From "Early New York History:

The name Bouton is of French origin, and from 1350 for two centures, the court records of Frnce abound with the name. Nicholas Bouton, who borethe title of County Chanilly, Baron Montague de Nation, was born about1580, and was the father of Harrod and John, twins, and Noel, all of whomwer Huguenots and refugees during the persecutions of the Protestants bythe Catholics. Noel afterwards returned to France, where he distinguished himself, and was subsequently made Marshall of all France.

JOHN BOUTON, IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR, SAILED FROM GRAVESEND, ENGLAND JULY,1635, AND LANDED IN BOSTON, MA. IN DECEMBER OF THAT YEAR. He was thenaged twenty. He lived first in Boston, then in Watertown, and early in the settlement of Hartford, CT, removed there. 1651 he removed again to Norwalk, CT, where he became an influential citizen. In 1671, and for several yers after, he was a representative in the general court of CTand held other offices in Norwalk. He married Alice_____who survived him(???) and married (second) the daughter of Matthew Marvin as his secondwife. Her will was dated December 1, 1680, and mentioned her son, John Bourton; daughters, Bridget Kellogg, Abigail Bouton, Rachel Smith, and grandchildren Ruth and Rachel Bouton, and Sarah Brinsmead. Among their children were: John, born about 1639, died in Norwalk, June 27, 1665,married Ruth ______; Bridget, born about 1642, married, in 1660 Daniel Kellogg. lived in Stockbridge, MA (There seems to be discrepancy about the "johns". need more research before I finish typing in thie account from the New York History account -- Rubye)

Bouton-Boughton Family

GENEALOGY.

1. JOHN BOUTON, son of the Count Nicholas Bouton, was a Huguenot and during the existence of the great persecution fled to England, where the Government were offering to send emigrants to America, on condition they would swear allegiance to the Crown of England. A registry of such emigrants was kept at London, a copy of which has been examined by the compiler of this work, and as only one person by the Bouton name is found on that registry, embracing a period of 100 years, from 1600 to 1700, itis supposed that said person was the John Bouton of whom this account is traced, and that all the families of Boutons or Boughtons in this country prior to 1700, were descended from said John Bouton, who embarked from Gravesend, England, in the barque Assurance, July, 1635, and landed at Boston, Massachusetts, in December, 1635, aged 20 years; whether married or not at the time is not known.

He married 1st, Joan Turney, and lived in Boston and Watertown, Mass., and early in the settlement of Hartford, Conn., moved to that place, and again in 1651, soon after the commencement of the settlement of Norwalk, he removed to that place, where his wife Joan soon died, and where he became an influential citizen, and in 1671, and for several years subsequent, he was a representative in the general court of the colony of Counecticut, and served his townsmen in many official capacities in Norwalk. He m. 2d, at Norwalk, Ct., Jan. 1, 1656, Abigail Marvin (dau. of Matthew Marvin, who came from London, Eng.) She was born at Hartford about 1640, and died at Norwalk about 1672. He married 3d, at Norwalk about 1673, Mrs. Mary Stevenson, widow of Jonathan Stevenson, who was killed in a swamp fight with the Indians near Norwalk.

He gave land to his sons John and Matthew, as appears on the Norwalk town records, and at his death, which occurred at Danbury, Ct., 1704-5, he left an estate at Norwalk, a part of which has remained in possession of his

Whether Matthew Marvin's second wife, Alice, was a KELLOGG is also open to question. If anyone can supply proof of her identity, it would be most welcome. The most reliable sources do not give Alice's maiden name. They agree that she married (1) before 1636 John Bouton, and married (2) about 1645 Matthew Marvin as his second wife.

