Almost every record we pull up from the LDS site was >submitted by Anthony W. Ivins. He was quite high up in the Mormon church. Yes, Anthony W. Ivins' name is on a lot of the family group sheets found in the patron file which I spoke of in my last post, for some of my old Quaker lines from Burlington Co. too. (My Black line, which we have discussed before, Marie, and others) The family organization which used his name was extremely active and did an incredible amount of early research in the related families, back I think in the 1920's. There were also early Mormon church members in Cream Ridge (Upper Freehold) area too from the Ivins family who went west, Rachel Ivins for one, whose son Heber J. Grant became a church leader. I didn't know that when I joined the church about a hundred years later, while living in the same area (Cream Ridge, I was actually in nearby Walnford). Nor did I know I would end up finding distant relationships to these early members in my extended Black family line. It is interesting. I went to high school with Ivins and Grants at Allentown High School. So if some members of your family disappear in the mid 1800s, maybe they went west in the Mormon exodus too - Kirkland, Ohio> Missouri (several locations),>Nauvoo, Illinois> Salt Lake City Utah was the path, depending on the year they went.
