9659 Solomon Brown was born in Poundridge Westchester, NY in 1846. He died 1821 in Poundridge, Westchester, NY. where he married Sarah Slauson, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Bates) Slason.

He was in the Revolutionary War Westchester County NY Militia, listed in 3rd Regiment. DAR Patriot Index (1966). He served in Crane's Regiment from 1779-1781 with his brothers, Benajah, Eliphalet, Jr. and Timothy Brown, and also his brother-in-law Stephen Slason/Slawson (husband of his sister, Thankful Brown). Jesse Bouton, a neighbor and witness to Solomon's will in 1815, was also in the regiment. Jesse died before the probate in 1821. His children later married Solomon's children. Jesse Bouton was the father-in-law of Isaac Brown who married Rachel Bouton, and the future father-in-law of Solomon Brown's daughter Matilda who married his son Wilson Bouton

The children of Solomon and Sarah (Slawson) Brown were:
1) Samuel Brown born Aug 15, 1773. He married Rheua who was born April 17, 1777.
2) Solomon Brown, Jr. was born about 1774 and in 1834 was made guardian of his sister Matilda Brown's two sons (Westchester Court records)
3) Rhoda Brown* was born April 9, 1775 and married first Lewis Northrup and second Squire Dann.
4) Isaac Brown was born June 5, 1780 and married Rachel Bouton.
5) Elizabeth Brown* was born between 1780-1790.
6) Thankful Brown* was born about 1780-1790.
7) Sarah "Sally" Brown was born about 1795.
8) Matilda Brown was born about 1799 and married Wilson Bouton. In 1834, their two sons Roswell Bouton (age 12) and Wilson Bouton, Jr. (age 10) were made wards of Solomon Brown, Jr., their uncle.
9) Nancy Brown was born about 1800 and probably a spinster since her father's will made provisions for her.
*Rhoda, Elizabeth and Thankful were not named in their father's will, but Solomon does indicate that his "daughters that have been married" were to receive the same $100 from his estate that his other children were to enjoy.

As of yet, his tombstone has not been found, however ''Tombstone records of eighteen cemeteries in Pound Ridge, Westchester County, New York' has the Browns in the "Poundridge Family Burial Plots in Union Cemetery, Erskine Rd, Longridge, Conn."

9660 Solomon Eaton was one of the evolutionary veterans of Tolland. He served during nearly the entire war, and was in many engagements. It is to be regretted that the full service of any of those men can not now be ascertained. At Monmouth, Mr. Eaton was slightly wounded, and in that battle he killed a British grenadier in fair single-handed conflict during a charge with bayonets, a necessity on which, in a conversation with a friend of the writer in his broken old age, his mind seemed to dwell with sadness. Mr. Eaton was in Lafayette's light infantry; in September, 1824, when that distinguished individual had just commenced his celebrated tour through this country, Mr. Eaton had the satisfaction of an interview with his former commander. It was at the brick tavern in the east part of Vernon. The friend before referred to witnessed their parting. As they shook hands, Mr. Eaton said; "I wish you a pleasant journey." "God Bless you," replied the general. Mr. Eaton was esteemed as the best soldier of the veteran company in which he served his longest term, and enjoyed through life a higher soldierly renown than any other of the rank and file furnished by Tolland. His patriotic feelings during life were very exalted. He worshiped his country and its emblems.

Solomon Eaton died in September, 1843, at the age of eighty-five years, being the last survivor but one of the revolutionary soldiers in Tolland. 		EATON, Solomon (I96038)
 
9661 Solomon joined Isaac Backus' Titicut Church with his parents on 6 May 1748, withdrew 23 April 1752, then confessed and renewed 2 September 1752.

Solomon Alden of Middleborough bought land, sawmill, dam, etc., in Ashford, Connecticut, from Jacob Dana of Ashford, yeoman, 12 March 1750. On 18 March 1751, Solomon Alden of Ashford, sold this property to David Alden of Middleborouh, for the same amount, L330, he had paid for it (Ashford LR, H:53, 85). On 28 February 1751 David Alden, of Middleborough, gave to his son solomon 105 acres being his double portion of estate in Titicut and another 37 acres (Plymouth Co LR, 41:197). In his will of 14 May 1763 David Alden of Middleborogh confirmed to Solomon the land he had given him in Bridgewater and he was to share with his siblings in the lot at Ashford (Plymouth Co PR, #77, 16:503-04). On 14 May 1768 Solomon Alden of Bridgewater, husbandman participated in a deed with his siblings to sell the land in Ashford that had been his father's; Solomon's wife Sarah released her dower rights (Ashford LR, 11:11).