There was considerable early confusion over Alice's identity. The Genealogy of the Marvin Family published in NEHGR 16:250 said Matthew Marvin married (2) in Norwalk "Mrs. Alice Kellogg" and the Memorial History of Hartford County, Conn on p. 251 repeated this error. Early genealogies confused the John Bouton who married Alice with the their son John Bouton who married Matthew Marvin's daughter Abigail. Some called Alice the daughter of John Bowton rather than his widow. The fact that she was John's widow is proved by her own will, as well as that of her second husband. These were published by William Marvin in NEHGR 51:330-334, correcting the earlier errors.

Willis Boughton, in his sequel to the error-filled genealogy by James Boughton, says that Alice PRATT married John Bouton in England and came to Boston with him on the ship Assurance in 1635. Later he writes that Alice may have been Alice Kellogg, however. The Pratt Directory" by Jayne Pratt Lovelace calls her "Alice Pratt."

Some sources call her Alice KELLOGG. In TAG 11:114-118 Part 1, William Jones notes that there are errors in James Bouton's Bouton-Boughton genealogy, and mentions an excellent account in C. A. Hoppin's "Washington Ancestry" 3:489-514. In Part 2 of the same article, Donald L. Jacobus says the most serious mistakes in James Bouton's genealogy regarding the first two John Boutons were corrected in an article by William Marvin in NEHGR 51 (1897), and cites as "substantially correct" his own account in "Families of of Old Fairfield", and the Hoppin "Washington Ancestry" (1932) likewise, with the exception of the wives of John3 and John4 Bouton, which Jacobus then corrects. In summary, Jacobus lists the four John Bouton's and their wives, calling the wife of John1 Bouton "Alice __", but noting "according to the statements of some of the earlier compilers, she was a Mrs. Alice Kellogg; that supposition has been disproved, and according to the "Washington Ancestry" she was born a Kellogg. While that is possible, no evidence for her maiden name has been seen by the present writer."

Charles Nelson Hickok in his Hickok Genealogy, says that John Bouton, age 20, came on the Assurance from Gravesend to Boston late in 1635. "He appears as a single man, left Boston at once for Newtown, later renamed Hartford, on the Connecticut River. He was too young to be an important man in this migration to Hartford and as he died there in less than nine years after arriving he did not take a prominent part in anything of a public nature. He was serviced to another, doubtless associated at Hartford with Nathaniel Kellogg. It is fairly claimed John Bowton married Alice Kellogg in 1636/7, she was his only wife and he her first husband. (cites Kelloggs in Old World and New, p. 31.)

... "When she married (1) about 1636, John Bowton, she was about 26 years old. Doubtless she came to New England 1635/6 with Nathaniel Kellogg, but it is not clear whether she was his sister, niece, cousin, or granddaughter of William and Alice Kellogg of Saffron Walden, Essex."

I have the will of Nathaniel Kellogg, who died without issue, and left bequests to brothers and sisters -- no bequest to Alice, so I assume that means she was not his sister. My Kellogg information concentrates on Martin Kellogg, and does not give enough information on the descendants of his brothers and sisters to identify Alice's parents if she was, indeed, a granddaughter of William and Alice Kellogg.

Alt Death: Dec 1680 Norwalk, Fairfield, Connecticut

FROM: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bucknum/Pa16.html

John was in Norwalk, 1655, and was one of the earliest proprietors, though his name does not appear in the Ludlow agreement. His lot of four acres was opposite Matthew Marvin, Jr.'s, a little further west, on the corner of the Stamford road, with the minister's and John Ruscoe's on the east. Thomas Lupton was on the south, who sold to Platt in 1665, and in 1674 Bouton purchased of Platt. In 1675 his estate of "commonage" was oe339;100, and in 1687, oe339;184., 15. He was chosen "survaior" in 1670; was selectman in 1671, '74, '79, '83, '84, '85 and '89, and represented Norwalk in the General Court in 1671, '73, '74, '75, and again some years later, until 1685. In 1678 he was on a "comite chosen to oversee the work about the meting-house," and one of those to entertain the gentlemen called to settle the differences about moving that building. In 1686 he was on the committees to seat the new meeting-house, and to "settle the differences about the head-lynes," and 16 Jan'y, 1695, to obtain a minister. He was "serjeant" of the Norwalk train-band. John "of Norwalk" mentions in his will, then wife Mary; sons Matthew, Joseph, Thomas and Richard; daughters Rachel Sension, Abigail Smith, Hannah Betts, Elizabeth Warrin and Mary Bouton; grandchild John Bouton, of Danbury; it was witnessed by William Haines and John Gregory. Joseph his son, and Mary his widow, approved it when presented, but "Matthew Sension, Edman Warrin and James Betts, sons-in-law to the deceased John Bouton, agrieved, appealed." Joseph approved the inventory 18 Feb., 1707. The will as allowed was recorded 7 Feb., 1709.

