10510	Walter Strickland, Esq., of Sizergh, co. Westmorland, was born on 5 Apr 1516, and inherited Thornton Bridge, the unentailed manor of his maternal grandfather, Ralph Neville. On 8 Mar 1535 he was contracted to be married to Margaret, under-age daughter of Stephen Hammerton, Knt. In 1537, on the occasion of his livery, he was said to be married to AGNES ?. She was evidently another daughter of Stephen Hammerton, Knt. by Elizabeth, daughter of John Bigod, of Settrington, co. York, and sister of Margaret. Both Strickland and Hammerton, who had been in correspondence, were implicated in the uprising called the 'Pilgrimage of Grace'. Though both were pardoned, Stephen Hammerton was attained and executed by hanging on 25 May 1537. The will of Stephen's widow Elizabeth, dated 3 May 1538, named only Mary and Anne (Agnes) as children and named ;supervisor "Mr. Walter Strickland", then aged about twenty-two, though not identified as son-in-law. Following his pardon Walter appears to have conformed, and served on juries trying the northern rebels, his late companions. He was, however, never knighted. The marriage to Agnes may have continued during the reign of Queen Mary (whose mother Katherine of Aragon's situation was imperiled as an in-law by her royal husband's self interest). Agnes was "set aside", probably after the accession of Queen Elizabeth in November 1558, presumably with the justification that she had been Walter's sister-in-law. Walter Strickland was married, aged about forty-four years, for the second time with marriage contract dated 20 Jan. 1560/1, in the lifetime of his first wife, to Alice Tempest, widow of Christopher Place, Esq., of Halnaby, co. York, and daughter of Nicholas Tempest, Esq., of Stella, Durham. They had a son and heir. Walter Strickland Esq. died testate on 8 Apr 1569. His will, dated 23 Jan. 1568, bequeathed two hundred pounds to "my daughter Elyn" provided she would not marry "contrary to the wise" of Alice, his wife. In the schedule of lands drawn up by his son Thomas for purposes of livery in 1585 there are items for two surviving wives of Walter Strickland.	STRICKLAND, Walter Esq. (I80893)

Early in life I chose the occupation of a merchant. I left my native State in the spring of 1838 and became a citizen of Illinois; I spent some time in Alton and Springfield, IL, and moved to Quincy, Adams county, IL, in the fall of 1839. Engaging in the mercantile business in partnership with my brother-in-law, Oliver Kimball, I remained there until the fall of 1845, when I moved with my family to the city of Nauvoo, Hancock county, IL. In December, 1842, I visited the Prophet Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, and after listening to his preaching by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, I was converted and asked for baptism the same hour. I was baptized by Elder Orson Hyde, in the Mississippi river, the Prophet Joseph assisting in cutting the ice. I was then confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of day Saints under the hands of Elders Orson Hyde, Joseph Smith and Jedediah M. Grant. I was ordained an Elder by elder Orson Hyde, in March, 1844, and ordained a High Priest and also a Bishop under the hands of Elders Heber C. Kimball, Brigham Young and Parley P. Pratt October 8, 1844. In 1846, when the Church commenced its exodus to the west, I, in connection with Almon W. Babbitt and John S. Fullmer, was chosen one of the trustees of the Church, for the care and disposal of the Church property at Nauvoo. I bore arms in defense of the lives and property of the people of Nauvoo, when attacked by the mob September 12, 1846, at which time Brother William Anderson with his fourteen-year-old son and a Brother Norris were slain. I remained in Nauvoo until the spring of 1848, when I journeyed to Winter Quarters, in time to join the last company of that season's emigration which was presided over by President Willard Richards, with Elder Franklin D. Richards as captain of fifty, and Elder John S. Fullmer as captain of ten. We made a journey from Nauvoo to Great Salt Lake Valley with ox-teams, arriving October 19, 1848. I was appointed (by the government in Washington D. C.) postmaster of Salt Lake City in the spring of 1849, and in the fall of that year I was appointed, in connection with elder Edwin D. Woolley, on a mission to the Eastern States, to purchase merchandise for the Church. I also visited Washington, D. C., and assisted Delegate John M. Bernhisel in obtaining a Territorial government for Utah. In the winter of 1855-56 I was instrumental in getting a petition signed by Colonel Steptoe and his officers, by which Governor Brigham Young was