Solomon Alden was a signer of the statement of certain Middleborough citizens favoring annexation to Titicut, 11 August 1755; his autograph is on this document (MSA, 13:669).

On 14 May 1768, Solomon Alden, husbandman, of Bridgewater, sold 100 acres and a dwelling on the Mansfield town line in Ashford to Joseph Leonard, Jr. of Bridgewater; also signed by his siblings and their spouses (Ashford LR, 11:11)

He is probably the Solomon Alden, of Bridgewater, who was in the American Revolution as a second lieutenant in Capt. Abraham Washburn's company, Col. Edward Mitchell's regiment. He enlisted on 4 arch 1776 and was discharged on 10 March 177 with service of six days; the company marched o Horse Neck in Braintree. He was also in the 11th company, 3rd Plymouth Co. regiment and was commissioned on 23 March 1776; he was reported resigned (MSSR, 1:111).

In 1790 the household of Solomon Alden of Bridgewater included four males over 16 and three females (M637-4, p71). In 1800 there was only one male and one female, both over 45 (M32-16 p.49). The two Solomon Alden's listed in Bridgewater in 1810 are presumably for this man and his son. His household probably has one male 10-16, one male 16-26, one male over 45; two females 26-45, and one female over 45 (M252-21 p.41).

Solomon Alden of Bridgewater, yeoman, made his will 27 November 1813, proved 7 February 1814, mentioned but did not name his wife; left to each daughter $500; Sarah Shaw wife of Azel, Molly Alden wife of elijah, Bethaniah White wife of Eliphalet, and Hannah Miller wife of Seth, Jr.; and property to his sons Amasa, Solomon, and Noah; Alexander having already received his portion (Plymouth Co PR, #182, 45:231, 232, 47:188).

At the Court of Common Pleas held in Plymouth in August 1817, Elijah Alden of Middleborough, yeoman, and Molly his wife sued Amaza Alden of Bridgewater, yeoman,executor of the estate of Solomon Alden of Bridgewater, yeoman, for two sums of $500 and interest due Molly under Solomon's will dated 27 November 1813. the sums were supposed yo have been paid one year after both Solomon and his wife were dead, with the second sum due only on condition that Elijah pay a note for L222.8s. with interest. Solomon and his wife had been dead more than one year and Elijah had pad the note. The court ruled for the defendant; the plaintiff's appealed, but no further record appears (Plymouth Co Ct Recs CD, vol. 13(26:373-378). 		ALDEN, Solomon (I93550)
 
9662 Some authorities question whether Agatha belongs in this family; Taute' includes Agatha in this family. It may have been Agatha who was betrothed firth to Harold, Earl of Wessex, and then to Alphonso, King of Gallicia. Douglas in "William the Conqueror", pgs. 393-394, discusses the daughters of William the Conqueror and matilda, adding that "Ordericus Vitalis" mentions 5 daughters, one being Agatha, who was betrothed to Harold Godwinson of Wessex and Alphonso of Spain and who died unmarried. While the careers of daughters Cecily, Adela and Constance are well know, less is known concerning the lvies (or even existence) of Agatha, Adeliza, and Matilda. "The separate existence of Agatha and Adeliza is not certain, and the evidence about Matilda is less than sataisfactory." (Douglas, "William the Conqueror, pg 395.) ENGLAND, Agatha Princess Of (I21256)
 
9663 Some gedcoms that were downloaded state Elizabeth Soule as Francis' wife. However, according the the Mayflower Increasing it is her sister Susanna that is the wife of Francis. So I have made adjustments. SOULE, Susannah (I53869)
 
9664 Some historians believe that Gundred to be the daughter of William the Conqueror and his wife Matilda of Flanders, though not certain. Gundred's tomb was discovered at a later time in Isfield Church, Sussex, where it had been moved on the dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530's. Gundred died in childbed. ENGLAND, Gundred Princess Of (I21324)
 
9665 Some research that I have found shows that William Spooner married Alice Warren, daughter of Nathaniel Warren and Sarah Walker. I have not been able to substantiate this. I have Alice Warren married to Thomas Gibbs. If she married William she would have been in her forty's and having 8 more children does not seem correct. Alice already had 8 children with Thomas Gibbs. Until further research is done, I will be leaving the wife of William Spooner as "unknown".

