Departure:  19 June 1860  Arrival: 30 August 1860

Company Information: 
279 individuals and 38 wagons were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting post at Florence, Nebraska (now Omaha).
Narrative:
Having lived in Utah since 1857, Jesse Murphy returned to the Missouri River in 1860 to escort his father's family west. At Florence, Nebraska Territory, he was named captain of 279 emigrants. There were 38 wagons, 2 carriages, 255 head of livestock, and a threshing machine belonging to Captain Murphy's father. They left Florence on June 19. At Loup Fork Ferry, two missionaries with a small wagon caught up to and joined the company. The missionaries had been serving among the Cherokees in Indian Territory. On June 30, the company passed Wood River Center. Captain Murphy often permitted two sisters (ages 10 and 12) to ride on his father's threshing machine, a practice that led to a memorable event. As they forded the Platte River, water flooded over both the thresher and the girls. Fortunately all were saved as Murphy held the girls up high so that their parents, on the other side of the river, could see that all was well. 

In mid-July, they reached Ash Hollow and passed Fort Laramie in late July. George Q. Cannon, in charge of Mormon emigration that year, overtook them at Greasewood Creek and camped with them at Independence Rock on August 7. When some in the company saw the many emigrant graves near Devil's Gate, they did not want to continue until the Captain promised them that none of them would die on the trail. His promise was fulfilled as there were no deaths.

On August 23, celebrated adventurer Richard F. Burton passed the emigrants as they were descending Quaking-Asp Hill. "The descent was long and rapid—so rapid, indeed, that oftentimes when the block of wood which formed our break dropped a bit of old shoe leather nailed upon it to prevent ignition, I felt, as a man may be excused for feeling, that catching of the breath," Burton wrote. "The sides of the road were rich in vegetation, stunted oak, black-jack, and box elder of the tallest stature; above rose the wild cherry, and the service-tree formed the bushes below. The descent, besides being decidedly sharp, was exceedingly devious, and our frequent 'shaves'—a train of Mormon wagons was crawling down at the same time—made us feel somewhat thankful that we reached the bottom without broken bones."

Burton also wrote that Captain Murphy flew the American flag and that the emigrants, "though weather-beaten, all looked well." Murphy's company was at Sulfur Creek on August 16. On August 29, the two missionaries who had earlier joined the company arrived in Salt Lake City. The rest of the company arrived the following day. Of his travel with the company, one of the missionaries recalled, "I enjoyed myself excellently while crossing the plains, walking nearly the whole distance and to me it was more like a pleasure trip, than a toilsome pilgrimage." Two babies were born en route.

PHEBE ANN CAMPBELL
Compiled by Margaret S. Loosle, 2007

Phebe Ann Campbell was born June 17, 1820, the third child of John Campbell and Mercy Worden. The family lived in Ridgeberry Township, Bradford Co., Pennsylvania.
Her mother died giving birth to twins when Phebe was 12 years old leaving her with a lot of responsibility with her father and siblings. The twins were given away leaving nine children in the home.

She married Isaiah Campbell, her first cousin, sometime before 1840. Isaiah and Phebe Ann had both been baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and gathered with the body of the Church in Nauvoo, Illinois. When the Saints were expelled from Nauvoo the couple eventually moved to Burlington, DesMoines Co., Iowa. Some of the other members of the Campbell family also lived there and they stayed for some time. It is assumed that they did not have the resources to move west but were finally able to cross the plains and settled in North Ogden, Utah.

Isaiah married Sarah Susanna Garrard in 1854. When they begin having children and Phebe had not had any children, she became dissatisfied with the situation. Isaiah and Phebe had been married for nineteen years when they divorced.

She lived in North Ogden, taking care of her sister Abigail’s children, for almost five years when she married her uncle, Jonathan Campbell, on October 13, 1860. Jonathan was a prominent citizen of the community for several reasons. First, he had served in the Mormon Battalion which gave him status among the members of the Church. Next, he was of the first contingent of pioneers to settle the land in North Ogden and held considerable property. Jonathan had been married to Charity Fuller in Pennsylvania. She died in Winter’s Quarters, Iowa, leaving three living children. After returning from the Mormon Battalion, Jonathan married Lucinda Shipman who had crossed the plains with two children. She and Jonathan had three living children when he married Phebe so there was a big family to take care of. Since Phebe’s first husband had given her a home it is not likely that they all lived in the same house, however.

Phebe had two children when she was forty-two and forty-four years old. John Alvin was born first but was killed when he was kicked by a mule at the age of four. This left Nephi Lorin and by all accounts Phebe doted on him all her life.

Phebe took up midwifery when she was quite young. Since she had no children of her own at that time and traveled long distances to take care of expectant mothers. Even after she had a child of her own she would take him along and go out in the middle of the night to care for the sick. Once she stayed six weeks with a cousin who had Typhoid Fever. The baby took to her so much she took the baby home and cared for her with the rest of the children in the household.