John Bouton was among the first settlers of Norwalk. He was a French Protestant, and it is said there are many of the same name still living in France and Germany, and that a great similarity exists between the families there and here. He had five children after his marriage as here recorded, viz. John, Matthew, Rachel, Abigail, and Mary.

***

Somehow daughter Elizabeth Bouton b.1681 is overlooked. Birth, death & burial data for Elizabeth Bouton from Jacobus(1), p. 4. Birthplace from LDS 8726104/23, which says born in 1673. Marriage date could be Oct. 16, 1698.

***

Sergt. John Bouton 2d (John1) was born in 1636. He married (1) Abigail Marvin, daughter of Matthew Marvin and Elizabeth Gregory, on 1 January 1656/57 in Norwalk, Fairfield County, CT. He married Mary after November 1689 (Mary was the widow of (1) Thomas Allen and (2) Jonathan Stevenson). He died after 27 January 1706/7 and before 25 December 1709 in Norwalk, Fairfield County, CT.

The John Bouton who received a home lot in Norwalk seems to have been the son -- widow Alice remarried by 1647 and Norwalk was not settled until 1650. He was one of the first settlers of Norwalk. He was Deputy to the Connecticut Legislature between 1669 and 1685 from Norwalk, Fairfield County, CT, and Sergeant of the Norwalk Trainband. The will of John Bouton Sr. of Norwalk is dated 25 December 1706; probated 27 January 1706/7. He mentions wife Mary, grandchild John Bowton of Danbury, sons Mathew and Joseph Bowton; daughter Rachel Sension, son Thomas Bowton, daughter Elizabeth Warrin, son Richard Bowton, daughter Mary Bowton; three sons: Joseph, Thomas and Richard; Matthew Sension, "Edman Waren," and James Betts, sons-in-law to the deceased. Appealed.

On 16 July 1720, Mary Bouton of Norwalk distributed property to son Thomas Bouton, daughter Mary Morehouse, to "Thomas and Richard," geese to Thomas Bouton, he to give one gander and two geese to John Betts' wife; my three grandchildren Thomas Bouton, Richard Bouton and Mary Morehouse land at "Compow in Fairfield"; my grandchildren Mary Hayes, Ruth Bouton, and Gabriel Morehouse.

On 13 October 1664, he was made a freeman. Once he was enfranchised, he became active in town affairs. John served as a Deputy to the Connecticut Legislature on many occasions. He was elected to that position on October 1669, October 1671, October 1673, May 1674, May 1675, October 1676, May and October 1677, May 1678, October 1679, May 1680, May 1681, May and October 1682, May 1683, May and October 1685. He was chosen Surveyor on 21 February 1670; and Selectman in 1671, 1674, 1679, 1683, 1684, and 1689.

On 2 June 1666, John and several others (including his brother-in-law Daniel Kellogg) were granted all that creek lying between Thomas Seymour's barn and the Barren Marsh, for which they were to procure a highway to Bowton's Island. On 4 December 1668, he drew lot number 26 in the division of the winter wheat field. In 1671, his land was appraised at £100. In 1674, he purchased the lot to the immediate south of his from a Mr. Platt, who had purchased it from Thomas Lupton in 1665. In 1685, a "Cattelog of a division of land agreed to be layd out at three acors to the hundred: with the severall lotts as they were drawn by the inhabitants" listed John as John Bouton 16." On 12 December 1687, town records show the following:

" All common land Over the River, leaving sufficient for highways, to be laid out, to the inhabitants, according to their estates. Three score acors of the same sequestered for the Indians. A division granted of 20 Acres to the hundred. The number of Lotts and the order as they were drawn, of that Division of Land over Norwalk River below the path leading to Meadow field . . . John Bouton, senr., 49."

