Searching for my 3 Great Grandmother, Amantha Martha JORDAN, sometimes called "Martha" Jordan. b: 29 Sep 1811 thought to be born in Waterbury, "Cheshire" Vermont. In 1810 BUT THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE SO I'M WONDERING IF SHE'S FROM CHESHIRE, CT. I don't have her parents names yet, however, there my be some clues in the names she chose for her children. Their unusual names seem to fit right in with the ones in your tree. Samuel Eber Cornelius Vestifers William Franklin and Joseph Andrew Her daughters are; Amantha Loduska Elizabeth J. Martha Amantha Caroline D.V. and Margaret She married abt 1829, Bethuel Miller b: 1812 in Dalton, NH Place of marriage is unknown. She had a most interesting (and sad) life. Here's what I've found so far. Travelling with her husband, she left Vermont (or CT), in abt 1838, heading for IL with her two young children, Cornelius abt eight, and Amanda Loduska, just an infant, they first went to Nauvoo, IL, and according to the next record I have for them they went on to MaComb, McDonough, IL, where Amantha gave birth to Eber Samuel in 1840 and to daughter Elizabeth in 1846/1847. The birth year for Bethuel Moroni (or Moroni Bethuel), is unknown, but he was with Amantha when she was next uprooted from her home. This time she accompanied her husband by wagon train, walking across the hot, dry plains to Iowa Territory. While at Council Bluffs, Iowa Amantha gave birth to three more children in quick succession; Martha Amantha, (Amantha's namesake) in 1852, (Prior to this time Amantha was called by her middle name of Martha, and after the birth of her namesake she is called Amantha), William F. "Bill" in 1853, and her baby, Joseph Andrew, in 1856. Sometime after Joseph's birth, Amantha was obligated to uproot herself and her children from her home once more, and to accompany her husband to another new and foreign location. This time it appears she had to care for at least six of her children, (based on their ages), as they walked alongside a mule team and wagon, to UT The family arrived in Salt Lake City, UT in the early 1860's and this is where Amantha remained until her death from Lung Fever, in 1866. 3) "Death Records for 1848-1870 Salt Lake City, Utah" # 2853, p 72 Town; Cottonwood / Miller Amantha / Wife of Bethuel Miller / born 29 Sep 1811 Waterbury, Cheshire, VT (Cheshire is the wrong county for Waterbury, VT) died; 04 Nov 1866 of Lung Fever. 4) Proof of birth and death; I received an official Letter (27 Jul 1999), from Salt Lake City Corporation (Cemetery) which states;"Here is the information that you requested concerning the burial of Amantha Miller. Our records indicate that Amantha was born September 29, 1811 in Cheshire, VT, and died 04 Nov 1866 in Salt Lake City, UT. Her location is Plat A - Block 3 - Lot 10 - So 1/2. This is all I have so far....finding her parents is my goal.... Thank you for your help, it's very much appreciated, Sarah
