Walter Bosley born before 1670 and living in Baltimore County, Maryland was like most early Colonists, a tobacco farmer. He is listed in one account as a sawyer, in today's terms we would call him a lumberjack. The word sawyer in old writings has been misread as Lawyer by some researchers and others wanting to add prestige to this have claimed he was a Barrister. Our Walter held no such status and was found renting to own land as is the case of 75 acres of "Arthur's Choice" purchased from John Greer & Ann (Taylor) Greer. Walter evidently was a hard working man as he quickly obtained a few hundred acres. No doubt this was instilled in his 5 sons who also increased their land ownership. We will be tracing what is believed to be the descendants of these 5 sons of Walter Bosley and his wife Mary Elizabeth. Mary Elizabeth's maiden name is also a mystery. Tracing her back through land she obviously owned and sold after Walter's death, that at one time belonged to the Hill family has left us with a suggestion that her name was either Hill, Bird or Love. Also in question is why Walter purchased land in partnership with William Welch, was it strictly economical or was there a family tie? The answer for now is unknown. In looking at early tax lists, Walter Bosley and William Bosley are both listed in 1699 at Middle River Hundred. In 1705 Walter is listed at So Side of Gun Powder and no sign of William. There is also a John Bosley, who was a witness to the Will of Wm. Hensey in Charles Co. in 1684. An old book "History of Baltimore" by J. Thomas Scharff, published in 1881, page 884 in part says "Five Bosley brothers came to Maryland in the days of the second Lord Proprietary" The family...,is descended from seven brothers who emigrated in 1638 from England" If this telling is true then we probably would never be able to directly trace Walter Bosley back to England. With his first son born 1694 and his fifth in 1714, it is doubtful he was one of the emigrating brothers. -Eileen Colgan

Livingston County, New York, was formed from Ontario County and Genesee County in 1821. Births or deaths in this family before that time were Ontario County; births or deaths after 1821 were Livingston County. Big Tree is the former name of Geneseo.

John Bosley also lived in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, where several of his children were born.

FORT BOSLEY, OR BOSLEY'S MILLS. Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. Fort Bosley was situated in the forks of the Chillisquaqua, at Washingtonville, Derry township, Montour county, and was the grist mill of a Mr. Bosley, who moved here from Maryland a few years before the Revolution, bringing his slaves with him. He built the mill, it is said, in 1773; it is supposed he fortified (stockaded) the mill in 1777; upon the Indians becoming troublesome it was garrisoned by troops and recognized by the military authorities as of importance. After the fall of Fort Freeland it became more so, holding the forks of the Chillisquaque and defending the stream below it. The Chillisquaque Valley and its surroundings are among the most beautiful in the State. At Washingtonville, the main stream is formed by one considerable branch coming from the Muncy Hills, following through the rich lime stone lands to the south. The east branch here joins it, making a fine stream that then flows southwesterly to the river. This great scope of fine arable lands attracted settlers early, Bosley's Mills became a necessity, and, situated as it was, within the forks about sixty to eighty rods above the junction of the branches, on the east bank of the North Branch of these streams. It soon became widely known; roads and paths led to it as a central point, and on the Indians becoming troublesome and the mill fortified, it became a haven of refuge at which the wives and families could be placed in safety at alarms, while the husband and father scouted for intelligence of the foe or defended the fort. As Bosley's Mills do not appear to have had a heavy garrison of troops (twenty men at most) at any time, the garrison was most probably augmented by the near settlers, of which there was quite a number. It must have been strong, as we have no account of any attack on the place, lying as it does below the great war path through or over the Muncy Hills, it must have been looked upon by the foe as strong. Col. Hunter to Prest. Reed, dated Fort Augusta, 26, 1779, says: "Your favor of ye 2d Inst. I received by Mr. Martin and I am sorry to acquaint you it was not in my power to send any of the Ranging Company to assist at Guarding the stores up here from Estherton, as what few men Capt. Kemplon had under his command was stationed at Bosley's Mills on Chilisquaqua." (See Penna. Archives, vol. vii, p. 510.) Lieut. Col. Weltner to Board of War, dated Northumberland, April 9, 1780, says: "I have this moment received an express from the West branch, about 12 miles from this Town that the Indians have killed and scalped one man and two children, took one woman prisoner, but she happily made her escape from them in the night. The country is very much alarmed, and likely to go to the flight as they cannot be supplied with provisions, ammunition or flints, as these commodities being so very scarce. I have manned three material outposts, viz: Fort Jenkins, Fort Montgomery and Bosley's Mills. It is out of my power to scatter my men any more, as I have scarcely as many in Town as will man 2 pieces of artillery."

THE PEOPLE of the state of New York, by the Grace of God , Free and Independent . To all whom these Presents shall come greetings. Whereas James Bosley and Susannah Bosley Administrators of John Bosley late of Geneseo in the County of Ontario deceased did on the twenty fifth day of January last present their petition to our Surrogate of our County of Ontario setting forth what said John Bosley at the time of his death was seized of certain real estate in the county fore said that the petitioners have fully Administered and applied such property of the personal estate of the said John Bosley as hath come to their hands to be Administered towards payment of the debts of said John Bosley is insufficient to pay his debts. Therefore the Petitioners requested the aid of the said Surrogate in his presence and that so much of the real estate whereof the said John Bosley did seize as would be sufficient to pay his debts might be sold in furtherance of the act in such case made and provided whereupon the said Surrogate made an order requiring all persons interested in the estate of the said John Bosley to show cause why before him at his dwelling house in Canandaigua on the first Monday in May instant who so much of the real estate whereof the said John Bosley did seize as would be sufficient to pay his debts should not be sold.

The part of the said land to be sold to be border north east & west by the outline of said hundred acres & south by a line drawn parallel to the north line of said lot of land and in case of a part of said land shall not be sufficient to raise the said sum then the whole of said hundred acres is ordered to be sold for the purpose aforesaid.

A marriage between a John Bosley and a Susannah Price took place in Baltimore on July 27, 1785. With 3 deeds calling out the wife as Susannah I think there is a pretty good chance he had a second wife. The ladies who applied to the DAR years ago may have known something we don't know. I had a search conducted in the vicinity of Washingtonville for a grave for Hannah Bosley with no luck. I have not attempted to find the record in Baltimore that might support the marriage in 1785.

Edmund Bosley 30 Jan 1872 (Mount Morris, NY)

From a book in the Baltimore Historical Society (Family Tree Research - by Walter Quinn Bosley & Thomas W. Bosley). Edmund Bosley was born in Northumberland, Pennsylvania. His marriage took place in Ontario Co., New York. Edmund remained in New York and took over ownership and management of his father's farm. Edmund erected a new mill in place of the old one, which had been burned, and besides generating this engaged in the mercantile business, continuing the busy employment until 1834, when he sold out and moved to Ohio. All his children were born in Livingston Co., New York. After farming a few years in Ohio, he may have temporarily lived in Pike Co., Illinois before finally settling in Council Bluffs, Iowa. His death occurred December 15, 1846 in Winter Quarters, Nebraska. His wife, the former Ann Kelley, died May 12, 1849. She was born in Pennsylvania. October 29, 1778. Her father, Daniel Kelley, a native of Pennsylvania, located about the year 1792 in what is now the town of Geneseo, New York, where he became a farmer and passed the remainder of his life.

A Brief History of the Mormon Church of which Edmund Bosley was a member.