By 3 January 1687, his land value had risen to £184.15.00.

He also served on a number of committees, many of which revolved around the town meeting house. On 31 January 1678, he was named to a committee "chosen to oversee the work about the meting-house," and to entertain the gentlemen called upon to settle the differences about moving that building. In March 1678/9, it was voted that the Committee "should goe on with the worke Comitted to them, in refference to the meeting house, and to goe on with the worke forthwith according to their best Discression." In 1686, he was on a related committee formed to seat the new meeting house and to "settle the differences about the head-lynes." Finally, on 16 Januray 1694/5, he was on a committee formed to "exercise their best prudence for to look out for, and endeavorr what in them lyeth, in the use of all lawfull meanes, for to obtaine a faithful Minister and dispenser of the word of the Gospel to us in this place; and they are to take care for his entertainment when obtained." He also served as a sergeant in the Norwalk Train Band.

Zachariah is possibly the brother of Wilson as he is found living very close. Notice the counties each family has listed as birth places. As well Zachariah has a son named Wilson which would indicate that the chance of a relationship quite high. Zachariah can be traced to Iowa in the late 1800s living with his son Orange.

1868 Marcus Shaw appointed by the Governor to be one of two first county commissioners. Sept. 12, meeting held at the home of Marcus to conduct county business. Marcus Shaw became Otter Tail Co., MN county treasurer after May 20, 1869 and resigned July 3, 1873

FROM: The family record of Linda A. Ellsworth

"In 1895 he is in Lamoni, Decorah Co., Iowa which is where Graceland College is located. Marcus was a stone mason, plasterer, etc. I have often wondered if he helped in the construction of the college. I believe he was in Independence, MO by 1900. After Eliza died he moved to Ottumwa, Wapello co., IA where his step-daughter Lilly Bentley Ammenhauser lived."

FROM THE BOOK: Church History Volume 4, Chapter 13, 1878

April 7, Elder Marcus Shaw, of Detroit, Minnesota, wrote in behalf of Mrs. Lois Cutler, wife of Alpheus Cutler, as follows:

(page 219)

In order to perform a duty that our late Sr. Lois Cutler had in her mind to attend to before she died, but failed to do it, I write.

After she had united with the Reorganized Church, she asked for additional testimony; and she promised in her prayer that she would make it known unto the world. Her prayer was about as follows:

"Lord, if the present Joseph, the son of the martyred prophet, is truly his father's successor by right, and has been called by thine own power to the presidency of the church, and is accepted of thee as a prophet, wilt thou witness unto me in this manner, by taking this lump off from my finger that has been here for a long time. If this be done, I shall then know that the Reorganized Church is the church, and that Joseph is thy prophet, and I covenant to tell the same to the world."

The facts are as follows: She had a lump on one of her fingers about the size of a large hazlenut, of a bony substance, which had been there some fourteen years, and truly she could ascribe it to some unseen power if it was removed. The good Lord answered her prayer, for it remained only a few days afterward. She had thought for a long time that she would write to the Herald of this miracle, but neglected to do so. And now, to be obedient unto the Spirit, I write for her, and add my testimony, as I was knowing to the fact that the lump was on her finger for several years and that it went away, and I believe that it was in answer to her prayer. Near three years ago she was miraculously healed by the laying on of hands; and also by the laying on of hands and prayer her eyesight was restored.-The Saints' Herald, vol. 25, p. 172.