She charged three dollars for delivering a baby and nursing the mother for ten days. Often she would take payment in food or dry goods or whatever the family had. Sometimes she would travel back and forth between two families to deliver the babies and then to dress them. She didn’t quit going until she was sixty-nine or seventy. At that time her husband was ill so she stayed home to take care of him until he died. She is described as a wonderful nurse and always went out when she was called in spite of very bad storms and terrible winds.

Phebe was a Sunday-School teacher for many years of a class of boys, 10 or 12 years old. When she was young she was tall and thin but as she got older she is described as being a large, heavy woman. Her hair was dark brown, her eyes blue, and she had a medium complexion.

When her husband died, he had deeded his property into plots for his children. Phebe retained the house she lived in which was the one that had been given to her by her first husband. She also was deeded some land along with her son, Nephi Lorin. Lorin and his wife, Jemima, moved into part of the house and Phebe lived in the other part. They farmed the land and sold produce off of it until Phebe’s death on October 30, 1895.

Phebe was extremely clean in her house keeping. She was a hard worker and five days before her death she had made preserves. Just before she died she had done the washing outside and the house had become full of steam because of heating the water. She went to a political rally in the evening and upon returning home went to bed with a cold. It turned into pneumonia which caused her death. She is buried in the North Ogden Cemetery.

Phebe left a bible to her son in which she recorded two pages of birth dates of her family and birth and death dates of other family members. We can all be grateful to her for her devotion to record keeping.

PHOEBE ANN CAMPBELL CAMPBELLPhoebe Ann, daughter of John Campbell and Mercy Worden, was born June 17, 1820 in Ridgebury, Bradford county, Pennsylvania. She was the third child in a family of eleven children.She was married in Pennsylvania to a cousin, Isaiah Campbell. They came across the plains in the early 1850\'s and settled in North Ogden, Utah, where other Campbell family members had settled.They lived together for nineteen years, but had no children. They separated when Isaiah became interested in a girl that had arrived from England, which he married. He gave Phoebe Ann the home in North Ogden.Phoebe married again Oct. 13, 1860 to her uncle, Jonathan Campbell, in Salt Lake City. She was 40 years of age but bore two children, John Alvin and Nephi Lorin. John Alvin was kicked by a mule when he was four years old and died. This left Lorin, the apple of her eye, which she raised with loving attention.Phoebe became a midwife and devoted many hours nursing the sick and delivering babies in North Ogden and Pleasant View. She stayed with many mothers for ten days upon a birth, unless she was called to another delivery. She asked $3.00 for her services and was often paid in food or dry goods or whatever the family had. One time, two babies were being born about the same time, one in North Ogden and one in Pleasant View. She traveled back and forth between the two homes and delivered and dress each new child.At home, her sister Abigail, was taking care of the housekeeping and cooking while raising her two girls and Phoebe\'s son.Phoebe taught Sunday School classes of boys, 10 or 12 years of age, for many years. As a young girl she was tall and slim. Her hair was dark brown, her eyes blue, and of medium complexion.Her husband, Jonathan, died November 24, 1886. Before his death he deeded property to Phoebe and Lorin jointly. They divided living quarters, each having their own rooms, and stayed on the property in North Ogden until Phoebe\'s death, October 30, 1895 at the age of 74 years, of pneumonia. She was buried at North Ogden, Utah.

Observations about Isaiah Campbell
By Margaret S. Loosle


Isaiah was born in Ridgebury Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, on 27 of April 1820 according to family records. His parents were Benajiah Campbell and Eunice Button Campbell. They were cousins as she was a Campbell before her marriage.

He married Phebe Ann Campbell when he was about 17 years old. One record, the Temple Index Bureau Card, shows that he was married first to Rachel Fuller. Rachel was married to his older brother so I think it most likely that Phebe was his first wife and the Rachel connection was a mistake. In any case, Phebe claimed she and Isaiah were married 19 years so I have estimated that they were married in about 1837. Her family lived in Pennsylvania but his family was probably living in New York State. Phebe Ann and Isaiah were cousins.

Isaiah joined the Mormon movement only a year and a half after its organization. He was likely instrumental in converting Phebe and her family. Even before their marriage, different members of the family began moving to the Kirkland, Ohio, area to join other Mormons in their quest for Zion. It is not known when they left the Bradford County area but they were still living there in 1840, according to the U S Federal Census. Judging by their location in South Creek Township, that would mean that they were living close to her family. Tax lists show that Isaiah was taxed on a cow in 1840, 1841, and 1842 and nothing thereafter so I suspect they relocated about 1843 and made their way to Nauvoo, Illinois.

Isaiah must have used up the little resources he had because when the majority of the Saints left Nauvoo and crossed Iowa in 1845, he did not leave. In the fall of 1846, mobs entered the city and forced the remainder of the Mormon population across the Mississippi into Iowa. By 1950, we find Isaiah and Phobe living in Burlington, Iowa, which is north of Nauvoo on the Iowa side of the Mississippi. Living in the household are Ira, Phebe Ann, John Nye (who was Phebe’s nephew) and James and Delity Springsteen. Delity was the Isaiah’s first cousin (Ezekiel’s daughter).