The Mormon movement owes its inception to one man: Joseph Smith Jr., who was born in Vermont in late 1805. The Smith family found it difficult to earn a living on the frontier. So in 1816, they moved to Palmyra, New York, which was their twentieth move since Joseph's birth... Joseph Smith Jr. was a product of all the currents of thought that pervaded Western New York during this period. A popular topic of conversation was the identification of the "true" church. Most believers were convinced that their

system of faith was correct and would not hesitate to begin a new splinter group to prove their point. Joseph set about to solve the problem... Smith finally published the Book of Mormon in 1830. Then, he

claims, the angel recovered the plates, and they are no longer to be seen. Less than two weeks after the publication of the Book of Mormon, on April 6, 1830, in Fayette, New York, the "Church of Christ" was started with six members. Joseph was designated "Seer, a translator, a Prophet, an Apostle of Jesus Christ." When persecution evicted the tiny church from New York, they fled to Kirtland, Ohio, their headquarters from 1831 to 1837. Consolidation and growth took place, and they erected a large temple. Completed in 1836, this temple still stands. Today the Reorganized branch owns it... They went to Independence, Missouri, next... Through hostile persecution and finally governmental force, the Mormons were pushed out of Missouri... Arriving on the swampy banks of the Mississippi forty-five miles north of Quincy, Illinois, the Mormon settlers by 1844 had erected a complete city of twenty thousand inhabitants including its own military and judicial system (Nauvoo, Illinois). A million-dollar temple was erected that was later destroyed by fire. The Mormons lived in relative peace until 1844 when a group became disgruntled or disillusioned with Smith's pronouncements and practices... Joseph and his brother Hyrum were jailed. On June 27, 1844, the two were killed while defending themselves from an irate mob whom stormed the jail. Smith's death, while it was followed by a brief period of confusion and disorganization, became a rallying point for the Mormons... Brigham Young was chosen as their new president... It was Young who led the westward trek. Young's leadership was very important in overcoming the despondency, cold, poverty and Indians. He led in transforming the Valley of the Great Salt Lake into a flourishing agricultural area. At the time of his death, there were over 140,000 Mormons.

Volume 2, pages 43-44 The Early Years in New York

When it says "I" in the diary, it is Joseph Smith speaking -- these are exerpts from Joseph's journal/log.

Wednesday 12 {March, 1834} – We arrived at Father Bosley’s, after a ride of thirty-six miles.

Sunday 16 – Elder Rigdon preached to a large congregation in Geneseo, Elder Pratt preached in the afternoon of Monday, the 17th. There was also the same day, March 17, a conference of Elders at Avon, Livingston county, New York, at the house of Alvah Beaman, which I attended. There were present also Sidney Rigdon, Parley P. Pratt, Lyman Wight, John Murdock, Orson Pratt and Orson Hyde, High Priests; and six Elders. I stated that the object of the Conference was to obtain young and middle-aged men to go and assist in the redemption of Zion, according to the commandment; and for the Church to gather up their riches, and send them to purchase lands according to the commandment of the Lord; also to devise means, or obtain money for the relief of the brethren in Kirtland, say two thousand dollars, which sum would deliver the Church in Kirtland from debt; and also determine the course which the several companies shall pursue, or the manner they shall journey when they shall leave this place. It was voted by the Council, that Fathers Bosley and Nickerson, Elder McWithey, and Brother Roger Orton, should exert themselves to obtain two thousand dollars, for the present relief of Kirtland. They all agreed to do what they could to obtain it, firmly believing that it could be accomplished by the first of April. It was also decided the Elder Orson Hyde should tarry and preach in the regions round about, till the money should be obtained, and then carry it with him to Kirtland. It was also voted that I should return to Kirtland, accompanied by Elders Sidney Rigdon and Lyman Wight. Elders John Murdock and Orson Pratt were appointed to journey to Kirtland, preaching by the way; and Elders Parley P. Pratt and Henry Brown to visit the churches in Black river country, and obtain all the means they could to help Zion.

Tuesday, March 18 – Tarried at Father Bosley’s through the day.

Volume 2, page 161

{entry starting on September 2, 1834} On the 4th, Elder Edmund Bosley said that, if he could obtain the management of his property, in one year, he would consecrate it for the printing of the word of the Lord.

Volume 2, pages 205-206 {referring to the building of the Temple in Kirtland, Ohio}

March 7, 1835 This day a meeting of the Church of Latter-Day Saints was called for the purpose of blessing, in the name of the Lord, those who have heretofore assisted in building, by their labor and other means, the House of the Lord in this place. The morning was occupied by President Joseph Smith, Jun., in teaching the Church the propriety and necessity of purifying itself. In the after noon, the names of those who had assisted to build the house were taken, and further

instructions received from President Smith. He said that those who had distinguished themselves thus far by consecrating to the upbuilding of the House of the Lord, as well as laboring thereon, were to be remembered; that those who build it should own it, and have the control of it. After further remarks, those who performed the labor on the building voted unanimously that they would continue to labor thereon, till the house should be completed. President Sidney Rigdon was appointed to lay on hands and bestow blessing in the name of the Lord. The Presidents were blessed; and Reynolds Cahoon, Hyrum Smith, and Cared Carter, the building committee, though the last two were not present, yet their rights in the house were preserved. The following are the names of those who were blessed in consequence of their labor on the house of the lord in Kirtland, and those who consecrated to it upbuilding: 119 names listed – including: Edmund Bosley and William Bosley The blessings and ordinations of particular individuals of the foregoing were as follows:……..Thomas Burdick, Truman Wait and Edmund Bosley were blessed, and Elder Bosley was told that god had a work for him, viz.: to go and preach the Gospel to the sectarian priests of this age, to call after them and hunt them up, wherever he could hear of them, and preach the Gospel to them whether they will hear or forbear. William Bosley and William Berry were blessed and ordained elders.

Volume 2, page 236 {referring to July 9, 1835} On the 9th I rode to Cleveland, in company with Elder Cowdery and others. On the 14th a charge was preferred against Elder Edmund Bosley, to a council of the Presidency, for unchristian-like conduct, in breaking a certain sacred covenant, made September 4, 1834. President Oliver Cowdery testified that he himself framed the covenant alluded to, and that at the time when Bosley said that he had a witness that it was the will of the Lord that he should consecrate the surplus of his property over and above what would be needful for his and his family’s support. Bishop Whitney stated that Elder Bosley agreed to let the Presidency and others have money on loan, for the printing of the Revelations, if he could control his property in one year, or, as soon as he obtained it. Decided that Elder Bosley broke the covenant which he made September 4, 1834 – therefore he is not a member of this Church, unless he make satisfaction to those whom he injured. (He must have made satisfaction.)

Mormon Trail to Salt Lake City

The Mormons left the area on what is known as the Mormon Trail. The Mormon Trail actually starts in Nauvoo, Illinois, where the majority of the church members lived. Most took the same path to reach the Grand Encampment, Kanesville and Florence, Nebraska, areas, however there were some deviations. Since some Mormons lived in areas surrounding Nauvoo, other parts of Illinois, and the country, trails reaching the Missouri ended at Nebraska City, Plattsmouth, and Kanesville. Likewise, when leaving the

area, there are two paths taken, both hugging the Platte River, one on each side. Historic maps indicate the Mormons crossed the Missouri at two places, Plattsmouth and Nebraska City, both called the Mormon Trail. Both trails join together in Otoe County before following the Platte River along its south side throughout the state. This was the earliest trail used, actually before the Winter Quarters era. From around Fort Kearney, the same trail was used by people seeking their fortunes in Oregon and nearby

areas on the west coast, thereby being called the Oregon Trail. The northern path leaves the Florence area and takes an almost bee-line path to the area around Fremont where it starts on the northern side of

the Platte River and sticks with it for most of the state, and on into Wyoming. The only deviation being between Columbus and Grand Island. At Columbus, the (collective) Loup Rivers feeds the Platte River from the North. Since the Mormons were traveling on the northern edge they continued on with the North Loup River on its North side until finally a decision was made to travel south and join back in with the Platte River around Grand Island. The northern side of the Platte was chosen to avoid the Mormon's persecutors traveling west on the southern side and because the southern side would cause more competition for grazing lands and camp sites along the way. The Mormons settled in places along the way. Genoa, on the Mormon Trail west of Columbus, became one of the Mormon settlements to remain after most had traveled on to Salt Lake Valley.