FROM THE BOOK: Church History Volume 4, Chapter 11, 1877

Bro. Marcus Shaw, of Detroit, Becker County, Minnesota, writes that the Saints there are all doing well, but have some trials. No traveling elder visits them. He is preaching the gospel and expects to devote most of his time this winter to the work.

Little is known about Marcus Shaw's first wife Cordelia other than a marriage record in Mills Co. Iowa. It is not believed that they ever had children. Cordelia was the daughter of Charles Whiting and Martha Manna Hurlburt. The Whiting family were longtime Mormon/RLDS Church members for many generations. Several of the Whiting descendants would move to the Independence Mo. area and are buried at Mound Grove Cemetery including Alonzo, Lurette, Editha Ann and Louisa Lida. These would all be first cousins of Cordelia Whiting. The Whitings would eventually follow Adolphus Cutler and his movement to Iowa and Minnesota as Marcus Shaw did.

FROM: http://www.cutlerite.org/history.htm

(Information concerning Chauncey Whiting the uncle of Cordelia Whiting and his association with The Church of Jesus Christ, Cutlerites which later moved to Independence Mo.)

Alpheus Cutler died August 10, 1864, and was succeeded in office by Chauncey Whiting. Shortly after Cutler's death the church moved to Minnesota where they established a thriving community at Clitherall or Old Town, as it is now known. During this next 10 year period they were visited by missionaries of a different restoration group who offered an easier way of life and lead off those who were weak in the faith, and many young members.

Chauncy Whiting passed away in 1902 and was followed by his son, Isaac, in church leadership. Isaac continued in his office until his death in 1922, at which time Emery Fletcher assumed the role of President. About 1912, the Order of Enoch, having been discontinued, for a time, due to the reluctance of some in turning in the homesteads they had proved out upon, it was decided to again set up the Order as originally instituted, and it has been maintained to the present day.

Andrew J. Simmonds (1943-1995), in his 1995 Nauvoo Journal article, ("'Thou and all Thy House:' Three Case Studies of Clan and Charisma in the Early Church") tried to link D. P. with two of the daughters-in-law of Mormons "Sally Hulet Whiting, [and] her husband Elisha Whiting, Jr." Simmonds says that "the Hulets were a Massachusetts family settled in Lee, Berkshire County, who moved to Nelson Township, Portage County, Ohio, in the Western Reserve in 1814." In his 1979 unpublished Mormon History Association paper, "John Noah and the Hulets: A Study in Charisma in the Early Church," Simmonds identifies these daughter-in-law as sisters Lydia B. Hurlbut, who in 1830 married William E. Whiting (1807-1834) and Martha Mana Hurlbut, who, on Sept. 16, 1835 was married by Joseph Smith, Jr. to Charles Whiting (1811-1841). Lydia remarried Charles English after the death of William in 1841, and after Charles' death in 1839 she married John J. Babcock. Lydia appears to have died on the Iowa trail c. 1847-48. Martha was born at Burlington, Vermont on Aug. 27, 1814. She remarried the infamous Mormon outlaw Jackson Redding (1817-aft. 1850) after the death of Charles Whiting in 1841; she died at Winter Quarters on March 15, 1847.

FROM: http://www.swcp.com/~jhafner/whithurlhy.htm (information concerning Cordelias family including her uncles and cousins)

Friction between the Missourians and Mormons continued in Caldwell County resulting in armed conflicts. In the fall of 1838, Missouri Governor Lilburn W. Boggs issued his infamous order to the militia to drive the Mormons out of the state or kill them in the process. By March 1839, the Mormons had abandoned all settlements in Missouri and had moved into Illinois and Iowa. Probable routes are shown on the following map entitled "LDS Winter Exoduss from Missouri, 1838-1839." It seems likely that Lydia and her five children, and Charles English, if still alive, traveled to Illinois with Elisha Whiting, Sally, and other Whitings.