Sometime soon after the 1850 census, Isaiah and other Campbell families left Burlington and traveled to Utah. In January of 1854, he married Sarah Susannah Garrard as a plural wife. Family souses tell us that after Sarah started having children, Phebe became dissatisfied because she had no children and after being married for 19 years divorced Isaiah.

Sarah had six children with Isaiah. She claimed he was very mean to her and literally put her and her children out of the house. While married to Sarah, Isaiah married Rosetta Charity Campbell but she did not stay with him long and he may just been taking care of her as she was a widow.

Isaiah then married Susannah Ellen Clark and is found in the 1870 Census living with her and what appears to be eight of her children by previous marriages. They are all listed under Campbell but that is not their real last name. According to temple records he was sealed to Susannah Clark and also her daughter, Ellen, in 1872. There is no evidence that Isaiah had children with anyone else other than Sarah Susannah Garrard. Ellen was married to someone else in 1877.

Isaiah died on 2 May 1899 in North Ogden, Weber, Utah, He is buried in the Ben Lomond Cemetery. You can explore sources of the information presented above in Family Tree. His number is KWJ4-G9C.



Isaiah, the third child of Benajah and Eunice Button Campbell, was born 27 April 1820 at Ridgeberry, Bradford, Pennsylvania. he was one in a family of eleven children. His brothers
and sisters were Joel, John, Phoebe Ann, Sylvester, Lucy, Daniel, Betsy, William, Ammon and Nancy. He grew to manhood under the hardships of pioneering days. He received very little schooling.
The family moved around quite a lot as some of the children were born in Ridgeberry, Bradford, Pennsylvania, some at Bradford, Pennsylvania, some at Hornby, Stuben, New York and two at Wayland, Schyler, New York. While in the East, Isaiah married Rachel Fuller and to them, were born two children, Isaiah and Hannah. They were later divorced.
He then married his cousin Phoebe Ann Campbell, daughter of John and Mercy Worden Campbell. They were married in Pennsylvania in the early 1840's. They had no children and were later divorced. They came across the plains and were among the first settlers of North Ogden.
On 21 January 1854 Isaiah was married to Sarah Susannah Garrard. Sarah Susannah was born 4 February 1832 at Dis, Norfolk, England, the daughter of Timothy and Susannah Evered Quantrille Garrard. To this union six children were born all at North Ogden. They were Isiah Franklin Dewey 1855, Sarah Susannah 1857, Eunice Priscilla 1860, Frederick Robert 1862, Caroline Amelia 1864 and Benajah Rodwell 1867.
Keeping food, clothing and shelter for all took much hard work on the part of the parents and children. The settlement was only three years old and times were very hard and the small community suffered.
There was a large family of Campbells in the community with uncles, brothers and cousins intermingling in civic and church activities.
During this time polygamy was being Practiced and Isaiah took more wives; (4) Rosetta Campbell and (5) Susannah Hathaway 1858 and Some say another (6) Susannah Hathaway 1858. (I wonder if (5) and (6) were the same person.) On 15 February 1869 (3) Sarah Susannah Garrard was granted a divorce From Isaiah and afterward on 25 December 1871 she was married to Greenleaf Blodgett and had a number of children by him. She died 19 December 1914 and \Vas buried at North Ogden, Utah. Little is known of the rest of Isaiah's life and there may be discrepancies. He died 21 May 1899 and was buried at North Ogden, Utah.

A Biography of Jonathan Campbell (1812-1886)
By Margaret S. Loosle - Meridian, Idaho

Jonathan Campbell was born January 12, 1812, in Ridgebury, Bradford County, Pennsylvania.1 His parents were Jonathan Campbell and Phoebe Button and he was the youngest of twelve children. The area where he was born was described by some as a wilderness and consisted of hills and ravines some rising to five hundred feet and heavily wooded with read-oak, chestnut, and white and yellow pine. The township was well watered by Bentley Creek and its tributaries.

Jonathan’s grandfather, Joel, and his father had moved into this area in 1805 or 1806 with several members of their family from Orange County, New York. They settled along Bentley Creek about one mile from the New York State line and begin to clear the land for farming as well as using the timber for their homes.

Little to nothing is known about Jonathan’s growing up years. We can only surmise that he did not attend school because as an adult he could not read or write.3 This was probably due to the fact that schools were some distance from their farm and they may not have had the money to pay the taxes necessary to send their children to school. Jonathan appears on the list of poor children in the 1817 (1816) tax lists of Wells Township.4 Since the family did not leave written accounts, one must depend on the writings of others to determine the living conditions at the time.

Their houses were made of logs and roofed with bark or shakes. They grew corn and were able to make their own maple syrup from the surrounding trees. The woods were abundant with venison, bear, turkey, pigeons, and grouse and there was plenty of trout in the streams. 2 In 1816, however, there was a killing frost every month of the year and was known as the year without a summer. The next winter brought a severe scarcity of food. Although conditions were generally harsh in this area, most of the residents made out quite well and some even accumulated quite a bit of wealth over time.