According to Malin Family history Elijah Malin, Jr., was to take his and Samuel Malin's parents to Utah. He was on a Mission in PA and stopped in St. Louis to see Mary Ann and Sam, who were living there, on his way back home. He became ill and died there. They had not made up their mind about going to Utah, but when he died, Sam agreed to take his parents. There is a Bible entry on Anne Bosley dying in Jefferson City. It looks like Ann and George William may have been in St. Louis with Mary Ann and Sam. There is some opinion that she died on the way to Utah. Jefferson City is up the Missouri River from St. Louis and on the way to Omaha, Kanesville, Council Bluffs, and Winter Quarters, so if they were going by boat she could have died on the way to Utah. They could have brought the body along and buried her in Winter Quarters with Edmund. So Brother and Sister Bosley were lying there side by side. There is note of their burial, but nothing on the sextants records. Council Bluffs Malin was born at this time.

Rebecca Card married Dana Walton on the 14th of February, 1851, and on April 25, they left their home to cross the plains for Salt Lake City. Rebecca and her husband, with her husband’s father and brother joined an organized company at Council Bluffs. She tells part of her story in her own words. "When we arrived at Winter Quarters, there was not much left of that historic place; a few old chimneys were still standing--the wild mustard had grown and completely covered the ground. It was as tall as the chimneys and was in full bloom. We camped at this place two nights. My husband and I visited the City of the Dead. There at rest we found old Brother Bosley and his wife. This was a great surprise to my husband, as the winter before the Saints left Nauvoo, he and his father had worked for Mr. Bosley."

The interesting thing is that Ann is listed as the daughter of Daniel Kelley and Elizabeth Baxter.

Ann Bosley is listed as living at Winters Quarters, Nebraska, in Ward 15, Block 35, under Bishop Isaac Clark, in 1848. She is a widow.

Brother and Sister Bosley are listed as buried at Winters Quarters, Nebraska, on the cemetery plaque, but there is nothing in the sextants records. Visitors in 1851 noted that Brother and Sister Bosley were lying there side by side, also.

According to Malin Family history Elijah Malin, Jr., was to take his and Samuel Malin's parents to Utah. He was on a Mission in PA and stopped in St. Louis to see Mary Ann and Sam, who were living there, on his way back home. He became ill and died there. They had not made up their mind about going to Utah, but when he died, Sam agreed to take his parents. There is a Bible entry on Anne Bosley dying in Jefferson City. It looks like Ann and George William may have been in St. Louis with Mary Ann and Sam. There is some opinion that she died on the way to Utah. Jefferson City is up the Missouri River from St. Louis and on the way to Omaha, Kanesville, Council Bluffs, and Winter Quarters, so if they were going by boat she could have died on the way to Utah. They could have brought the body along and buried her in Winter Quarters with Edmund. So Brother and Sister Bosley were lying there side by side. There is note of their burial, but nothing on the sextants records. Council Bluffs Malin was born at this time.

Rebecca Card married Dana Walton on the 14th of February, 1851, and on April 25, they left their home to cross the plains for Salt Lake City. Rebecca and her husband, with her husband’s father and brother joined an organized company at Council Bluffs. She tells part of her story in her own words. "When we arrived at Winter Quarters, there was not much left of that historic place; a few old chimneys were still standing--the wild mustard had grown and completely covered the ground. It was as tall as the chimneys and was in full bloom. We camped at this place two nights. My husband and I visited the City of the Dead. There at rest we found old Brother Bosley and his wife. This was a great surprise to my husband, as the winter before the Saints left Nauvoo, he and his father had worked for Mr. Bosley."

"Saints in Exile", page 88: Winter Quarters Nebraska

Wednesday, December 17, 1845: Sixty nine people received their endowments on this day: ....Edmund and Ann Kelly Bosley....

Thursday, December 18, 1845: Elijah, Eliza, and Sarah Malin received their ordinances.

Monday, November 2, 1846, Eleanor Pack Bosley, wife of William B. Bosley, died, age 31.

"Women of the Nauvoo Relief Society, 1842-1844", Mormon Historical Studies, by Maurine Ward.

Bosley, Ann; 27 May 1842; Ann Kelley; b. 29 Oct, 1779, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania; parents: Daniel Kelley and Elizabeth Baxter; m. Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois, to Edmund Bosley; died 12 May 1849, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa." This is contrary to the bible entry that has her dying in Jefferson City, Missouri. Her marriage here is her temple marriage.

Burial: Aft. May 12, 1849, Winter Quarters, Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska

They were married in 1799 in New York.

The marriage was sealed as a temple marriage in 1846.

January 1st, A. D., 1834. This day I felt some of the effects of the fever and ague.

January 2nd. The Church met according to previous appointment. Four high priests and three elders were present. After the meeting was opened we explained the reasons why E. Landen was cut off. The following persons requested their names to be taken from the Church record of names, viz.: Lester More, Daniel More, Letitia Bosby, Aaron Clark, Rodman Clark, Polly Kelly. The Church therefore were called upon to raise their hands against them and they were cutoff.

January 3rd. Attended a meeting at the Brick Schoolhouse in Avon. Brother Amasa preached.

January 5th. Being the Sabbath, preached at the schoolhouse near Brother Orton's upon the vision.

January 6th. Held a church meeting and the following persons were cut for disbelieving the work and bad conduct: Hannah More, Albert More, Masy More, John Bosely, Ruby Landen, John Heth.

January 9th. Attended a prayer meeting at Brother Bosley's.

Lettie HAMER Sex: F Event(s): Born: 29 Mar 1804 Geneva', 'New York Parents: Father: Thomas Jr. HAMER Mother: Hannah MCNEALL Film Number: 1985591. This information agrees with her birth date in the family bible.

There are various forms for Lettecia's name. Letty is the form used in the Thomas Hamer (1766) family bible. Letitia was the form used by her aunt, Letitia McNeal, and others. Daisy Evans Padgett made a good argument for the spelling "Lettie", and this is found in the LDS records. Lettecia is the form which she used in signing her last will and testament.

According to one Hamer family tradition, Lettie Hamer came to Indiana about 1828/1829 with her brothers James and Joseph, and her father, Thomas Hamer Jr. (b1766). Another tradition has them coming from Ohio rather than New York. She married a Bausley/Bosley and later moved to Ottawa, Kansas, according to tradition, as well. We know that Lettie married John Bosley in New York and came to Ohio about 1830. After John's death she went to Ottawa Kansas to be with her children who had moved West. She returned to Ohio and died at the home of her daughter, Laura. Her granddaughter, Clara Harrington Blinn, was kidnapped in an Indian raid in Colorado and was killed in an Indian battle in Oklahoma.

Orson Pratt's journal:

January 1st, A. D., 1834. This day I felt some of the effects of the fever and ague.

January 2nd. The Church met according to previous appointment. Four high priests and three elders were present. After the meeting was opened we explained the reasons why E. Landen was cut off. The following persons requested their names to be taken from the Church record of names, viz.: Lester More, Daniel More, Letitia Bosby, Aaron Clark, Rodman Clark, Polly Kelly. The Church therefore were called upon to raise their hands against them and they were cutoff.

January 3rd. Attended a meeting at the Brick Schoolhouse in Avon. Brother Amasa preached.

January 5th. Being the Sabbath, preached at the schoolhouse near Brother Orton's upon the vision.

January 6th. Held a church meeting and the following persons were cut for disbelieving the work and bad conduct: Hannah More, Albert More, Masy More, John Bosely, Ruby Landen, John Heth.

January 9th. Attended a prayer meeting at Brother Bosley's.

We found another bible, this one my grandmother's. I think the relevant information was probably copied from Samuel Malin's Bible but it still helps some. For one thing, on her birth list she has Almira Bosley, and on her death list, Almira Turner, lending support to the idea that Turner was not a middle name but that Almira married a Turner. Looking at her record reminds me that I was having a senior moment when I thought Almira could have died in 1849 in St. Louis as Sarah B. Griffiths did. Everywhere I have Almira's death date, it is 1839, not 1849. Leigh C Cropper

Malin Family History. Elijah Malin, Jr., was to take his and Samuel Malin's parents to Utah. He was on a Mission in PA and stopped in St. Louis to see Mary Ann and Sam, who were living there, on his way back home. He became ill and died there. They had not made up their mind about going to Utah, but when he died, Sam agreed to take his parents. There is a Bible entry on Anne Bosley dying in Jefferson City. It looks like Ann and George William may have been in St. Louis with Mary Ann and Sam. There is some opinion that she died on the way to Utah. Jefferson City is up the Missouri River from St. Louis and on the way to Omaha, Kanesville, Council Bluffs, and Winter Quarters, so if they were going by boat she could have died on the way to Utah. They could have brought the body along and buried her in Winter Quarters with Edmund. So Brother and Sister Bosley were lying there side by side. There is note of their burial, but nothing on the sextants records. Council Bluffs Malin was born at this time.