Accordig to Christensen, the Whitings came to the "Morley Settlement" near Lima, Illinois. Also:

William E. Whiting's family was found in the record of membership of Lima Stake. The record showed Lydia B. Babcock with children; Edmond W., Mary M. and Martha B. Whiting. Mary and Martha, the twins, were listed as under eight years; also Morenda, A. English and Charles H. English were under eight years. That pointed to the fact that Lydia had been widowed a second time and had married a third husband named Babcock. She and her children were listed as members of the Lima Stake when it was organized in 1840.

Although the earlier settlers in Illinois had initially welcomed the Mormons driven from Missouri, once again there was friction and mob violence. In the fall of 1845, the Mormons began to gather in Nauvoo for protection and to prepare for a westward migration in the spring. The exodus began in March, 1846. According to Christensen:

The people known to have been traveling in that immediate group which left Nauvoo were: Elisha and Sally Hulet Whiting with their unmarried sons, Sylvester, Almond, and Francis Lewis. Also with Elisha were his widowed daughters-in-law, the former wives of William and Charles Whiting. Their families were composed of William's three children, plus two sons born to Lydia by her second husband, Charles English. Also, Martha Hurlburt Whiting and her three children went along. Chancey and Editha Ann Morley Whiting, with their children were in the group. So were Amos and Philena Morley Cox and their three children. Orville and Elvira Cox and two children were part of the group. F. Walter and Emeline Whiting Cox were there with their five children. In the wagon with Edwin Whiting rode Mary Cox Whiting and Jemima Losee Cox.

An incident in the Journal History is quoted as follows:

28 March 1846. The main camp still remained on Chariton River… A boy by the name of Edmund Whiting shot an otter at the bend of the river; he afterwards discovered that the otter was caught in a trap; he took off the skin and carried it to camp, leaving the trap on the bank. In the course of the day the trapper, who lived a short distance off, came into camp and stated that he had eight traps in the neighborhood, and had lost six of them, intimating that the Camp had stolen them; but this was not believed. In the evening, the Council heard what the boy had done with the otter skin and called him into the post office with the skin, when he related all his doings concerning the matter.

The council were satisfied that he meant no harm and instructed him to go early in the morning and bring the trap, and take it and the skin to the trapper in company with Stephen Markham. President Young instructed Brother Markham to say to the man that if one of his traps were found in the camp within one thousand miles of the place, it should be sent back to him with the man that took it.

30 March 1846. Stephan Markham reported that he could not find Edmund Whiting, the boy that shot the otter in the trap and that he had returned the skin to Mr. Davis, the trapper, who was satisfied with the actions of the officer of the Camp.

Note that there is no mention of John Babcock, nor his children.

The Whitings and related families went on west to a temporary camp they called "Mt Pisgah" (near present Talmage, IA, about 170 miles west of Nauvoo).

A sizable tract of ground at Mt. Pisgah was fenced, the ground was plowed and planted to crops. The families went to work to build temporary homes. Walter Cox built two huts for his family. The Whitings again built a chair shop. Walter Cox cut down trees, split the trunks and made benches for a little school in a grove. The lower benches were for seats and the higher benches for desks.

