Hi All: Can't find the name of who wrote to the list re: MORMONS. Can only find the following Morman info: "The Middletons (Reuben Middleton) and BUTLER families had settled near Far West and were expelled in the winter of 1838/39. they then went back to Wash. Co. They later moved up to Nauvoo IL in the spring of 1840 (he is not in 1840 Wash. Co. census), where they followed farming until the spring of 1846, when they were again driven out west and remained at or near Council Bluffs untill the spring of 1850. They then crossed the plains and arrived at Salt Lake 22 Sept. 1850" Another quote is in there by his grandson Chas. F. b. 24 Feb. 1834 Owkawville: " My father (William) was b. 1804 St. Clair Co. My parents and grandparents on both sides joined the Morman Church in the fall of 1834" My gg grandfather (b. 1834 Nashville) was not among this group, as all in family did not want to join the Mormans. BUT, is there a good chance other Wash. Co. surnames went west and vanished from the census after 1830 ???? If so, try Hancock Co. IL (Nauvoo) or even UTAH ??? Hope the dates help, as I've been told, people traveled in groups. ??? Reuben was one of the first men appointed to oversee the running of the "new" Washington Co. 1818, and was there even before 1810. That's all the Wash. Co. Morman migration info I have. Robert J. Middleton. .