Malin Family History. Copied from torn envelope. [Original my mother says was written by my grandmother, to whom Mary Ann Bosley Malin was grandmother.] Grandmother b. in Lakeville N.Y. 29 when married. In St. Louis Grandmother and Aunt Sarah Griffiths bound shoes (made living while Grandfather had fever and ague.) Shoes made of [blank--I guess she couldn't read it] laced on side. Grandmother still wore them with her dove colored silk. Almira Bosley Turner older sister of grandmother. If Grandfather (who had to be Samuel Malin) had fever and ague, perhaps he caught malaria in Nauvoo as many did. That could be another possible reason for their moving to St. Louis. It sounds as if he was ill for a while if the women had to support the family making shoes. On another piece of paper, also from "Nana's old notes about Malin line. (Nana is what we called my mother's mother.) This is the same paper that mentions Eleanor Pack being advised to go to Arkansas Springs. Don't know how I missed this: Ada Griffiths, daughter of Aunt Sarah died of cholera. Cholera bad in St. Louis. Elijah Malin came to St. Louis not well. Died in chair at grandmother's home. (Mary Ann's, obviously.) Grandmother about to have first baby, Council Bluffs Malin, born later in Iowa.

Grandfather Malin's sister, Aunt Sally married to Brigham Young in a cave at Winter Quarters or Far West.

William Bull BOSLEY (1818-1842). Son of Edmund Bosley. Born at Lavinia, Livingston, NY. Received blessing for working on Kirtland Temple 1835 and elder's license 4 Apr 1836. Ordained elder and then seventy 1836. Served many short-term missions 1836-1839. Stockholder in Kirtland Safety Society 1837. Moved Daviess Co, MO by 1838. Expelled. Called as president of Geneva (Morgan, IL) stake.

1 Nov 1840. Died at Nauvoo.

11 March 1836

The Elders met, and being organized, the case of Elder Dean Gould was again brought forward, and president [Alvah] Beman stated to the quorum that Elder D. Gould had not appeared to make his confession but the accusation (I.E.) he behaved in an unchristian like manner was disobedient to his parents &c., and he, Dean, left the house, on the evening of the 7th went into the school house, as testified by Elder Wm Bosley and Moses Martin, and their went to jumping and behaved himself in an unchristian like manner, and was reproved by them. The quorum then, by vote, withdrew the hand of fellowship from him: again voted to carry his case to the high council of Kirtland: and dismissed with prayer. ____________________

Encyclopedic History of the LDS Church

GENEVA is the name of a temporary Stake of Zion organized Nov. 1, 1840, at Geneva, Morgan Co., Illinois, where a number of the saints who had been expelled from Missouri the previous year had located. William Bosley was chosen as president of the stake, which, however, was disorganized in 1841.

MARYLAND. In 1837 Elders Erastus Snow and William Bosley, traveling as missionaries in the New England States, labored for a short time in Washington County, Maryland, and later in the year Erastus Snow labored for nine months in Franklin and Bedford counties, Md., and raised up a branch of the Church. In that year also Jedediah M. Grant preached in Maryland, Delaware, New York, and other states, and baptized a number of converts. Other missionaries followed. In 1842 a newspaper in the interest of the Church, called the "Mormon Expositor", was commenced at Baltimore, Md., by Elder Samuel C. Brown, but was soon suppressed, as its teachings were deemed detrimental to the interest of the cause. In June, 1844, reports of a conflicting nature being circulated in regard to the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum, Heber C. Kimball and Lyman Wight and other brethren went to Baltimore, where Elder Kimball received a letter from his wife informing him that these beloved brethren had given themselves into the hands of their enemies to be tried, and Brothers Kimball and Wight were immediately satisfied that, in that case, they had been murdered. For many years Maryland belonged to the Northern States Mission, but in 1893, when the Eastern States Mission was reorganized, it became a part of that mission, to which it still belongs. The saints own chapels in Baltimore and Fairview.

Maryland. In 1837, Elders Erastus Snow and William Bosley, who had left Kirtland, Ohio, May 9, 1837, on a mission to the New England States passed through the state of Maryland, where they, together with John F. Wakefield, did some missionary labor in Washington County.

The Mormons in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska

John Pack, Pioneer

About this time John (Pack) aided William Bosley, who had married his sister Eleanor, to escape from some Missourians who were seeking him on a false charge of murder, said to have been committed at the so-called battle of Crooked River. This occasioned father's absence from his family for nearly two weeks. Julia relates that while John was away, the family supply of flour became exhausted, and that by means of a spring pole and mortar they pounded corn with which to make bread. They also ground wheat in a hand mill for the same purpose.

At this time twenty people were living in John's one room house. Among those was Rufus Pack's wife, about to become a mother. While John was absent with William Bosley, she became ill. Julia obtained permission to move into a small one-room building which Parley P. Pratt had constructed as a stable, and in which his own wife lay sick with a child. Julia Pack's bed was placed in a small space at the foot of Sister Pratt's bed, and she was lying in pain upon it when Elder Pratt was brought into the house, under guard, to bid his wife good-bye before he was taken to prison.

Shortly after this, John and other of the brethren were forced to sign a paper, at the point of a bayonet, relinquishing all right to their property for the purpose of paying the expense of the Missourians, incident to their driving the Saints from the State. According to the same enforced understanding, the Mormons agreed to leave Missouri before the first of April, 1839, or subject themselves to extermination. During the short respite that followed, John and his family moved to Log Creek, probably into more commodious quarters, and remained there until the 8th of February, 1839, when they joined the general exodus of the Church from Missouri to Illinois.

Emigrant's Guide

William Bosley and Eleanor Pack, his wife, were with us. She is my husband's sister. He was in the Crooked River Battle when David Patten was killed. The mob was after all who were in that battle to take them prisoners. William came to my husband saying: "I can never get away unless you help me." They started out, got past the guard and went to Huntsville. My husband was gone two weeks. During his absence we got out of flour. We had a log set on end with a mortar in the top to hold the grain, a spring pole with a wedge in the end to grind the corn. Of this we made bread. During these two weeks, Rufus' wife was taken sick. I went to Parley Pratt's home, a small room he had put up for his stable in which his family was living, and asked permission of his wife who was in her bed sick with one of her children by her side, to bring our sister there for her confinement. There was a small place at the foot of her bed where I made a bed for our sister. She was lying in this bed when Parley Pratt came to bid his wife and family goodbye before going to prison, he being guarded by two men while doing so.

Clara Harrington Blinn (1847-1868), condensed from a booklet, by John Lambertson. Franklin County Historical Society, Ottawa, Kansas.

Clara Isabelle Harrington was born in 1847 in Ohio. She was the daughter of William Theodore, or W. T., Harrington and his wife, Harriet Elizabeth Bosley Harrington. Clara was the third of seven children in that family and was raised in the Toledo/Perrysburg, Ohio area. There, she was married to Richard Blinn, about 1865. In the spring of 1868 they and some of the other members of the Blinn family decided to go to what is now Southeastern Colorado and try their fortunes out there. At the same time that they were moving out to what is now Colorado, Clara's parents were also leaving Ohio. They were coming to Franklin County. Again, this was W. T. and Harriet Harrington. They moved to a farm, and there are different accounts as to whether it was near Ottawa or actually closer down towards Williamsburg. Part of the instigation of their coming to Kansas was that Harriet's sister, Myra Bosley Mottram, was up at Lawrence and she was quite a strong woman and had persuaded them to come out West and join her in this particular area. As I mentioned, she later lived in Ottawa. She had a milliner's shop; I don't know if that was in Lawrence or Ottawa, or both. Therefore, the Harringtons came to Franklin County, and they were just down on their farm for a very short period of time when this whole tragic event of Clara's capture and death occurred. Partly out of some of their effort of recovery they left the farm and moved in to Ottawa, and Mr. Harrington went back to the practice he had in Ohio -that of running a hotel. He ran what was at one time known as the "Harrington House" and later the "Ohio House" on Walnut Street, which is where the first railroad would have just been laid a few months before. The site later became the location of the Nelson Hotel. So that is where they basically lived the rest of their lives.