Christensen mentions Edmond Whiting several times. In response to a request from Mormon leaders for volunteers to serve in the war with Mexico, Edmond and his uncle Almon were mustered into service at Council Bluffs on July 16, 1846. After their return from service in the "Mormon Battalion" (5), presumably 1847, they helped establish a new settlement called Silver Creek or Cutler's Settlement (between present day Silver City and Malvern). Chauncey, Sylvester, and Lewis Whiting were also among those involved. Neither Edmond nor Almon is mentioned in the 1850 US census of Pottawatomie Co, IA, but Chauncey and his family are, as is a group of young Whiting people living together: Sylvester - 24, Louis - 22, Abner - 20, Mary - 17, Martha - 16, Cordelia - 14, (wife of Marcus Shaw) and Elisha - 12. The last three seem likely to be the children of Martha Manna Hurlburt Whiting, who died at Winter Quarters, near present day Omaha, during the spring of 1847. We have wondered if the Mary - 17 could be 'our' Mary, but, if so, where was her twin sister Martha? According to Christensen, Edmond Whiting married Augusta McConoughly on July 19, 1857. His family is listed in the Federal Censuses of 1860 for Fremont Co and in the 1870, 1880, and 1900 censuses for Page Co. He died June 12, 1908 in Shenandoah, IA. According to Christensen, he spent one winter in Minnesota, presumably with other "Cutlerites" in Clitherall, but then returned to southwestern Iowa. His oldest son, William Elisha Whiting was born in Manti on Jan. 25, 1862, became a physician, and in 1890 moved to Brush, CO, the home of his first cousin, Rena Bell McGinnis, and her husband, John. The Colorado State Business Directories for 1895 and 1896 list him as physician and postmaster, and also in the drug business with McGinnis. Dr. Whiting died of typhoid fever on Feb 11, 1896, and was buried near the graves of Rena and John McGinnis in the Brush Cemetary.

(Information concerning Jackson Redding the brother in law of Cornelia through her sister Martha.)

It was becoming very urgent for the pioneers to complete their journey and to plant a crop as soon as possible in the Salt Lake Valley. The Twelve directed Orson Pratt to lead an advance company of 42 men and 23 wagons to proceed through the mountains. They were instructed to make roads to enable the main company to follow later. Heber C. Kimball returned to The Needles. At 3 p.m., this company started their journey and traveled about eight miles down Red Fork.

[The company consisted of Orson Pratt, Orrin Porter Rockwell, Jackson Redding, Stephen Markham, Nathaniel Fairbanks, Joseph Egbert, John S. Freeman, Marcus B. Thorpe, Robert Crow, Benjamin B. Crow, John Crow, William H. Crow, William P. Crow, George W. Therlkill, James Chesney, Lewis B. Myers, John Brown, Shadrack Roundy, Hans C. Hanson, Levi Jackman, Lyman Curtis, David Powell, Oscar Crosby, Hark Lay, Joseph Matthews, Gilbert Summe, Green Flake, John S. Gleason, Charles Burke, Norman Taylor, Alexander P.

Burial: Possibly Mills Co., Iowa

Census1: 1850, Pottawatomie Co, Iowa (living with her uncle Chauncey Whiting and family)

Fact1: Her parents were wed in Ohio by Joseph Smith Jr. the Mormon Prophet.

Fact2: Cordelia's sister Martha married Erastus Cutler the grandson of Adolphus Cutler. Martha also married Jackson Redding the well known Mormon Danite who often rode with Orrin Rockwell. Orrin Rockwell was also the father in law of Marcus Shaw.

Fact3: Mills Co. marriage records list Cordely Whiting as the wife of Marcus Shaw

Mills Co. marriage records list Cordely Whiting as the wife of Marcus Shaw

FROM: Linda in Oregon (a cousin through Marcus Shaw)

" I have seen that information about Sarah Shaw being the daughter of Orrin Porter Rockwell. However, the marriage records of Mills Co., IA says Marcus married Sarah Jane REED on Aug. 12, 1858. In the 1856 Mills Co., IA census a Noah and Sarah Reed are living in the household of Luana Perry (Luana Hart Beebe Rockwell Perry Baldwin)who was married to Orrin Porter Rockwell. Before that Marcus was married to Cordelia Whitling. Marcus was a follower of Adolfus Cutler."

Linda stated that Marcus or his children had submitted lineage to the book: A history of the Hinmans and Kindred Families, 1907 at sometime during its production that had many verifiable facts. The connection of Marcus' wife Sarah Jane as a daughter of Orrin Porter Rockwell was also submitted. As so many know Marcus as the husband of Sarah Jane Rockwell and with the production of the book, it is believed that possibly Sarah Jane listed as Reed on the Mills Co. marriage record had previously married a Reed and hence explaining the confusion with the last names.