Jonathan married Charity Fuller in September of 1833 in Ridgebury. The Fuller’s were also pioneers of the area and would have been close neighbors. Charity’s parents were Abiel Fuller and Rachael Campbell. Abiel was active in the First Baptist Church in Wellsburg, New York, and Rachael is also included in the minutes of that Church. Some of the Campbell families are also mentioned but there is no indication that Jonathan ever attended this church.6 This couple could have been married in this Church but there are no records to support this. Charity would have been seventeen and Jonathan twenty-one when they were married.

After they were married, they moved to Catlin, Chemung County, New York. Other Campbell families were living in Catlin so they had support in this area. Their first child was born in July of 1834 and they named him Abial. Abial died in August of that same year.7 By January of 1835 they were back in Ridgebury where their second child was born. This birth was followed by Nephi, born 28 April 1838, Emma born in Aug of 1839 and Alma born November 28, 1842 According to the North Ogden Ward records, Alma was born in Hornby but, if so, it would have meant that the family was moving around rather frequently. The fact that in the tax lists Jonathan is only listed three years in South Creek Township and was not taxed on any property except a horse and two cows leads one to believe that he may have worked with other family members on their farms and did move around where he could find work.


Just when Jonathan and Charity were first in contact with the Mormons is unknown but it was probably before they returned to Ridgebury. Family tradition claims that he was baptized by his brother Benajiah. In any case, it is likely that they joined with others of the family and worshiped in the south west portion of South Creek Township around which is still known to this day as Mormon Hill and Mormon Lake. Almost all of the family slowly left this area in Pennsylvania and joined the Saints in Kirkland, Ohio, and later Nauvoo, Illinois.

In 1842/43 Jonathan, Charity, and their family left the beautiful hills of Pennsylvania, their home since birth, to gather with the Saints in Nauvoo. They were renting a property close to the river in the city of Nauvoo in 1844.8 Jonathan is listed in the Seventies records as residing in the City of Joseph on January 28, 1847 and on December 25 (may have been another year) paid $5.00 for shares in the Seventies Hall.9 A sixth child, William was born in February of 1844 and died the next year in September of 1845. It seems that they spent the more part of two years in Nauvoo leaving with the majority of the Saints and traveled as far a Mt. Pisgah with other Campbell family members.

Family tradition claims that Jonathan was a member of the Nauvoo Legion. He was most certainly a member of the 31st Quorum of the Seventy that was organized in Nauvoo October of 1845. Again family tradition says that he helped build the Temple and was there to see the appointment of Brigham Young to take Joseph’s place as Prophet Seer and Revelator of the Church. It certainly is likely that he did take part in some of the important events of the time and he did leave the city among some of the earliest groups of exiles.

When the call came to form a battalion of men to fight in the Mexican War in May of 1846, Jonathan and his family were either at Mt. Pisgah, Iowa, or at Winter Quarters, Nebraska. Jonathan was in the last company to form, Company E, and was mustered in with the rest of the company in July of 1846.
The march of the Mormon B. is well documented but Jonathan is mentioned in any of the books that were written at the time. His daughter-in-law, Jemima, wrote a short account that he recounted to her.
.
“At Mount Pisgah, not far from Council Bluffs, a Mr. J. Allen of U. S. Army came to the camp of the Saints with papers asking for and wanting four or five companies of Mormon men between the ages of 18 to 45. The men of that age were scattered but Brigham said, “We will furnish them.” He raised the five hundred and some of the women went with their men.”

The heat of that summer was very hot and rations began to get scarce and the water very brackish. Many took Malaria as they had not had enough food (during the) long walk thru the plains of Iowa in bad weather. So many sick (that) the Dr. (we) had gave them Calomel and arsenic. We crossed the Kansas River. Some families were sent to Pueblo. We were then put in two companies at Red River. The first part of October Captain St. George Cooke took command.”

Rations got so scarce that when the mules got so poor they couldn’t go they were killed for food and even the rawhide was made into soup for the soldiers. Water was so scarce on the desert that some times for days and days had none to drink and their lips swelled and their tongues were so swollen. They (many) were weak (and) could hardly travel at all. Their feet were almost bare and their bodies too. Some of them were badly plagued to be so naked.”

On the San Pedro River we saw some wild cattle and the bulls came right in to camp. Some of the mules were gored by the bulls. Some wagons overturned. We hurriedly loaded our guns and when the bulls left we found fifty or sixty dead on the ground. One of the bulls leaving took Colonel Cooks cap on his horn. We had a little fun over that but went to work on the dead bulls. For now we would have plenty of meat.”

