The family was origionally seated at Crocker's Hale, Devonshire England. John Crocker, with his brother William emigrated to the new world around 1634/5 reportably on the "Griffin" with preacher Lathrop's church.

FROM THE BOOK: Our American ancestry, by Frederick T. Gates

He was a large land owner, the "wealthiest" man in Barnstable, constable in 1644, on the grand jury many times, selectman in 1688, representative three times, and surveyor of highways. He died in 1692, aged about eighty. The Crockers were a vigorous and long lived family.

FROM THE BOOK: "A History of Cape Cod "by Kittredge..pp 60/1

""what manner of men were these who started civilization on the Cape ? They were first of all me to whom democracy, as a theory of govt, as a way of life, was unheard of. No royal parent ever scanned the eligibility of the sutors for the hand of his daughter with greater care than the Plymouth govt scanned the applicants for admission to its towns. Before any man might own land or build a house in these new settlements, he must pass inspection by the general court or its local representatives. This law was no dead letter in the statue book- it was vigorously and unceremoniously inforced. Every town appointed a couple of substantial citizens to the unpleasant duty of ejecting undesirables. If a newcomer, wether through ignorance, arrogance or mere thoughlessness failed to consult these officials and began to build his house unsantuioned, he was promptly "warned oput of town" regardless of his desirability and was obliged to leave his housed unfinished until he had complied with the law..................two early guardians of Barnstables exclusiveness--William Crocker and Thomas Hutchins--found themselves called upon to perform the same ruthless duty.......

William was repeatedly elected as a justice of the peace, and was elected 3 times to the General Court (govt). By just being prosperous in that society he would have been unlikely to achieve this.

Remember, the Pilgrims left southern England, stopped in Plymouth, and the merchants who financed the enterprise would have been known to the upper classes. Relitives of a local dynasty would have been aware of the economic possibilities in the Mass Bay Colony. Those with the heritage of a famous family name would have class position , especially in the new world. Sons of such

families could in the new world reclaim the wealth of their ancestors using their status in society to open doors for them. This presents a great motive for William and John to emigrate to the new world.

FROM THE BOOK: Our American ancestry, by Frederick T. Gates

He had lived in Barnstable all of his life and lies buried in the West Barnstable graveyard. He was a substantial farmer with a large estate.

FROM: MAYFLOWER INCREASINGS by Susan Roser

The following is from the Genealogical Notes of Barnstable by Amos Otis, 1888.

Jonathan Crocker, son of John, owned the land now known as the Bodfish Farm at West Barnstable. He was a substantial farmer, owned a large estate; and, as his father and grand-father had done, he conveyed by deeds a large part of it to his children, reserving only a sufficiency for his comfortable support in his old age. His residence on the Bodfish Fram, probably built by his father, was a two story single house, with a leantoo, or salt box as they were sometimes called, on the side. This he sold in 1713 to his son-in-law, Robert Bodfish. It was taken down in 1819, and the old Bodfish mansion house stands on the same spot. His will, which is in the hand writing of the Rev. Jonathan Russel, is dated June 1737, and the codicil thereto June 1742, four years after his death. He provides for the support of his wife Thankful, giving her the household goods she brought with her, and some bedding she had made since. He gave his son Isaac L30 and his great chair, names his son James, and James' oldest son, to whom he gave his gun. To the Rev. Jonathan Russell he devised 20 shillings; to the church 20 shillings; and to Mary Dexter then living with him L5. All the rest of his estate, real and personal, to the children of his three daughters, Lydia, Hannah and Reliance. In the codicil to his will he gives the estate which has fallen to him by the death of his brother Nataniel, equally, in five shares, to his sons Isaac and James, to the children and heirs of his daughter Lydia Bodfish, deceased, to the children and heirs of his daughter Hannah Fuller, and to the children and heirs of his daughter Reliance Smith, deceased. At the time he made his will all his children, excepting Isaac and James, were dead, and they all resided in Connecticut.

Jonathan Crocker married for his first wife, 20th May, 1686, Hannah, daughter of Lieut. John Howland. She was the mother of all his children.

After her death he married Feb. 1710-11, Thankful, widow of Mr. John Hinckley, Jr. and a daughter of Thomas Troot of Dorchester. He died Aug. 24, 1746, aged 84, and is buried in the West Barnstable grave yard. No monuments are erected to the memory of either of his wives.

Buried at the Shaw Burying Ground, Schnible Farm, Fleming Rd., Rensselaerville, Albany Co., New York. Headstone transcribed in 1935 Rensselaerville Cemetery Index, Hall of Records, Albany, Albany Co., New York. Cemetery is located on Fleming Road in Rensselaerville, Albany Co., New York. In August of 2004, I attempted to find the Shaw Burying Ground and was unsuccessful. It is possible this cemetery sits on top of a hill behind a very old rock wall which I could not approach. On the left side just a few feet up the road is possibly the home of the owner of the farm land surrounding the Shaw Burying Ground. The home is a two story colonial style wood sided home which possibly dates before 1800. Further research with local historians will be necessary to locate the Shaw Burying Ground.

Malvina Black Gist married Clark Waring in 1867 and lived for the remainder of her life in Columbia, South Carolina. She produced numerous short stories and volumes of poetry, and three novels. At her death in 1930 at the age of 88, she was survived by three children. (This biographical information was obtained from Katharine M. Jones, Editor, Heroines of Dixie: The Winter of Desperation, Ballantine Books, New York, 1955, p. 194.)

Malvina Black Gist Waring was a central figure in the organization of the Daughters of the American Revolution in the state of South Carolina. She served as the Organizing Regent for the Columbia Chapter, which is the first chapter in the state. She later served as the second State Regent for South Carolina and then Vice President General from South Carolina. The portrait of Mrs. Waring at left is provided by the Columbia Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, from a 1994 edition of the National D. A. R. magazine commemorating the centennial of the Columbia Chapter's organization under Mrs. Waring's leadership.

Malvina's first husband, William M. Gist, was Major and later Lieutenant Colonel, commanding, of the 15th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry. Son of Gov. William H. Gist (see the Gist home, Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site, Union, SC), he died in action near Knoxville in November 1863, about 11 months after he and Malvina Black were wed.

TITLE: Malvina Black Gist: Civil Worker in Civil War

By Patricia B. Mitchell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In early 1865, Malvina Black Gist, a young war widow, employed by the Confederate Note Department in Columbia, South Carolina, left that state capital to move with her government department to the "safety" of Richmond, Virginia.

As Malvina and other war refugees crowded into Richmond, food shortages became more severe. On March 8, 1865, Malvina wrote in her journal:

March 8. — Wish I had been taught to cook instead of how to play on the piano. A practical knowledge of the preparation of food products would stand me in better stead at this juncture than any amount of information regarding the scientific principles of music. I adore music, but I can't live without eating — and I'm hungry! I want some chicken salad, and some charlotte russe, and some oxpalate, and corn muffins! These are the things I want; but I'll eat anything I can get. Honestly, our cuisine has become a burning question. *

Nowadays we are not in the difficult straits Malvina found, but it is helpful to know how (and why) to cook.

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.

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.

Eliza Stuart died due to a fall from her bedroom window July 4th 1919. It seems she was sleeping and became hot and leaned out of the top floor window of her home for fresh air. It is assumed that she became faint as well from heart disease which she suffered from at the time. Eliza fell from the window and hit her head, passing days later in a coma. Her home was located in what is now the rear parking of the RLDS Temple in Independence Mo. Eliza's death made frontpage news in the local paper, the Examiner. She was buried at Mound Grove Cemetery, Independence, Jackson Co., Missouri.
