I found this on microfilm # 1402726 - Millennial Star (vol. 12 page 14) Its a letter to Brother Pratt from Thomas Mc Kenzie regarding the voyage of the ship Berlin , with a list of those who died during the voyage. I hope someone might find this list helpful. Pat Holling New Orleans, November 8th, 1849 Brother Pratt, -- Dear Sir, In a former letter I sent you the number that died on the ship Berlin, and I would have given you the particulars then, but I had not received them. As there were some Saints died who had no relations on board, I wanted to ascertain what disposal had been made of their property, so that their friends could have it. I have called on those that had their property, and they have placed it at my disposal; I therefore send you their names, and await your counsel how to dispose of it. William Fielder, died September 25th, aged 21; from Sheerness. Charles Timmings, died September 26, aged 22; from West Broomwich. John Buckley, died September 20th, aged 28; from Derbyshire. The above three are all of whose property I can ascertain anything about. I would here observe that a great quanity of their goods were thrown overboard. The following are the names of the rest of the Saints that died and their children: Ellen Stoddart, died September 13th, aged 27. Eliza Hopkins, died September 16th, aged 23, and two children. William Smith, died Se4ptember 17th, aged 50, from Derby. William Brindley, died September 18th, aged 40, from London. Patience Smith, died September 18th, aged 2 years. John Mason, died September 22nd, aged 63, from Staffordshire. William Harrison Birch, died September 22nd, aged 2 years. Agnes Smith, died September 23rd, aged 10 months. Martha Stoddart, died September 23rd, aged 9 months. Mary Anne Wilson, died September 23rd, aged 18 months. Ellen Fife, died September 24th, aged 5 years. William Farnsworth, died September 24th , aged 18 months. Thomas Warbuton, died September 25th, aged 53, from Crewe. John Fletcher, died September 26th, aged 26, from Chesterfield. Sarah Anne West. died September 27th, aged 2 years. Ann Farnsworth, died September 27th, aged 42, from Leeds. James Dawson, died September 29th, aged 28, from Oldham. James Corr, died September 30th, aged 9 months. F. J. Bradshaw, died October 4th, aged 6 years. Mary Bradshaw, died October 5th, aged 8 years. Ann Whale, died October 6th, aged 12 months. Agnes Bradshaw, aged 5 years. Richard Lester, died September 28th, aged 25, from Leister. Total 28. The Saints in New Orleans have been organized, and we have formed a branch here for the winter. We have good meetings and have baptized several, and many are enquiring into our belief. The Saints generally who have remained in New Orleans, have procured work. Praying God to bless you, I remain your, respectfully, Thomas Mc Kenzie

It isn't only helpful spirits and information on dead people that can be found in a cemetery. While on the way from St. George to Manti we stopped at several small towns along hwy 89 to check cemeteries to take pictures of head stones. This was my first time actually doing "field" research, as it were. In one of the towns, my husband was walking along one row and I was walking along another. We had gotten rather far apart when I found a headstone with the name "Colby" on it! I was so excited I jumped up an down as I called to him, waving my arms, etc. I must have looked a complete fool! Then I noticed two women walking toward me. My first thought was that they were about to call the police and have me arrested. So when they got up close, I explained that I was from out of town and had found a relation. They asked which one. When I pointed to the stone, the younger one said, "Oh, that is my great-grandmother." She then proceeded to point out each of the other stones around and give me the history and connections of each. She and her friend were there to visit the grave of her brother who had been killed in a car wreck. Even though her great-grandmother had been an actual pioneer, she and her all her family had drifted away from the church. It seemed to me so very sad. But I was grateful for the assistance she provided. And, I'm sure, all those whose names I turned in for temple work were grateful, too. I just hope that she might find her way back, someday. You never know what you might find, with a quick trip to a cemetery! Alice Colby Volkert

