Been 'lurking' for a couple of months, because I lost my dear wife, but hope soon to get the old enthusiasm revived. Reading all your chat has been a great help. When did 'Handcarting' end? As far as I can discover, my earliest immigrant relative was GG-Uncle William BREWER:- Emigrated from Essex, ENG to UT in March 1857 - probably on board the George Washington - with wife, Jane, and church leader James P. Park. William died, childless, 20 Nov 1878 at Henneferville having been joined, I believe, by two teen-aged nephews from Essex during the 1870s. Would William and Jane have been Handcarters? Was William the William BREWER who "....was chosen (with William F. PASKETT) to go to Great Salt Lake to purchase a new organ for the branch......William BREWER was selected as ward organist in 1877" (quotation from D.U.P. Our Valley Home - kindly sent to me by Kathy Willett) Are any of the 2 nephew's descendants still in Hennefer or Morgan or Ogden? I have names and dates for many of their children and some G-children. Have sent details before (and will gladly do so again) but to no avail. Hope you all enjoy your vacations - despite the heat!!!! -- George Brewer Hayling Island Hampshire, UK