The Sterlings, parents of Grace Bosley, were born and lived in Scotland until they came to Utah when my mother was five years old which would make it about 1860 they lived and passed away in Salt Lake City. I have no memory of them at all. I think Grandma Sterling passed away when I was about 18 years old and grandfather passed away before that - they came over with Mormons, but did not follow that religion after reaching here. Aunt Jessie was the only one to become a staunch Mormon. The Sterlings came from Forfarshire, Scotland and he was a gardener. Geo William Bosley, my father, was born in Quincy, Ill. He was 20 years older than mother so must have been born about 1835. Both of his parents passed away before he was ten years old so he started for Utah by ox cart with three aunts. When they reached St. Louis they ran into a plague of Cholera and two of the aunts died there. The third aunt Mary Ann Bosley Malin brought him to Utah and raised him with her family. Some of her grandchildren still live in S.L.C. Bosley is an English name. I think there was even a famous family by that name, but I never could find out much about it. Aunt Malin was a character. I hope this will help a little.

Mrs. Grace Bosley died last Wednesday evening at 8:45 at her home in Corinne, of Bright's Disease and other complications. Grace Sterling was born in Forfar, Scotland, Sept 27, 1855, hence was 51 years, 4 months, 8 days old. She came to this country in early life and was married to George Bosley in 1870 at Salt Lake City. Nine children were born all of whom are living, the youngest being but seven years old. Besides these, fifteen grandchildren, three sisters and a brother are left to mourn her loss. The family has lived in and about Corinne for twenty-two years. It has been evident for a number of years that Mrs. Bosley was failing in health but the symptoms did not become alarming until four weeks ago. Since that time she has been confined to her bed. At one time she improved so much that hopes of her recovery were held out but the improvement was only temporary - she grew worse again and filed steadily until she passed away. In the death of Mrs. Bosley her family has met with an irreparable loss, for a kind self-sacrificing wife and mother has gone from the home. She possessed a most generous nature and she not only looked after her own household but stretched out her hand to neighbors and friends and all are able to recall many acts of kindness which she bestowed upon them. Mrs. Bosley was a member of the Methodist Church also of the Ladies' Aid Society and the W.C.T.U. The funeral was held at the Church Saturday morning at ten o'clock, Rev. R. E. Gilpin having charge of the services and choosing the most appropriate words "She hath done what she could" for his text. The floral offering from the Ladies' Aid Society was very beautiful as were those from other friends. The interment took place in the Corinne cemetery. On funeral program:

In Loving Remembrance of

Grace Sterling Bosley

Born Sept. 27, 1855

Died Jan. 30, 1907

Age 51 yrs. 4 mos. 3 days.

Gone but not forgotten

A precious one from us has gone,

A voice we loved is stilled;

A place is vacant in our home,

Which never can be filled.

God in His wisdom has recalled,

The boon his love had given,

And though the body slumbers here,

The soul is safe in Heaven.

The Sterlings parents of Grace Bosley were born and lived in Scotland until they came to Utah when my mother was five years old which would make it about 1860 they lived and passed away in Salt Lake City. I have no memory of them at all. I think Grandma Sterling passed away when I was about 18 years old and grandfather passed away before that - they came over with Mormons, but did not follow that religion after reaching here. Aunt Jessie was the only one to become a staunch Mormon. The Sterlings came from Forfarshire, Scotland and he was a gardener. Geo William Bosley my father was born in Quincy, Ill. He was 20 years older than mother so must have been born about 1835. Both of his parents passed away before he was ten years old so he started for Utah by ox cart with three aunts. When they reached St. Louis they ran into a plague of Cholera and two of the aunts died there. The third aunt Mary Ann Bosley Malin brought him to Utah and raised him with her family. Some of her grandchildren still live in S.L.C. Bosley is an English name. I think there was even a famous family by that name, but I never could find out much about it. Aunt Malin was a character. I hope this will help a little.

Fort Arbuckle Cemetery Murray County, Oklahoma. The cemetery was located on post grounds at Sec. 36, T1N, R1W. Driving directions would be seven miles west of Davis, Ok to the intersection of S.H. 7 and Meridian Road. There is a marker and the old fort was located on the northwest corner of the intersection. Fort Arbuckle was built in the unsettled Indian Territory to protect the Civilized Indians, Chickasaws and Choctaws, from the wild rampaging Kiowa and Comanche Indians. There were also visits by the wagon trains of Mormons and other emigrants making their way to the California gold fields using the Dona Ana and California Trails between Ft. Smith and Santa Fe which passed through this area. Captain Randolph B. Marcy was charged with the choice of the locations and construction of the fort. The site near Wild Horse Creek and the Washita River was not only rich in natural beauty but there was also abundant timber, grass and water, all necessary for an army post. From the nearby mountains, lead was mined for making ammunition. The fort was established on Apr 19, 1851 and named for the late General Matthew Arbuckle who had been in command of troops in Military Department of Missouri until his death on Apr 11, 1851. He died of cholera in Ft. Smith. Major Joel Elliott was buried at Ft. Arbuckle when he was killed at the Battle of the Washita with Custer's 7th Cavalry. Only death dates are available. It was later determined, by an army grave relocation team in 1872, that 54 additional graves existed at Ft. Arbuckle and 26 soldiers were buried on Guy Sandy Creek who died of cholera. These additional graves were never located. The area was allowed to burn off, and that destroyed the wooden grave markers and the location of the graves. When Ft. Arbuckle was decommissioned in 1870, the names listed below were moved to Ft. Gibson, OK and re-interred at the National Cemetery. Fifty-four others were not moved. Ft. Sill, I.T. opened for business in the middle of Comanche country in late 1869 and Ft. Arbuckle closed permanently in June of 1870. Unless noted otherwise, most of the people listed below died of cholera or other epidemics. Some were killed in Indian battles and brought to Ft. Arbuckle for burial. - Dennis Muncrief.

Clara Harrington Blinn (1847-1868), condensed from a booklet, by John Lambertson. Franklin County Historical Society, Ottawa, Kansas.