We then went thru a Mexican town without any one being molested. Then as we went on we came to a settlement where the Indians were tilling the ground. On January 27, we passed San Luis Ray and two days later arrived at the San Diego Mission. (We) had traveled now over two thousand miles hungry, footsore, and weary but now we camped a few miles below San Diego waiting for the enemy. We done all kind of hard work while stationed in California as the enemy never came to meet us. (We) dug wells made houses from brick (that) we had made. On July 16, 1847, we mustered out of service by Captain Smith. The time of our enlistment was expired and the prophecy of Brigham had been fulfilled that if we kept our bodies clean and free from sin we would not have to be called on to fight. We then wanted to come to Utah to our families. (We) met at Sutter’s Fort and formed a Company to come another route arriving in the Salt Lake Valley October 20, 1847.”

Other published accounts taken from diaries and journals support this information. One such account tells a little more about how they came home. It seems that after discharge in Los Angeles some of the men re-enlisted. The rest of the men formed into hundreds, fifties, and tens, under the leadership of Levi Hancock. There were 223 in this group. They traveled through California’s central valleys, past Sutter’s Fort, into the Sierra Nevada. When they were near Donner Summit, they met James Brown who had a letter from Church authorities telling the men about the destitute situation in the Salt Lake Valley and recommended that they return to California and work a season.

About half of the men turned back to California and half continued on to Salt Lake. There were about 112 in each group and Jonathan was in the group that came on, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley late September-early October 1847. This is recorded in Church History as the Levi W. Hancock/Jefferson Hunt/James Pace/Andrew Lytle Company (1847)11 One might suspect that Jonathan may have gotten word that his wife and baby had died and that his other three children were left motherless and on their own. This may have influenced his decision to come on home when others stayed in California. Jonathan would have been thirty-five years old when he returned from his service in the Army.
Jonathan did suffer an injury while a member of the Mormon Battalion. The following document explains the situation:

Utah Territory
Great Salt Lake County
Be it remembered that on this eighth day of October, AD 1853, personally appeared before me W. L. Appleby the undersigned clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States for the Territory of Utah, Jonathan Campbell, aged 43 years, a resident of Weber County in Utah Territory who first being duly sworn according to law declares upon his oath that he is the identical Jonathan Campbell who was a Private in Company E of the Mormon Battalion commanded by Col. Cook in the late war with Mexico. That he enlisted on the 16th day of July, AD 1846 at Council Bluffs, Iowa for the term of twelve months in the company commanded by Captain Davis in the Mormon Battalion commanded by Col. Cook and was mustered into the service and was marched from thence to California and continued in actual service in the said war with Mexico for the term of twelve months and was mustered out of service at Los Angeles, California on the 16th day of July AD 1847.
That while on the road from Council Bluffs to Los Angeles during the time of his said service and while in the line of duty as a said soldier in the United States driving stock belonging to the Army he put his ankle bone out of joint by stepping over a rolling stone while running after the said stock for the purpose of herding them thereby causing a lameness which has prostrated his bodily health and continued through the remainder of his service and aside from his desire to keep up with his company and return home the route they had designed he was unable and unfit for duty at any time and he is not now able to perform military or any service that demands the use of his limb or ankle above a moderate movement, that he is a farmer and that from the effects of his lameness caused as stated, he is not able to support himself, that he has a wife and six children and that he expects to remain thus afflicted during the remainder of his life. That his last surgeon was Sanderson who was attached to the battalion.

That he makes this declaration to obtain from the United States a pension for life under the provisions of the act of Congress passed May 13, 1846 and all other acts of Congress passed upon the subject as he is wholly dependent upon country for a support.

his
Jonathan X Campbell
mark

In spite of the claims in this document, Jonathan seemed to adjust to his injury and was active until just about a year before he died in his seventies. There is no mention in the histories that were written of him that he had any disability.

To digress, we need to explore what happened to Charity and the children after Jonathan left Council Bluffs. First of all, in November of 1846 their son, Alma, died. In January, Charity gave birth to a girl she named Charity A. Campbell but both the mother and baby died. These two are named on the monument in the cemetery at Winter Quarters. This left three children without parents to take care of them. Emma was taken in by the Philip Klingensmith family but the two boys seemed to fend for themselves. Records are absent as to their situation except for a mention on a petition to the government to create a post office at Kanesville in 1849.

Sometime in 1849, Jonathan married Mrs. Lucinda Shipman Callahan. Lucinda had been married to Thomas Callahan who also marched with The Battalion. However, when they were mustered out, about fifty of the soldiers re-enlisted and stayed in the San Diego area. Thomas was among that number. The family tradition of her family says that she thought that Thomas was dead or that he did not intend to return at all so she asked Brigham Young for permission to marry Jonathan. Actually, Thomas eventually returned to Utah after working twelve years in California. He remarried and died a faithful member of the Church. In any case, Lucinda was a well-respected midwife and had traveled to The Valley with the Willard Richards Company of 1848, among some of the first companies to travel to the Utah Territory.

In October of 1849, Emma Campbell, daughter of Charity and Jonathan, arrived in Salt Lake City with the Philip Klingensmith family in the Howard Egan Company. After hearing that Abial and Nephi, their other remaining children, had been left homeless, Jonathan immediately started for Kanesville to bring his sons to Utah.