Other research shows that William married Alice Warren, widow of John Blackwell. Again, I'm sure about this, either.........the death dates do not seem to fit. Again, could this Alice have 8 more children in her forties and fifties? 		SPOONER, William (I54212)
 
9666 Some say that Capt. Daniel Eldredge married Mary Philips.
I'm not sure that this is the correct Daniel.

Rhode Island shows that Mary Philips married Daniel Eldred Jan. 10, 1799.

So until I can find further proof that Capt. Daniel Eldredge wife is Mary Philips, I will show is wife as unknown. 		ELDREDGE, Capt Daniel (I20782)
 
9667 Sometimes given as the Mary Paddock who married 24 March 1651 Thomas Roberts of Duxbury, Massachusetts (GDNE 3:328/NYGBR 26:189) but later considered to have been "too young" (though youthful marriages have occurred) and that it was rather her mother who married him as her second husband (HbCb). There appear to be also other factors entailed in this later conclusion. No record of her death or of any children by her have been given by the earlier Paddock compilers. PADDOCK, Mary (I74288)

9671 Son of Caleb Moody and Judith Bradbury

Imprisoned in 1688 for resisting the Dominion of New England in America under Governor Sir Edmund Andros

"During the tyrannical administration of Andros, Mr. Moody was imprisoned five weeks, for daring to speak and act like a freeman; his account of which is graphically given in Coffin's History of Newbury, p. 150. The chief offence seemd to be his having in his possession a paper, the title of which was,
'New England alarmed,
To rise and be armed,
Let not papist you charme,
I mean you no harme,' &c.
The purport of the paper was to give notice to the people of the danger they were in, being under the sad circumstances of an arbitrary government."

9673 Son of EDWARD ROSSITER and his wife ? Comb. Edward, a stockholder in the Dorchester company, died at Dorchester in October 1631. Bray's brothers, Nicholas (and his family) and Hugh, returned to England; sisters Jane and Joan remained in New England and married respectively, Thomas Gilbert and Nicholas Hart.

MILITARY: In April 1640 the Connecticut records show that "Mr Rocester of Wyndsor" was made ensign for the "several bands in the said Townes."

COURT: Bray Rochester served on the jury at the Connecticut court in July 1640 and was frequently a party in court. In 1643 he sued the widow Hutchinson for L2w40. In 1650 he sued Henry Wolcott over a debt for treatment of his son. He lost a suit for defamation against Nicholas Hoit and withdrew one for slander against Peter Tilton that same year. In September 1652 he was in the Guilford Plantation Court stating that he had agreed to arbitration regarding his suit against Edward Sewers for false imprisonment.

OCCUPATION: Physician, surveyor, agitator. He was admitted to the practice of medicine at Windsor after "being first tried and approved by Mr. Hooker, Mr. Stone and old Mr. Smith of Wethersfield." At the time of his removal to Guilford in 1651, he is said by historians to have been the only physician in Connecticut colony, but John Winthrop, Jr., was probably already practicing there, too. In March 1662/3 Rossiter performed the first autopsy known in Connecticut on the body of an eight-year-old girl, Elizabeth Kelly, who hd died in a delirium after accusing a neighbor, Goody Ayres of bewitching her. By the time Rossiter got there, the girl had been dead for five days. he was asked to determine whether she died of natural or preternatural causes. Because he had expected the body to be stiff and it was limber, he reported it as a preternatural sign. Seventeenth century medical knowledge of 'rigor mortis' was limited by today's standeards, and Rossiter was evidently unaware that stiffness abates in about 36 hours. The court allowed Dr. Rosseter "Twenty pounds, in reference to opening Kellies child, and his paynes to visit the Dep: Govern', and his paynes in visiting and administering to Mr. Talcot." 		ROSSITER, Bray/Bryan (I73233)

Note: The date of birth (above) is calculated from the information on his grave stone. (This is the same information that appears on his "death record," which is technically not a death record at all, but a transcription of the gravestone.) However the Spaulding genealogy gives his date of birth as July 16, 1844.