retained in office several years longer. In February, 1849, I was ordained and set apart as the first Bishop of the 17th Eard, Salt Lake City, and filled this postiion for six years. In the spring of 1851 I accompanied President Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball and Apostle Ezra T. Benson on their visiti to Parowan, and was appointed to form a settlement on Salt Creek (now Nephi, Juab country). I assisted the Territorial surveyor, Jesse W. Fox, in laying out the city of Nephi, where I presided for three years. In the spring of 1855 I accompanied Apostle Orson Hyde with a company of elders to form a settlement in Carson valley (Nev.), acting at the same time as a guard for the Hon. George P. Stiles, who was going to Carson valley to hold a session of the District Court. In the spring of 1856, in company with Apostles Orson Pratt and Ezra T. Benson ( who were enroute for a mission to Europe) and George A. Smith, as a delegate from the people of Utah, to petition Congress for a State government, I again crossed the plains, my destination being Washington, D.C., to arrange my business with the government as U.S. Marshall for Utah, which office I then held. I had been appointed to that office by President Millard Fillmore in 1851, and reappointed by President Franklin Pierce in 1855. On my return I spent one week in Independence, MO. Leaving Independence November 7, 1856, I was winterbound at the Devil's Gate, on Sweetwater, and, in connection with about twenty Saints, presided over by Elders Daniel W.

10548	WAUKESHA DAILY FREEMAN Tuesday, October 30, 1923 IN MEMORIAL - ANNA A. SLAWSON Brief notice was given Monday of the death of Miss Anna A. Slawson at the home of her neice, Mrs. E.R. Dickerson, in Hampton, Iowa. her death took place at noon on that day. It becomes a duty at this time to note in fuller detail the passing of a pioneer of Waukesha whose life was one of real service; one worthy to be emulated and honored. Miss Slawson was a native of Orange County, New York, and the date of her birth is given as of February 25, 1843, her parents being Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Slawson, who moved to Waukesha in 1847. the family traveled via the Erie canal and the Great lakes, and even at the tender age of 4 years the journey westward with its new and strange scenes and experiences made a deep impression upon her mind. Of these, she in later years spoke most interestingly. Her school days here evidently were filled with interest and pleasures and made lasting impressions since it is doubtful if in recent years there was any other person who could recall so vividly and entertainingly, the passing events of pioneer days and the incidents related to the pioneer citizens whose comings and goings made up the activities of Waukesha. In relating these she gave much pleasure beside imparting much valuable information to her friends. At the close of her school days here, Miss Slawson visited for a year or more in the home of her sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. S.G. Curtis, in Jamestown, New York, and there she took up the duty of a teacher. Returning to Waukesha subsequently she taught school in Waukesha and in the vicinity for more than a dozen years, thereafter becoming a teacher in Milwaukee. Her services in the schools there covered a periond of forty-four years, after which she retired on pension, following a record as a teacher of fully fifty-eight years. Thousands of pupils during this period received the benefit of her tutelage and it may be said with euqal truthfulness that many of these owed to her a lasting debt of gratitude. Miss Slawson always indicated an intelligent and commendable interest in the affairs of this city and its people and aided in promoting those things that made for the community good. She wrote with much facility and vividness of things historical and has contributed chapters of this nature that add materially to the annals of city and county. She was a lover of books, a wide reader, and wrote both poetry and prose with a facility and elegance that gave pleasure to many. Miss Slawson leaves surviving her two nephews, Frederick Curtis and Charles A. Slawson, and two nieces, Mrs. Nellie Slawson Dickerson, and Miss Bertha Curtis, of California. Three brothers and a sister beside the parents preceded her in death, vix., Mrs. Frances Curtis, Charles, Eugene and Frederick M. Slawson. The remains will be bought to Waukesha Wednesday noon and interment will be at Prairie Home cemetery Thursday. Services will be held at Caspar's funeral home, 204 Main Street, at 3 o'clock p.m. Source given by: Joe Chester	SLAWSON, Anna Augusta (I50905)