After arriving in Kanesville, he started organizing the Campbell families still in Burlington, Iowa, and scattered around the settlements near Council Bluffs. In the Spring of 1850, several Campbell families attached themselves to the Stephen Markham Company. It is not known if Jonathan was a captain in this group but it is likely since he had plenty of experience on the trail. The group reached Salt Lake the 1st of October.

Jonathan found that Lucinda had given birth in March to a girl she named Lucinda Phoebe. Lucinda was already the mother of four children and only twenty six years old when she married Jonathan. One of the children had died in Nauvoo and one she had left in the care of her parents who traveled to Utah in a later company. Eventually, Jonathan and Lucinda had eight children. Three died as infants, one at two years old, and one at thirteen.

In the early fall of 1850, Jonathan, along with Samuel Campbell, a cousin, and John Riddle determined to settle in Odgen Hole (North Ogden). After only a few weeks, there was some trouble with the Indians in the area and they had to retreat into Farr’s Fort in Ogden for the winter. In the spring, they returned and begin building a fort that took in a three by five block area. A History of North Ogden explains that to protect themselves they settled in the Fort area but, as the Indian threat diminished, the settlers spread out, staked out their farm clams and built log cabins and homes, scattered widely throughout the valley. The rock walls of the fort really never were finished.14
Jonathan built their first home from adobe bricks consisting of two rooms and a loft. A resident of North Ogden reports that the adobe houses were built with walls two feet wide and that the bricks were fired and not sun baked.15 According to a plat of early settlers, Jonathan had two homes within the block between what is now 2600 & 2550 North and 500 & 550 East. His farm property was just south of there and was bordered on what is now Washington Avenue on the west. This homestead was about a mile long and one-quarter mile wide which would be 160 acres. Some say that he held land all the way north to the Union Cemetery but sold off the property that fell within the townsite.

Several Campbell families were early settlers in this area. Those included Jonathan’s older brother, John and his two sons Jared and Grant. Also at least three cousins settled in North Ogden. Family tradition holds that Jonathan promoted the area to his family. Some of the family moved on to other settlements but Jonathan stayed, planted fruit trees, built homes, and was certainly a force in the development of the town as they built a church, a school, and businesses. He was appointed by the Weber County Court on April 12, 1852, as “Supervisor” of the Ogden Hole settlement. The early town government was a pure democracy and the society was self-sustaining and independent.

In 1856, the settlers started building a canal to keep the water from running off into the river and going to waste. Jonathan, Solomon, Jared, Isaiah, and Grant Campbell were all part of the effort to dig the canal. The North Ogden Canal ran through a corner of Jonathan’s property and is still in use today by the farmers of the area.

Jonathan was ordained a High Priest 2 Feb 1853 by J. Young, and C. Dalton. What event, if any, precipitated this ordination is not known. The North Ogden Branch was formed in December of 1852 but what, if any, responsibilities Jonathan held in the Church is not recorded.

Polygamy was practiced by several of the families in North Ogden. On October 13, 1860, Jonathan married his niece, Phebe Ann Campbell. They were 48 and 40 years old, respectively. Phebe had been married to her cousin, Isaiah Campbell, for about nineteen years but did not have any children. They were divorced when Phebe became dissatisfied as Isaiah took another wife and began to have children with his new wife. Lucinda, in turn, apparently did not find Jonathan’s marriage to Phebe Ann satisfactory because she divorced Jonathan in 1864. Lucinda received an amount of land, goods, cattle, and a house in the settlement. Some years later, they were remarried but, according to family tradition, they never lived together again and Lucinda spent most of the rest of her years living with her children. She died in Lewisville, Idaho, in 1906 at the home of her son, Jonathan (III).

In spite of their advancing years, Phebe and Jonathan had two boys. Sadly the older was killed in an accident with a horse when only four years old.

It seems that Jonathan turned his original adobe house into a barn and built another one on the same block. His original acreage was reduced slowly by giving pieces to his children and even some to others for businesses. His daughter-in-law wrote, “Jonathan was a full tithe payer and paid his fast offering every fast day. (He) was a very honest man in his dealings with his neighbors and would rather over pay than under pay. His tithes and offerings were paid from produce from his farm. (He) was blessed with plenty and always asked the Lord to bless his crops and land that they may yield enough for him and family and spare if anyone was in need of help. He was called to administer to the sick and many (were) healed through his faith.”

He loved to dance and went to dances till the last year of his life. (He) was the first to have a light wagon or buggy in North Ogden. He farmed his own land most every year till past seventy two then his health failed and he had to just do the best he could to get the work done. (He) done good to every one who knew him and was honest in his dealings.” Another family account claimed that he always prayed over his fields by raising both hands high above his head and was never known to have a crop failure.

Jonathan was the father of seventeen children. Only ten reached adulthood. He helped raise two of Lucinda’s children and often had grandchildren and other relatives in his home. He was sealed to perhaps four other women besides Charity, Lucinda, and Phebe Ann; however, it is difficult to be sure. Family tradition claims that he never lived with any of these women but they were either already deceased or he was just assigned to take care of them. He has a large posterity living today.

