the Tyringham, Massachusetts land records between 1796 and 1803. In 1803 he moved to Westmoreland, New York, where he applied for a Soldiers Pension on 7 Aug 1832.

John's sister, Experience married Henry Herrick in Tyringham, Massachusetts on 12 Dec 1776. In May 1777 a daughter is listed as born to them, however no name is given. Henry died in Tyringham on 6 May 1827. I have found no further record of Experience to date.

John married Sarah Howe, and was converted to the Methodist religion. He and his father were both constantly buying land, even when they were not living in the immediate area. The younger John and his wife, Sarah, lived in Tyringham until a year after the war was over. During this time their first child was born. It was a girl, whom they named Achsah, born on 5 May 1784. She was only one of a long line of children to come. Achsah married Seymore Chapin.

Death date: "The Hulet Quarterly" Volume 5, No. 1, June 1972: (page 2) "I have been trying to locate the date and place of Mary Lewis' death and just could not seem to find any trace as to where she was and also tried the recorders in Nelson, Portage County, Ohio and in Jackson and Clay Counties in Missouri, but found no trace of her. In one of the sketches of Sylvester Hulet's biographies by O.C. Day, he mentioned that there was an "old lady" living with Sylvester Hulet and also one of his sisters and two of her daughters and the son of Sylvester's brother, Francis. So I just took a chance that this old lady was our Mary Lewis. Then I found where Eldred A. Johnson of Orem had found in Grandfather Sylvanus Cyrus Hulet, Sr., in his temple work that Mary Lewis had died in 1835. So that showed her as being in the Hulet settlement near Nauvoo, Illinois. I then started to check the reference given by a distant cousin with the name like the third child of our Mary and Sylvanus Hulet. It was Charlotte Cox of Shelley, Idaho. She gave the date of death as being 6 March, 1835. So, evidently Mary Lewis is buried in the cemetery at the Hulet settlement near Nauvoo.
(Editor's note: I wonder if the year 1835 is the right date, or if Nauvoo is the right place. The saints did not settle around Nauvoo until 1839, except for members who were converted locally in the Nauvoo area previous to the saints going to Illinois as a group from Missouri. If Mary Lewis died in 1835, it would probably have been in Missouri, in Clay, Daviess or Caldwell Counties.)"

MARY LEWIS
By Orville Cox Day
January 31, 1966
Hulet Family Newsletter

Dear Cousins,
No, I cannot believe that Mary Lewis, daughter of Jonathan, is our Mary Lewis. There are many reasons for this.

1.
To find a man’s wife, you follow his travels. I have never heard of a road from Lee to Pepperell by 1786. The easiest way to get there would be to go south from Lee to the coast by ship to Boston, then 70 miles by boat and road to Pepperell.

I cannot learn that Sylvanus ever made that trip, but definitely Sylvanus was in Albany County in 1777-78 at age 19-20 and it was only 30 miles from Lee to Albany County.

2.
I cannot find the least indication that any of Mary Lewis Lewis. I investigated the possibility that Elijah died shortly after his marriage, but he did not.

4.
So many mistakes are made by some doing research. Archibald F. Bennett was such a dependable genealogist. He printed in the Utah Genealogical Magazine that Elijah Noyes and Sylvanus Hulet were having children during the same period of years… Elijah and “his wife, Mary Lewis”.

5.
There was a well-traveled road in 1786 from Lee to Albany… in fact two often traveled highways. One was used for 180 years from Lee to Lake Champlain, another from Lee to the Hudson River and by boat to Albany.

6.
D.L. Jacobus, the best genealogist of all, stated that almost never did any White Man marry a New England Indian woman, but so many married Mohawk Indians.

7.
So many researchers are prone to mistakes.
Please forgive me. Yours, O[rville].C[ox]. Day

Sylvanus was released from the Army in Albany County after Bourgoyne surrendered, after October 20, 1777. O.C.

After 71 years, since mother Euphrasia told me our 7th mother back was an Indian:
1. Euphrasia
2. Elvira
3. Rhoda
4. Mary Lewis Hulet
5. ¼ Indian
6. ½ Indian
7. Running Deer (Josnorum Scoenonti)

I’m so glad to find her, and thankful to the Lord we can do her temple work. Tell all cousins please and thanks. With love, your cousin Orville Cox Day. The Lord surely will bless you for the good work you are doing. O.C.D.

PITCH PINE TALES

Reference: “Pitch Pine Tales”, by Howard R. Driggs, son of Rosalie, daughter of Emeline Whiting, first wife of F. Walter Cox of Manti, Sanpete County, Utah. Sally Hulet, who later married Elisha Whiting Jr. was the oldest child of mary Lewis and Sylvanus Hulet. Sally was taken to visit her Indian relatives. This would be around 1800, when Sally was 13 years old. They traveled northwest from Lee in Berkshire County in western Massachusetts about 50 miles to Albany, New York, then west, up the Mohawk River Valley to the Indian village. Running Deer, her grandmother was then dead.