Clara Isabelle Harrington was born in 1847 in Ohio. She was the daughter of William Theodore, or W. T., Harrington and his wife, Harriet Elizabeth Bosley Harrington. Clara was the third of seven children in that family and was raised in the Toledo/Perrysburg, Ohio area. There, she was married to Richard Blinn, about 1865, and the following year they had a son, William. She is described as being petite with dark, chestnut hair and a dimple in her chin; and has been described as really quite pretty. She was also noted, in the area, for her clear soprano voice. She apparently was quite bright and well educated, from the letter she wrote out of captivity. She apparently had some sense of humor. Her husband's diary, when they were first going out West to what is now Southeastern Colorado, reports some April Fool prank that she was pulling on some of the other members of the team. Clara's husband, Richard Blinn, was born in 1842, in Perrysburg, Ohio. He served in the 31st Ohio infantry in the Civil War, on the Union side. He was wounded, a wound that he never fully recovered from, and he married Clara after his discharge. Now, as a newlywed couple with a small child, they were looking for new opportunities for themselves. In the spring of 1868 they and some of the other members of the Blinn family decided to go to what is now Southeastern Colorado and try their fortunes out there. I am not certain as to who else in the Blinn family went. Apparently, Richard's brother, Hubble Blinn went, also his sister, Charlotte, and her husband Steve. They left Perrysburg on Sunday, March 15, 1868, by train, by locomotive, and went to Kansas City by that route. In Kansas City, they were able to obtain wagons for their caravan and mules. They experienced some of the usual hazards of the trails -- a broken axle, for example -- on the way out, etc. The route in going out to their new venture in the West was through Shawnee Mission. Again, these are mentioned in Dick Blinn's diary. He did mention going into the town of Burlingame, also Junction City, Abilene, Salina, and Solomon City. This, again, is in the spring of 1868, and these places were in their infancy. The train tracks were just being laid out in that direction. Basically, they followed the Smokey Hill Trail out West. He mentions Fort Parker, Ellsworth; he spent some time in Hays City, and had some blacksmithing done there. Then they moved on down south to Dodge. They mentioned several other minor forts and stations along the way. They reached their destination on Sand Creek on April 20, 1868. This was near Fort Lyons in Southeastern Colorado, Dick Blinn, in his diary, says on that day, "I liked the place first rate." I don't know how long that "like" lasted. Apparently, they tried their hand a little bit at doing some ranching, which apparently was not successful. But what was more promising was that they were able to operate a stage station on the southern overland mail route, and took care of the passengers and the teams that came through. Clara would have cooked for the passengers. Unfortunately, that fizzled after a few months also. Apparently the coach was removed from that particular route. So they were sort of left out there, without any other kinds of means of support by the early fall of 1868. So they decided to give up and head back East. Well, his family was still in Ohio, but hers, by this time, had moved here to Franklin County. So, as many people did when things didn't work out for them in the West, they "gave up and went back to the wife's people." And that's basically what they were going to do. Clara, apparently, relayed a message to her Aunt Myra in Lawrence, who she was very close to, that they were going to come back and settle in Franklin County. But she wanted it to be a surprise and not to tell her parents that they were coming. Therefore, the Blinns' decision was unknown to the Harringtons in Franklin County. The caravan was attacked about 10 miles east of the mouth of Sand Creek on the mountain branch of the Santa Fe Trail. It was near the present day town of Bristol, Colorado, and getting fairly close to what is now the Kansas line. The caravan, according to Hubble Blinn, Richard Blinn's brother who was there and among the party, consisted of Richard and Clara and little Willie, two years old, seven other white men, and a Negro. There is also the suggestion that maybe the sister, Charlotte, and her husband were along again, it is somewhat confusing on this particular point. Anyway, they were vastly outnumbered, whether there were 75 Indians or whether there were 200 Indians. The Indians gave up and these men were left out there on foot. They returned to the fort to spread the alarm, to tell of what had happened, and to tell that this young 21-year-old woman and her two-year-old son had been taken captive. We also don't know for sure what all transpired in the following six weeks for Clara. What we do know is that she and Willie were taken and traveled for several hundred miles down further into Indian Territory. Where they ended up was in Western Oklahoma on the Washita River, and they were there by early November 1868. It was at that particular point that an incident occurred that has helped seal this event in the footnotes of the history of American warfare with the Indians. Clara was able to get smuggled out of the Indian camp a letter, sort of a distress letter, begging for assistance to get her released. This is what Clara wrote, the last communication from her: "Saturday, November 7", now again, she has almost been a month in captivity by this point, 1868. "Kind friend, whoever you may be, I thank you for your kindness to me and my child. You want me to let you know my wishes. If you could only buy us from the Indians with ponies or anything and let me come stay with you until I can get word to my friends, they would pay you. And I would work and do all I could for you. If it is not too far to their camp, and you are not afraid to come, I pray you will try. They tell me, as near as 1 can understand, they expect traders to come and they will sell us to them. If it is Mexicans, I am afraid they will sell us into slavery in Mexico. If you can do nothing for me, write to W. T. Harrington, Ottawa, Franklin County, Kansas, and my father. Tell him we are with the Cheyennes and they say when the white men make peace, we can go home. Tell him to write the governor of Kansas about it and for them to make peace. Send this to him. We were taken on October 9 on the Arkansas, below Fort Lyon. I cannot tell whether they killed my husband or not. My name is Mrs. Clara Blinn, my little boy, Willie Blinn, is two years old. Do all you can for me. Write to the peace commissioners to make peace this fall. For our sake, do all you can and God will bless you. If you can let me hear from you again, please let me know what you think about it. Write my father; send this to him. Goodbye, Mrs. R. F. Blinn." She adds a little footnote. "I am as well as can be expected, but my baby is very sick."

Ottawa Herald, Ottawa Kansas, Wednesday, Nov 24, 1948. Death Takes Mrs. Estabrook, Pioneer Here.

Mrs. Mary Jane Estabrook, 90, widow of Clinton Hobart Estabrook, and prominent resident of Ottawa many years, died unexpectedly yesterday at 6:30pm, at the home, 324 Locust. She mentioned not feeling well, and died soon after lying down. She had lived in Ottawa 81 years. Mary Jane Harrington was born October 6, 1858, in Toledo, Ohio, daughter of William Theodore and Harriet Elizabeth (Bosley) Harrington. She was married at Ottawa April 29, 1879 to Mr. Estabrook and he died November 20, 1938. (Cemetery records and probate say December 20, 1938.) Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. M.H. Forester, Ottawa; a granddaughter, Mrs. Bruce Moorehead, Escalon, Calif., and several nieces and nephews. Mrs. Moorehead is coming to Ottawa. The funeral is to be Friday from the Lamb Funeral Home at 3pm. Rev. W.A. Elliott and Rev. R.S. Pruitt will officiate, and interment is to be in the Hope Cemetery. The casket will be open at the funeral home Friday, from 1 to 2:30pm. The Harrington family moved in 1867 from Toledo, Ohio, to a farm in the Chippewa Hills, where they frequently saw Indians. The Indians passed the farm on their way to Ottawa to receive their money. Soon after moving to this farm, an older sister of Mrs. Estabrook, who lived in Colorado, started in a caravan to Kansas to visit her people. The caravan was attacked and captured by the Indians, and the sister and her child, along with others, were taken prisoner. The attack took place about the border line of Colorado and Kansas. The government negotiated with the Indians for return of the sister and child, upon payment of ransom; but before the plan was completed the Indians were attacked, and they killed the sister and child. Mr. Estabrook came here when he was 12 years old from Kansas City, and lived in Ottawa the remainder of his life. He was an early day merchant and engaged in the drug business many years. He was later connected with the First National bank, and had extensive property interests.

THE INDIAN CAPTIVITY OF CLARA BLINN Who was to blame for her death? by Danita Ross