9675 Son of Isaac & Sarah (Callender) London

Truman received a good education. Upon reaching manhood he engaged in lumbering for 7 years on the north branch of the Susquehanna. He sold the lumber at various points along the river, Harrisburg, Columbia, Marietta, Port Deposit. In November of 1837 he and his family along with Parliment Hutchins and his wife Esther who was Sally Maria's sister started for Jefferson Co. After 11 days travel through all kinds of weather they arrived in Brookville on the 18th day of the month having made the entire trip on a two-horse wagon. He was still involved in lumbering. In 1840 he moved to Perry Township on a farm, which he cleared and cultivated. In 1843 he settled in Bell Township. In 1848 he made a permanent home in Winslow Township. He was very active in the development of Jefferson Co. He served one term as auditor for the county. Per Coulter, he was the lumber and coal man of the tribe, having engaged in these businesses near Rathmel & having become quite wealthy therein. The London Mines of that section are still famous throughout the region. He lived retired for some time before his death, which occurred April 11, 1891 on his farm in Winslow Township. He and some members of his family are shown in the 1860 Jefferson Co., PA census.

He also told of overnight trips to Newark by oxen and wagon haulling charcoal and of the first hard road he saw, formerly Hamburg Ave., now known as West Broadway.



The Blizzard of 1888, when he had t tunnel to the barns to care for the cattle, the old Hook Hook Rd. and Millers Falls which were popular picnic grounds before the construction of the Wanaque Reservoir, were all part of his reflections spun for family and friends.

9685 Son of Samuel & Elizabeth Eddy; husband of Elizabeth (Bullock) Eddy. Died at age 69 years. The Eddy Family in America states, "Caleb Eddy, the third son of Samuel of Plymouth, settled farther to the west in Swansea, near the Kickemuit river and he is buried in the cemetery on its west bank, in the town of Warren (formerly this spot was in Swansea). This cemetery is about half a mile north of the Kickemuit Water Works. Not far from the center of the plot is an evergreen tree (a cedar, if I recall correctly) and near this is the grave of Caleb Eddy with the inscription, 'Here lyeth the Body of Caleb Eddy aged 69 years Deceased March 23 in the year of our Lord 1713.' ....There are many stones without any inscriptions. Probably one of these belongs to Elizabeth Bullock, Caleb's wife, and others to his son Zachariah and his son Samuel, who married Sarah Estabrooks. Three of his daughters married into the Cole Family. At least two of these are buried here. Caleb's other two sons went to Boston, where they died."

Caleb Eddy was buried in the old Kickimuit cemetery, now in the bounds of Warren, Rhode Island. His stone shows that he died in march 1713 at the age of 69 years. His will mentions wife Elizabeth, elder son Caleb; son Samuel who was to have full care of his mother; son Benjamin; daughters Elizabeth, Hannah and Hopestill, who are married; and daughter Mary, who is not yet of age or married. 		EDDY, Caleb (I77059)

9688 Son of Thomas Dickinson and Anne (Farrington) Dickinson of Chester, Cheshire Co, England.

NOTE: The parents of Charles Dickinson were unknown until recent (2017) research (see below) uncovered his English ancestry. His parents were not John Dickinson and Elizabeth Howland, daughter of John Howland of the Mayflower, as is posted on many trees and is noted in the Updike book (see below) and in "The Greenes of Rhode Island with Historical Records of English Ancestry"...by Louise Brownell Clarke, 1903. There has been a significant amount of research regarding the descendants of the Mayflower passengers, and no one has found any proof that John Dickinson and Elizabeth Howland had a son named Charles.

Charles married, first, on Dec 9,1681 at St John the Baptist Church in Chester, England, Rebecca Meacocke. She was baptized at St Michael's Church in Chester on Dec 17,1661, a daughter of Richard Meacocke and Deborah (Wilson) Meacocke. Charles and Rebecca had two children, Charles (bp 1682 at St John the Baptist in Chester) and Margaret (bp 1684 in Dublin, Ireland).

Charles Dickinson married, secondly, in Connecticut, Esther Gilbert. She was born at Hartford,CT on Apr 27,1662, a daughter of Jonathan Gilbert and Mary (Welles) Gilbert. Charles and Esther had a son Thomas, who was baptized in Hartford First Church on 12 Dec 1687/8.