Jonathan Campbell died at the age of seventy five years and eight months on the 24th of November 1886. He left his remaining property to Phebe Ann and her son, Nephi Lorin. His life was summarized in his obituary in the Deseret News ending with “He died as he had lived—a faithful, true Latter-Day Saint.”

Regiment History: NEW YORK
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY
(Three Years)
One Hundred and Twenty-first Infantry.-Cols., Richard Franchot,
Emory Upton, Egbert Olcott; Lieut.-Cols., Charles H. Clark,
Egbert Olcott, Henry M. Galpin, James W. Cronkhite, John S.
Kidder; Majs., Egbert Olcott, Andrew E. Mather, Henry M. Galpin,
James W. Cronkhite, John S. Kidder.
This regiment, recruited in the counties of Otsego and Herkimer,
rendezvoused at Herkimer and was there mustered into the U. S.
service for three years on Aug. 23, 1862, and in May, 1863, the
three years men of the 18th, 27th, 31st, 16th and 32nd N. Y.
infantry were transferred to it.
The regiment left the state Sept. 2, 1862, and was immediately
assigned to the 2nd (Bartlett's) brigade, 1st (Brooks') division,
6th corps, with which command it continued during its entire term
of service. It joined McClellan's army in Maryland and was
present but not active at the battle of Crampton's gap.
The 6th corps was only partially engaged at the battle of
Fredericksburg, though the 121st lost a few killed and wounded by
the artillery fire to which it was exposed. The regiment fought
with great gallantry and was exposed to a deadly musketry fire at
Salem Church Va., where it lost 48 killed, 173 wounded and 55
missing, out of 453 officially reported as present.
All except 23 of those reported missing were killed, and the loss
was the greatest sustained by any regiment in the battle. Col.
Franchot resigned in Sept., 1862, and under his successor Col.
Upton, an unusually efficient officer, the excellent material of
the regiment was molded into a finely disciplined organization.
Col. Upton was promoted to Bvt. brigadier-general in Oct., 1864,
and achieved an enviable reputation in the war. The regiment was
in reserve at Gettysburg and was not again engaged with loss
until the 6th corps returned to Virginia, when it lost 25 killed
and wounded at the battle of Rappahannock Station in Nov., 1863.
It was not heavily engaged during the Mine Run campaign, at the
close of which it went into winter quarters at Brandy Station.
In May, 1864, the regiment moved on the bloody campaign of Gen.
Grant, crossing the Rapidan on the 5th, and plunging into the
sanguinary struggle of the Wilderness, where it lost 73 in
killed, wounded and missing.
In the battle of Spottsylvania Col. Upton commanded and led in
person an assaulting column of twelve picked regiments belonging
to the 6th corps, the 121st being placed in the advance, an honor
which cost it dear. The losses of the regiment at Spottsylvania
amounted to 49 Killed,, 106 wounded.
In the magnificent charge of Upton's storming party, the strong
works of the enemy were carried after a hand-to-hand struggle.
Said Gen. Upton in a private letter: "Bayonet wounds and sabre
cuts are very rare. But at Spottsylvania there were plenty of
bayonet wounds, and no picture could give too exalted an idea of
the gallantry of the 121st N. Y., 5th Me., and 96th Pa., as they
led the assaulting column of twelve picked regiments over the
formidable intrenchments which confronted them."
The regiment was successively engaged at North Anna, Totopotomy,
Cold Harbor, the first assaults on Petersburg, and the Weldon
railroad. When Early menaced Washington in July, the veterans of
the 6th corps were ordered there to confront him, and the 121st
was engaged at Fort Stevens with a loss of 26 in killed, wounded
and missing.
It followed with the corps in pursuit of Early through Maryland,
into Virginia, and up the Shenandoah Valley, fighting at
Charlestown, the Opequan, Fisher's hill, and Cedar creek, its
loss in the last named battle amounting to 10 killed, 42 wounded
and 5 missing.
The 1st division was commanded by Gen. Wright at the Wilderness;
by Gen. Russell at the Opequan; and by Gen. Wheaton at Cedar
creek. In Dec., 1864, the regiment returned to the Petersburg
trenches and established winter quarters near the Weldon
railroad. It took a prominent part in the final assault on the
fortifications of Petersburg, April 2, 1865, and in the hot
pursuit of Lee's army, during which it lost 34 killed and
wounded, and fought its last battle at Sailor's creek.
The regiment captured 4 flags at Rappahannock Station and 2 at
Sailor's creek. It was mustered out at Hall's hill, Va., under
Col. Olcott, June 25, 1865. It took part in 25 great battles,
and gloriously earned its title as an efficient and dashing
fighting regiment.
Its total enrollment during service was 1,897, of whom 14
officers and 212 enlisted men were killed and mortally wounded; 4
officers and 117 enlisted men, died of disease and other causes.
Its total of 226 killed is 11.9 per cent. of its membership, and
its total of 839 killed and wounded was one of the largest
sustained by any regiment.