In early October 1868 Clara Blinn and her two year old son, Willie, were taken captive by Indians along the Santa Fe Trail near the mouth of Sand Creek, not far from present day Lamar, Colorado. Clara and her husband Richard, had decided to leave Colorado Territory where they found it hard to make a living and had joined an eastbound caravan of wagons to return to Clara's family in Franklin County, Kansas. When the raiders, believed to be mostly Cheyennes, attacked the wagon train, Clara and little Willie hid under a feather mattress in a supply wagon. After a siege of several days, the Indians left, taking the supply wagon with Clara and her young son as part of their booty. The captives were held at the winter camp of the Cheyenne chief Black Kettle on the Washita River in southern Indian Territory (in present Oklahoma). When U.S. Army forces, led by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, attacked the Cheyenne encampment on November 27, both Clara and Willie died. The death of Clara and her infant son became part of the controversy surrounding the Battle of the Washita and the reputation of Colonel Custer. Mary Forrester Moorehead of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a grandniece of Clara Harrington Blinn. The life and death of her grandmother's older sister has haunted her since childhood. In those days, all traces of Clara's story were tucked away in a bundle in an old trunk and carefully ignored by the family. "As a child in Kansas, " Moorehead remembers, " I used to sneak up alone to my grandmother's attic and take out of the large wooden trunk a mysterious parcel. It contained the mementos of my Grandaunt Clara's last days. I would remove the items one at a time and wonder about them and about Clara." The momentos included: an old clipping from an Ottawa, Kansas, newspaper; a hurriedly penciled letter from Clara in scratchy handwriting dated November 7. 1868; a piece from the hem of a calico dress; a fringed, beaded Arapaho bag; a yellowed letter from Gen. Philip Sheridan; a lock of hair; and two tiny stones. From the newsclippings and the letters, Moorehead knew that her grandaunt had been a captive in Chief Black Kettle's camp, but she was baffled by her family's silence regarding her grandaunt. "I simply could not understand my family's reluctance to speak of Aunt Clara. My mother had great pride in our family history. Yet she would never, never speak of Aunt Clara when I was young. Neither would my grandmother." Ironically, in those days, the only information Moorehead was able to get came from the family's Cherokee maid Ada. She knew something of Plains history and had read old news articles about Clara Blinn. Ada also instilled in Moorehead a curiosity about the Indian side of the story. "Only when I reached adulthood did my mother finally relent and tell Clara's story as the family knew it," Moorehead explains. The old momentos, which Moorehead now owns, trace the narrative. She shows the original handwritten letter, now preserved under glass, that Clara wrote from Black Kettle's camp. The plaintive plea for help from the twenty-one-year-old captive entreats: "Kind Friend....if you could only buy us of the Indians with ponies or anything and let me come and stay with you until I could get word to my friends, they would pay you..." Moorehead notes of the letter: "Family legend claims that a trader smuggled a pencil and paper into Clara in a pan of flour. But no one knows for certain." (The letter was delivered to the military and then released to the press. It appeared in many newspapers.) During the autumn of 1868 the U.S. Army had embarked upon a resolute campaign against hostile Indians. The plan was to chastise them through swift, surprise attacks on their winter camps. On November 27, 1868, in a bitterly cold dawn assault, Custer surrounded Black Kettle's settlement on the Washita River, carrying out General Sheridan's orders to destroy the village, kill the Indian warriors and their horses, and take prisoner the women and children. The Cheyenne camp bore the main force of Custer's attack, but the Arapahos and Kiowas were also encamped nearby. Moorehead points out that the various battle accounts show discrepancies as to just where Clara and Willie were found. In whichever camp Clara spent her final hours - whether Cheyenne or Kiowa - we know that she was found shot in the head, and that Willie's skull was crushed. (Reports differ as to whether they had been scalped.) Bread was stuffed into the front of Clara's dress. The surmise was that in the melee, Clara had grabbed food and Willie and was trying to escape when she was accidentally shot by the troopers as she ran toward them. Some critics of the Battle of the Washita contend that the proper term to describe the encounter is "massacre." They censure Custer and Sheridan for carrying out a massacre of Indians who had agreed to peace and who had been promised rations and security by the army. Critics have also suggested that Custer should have attempted to secure the safety of any captives in Black Kettle's camp, as the military knew that Clara and her little son were being held there. Ms. Moorehead displays the Arapaho bag that carried General Sheridan's condolence letter to the family. Sheridan also sent the hem piece cut from Clara's mulberry-colored calico dress. He did this, Moorehead explains, to show the family that Clara had not been made to work too terribly hard, as the hem was still tight and unfrayed after Clara had been in captivity for more than a month and a half. The lock of Willie's hair that Sheridan ordered clipped before burial of the bodies at Fort Arbuckle came back to the family through Richard Blinn. He had survived the attack in Colorado Territory, but his lone search for his wife and child had taken three months. He arrived at Fort Arbuckle in January of 1869, where at last he learned their sad fate. Blinn built a sturdy fence around the gravesites of Clara and Willie and took a small stone from each grave to carry with him - the two small stones Moorehead keeps today. Moorehead's search to understand not only Clara's story but how it fit into the context of the times has taken years of investigation. At Stanford University library she pored over records of Indian allotments of food and supplies set by treaties with the U.S. government. She was particularly interested in discovering the disbursements of allotments for Black Kettle's Cheyennes. She was not surprised to find that the actual allotments fell short of the agreed-upon provisions. "I have come to realize," she says, "that even the most respected Indians, like Black Kettle, who had signed for peace and tried to live up to it, might hold a white captive to secure more supplies in the wake of inadequate allotments and brutal winters." Moorehead had also retraced her grandaunt's journey from capture in Colorado, south to Oklahoma, to stand at the battle site on the Washita River in November. "I wanted to feel, as much as I could, what it might have been like for Clara," she says. Somewhat sadly, she has come to understand her family's early reluctance to talk of her grandmother's older sister. "Reflecting the mentality of the day, Clara was considered a loser in the family. If she had escaped and tried to re-enter the Anglo culture of 1868, she would have been considered sullied, an outcast." For it was naturally assumed that she had met "the fate worse than death," as one cavalry lieutenant remarked on the presumed sexual abuse by the Indians. General Sheridan, himself, exemplified this same attitude, evidently discouraged efforts to ransom Clara Blinn. In his best-selling Son of the Morning Star (1984), Evan Connell reports a purported conversation between Sheridan and Gen. W B. Hazen, obviously before Sheridan knew of Richard Blinn's survival. Connell quotes Sheridan: "After having her husband & friends murdered, and her own person subjected to the fearful bestiality of perhaps the whole tribe, it is mock humanity to secure what is left of her [Clara Blinn] for the consideration of 5 ponies." (page 181) "While many women broke from the strain of just trying to exist on the Plains," points out Ms. Moorehead, "Clara's remarkable fortitude kept her struggling for freedom to the very end of her ordeal. To me, Clara was a heroine. She was a young, bright, brave woman. And as much a source of pride as the English colonists in our family. It is a shame to have kept her in an attic so long." Bibliographic note. Some of the material in this piece comes from remembrances of the family of Clara Blinn. However, the main events in her captivity were described in many newspapers of the time. Various authors have mentioned the Blinn tragedy in works relating to the Battle of the Washita or the career of George Armstrong Custer. For examples, consult the indexes of the following books for information about Clara and little Willie. The Battle of the Washita: The Sheridan-Custer Indian Campaign of 1867-69 by Stan Hoig (1976).

PIONEER HISTORY OF KANSAS by Adolph Roenigk. CHAPTER XIX WINTER CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE HOSTILES The Nineteenth Kansas Cavalry; Custer’s Seventh Cavalry; Attack the Camp of Blackettle; Rescue of Two Captive Women... Extract from General Sheridan’s report after the battle: On his way back to camp Dr. Baily of Topeka, the surgeon of the Nineteenth, discovered the body of a white woman and a little boy two years old. The woman had been shot in the forehead and the child killed by striking his head against a tree. The mother had a piece of bread concealed in her bosom as though she had attempted to escape from the camp. The next morning the woman was laid on a blanket on her side and the boy in her arm, and the men ordered to march by to see if possibly someone might identify her. It was Mrs. R. F. Blinn, captured by the Kiowas October 6th, going from Lyon to Dodge. The body of the woman and child were taken along and finally buried in the government cemetery at Fort Arbuckle. On the 2th of November, a number of Mexican traders had been in the Kiowa camp, and she had taken opportunity to send a letter out by them...

Introduction. This is the travel diary documenting trip of Richard Foote Blinn (1842-1873), with his wife Clara (1845-1868) and son Willie, from Perrysburg, Ohio to Sand Creek, Colorado along the Santa Fe Trail in 1868. There are some additional entries describing the search by Richard for Clara after she was kidnapped by Indians and her later death at Washita after the battle there in November 1868. Note on this transcription: Narrative entries are transcribed in chronological order. There were some 1869 entries written at the start of the diary volume with the January 1868 dates crossed out and corrected to 1869, with a few uncorrected reading February, but still probably mid-January, and two entries written on the Memoranda pages and one on the Cash Account, January page. Financial/ledger entries were not transcribed. Spelling of the original is maintained. Richard Blinn Diary Transcript

February Monday, 10 1868 Uncle Dick's Diary

March Sunday, 15 1868 Left Perrysburg this morning at 8 o'clock for Sand Creek Colorado Territory.

March Monday, 16 1868 On our way to Kansas City. Slept in the car seat all night.

the ferry. Took a sleeping car & had a good sleep

March Wednesday, 18 1868 Arrived at Kansas City 5 o'clock in the morning. Took supper at the Sheridan

Hotel and then started to find Jack. Traveled on six roads and then all most gave up finding him.

March Thursday, 19 1868 Shawnee Mission. Started from Kansas City this morning. Had a big time hitching up the mules. One of them kick the buttons off Steve's shirt. We got them all right after a long tussle. Steve and I ride on the big wagon. We had our last glass off [sic] ales up to the tavern. Not very good ales. Steve, Charlott, Clara and I sleep in the tent. Sarah and Jack in the ambulance and Bill in the wagon.