Charles married, third, Phillip Greene, daughter of John Greene Jr. and Ann Almy, about 1690. They had four children born between 1692 and 1698: Charles Jr. who married Mary Winterton, Richard who married Mary Goldsmith, Capt. John who married Mary Phillips in 1718, and Jonathan who married Mary Cole.

He married, fourth, Sarah. Her maiden name is unknown. Sarah was the mother of three children born after 1704: Samuel who married Mary (Cole) Dickinson after his half-brother Jonathan died, Philippa who married John Case , and Christopher who married Ann Coggeshall.

From "A History of the Episcopal Church in Narrangansett, Rhode Island...," by Wilkins Updike, 1907 edition, volume 2, page 524:

"Docter MacSparran administered ye Eucharist to Mr Charles Dickinson on his Death Bed September 12th 1740. he died at 2 of the Clock in the morning of Sunday the 14th and on ye 15th was buried in ye Cch-yard of St Pauls Cch in Narranganset, a Sermon on ye occasion being then preached by ye said Docter MacSparran."

OBITUARY: Boston Post-Boy, 22 Sep 1740:

"We are also informed, that Mr. Charles Dickinson of South Kingston departed this Life on Saturday last, aged 82, and was decently interr'd on Monday last; he was a Gentleman of a good Conversation, and unblameable Character, and is much lamented by all his Acquaintance; he has left behind him a sorrowful Widow, five Sons and two Daughters."

For further information about Charles Dickinson read "Who was Charles Dickinson?" by Ralph D. Phillips, The American Genealogist, 42:188-190, and "Dickinson Problems: The Oyster Bay and Narragansett Families" by Donald Lines Jacobus, The American Genealogist, 21:256-259. Both articles can be found on the NEHGS website AmericanAncestors.org. More recently, in 2017, an article was published in Volume 89 of The American Genealogist that provides evidence of his English ancestry (TAG 89:137ff).

Farr, Lorin, first president of the Weber Stake of Zion, is the son of Winslow Farr and Olive Hovey Freeman, and was born July 27, 1820, in the town of Waterford, Caledonia county, Vermont.

When he was eight years old, his parents moved north into the town of Charleston, Orleans county, Vermont where his father bought a farm. In the spring of 1832, when Lorin was eleven years of age, the family, for the first time, heard the gospel preached by Orson Pratt and Lyman E. Johnson. Although but eleven years of age Lorin's mind was prepared to receive the testimony of these servants of God, so he was baptized by Lyman E. Johnson, in Clide river, near his father's house, and confirmed by Orson Pratt.

In the fall of 1837, Father Farr, who with his family had joined the Church, sold his farm and moved to Kirtland, Ohio. In the spring of 1838, Lorin started for Far West, Mo., where he arrived May 1st, and made his home with the Prophet Joseph Smith. He passed through most of the persecutions heaped upon the Saints in Missouri, and when they were driven from the State, he went to Quincy, and in the spring of 1840 settled in Nauvoo, Ill.

In the spring of 1843 he was called upon a mission, by the Prophet Joseph, to the Middle and Eastern States, with the instruction to go wherever the spirit led him He was performing this duty when the sad news of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and Patriarch Hyrum reached him. Elder Farr remained in the field, comforting and strengthening the Saints, until late in November, 1844, when he returned to Nauvoo.

Jan. 1, 1845, he was married to Miss Nancy B. Chase, by Pres. Brigham Young. Elder Farr was with the Saints during all their troubles in Nauvoo and assisted in building the Temple. In the spring of 1847, he prepared to go to Great Salt Lake valley, where he arrived Sept. 20th of that year.

He lived in Salt Lake City till the spring of 1850, when he was called by Pres. Brigham Young to go to Ogden to preside over the Saints in the northern part of the Territory. The following year (1851), when the Weber Stake of Zion was organized, Elder Farr was called and set apart as the president of the Stake. This position he held until 1870, when he was called on a mission to Europe, where he remained until 1871.

Elder Farr has served as mayor of Ogden city for many terms; he also represented Weber county in the Territorial legislature from the organization of the Territory until he was disfranchised, excepting one year while on his mission to Europe. He is a public spirited man and has done much for the advancement of the kingdom of God and the commonwealth. (See also Tullidge's History, Vol. 2, Bio. 172.)

