Russell Family Data - Name Index, XI

_{Notes: Spouse of Marietta NORTON, father of Nancy Ette SOUTHWICK (ref. Va., pg. 1). His parents were converted to the LDS religion in England. At the age of eight, his parents had saved up enough money to make the journey to join the Mormons on their way to Utah. After the boat ride from England to America, they made their way to Utah via Captain Hyde's Company. Tragedy bloomed, however, when his mother became increasingly ill over the hard journey by wagon and she died one morning, to be buried on the Little Platte River in Wyoming. The family arrived in Salt Lake, Utah, in the fall of 1862. After marriage to Marietta, James and she lived in Lehi, Utah, for about fourteen years. In the fall of 1888, they migrated from Utah to Idaho. They had lost three babies at birth and one at eighteen months of age. They brought to Idaho a team, wagon and two cows. One of the cows got in the mud and was so weakened by its struggles and the journey that they had to continue without it, leaving it where it couldn't move. They settled down in an old log cabin on the Earl Crook Farm, homesteading eighty acres across from the Rick's Farm in Ammon. The first winter on the homestead, James built the one-room log house. It did not have any floor in the cabin, but Marietta took gunny sacks and carpeted the part where the beds were, holding the sacks down with nails pushed into the very dirt. James helped build the schoolhouse in the area and was one of the first trustees for the school. He and Marietta had thirteen children and he lived to the age of 84.}

_{Notes: Spouse of Verona Amelia NOAKES. Israel Eastham CLEGG was born in Liverpool, England, March 30, 1849. He was the second son of Henry CLEGG, who was born June 7, 1825 at Bamberbridge near Preston, Lancashire, England. His father was the youngest of a family of eight children born to Henry and Ellen Cardwell Clegg and whom were highly respected people of the middle class. Israel�s father (Henry Clegg) had a good education and followed the shoe making trade as did his father. At the age of eighteen, Henry married Hannah EASTHAM of Preston, Lancashire England in 1844. Hannah was born in August, 1821 to Thomas and Elizabeth Eastham. Her family disowned her when she joined the church. Henry's family moved to Liverpool when their first child, Thomas was born on Christmas day 1844. Israel Eastham was born March 30, 1849 and Henry James was born February 22, 1852. When Thomas was nine years old he was accidentally burned to death bringing great sorrow to his parents. After years of work and planning they saved enough money to start on the long trip to Zion. They left friends and loved ones never to see them again (with the exception of his Father�s brother Johnathan who came to Utah a year later in 1856). There they prepared to make the long journey across the plains to their haven of rest among the Saints where they could enjoy their new religion. Israel�s mother (Hannah) did not make it to Zion. She was taken ill with Cholera while camped there and died, May 28, 1855 and was buried there the next day. In his younger life he suffered many hardships as did most of our pioneers. He never knew what it was to have a full stomach. His father had a large family as he married two wives after coming to Utah. The smaller children had to be fed first and if there was enough to go around he had his share. He watched his stepmother fry griddle cakes in a pan dusted with flour as there was no shortening to be had. The worked hard to help his father in a shoe shop to support his family. As the family grew, the majority being boys, he felt it necessary to move his family to a homestead in Heber Valley, in 1872. Israel remained in Springville and married his childhood sweetheart, who lived across the road for so many years. She was Verona Amelia Noakes. They were married February 1, 1873, at home and later in the endowment house in Salt Lake City on October 9, 1876. Israel helped organize the Shepherd-Clegg Orchestra and played for dances in local and surrounding communities. In these dances they would clear everything from their large front room and play for a dance, taking all kinds of produce such as squash, flour, vegetables, dried fruits, etc., in exchange for a dance ticket. Israel also worked on the railroad. Israel was was an Indian War Veteran - a drummer boy in the Whitmore Company, to be exact. He was a successful chairman of Springville, councilman, and he took up farming and was a successful farmer and livestock raiser for the remainder of this life. He died March 29, 1923 just a few hours before his 74th birthday and was surrounded by his loving wife and children in the home where he lived to see his Golden Wedding Anniversary, less than two months before. He was buried in the Springville City Cemetery Easter Sunday, April 1, 1923.}

XIX. Horace Strong RAWSON [Parents]

b. 15 Jul 1799

Otsego County, NY

d. 10 Oct 1882

Ogden, Weber, UT

m. 9 Oct 1825

Winchester, Randolph, Indiana

son of Daniel RAWSON and Polly STRONG.

children: William Coffin, Mary Ann Olive, Horace Franklin, Sarah Urinda, Caleb Lindsey, Sariah (twin), Oriah (twin of Sariah), Samantha Priscilla, Cyrus, Arthur Morrison (ref. X., pg. 1), Cloe Ann, Elizabeth and Daniel Berry .

_{Notes: According to the family ledger, Horace's father (Daniel) was a Baptist preacher. Horace's parents died within a year of eachother (Daniel in Sep 1824 and Polly in May 1825), leaving Horace as caretaker for his siblings afterward. He and his wife Elizabeth COFFIN were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1831 and in 1832, they moved to Jackson County, Missouri, having been informed that it was Zion. As is recorded in history, however, the location of Zion and travels therein were wraught with danger in the form of mob attacks. It was not uncommon at that time to hear of Mormon followers being whipped, tarred and feathered, having their houses torn down in the middle of the night, shot, etc. They were kicked out of Lafayette County and migrated to Clay County, where Horace claims in a journal excerpt of his writings that a mob bent on destroying Joseph Smith and his followers were stopped by divine intervention ala scarily huge hale. "...and the Lord interposed by sending his artillery from heaven in form of an awful hail storm, shivering some of their gun stocks to pieces, cutting through their caps into their skull. Deflected in their purpose they gladly left the field, carrying off their wounded." After that, they moved again to Caldwell County, where a Mr. Boggs (whom, by the way, Horace really hated and refers to him as a right hand man of Satan himself) issued an extermination order on Joseph Smith and all Mormons there. They fled again, driven to Nauvoo in the fall of 1845 after having their houses burned by Illinois mobs. In the spring of 1846, they left the state altogether and lived in the wilderness - seeking a home among "the red men of the desert" (Horace's words, not mine). It wasn't until 1850 that they migrated to the "Valley of the Mountains" aka Ogden City, Utah.}

James was a first lieutenant of the mormon battalion sent by request of Uncle Sam and at the behest of Joseph Smith to help fight the war efforts in and around Mexico, 1846. Here's an interesting excerpt regarding war from James' journal in the family book: "While traveling down the San Pedro River, we encountered a herd of wild cattle. The cattle were resting in tall grass along the river and were surprised by the advancing Battalion, the result, an open battle in which several mules were killed in the teams, five or six men were wounded by being gored and tossed up into the air fifteen or twenty feet, some hurt seriously and an innumerable number of wild cattle left dead on the ground. After the smoke had cleared away and the wounded cared for, camp was set up. A fresh lot of meat was added to our supplies. This was the famous 'bull fight of the San Pedro' and proved to be the only battle the Battalion engaged in during their term of enlistment."}