About 1906, Howard R. Driggs, at the Cox Reunion, asked each one of the older Coxes still alive to write about their pioneer experiences. Howard is now dead.

His grandmother, Emeline Whiting Cox told him how her mother Sally had been taken to visit her Indian relatives. Emeline remembered the name in English, “Running Deer”, but had forgotten it’s Mohawk equivalent. Probably we can find it.

These older relatives, aunts, wrote their stories. After Howard died, his nephew Clare Christensen (son of Maud Driggs) got a box of Howard’s papers. Clare also went to Manti for more pioneer manuscripts.

From a Cox/Tuttle School Teacher cousin in Nephi, Clare got another box of manuscripts. He is now writing a Cox history.

In 1814, the Hulets sold out in Lee, Massachusetts and moved to Nelson, Ohio.

I hope Running Deer’s temple work can be done. I wish every one of the descendants of Walter Cox of Fairview could learn about Running Deer. The Book of Mormon is our book.

How many of us have hunted and hunted for the ancestry of Mary Lewis

JOSNORUM SCOENONTI or RUNNING DEER

Cousin Howard R. Driggs was born about 1877, a son of Rosalie Cox Driggs of Pleasant Grove, Utah, daughter of F. Walter Cox of Manti, Utah.

Around 1900, Howard was much interested in family history. At a reunion, he assigned to each aunt to write her pioneer memories. Several copies of each one have been typed since the aunts died.

Later, Howard spent his time on Utah and Western History.

After Howard’s death, his young second wife Margaret looked over his stacks of papers and books and manuscripts. She gave a lot of them to cousin Clare Christensen in American Fork.

Clare is a son of Howard’s sister, Maud Driggs Christensen. He has gathered up so many of these old manuscripts and is writing a Cox history and trying so carefully to get dates and places accurate.

He figures that when grandfather Orville S. Cox was endowed in the Nauvoo Temple in January or February, 1846, they recorded the place where he was born.

In Manti, aunt Ada hired Peter Poulsen to keep the Cox and Mills temple books for the family and he spelled the town wrong, making it the wrong town, many miles… 50 or 75 or 100, away from where the Coxes lived.

Clare phoned me as to who could look up grandpa’s endowment record. I told him I thought you would know how best of any cousin. He asked me if I would write you and ask you to please find it for us… Nauvoo Temple Record, Endowments.

Uncle F. Walter Cox died around 1878 or later. Afterward, his first wife, aunt Emeline Whiting Cox visited a lot with her daughter Rosalie Cox Driggs in Pleasant Grove. She told the Driggs cousins ‘til she died in 1896, many true stories about every family history.

Howard printed many books. In a book for children, age ten, “Pitch Pine Tales”, he put the name in English of our 5th great grandmother, Running Deer.

I wrote to Utah Representative Burton in Washington, D.C. and he looked up her Indian name in the Indian Dictionary, Josnorum Scoenonti. (She was baptized in the temple 15 September 1966 and endowed 2 February 1967).

It will be recorded in the archives [LEWIS] Josnorum Scoenanti or Running Deer, born C 1682 in Mohawk Village, Mohawk River Valley, Northern New York, married a White Man C 1700. (Perhaps 26,000 descendants).

We have arranged to have her temple work done.

JOHN HULET FAMILY

The John Hulet family moved from Killingly to Lee in 1860. Sylvanus Hulet moved from Lee to Nelson in 1814. He made application for a Revolutionary soldier’s pension on 14 June 1814 and said his wife was age 57. The application was revised 8 August 1820 and granted. For 4 years she received $16 per month. He served in two campaigns, against Burgoyne in 1777 and against Arnold in 1780. We have not yet found the parents of Mary Lewis. Some one said she was part Mohawk Indian. The Mohawks lived west of Albany, New York. When asked how much Indian blood he had, Sylvanus answered “not one drop”.

The Hulets moved from Nelson, Ohio to Jackson County, Missouri around 1831 and there Mary Hulet West died. She left 2 litt

Walter married Deland, Judith on 16 Nov 1769 in Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States. Judith (daughter of Deland, John III and Upham, Judith) was born on 15 Apr 1750 in Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; was christened on 15 Apr 1750 in Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; died in Apr 1832 in Nelson, Portage, Ohio, United States, United States.

The diary of Rev. Daniel Wadsworth mentions April 8, 1739: "Lord's day I preached per totum from psal. 50. I. and baptized Mary ye daughter of Ichabod Wadsworth..."
William was "of West Hartford" according to Hinman. He served in the Revolutionary War in the summer of 1775 at Ticonderoga, and died that fall at age 39 from an illness contracted while in the service. Mary remained in Hartford during the war.
In 1782 "widow Mary Whiting of Farmington" married Abner Curtis. The couple lived in Farmington, CT, and sold some land, along with son William Whiting, to Jeremiah Wadsworth, Elisha Whiting is witness.