Robert: I owe you an apology. Hannah Speakman and Paul Gourley are on the roster for the Martin (5th) HC company, not the Evans (6th) as I wrote you yesterday. I had searched on the ancestry.com web site. Unfortunately, the page/title headings didn't line up, and the list I looked at was actually the 5th, not the 6th. The definite HC company lists are in "Handcarts to Zion" by Leroy & Ann Hafen (1960; Bison Books paperback, 1992; this book is sold at the Museum of Art & Church History in SLC). Their lists are from the Journal History, which were taken from Deseret News articles and other reputable sources. These lists should be considered a starting point (i.e., everyone on list is valid, but some may be missing). The lists on the ancestry.com web site are from one of Kate Carter's books in the Daughters of the Pioneers series. Many of the people on this list, but not on the Hafen's, are valid HC pioneers, but many are not. My gggrandparents, Isaac C. Morris and Sarah E. Henderson are listed with the 9th HC in the DUP list, but actually crossed the plains in 1853 and 1852, respectively. Their son, Conway Morris, married Margaret Robison, daughter of 9th HC captain, Daniel Robison. I have found many other errors in the DUP list for the 9th co. Lyndia Carter (Mrs. Robert) of Springville, Utah has been researching the Willie and Martin handcart companies for several years, and is writing a book. I've had several discussions with her over resources, and we shared the podium at a symposium on the pioneers at BYU last September. She has done extensive research on the people in these two companies, including what happened to them after they finally arrived in the valley. I hesitate to put her address or phone no. here out of respect for her privacy. If anyone wants information on the Willie & Martin companies, I suggest they send her a letter c/o Melvin Bashore at the Historical Dept., The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 50 East North Temple St., Salt Lake City UT 84150. Mrs. Carter comes into the archives/library several times a month, and I'm sure Mr. Bashore will get letters to her, as he passed on my name to her several years ago when I was just starting my research on the 9th HC company. There is also a small book in print called on the rescue of the Willie & Martin HC companies by Rebecca Bartholomew, Leonard Arrington, and R. Cornwall (The Rescue of the 1856 Hancart Companies, reprinted 1993). This is available from amazon.com for $5.56. Deseretbook.com also has one book on the 1856 rescue and another on the "second rescue"--the efforts by Riverton WY LDS members to identify and complete the temple work for the members of these companies. There may be more information about Hannah Speakman in the book on the second rescue.

I found the Paul Gourley family and Hannah Speakman on the roster for the Evans HC Co. in 1857, not the Willie Co. (Our Pioneer Heritage). ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: [HANDCART-L] HANNAH SPEAKMAN Author: Robert Speakman <rlsdoc@pol.net> Date: 7/13/98 2:12 PM Some time ago you all gave me some good advice in researching Hannah Speakman, who traveled with the Paul Gourley family in the Martin Handcart company in 1856. I've found what information I believe exists up to their arrival in Salt Lake, however, she seems to have disappeared after that--she did not live with the Gourley family, and so far I can't determine where she went. Any suggestions? Thanks, Robert

Was Speakman her maiden name? Try searching the International Genealogical Index (IGI) at your local Family History Center. Look for a marriage record 1856 or later. Many of the single women married soon after arrival in the valley. Almost everyone was married in the Endowment House. All the EH marriages have been entered into the IGI. I found a number of single women and widows from the 9th HC company by checking EH marriages. As many couples married elsewhere were sealed in the EH, this sealing record shows up as a EH marriage; one way to find the wife's maiden name. ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: [HANDCART-L] HANNAH SPEAKMAN Author: Robert Speakman <rlsdoc@pol.net> Date: 7/13/98 2:12 PM Some time ago you all gave me some good advice in researching Hannah Speakman, who traveled with the Paul Gourley family in the Martin Handcart company in 1856.

Robert, Refer to the LDS Research Outline produced by thew FHL and available thru the Distribution Center for 50 cents or at any FHC. 1) LDS Early Church Information Card File 2) Journal History of the Church [on film] 3) 1860 Census 4) IGI/ TIB files for possible marriage info. Number 1 and 2, if she shows up, will refer you to many other sources of interest.

