Bathsheba Van Meter

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Sarah sent a couple links with information for Bathsheba Van Meter.

The first link is “History and Genealogy of Fenwick’s Colony” By Thomas Shourds (on Google Books).

I haven’t entered family history information that far back (I’m trying to follow the start at the present and work your way back methodology), So I’ll have to look in the Book of Remembrance to see how Bathsheba Van Meter who married Thomas Brooks is related to the Bathsheba Van Meter at Fenwick’s Colony.

The second link is list of Vanmeters from the Old Daretown Presbyterian Cemetery. I don’t see Bathsheba Van Meter (died 21 Aug 1866) on the list. Does anyone know where she was buried?

Is her surname Van Meter, Van meter or Vanmeter?

Beatrice May Bond

Monday, February 25th, 2008

I have corresponded with David who has an ancestor’s sister (Beatrice) that married William Harding, her 3rd & last Hubby, no children are reported. She is buried under the Harding name at Aultorest Park in Ogden.

This is interesting because I didn’t realize that William was married more than once. I’ll have to double check and update and the records.

Photo of Gardner and Maria Dunn Curtis

This photo of Gardner and Maria Dunn Curtis was provided to me by Shauna Hart.

Photo of Gardner and Maria Dunn Curtis

Update: This picture has been printed in a Thornton Family Book as Gardner and Maria, and a cropped picture of the woman has been printed in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Volume as Maria Dunn Curtis, family members in Salt Lake who are related through Gardner’s son, Uriah Eugene and his wife, Sarah Mendenhall, have pictures of him hanging on their wall, say this picture is Uriah Eugene and his wife, Sarah, not Gardner and Maria. I have a number of pictures of Uriah Eugene and Sarah and agree with them. I would be surprised if a picture of Gardner and Maria exists. I have never seen one in all the gathering and searching I have done.

Isaac Morley at Winter Quarters

Sunday, July 9th, 2006

Isaac Morley and his family is listed in Statistics of the Winter Quarters Fifth Ward Residential Area at BYU’s Winters Quarters Project. It also lists Lucy Diantha Morley’s grave (#285), but this seems to conflict with the family records I have.

Brigham Young

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

Yesterday I read:

Brother Morley and his wife Lucy were adopted and sealed to President Brigham Young’s family the day before the Saints were driven from Nauvoo (February 3, 1846). Elder Heber C. Kimball officiated in this ordinance work with A.W. Syman as a witness.”