The regiment left the State September 2, 1862; it served
in the 2d Brigade, 1st Division, 6th Corps, from September 9,
1862, and it was mustered out and honorably discharged, under
Col. Egbert Olcott, June 25, 1865, at Hall's Hill, Va.

Gettysburg after battle report:
Report of Col. Emory Upton, One hundred and twenty-first New
York Infantry.
Hdqrs. 121st New York Volunteers, August 6, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to make the following report of the participation
of the Second Brigade while under my command in the operations
around Gettysburg, Pa.:
The evening of July 1, I received orders from Brig. Gen. J. J.
Bartlett to take command of the brigade.
It commenced its march from near Manchester, Md., toward Taneytown
about 10 p. m. Arriving near Westminster, its destination was
changed to Gettysburg, where it arrived about 3.30 p. m., having
marched since the preceding evening 32 miles.
The brigade rested about three hours, when it was ordered to reenforce
that part of our line which was engaged near Round Top
Mountain. While on its march to that point, I was relieved from
the command by Gen. Bartlett.
I know nothing of the operations of the brigade that evening or
the ensuing day, excepting so far as relates to my own regiment,
which took position in line of battle to support a battery to the right

Notes:

The following information is reported to be written by one of William's siiblings. I found it among records in my father's (Jay Wilson Casper) family history files. I do not know when it was written or how the information came to him. Nancy was married and divorced before she met Charles Card.

Franklin Pierce married Nancy Campbell and they came over the pioneer trail to Utah. After they cam here Mr. Pierce decided to go back east. Grandmother Nancy had one son Frances. She refused to leave the saints and go back to Illinois. So he (Franklin) went back and left her after getting a divorce. Nancy met Charley Card, my mother's father. They fell in love and married. Nancy raised her boy as one of the family until Francis was a young man of about 20 years. He came to Idaho and look up a homestead over in Annis, Idaho.

George Francis Pierce was born January 7, 1829 at Maidstone, Kent, England, the son of Thomas Pierce and Mary Butler. He had two sisters. His father died when he was about two years old. His mother married again when George was about eleven years old. The family sailed to America somewhere between 1841 and 1845. The family ended up in Wayne County, New York. For a time the family lived in Palmyra, New York near the Hill Cumorah where the Latter-day Saint prophet, Joseph Smith, received the golden plates from the Angel Moroni. George spent part of his boyhood days near this sacred spot.

Later George went south across the boarder to Pennsylvania where he worked as an errand boy for a drug store. Here he picked up valuable information on mixing medicines and salves. In Pennsylvania he heard Mormon Elders preaching the Gospel and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was baptized in 1856.



That same year George married Nancy Campbell on October 31, 1856 at Liberty, McKean, Pennsylvania. There were born to them two sons--Francis Marion Pierce, May 1, 1857; and Thomas Caton Pierce, born May 1859 (died May 8, 1861). George and Nancy separated and were divorced. He joined the Mormon immigrants and came to Ogden, Utah in Captain Brown's Company. (George's mother and sister, Sarah, remained in Wayne County, New York [where their husband's farmed] the rest of their lives.



George filled an honorable LDS mission in New York. On his return to Utah he brought many valuable papers and news from the East. At that time there was no communication with the East, only by Pony Express. If during this mission he tried to persuade his family into accepting his new faith, it appears he was unsuccessful.



Out west George had many experiences with the Indians, who were sometimes friendly and sometimes hostile. George understood the valuable use of herbs, how to cook them, and the usefulness in case of illness. He made a salve that was very helpful for infected sores and bruises.



In September 1863 George met and married Jane Nancy Romriell Hammond. He was her second husband. Her first husband, John Joseph Hammond, left her a widow with a child after only two years of marriage. She did not know that she was expecting another child when he died. Matilda was born eight months after John Hammond died. Jane supported herself and her daughters by gleaning wheat in the field before her marriage to George Pierce. He cared for her little girls as though they were his own. She was sealed to George Pierce in the Endowment House on June 19, 1871, as were her two daughters by John Hammond.



They made their home in North Ogden where they kept a grocery store. Later they moved to a farm on West 2nd Street known as Bingham's Fort. This fort was built with a high wall to protect the settlers from the Indians. Here they reared their family. Jane and George had eight children as follows:

Caroline Sophia, born September 4, 1867

George Thomas, born December 16, 1869

Eliza Rebecca, born October 31, 1871

Benjamin Franklin, born September 9, 1873

Elizabeth, born and died October 8, 1875

Porter Marion, born September 21, 1877 (He was excommunicated from the Church June 4, 1923 and joined the Jehovah's Witnesses and never returned to the Mormon Church)

Frederick Abraham, born December 15, 1879

Bertha, born November 22, 1881, died August 11, 1882



George Pierce died a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on November 29, 1897 in Ogden, Utah. He was sixty-eight years of age at the time of his death. He died of Pneumonia.