9696 Son of Zerrubbabel Snow and Mary Trowbridge

Married Lucina Streeter, 29 Nov 1801, Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire

Children - Shipley Wilson Snow, Zerrubbabel Snow, Levi Mason Snow, Mary Minerva (Millie) Snow, Charles Van Ranssalaen Snow, Melissa Diantha Snow, Lucina Snow, Willard Trowbridge Snow, Erastus Fairbanks Snow, Lydia Morrison Snow, William Snow

Levi Snow compiled by Donna Hansen Woodward

Levi Snow was born July 22, 1782 in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. He was born to Captain Zerubbabel Snow who was born August 12, 1741 in Rutland, Massachusetts, and Mary Trowbridge who was born February 25, 1745 in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Levi was the eighth child of Zerubbabel and Mary Trowbridge Snow. Their were ten children in the family. Levi had six sisters and three brothers.

Levi's parents lived on the boundary line of the two states. The Connecticut river became the dividing line between the two new states in the Union Levi's parents lived in Chesterfield, New Hampshire all of his growing up years.

Levi met Lucina Streeter, his future wife, through Jemina Streeter, an aunt of Lucina. When introducing Lucina to Levi's mother, Jemina said, "Mary, this is a daughter of my husband's brother, William Streeter. I told her about the many books you buy for your son Levi and nothing would do but she must come to see what you have that she hasn't read." "Levi was known as the boy who would rather read than dance." Lucina stayed with her aunt Jemina so that she could attend the Academy in Chesterfield one winter so that she could have extra lessons in French. It was during this time that Levi and Lucina became real friends because of their love for reading.

After accompanying Lucina home to Cumberland, Rhode Island on a months visit, Levi said to Lucina, "Oh, Lucina dearest, we grow so slowly, that years drag wearily by. You know that I love you without my speaking the words, that you are as much a part of me and I of you as if made from the same clay. So you are young and I am young, but we both know how to work, and God will help us. Would you dare marry me now and not wait any longer?"

Levi married Lucina Streeter on November 29, 1801 in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. They lived in Levi's mother's home until after their first child was born, where Levi helped his brothers in the sawmill and grist mill. After Levi and Lucina had their first child, they moved first to Lunenburg but after one years lease they decided to clear some virgin land and so they settled in the St. Johnsbury, Vermont area with approximately twelve other families and here they had their remaining children while they lived there. Levi and his older sons farmed their not over fertile acres and managed a respectable, but frugal living. Levi and his sons also built their own furniture and the home they lived in.

Levi and Lucina had eleven children. They were: Levi Mason who was born in 1803; Lucina who was born in August 1804; William who was born December 14, 1806; Zerubbabel who was born in March 1809; Willard Trowbridge who was born November 6, 1811; Mary Melvina who was born July 30, 1813; Shipley Wilson who was born in 1816; Erastus Fairbanks who was born November 9, 1818; Charles Van Rensselaer who was born in August 1821; Lydia Mason who was born in 1823; and Mellisa who was born August 20, 1826.

In 1826 Levi and his sons finished a new barn for their farm. While Lucina and the girls where helping clean up the newly completed barn, Lucina laughingly remarked, I think, girls we should move into the new barn and let the cows and horses live in the old house." A few weeks later the Snow home burn to the ground. With the help of their neighbors most of their furniture and books for their children were saved and the new barn became their home for the rest of that summer until they were able to finish a new home late that fall.

Levi was a devoted and God fearing Christian although he never belonged to any organized religious group. He did however, study the scriptures intently and encouraged this amongst his family members. The Snow family was known as "Seekers" or those who were seeking after God's truths.

In 1832, while Levi's sons, Zerubbabel and William were working in Charlestown and living with their cousin, Winslow Farr they were blessed to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ from Elder Lyman Johnson and Orson Pratt. After hearing the Elder's message they returned home very excited to tell the rest of the Snow family. It was not long before Orson Pratt came to St. Johnsbury and taught the many interested families in the area in the Snow's new barn. Levi's son Erastus was 15 years old at the time and on the evening of the first meeting he asked his father, Levi if he could be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ. Levi's reply was, "Wait awhile son. Study your Bible still more. Be sure you have been converted by the Lord and not by Elder Pratt's persuasion. Wait al least six months. Can you do that? You will have six months for your ardor to cool. If you are really converted, it won't be hard to wait that long." Erastus was baptized February 3, 1832, approximately six months later. Early in May of the same year, 1832 all the rest of the Snow family was baptized, all but Levi and his son Shipley.