Have you tried Ancestral File at your local Family History Center? I'd be surprised if there wasn't a pedigree file for the Willie family in that data base. If you don't know where to find a FHC, go to the LDS home page (www.lds.org) and look under family history for a page listing FHCs. Here's a bio from LDS Biographical Encyclopedia, vol. 2. Doesn't give much on his family, but he did seem to leave a lot of descendants, so AF should have it. I found information on about 2/3 of the 9th HC Co. members in AF. Willie, James Grey, the second Bishop of the Seventh Ward, Salt Lake City, Utah, was born Nov. 1, 1814, in Taunton, Somersetshire, England, the son of William and Mary Willie. He emigrated to the United States when about twenty-two years of age and joined the Church in February, 1842; he came to G. S. L. Valley in the fall of 1847, crossing the plains in Capt. J. B. Noble's Fifty of Jedediah M. Grant's Hundred. In 1852�56 he filled a mission to Great Britain, and on returning home in 1856 he was captain of one of the belated handcart companies which suffered so much that year in crossing the mountains in the snow. Many of the emigrants lost their lives on that memorable journey, exposed to hunger and cold. Soon after his return from his mission Bro. Willie was called to succeed William G. Perkins as Bishop of the Seventh Ward, Salt Lake City, which position he held until the spring of 1859, when he moved to Cache Valley, making his residence at Mendon. Here he resided until the time of his death, which occurred Sept. 9, 1895. Bro. Willie held many important positions, both civil and ecclesiastical, which he filled with honor. At his death he left a wife, three daughters and two sons and upwards of thirty grandchildren. He died as he had lived, a faithful Latter-day Saint, and held the office of a Patriarch when he passed to the great beyond. ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: [HANDCART-L] J.G.WILLIE Author: DBR <danryn@bigplanet.com> Date: 7/12/98 9:35 PM Can someone tell me where I may find information on James G.

Peggy, you shouldn't be surprised at your experience. More than once, as I was about to leave a cemetery after walking up and down the rows in frustration, I came upon the grave I was looking for, or others I didn't know were there. Often, these last minute finds came after fervent prayer. I really do believe the spirits reach out to us. I know this sounds weird when explaining it to non-believers, but as an LDS member, I really do believe that we will get help "from beyond the veil" to locate information on our deceased loved ones.

Peggy I did that same ting a couple of weeks ago and but in Sanpete co. I found an old pioneer cemetery that is no longer in use in Ephriam and found my family in there instead of the new one. Found most of the family in all the cemeteries in that county and what an experince it is. It kind of gives you a connection that you didnt have before. You knew you were related to them but now you see them and can feel that connection any way i did. i felt i had family that i didnt know before. In Fairview i found a distant cousin and she run the Museum down there and she had the family history on one of my lines. You never know what your gona find when you go places to find your family. Ihope that things go well with your family and that everything turns out okay. Good luck! Jackie Carter shippey1@juno.com wrote: > Just got back from my "Vacation".

Just got back from my "Vacation". My daughter, two grandson's and I went to Las Vegas. My niece was just diagnosed with advanced cancer. We wanted to be with her for the tests and possible surgery. She is doing great, thank's to many prayers and fasting. On the way we stopped for gas in Parawan. I knew I had Pioneer ancestor's from this town. It was terribly hot and the babies were miserable. We made a quick run to the cemetery. We went up one road and looped around, to leave. Too hot and no time to "walk" the cemetery, but wanted to at least see where they were buried. We looked out the car window and spotted a Pioneer Plack on a headstone. You know it, it was the very one I was looking for! With in a few minutes, we located every grave we wanted to see and took pictures of all the headstones. What a wonderful experience. My daughter, who does not work on Genealogy was amazed. Turned out to be a great trip. Peggy _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Thought I might see if anyone else out there was searching for the following Utah pioneers: Henry Case RUPLE (1846-1874) died in Evanston, Uintah, Utah Adam COON (1808-1890)Moved back to Iowa after wifes death Dianna LEWIS COON (1833-1865)converted in NY with parents, lived in Nauvoo,not sure how/when came to SLC. Died in Lehi, Utah. Mehetible COON RUPLE (1860-1958) B. in Lehi, died in Vernal, Utah Lemuel LEWIS (1810-1857?) See above. Philip NELL (1836-1896) German immigrant, Civil War soldier, Utah pioneer. Died in Riverton, Utah. Clara Rozilla NOKES NELL (1848-1938) Died in Riverton, Utah Several months ago Terri gave me some great info on the conversion of Lemuel LEWIS and his wife and daughter. Since then I have been "lurking on the list" hoping to see someone else researching "my" names. But--I haven't. So with Terri's request to 'speak-up', I am hoping that someone out there may be researching this family as well--I am particularly interested in when and how they arrived in UTAH. Thanks for any help. Jackie MOORE Carter