Some years later, Levi and the remaining children that were at home, sold their farm in Vermont and went to Kirtland to be with the saints. Levi knew that there would be no happiness for Lucina until she too could make her home among the saints. The Snow family only stayed in Kirtland for a week or so and then moved on to Far West, Missouri in order to help build the capitol of Zion. Besides they thought it would be foolish to buy land in Kirtland and then have to move again soon. Levi and Lucina suffered the persecutions that the saints endured in Far West and were included in the expulsion of the saints from Missouri. At the time the mobs came to Far West to evict the saints, Levi's son, Erastus was home visiting his family and both Levi and Erastus had the "shakers" as Levi called the chills and fever of malaria. While in this terrible condition, Levi's son, Charles came home shouting, "Oh, father, the mobocrats are camped on our pasture! I think they have butchered our cows for I couldn't see anything of them and I surely could smell meat sizzling in their camp vessels." Levi and Erastus rose from their sick beds and ran to their place with the Mormon militia. Levi's son, Erastus testified that as he ran, he prayed to be healed and his prayers were immediately answered. The chills and fever instantly left him." Levi not being a Mormon had not given up his arms to the mobs, so as he ran with his son to join the Mormon militia he being too weak to fight, handed his gun to Erastus and he grabbed a pitchfork. The mob scattered this time but Levi and his family stayed up all night to guard their place not knowing what was ahead of them. It was not long after this that the saints were forced to leave Far West. The family left Far West without selling their home which was true in most cases for the escaping saints. They were however able to sell just enough furniture to buy a team and wagon to get them across Missouri and were glad to get away with their lives.

Levi took his family to Quincy, Illinois where they found safety. They arrived in Quincy having traveled 200 miles in about twelve days. Levi fought the chills and fever of malaria all across the state of Missouri which made the trip quite miserable. On arriving at Quincy, the Snow family moved on to Lima where they set up residence in a fairly comfortable house on a farm that they bargained for. Some time after this, Levi began to build a new home for Lucina. Levi had about two years to enjoy Lucina after leaving Missouri, without all the persecutions they had endured in Missouri before he passed away. Levi died on November 2, 1841 in Montrose, Lee County, Iowa. Montrose is just across the river from Nauvoo and many of the saints were in the Montrose area. Levi was 59 years old when he passed away. It was recorded through family information that he died of malaria.

It was said of Levi, by his son Erastus, "Father was such a wonderful father, honest and true. He was the personification of kindness. He was way ahead of his time in his thinking."

It is not known why Levi never joined the church, but what a tribute of love he has shown to Lucina, to have endured so much persecution while they lived among the saints.

GEORGE DAVENPORT DIES, WITH SLIGHT WARNING.
FAMILY AND FRIENDS SHOCKED

Was Apparently Quite Well Yesterday With But Two Light Attacks ?
In the Evening He Was no More-History of Life and Family of the Deceased.

From Tuesday's Daily

People of Norfolk were greatly startled last evening to learn of the sudden death of George Davenport, sr, which occurred at his home on North Ninth street about 8 o'clock of neuralgia of the heart. The surprise and shock wore keener because of the fact that he had been about town during the day and none realized that he was so close to death's door. The blow to his family by whom he was deeply loved must have been keen indeed.
While Mr. Davenport was around town nearly all day and suffered two mild attacks of heart trouble one in the morning and another after dinner nothing serious was apprehended until about 6 o'clock when while in the furniture store of W R Hoffman, he was stricken with a severe pain in the heart and it was found necessary to take him home in a hack.
Dr Bear was summoned at once and administered the most effective medicine he had with him, got him to bed and made him as comfortable as possible and then went down town to secure a more potent remedy, but while he was absent Mr. Davenport passed away, but a few members of his immediate family being present owing to the suddenness of the attack. He retained consciousness to the last and up to within a few moments of the end no one present apprehended that he was on his death bed. Mr. Davenport was highly respected as a citizen during his long residence in Norfolk having made few if any enemies while his friends and admirers were numbered by the score including the young as well as the old.
To these old friends and neighbors his death is received with scarcely less sorrow than that of the immediate family to whom he was a kind and loving father and husband with their welfare ever in view and their interests always at heart.