March Friday, 20 1868 Olatha, Kas. Broke camp 9 o'clock this morning & drove 20 miles and camped

opposite an Ohio man's house. No trouble with the mules today. Charlott put a cranberry on her toe kill a corn but eat it off before it did any good. Steve went to kill a chicken but could not do so.

March Saturday, 21 1868 Camp Breakdown. Started this morning at 8 o'clock and was getting along nice

when the fore axle broke and we had to camp in the road. Saw the peraria [prairie?] on fire last night for the first time. It looked splendid.

March Sunday, 22 1868 Camp Breakdown. Did not get our wagon fixed so we had to lay over all day.

March Monday, 23 1868 Got our wagon fixed and started on our way. Had a hard road. Got lost and had to let down a fence and drive through a field. Camped about four o'clock. It rained and we had a hard time to pitch the tent. Had some milk punch tonight. Very good.

March Tuesday, 24 1868 Drove about eighteen miles today. The wind blows very hard. Past by the ruins of a house that was destroyed by the rebles during the war. Camped in a hollow. Steve started out on the hill for prarrie chickens. There is a lot around, but he did not shoot any. The wind blows to hard. Found a nest of mice under a stone. They all skedadled when we took up the stone. There is a creek & a spring

near where we camp.

Passed through Salina and Solimon City. Salina is quite a nice little town. We have got 4 men to travel with us, so we feel safer then we did before

April Wednesday, 1 1868 Between Fort Harker & Elsworth. Broke camp this morning at 5 o'clock and drove 40 miles by 6 o'clock. Mules look pretty tired. Clara fooled Jack, and Jack made me jump off from the wagon to pay for it. Steve & I got to sleep on the wagon and came near falling off. Came through the worst country we have had yet. The land is not good for any thing. Wind blows like anything. It was warm this morning but it turned cold before night and keeps it up yet.

April Thursday, 2 1868 Bunker Hill. Camped at 6 o'clock near some soldiers. Had to keep a guard all

night for fear some one would steal our mules. We saw two men hanging around our camp. Saw some buffalo but they were a good ways off. Saw a perraria dog this first I ever saw. One of the soldiers killed an antelope & Jack bought part of it and we had all we could eat. It tasts good, better than deer meat.

April Friday, 3 1868 Camped within 3 1/2 miles from Hays City. Darned cold today. Had to wear our

overcoats all the time. Traveled with the soldiers until noon and then left them. We caught up with a

man with four horses. He was loaded with corn for Cayota. He broke his wagon and had to go 33 miles to get a wagon to fetch his load in. He camped with us one night and his horses eat up more off our hay than our own stock. Drove 40 miles.

April Saturday, 4 1868 Hays City. Got here at 10 o'clock. Found a nice plase to camp. Plenty of wood &

water, so we do not have to run after wood as we did the night before. Will stay here 2 or 3 days until Jack's train come in from the plains. The girls are baking bread and getting ready to start across the plains. Had a big row in camp this morning.

April Sunday, 5 1868 Camp near Hays City. The train came in town last night. The stock looks hard

[?]. Are going to get the mules shod tomorrow. Espect to have a big time with Jule.

They did not notice us at all, but went about their business, what ever it was. We are traveling with a Mexican train. They are camped about a mile back.

April Thursday, 9 1868 Started this morning at half past six this morning, drove 27 miles, left the

train off Mexicans for they did not travel fast enough for us, so we are alone. Jack & Steve found a lot of their friend here and they all feel pretty wild to night. It rained last night and froze so every thing is all ice.

April Friday, 10 1868 Saw Log Creek. Camped at Boyd's Ranch. Started this morning at 6 o'clock and

drove about 13 miles. Found another Mexican train stuck in the mud. Took dinner & the drove 7 miles & caught up with the train. They were feeding their mules so we unhitched ours and let them graze a while. The wind blows like the old harry. Can't pitch the tent, so we have to let the girls sleep in the wagon and Steve and I have to take to the ground.

April Saturday, 11 1868 Fort Dodge. Started out off the camp this morning at 3 o'clock and drove 12

miles and stoped at this place to go to a dance tonight at some of Jack's friends. Found lots of Indians here but they are friendly and do not offer to hurt any one.

April Sunday, 12 1868 Fort Dodge. Went to the dance. Did not have a verry good time. The officers run

the thing. We are laying over because it rains. Have got a good plase to stay so I do not care.

April Sunday, 19 1868 Fort Sanderson. Started from Aubery at 7 o'clock and drove to this place in one

December Monday, 28 1868 F.F. Jones, Cheyen an Kiowa Interpritor Jay Fellows Sam Gray Henery Harned John Mount Jacob Litteral Will. Minix J.W. Allbenary

December Tuesday, 29 1868 Traveled all day in the rain, walked all the time. It looks dark and gloomy & I feel the same. I would give my life for my little family but I am afraid I have got to go through this world alone. If I only knew where they are I would feel better but to live & think what they have to go through is worse than death.

December Wednesday, 30 1868 I. Creek, Coulson Ground, I.T. [Indian Territory] We are water bound. The water is so high in the deep Fork that we can not get through and I am afraid that we will have to lay here for a week but I hope not for I want to get through

December Thursday, 31 1868 No chance of geting away from here yet. It has rained for four days and nights, but it looks as though it would clear up soon.

January Friday, 1 1869 [written in start of 1868 volume] Still storming and no signs of its clearing up. It seems as though everything goes against me. I do not care for what I go through but to think of them, Clara & Willie. If I knew they were safe I would not care for myself for I can stand anything that will do them good, even to laying down my life for them. But I must know what has become of them if it takes all my life.

[illegible] not [illegible] or I can not [illegible] and I have got [illegible] [Written on Memoranda Page]

Sunday Morning, Jan 3, 69 Still waiting for the water to fall. The boys were down yesterday & they say it

is falling some. I hope it is for I want to go on. I think that I will find Willie in a government train that is coming. But I do not expect to see poor Clara again. This life looks dark & dreary to me. I wish I was with my wife, dead or alive. The tears will fall in spite of me when I think of the happy days that a gon to

return no more. Little did I think one year would find me alone in this world with no one but my self to take care. Three years. It seems but yesterday that I kiss her & called her wife for the first time. So young and yet so good. A true wife & a kind mother. I would not want a better partner to travel through this world with than my darling Clara, but now she is no more. I hope she is in a better world than this.

January Monday, 4 1869 Okmulgee. The water has fell about 3 feet and a half. I think we will move from

here tomorrow. We will give it a trial and how and I hope we will get acrost for I am afraid we are going to have more rain and if we do we cannot get away before spring and no one can come from the other way, so I can get any news from Cobb.

January Tuesday, 5 1869 We made a drive of two miles to day and the water is falling fast and I think we

will get acrost in a few days. There is a train coming from Cobb and I think I will get some news when they get here. We look for them tomorrow and I hope they will get here for I want to get the news.

There is talk of the Indians trying to take the Post and if they make a break there will be a big fight at Cobb.

January Wednesday, 6 1869 2 miles from Okmullgee. The water is falling very slow and I think we will have to stay here for three days longer. If I can only get Clara and Will I would not care but to lay here and not know where they are makes the time go slow. It seems as though the days were as long as a week. I heard to day that Wild Bill was killed but I think there is some mystake.

January Thursday, 8 [7?] 1869 I found a man today that found Clara and Willie on the ground. They had been killed about 14 days. His name is H.H. Campbell. Willie was laying a little ways from her. They were taken to Arbuckle and buried. I shall try to take them home.

January Friday, 9 [8?] 1869

The boys have built a raft and I think we will get acrost the river tomorrow. The scout that found Clara and Willie says he will give me a horse to ride to Cobb. I think I will go with him. It is 3 month today that Clara & Willie was captured.

January Saturday, 10 [9?] 1869 I am over the river at last. I am going to go through with two scouts. They have got an extra horse and they are going to let me ride through with them. They are the most accomadating men that I have found since I started. This is a hard country to travel in.

January Sunday, 11 [10?] 1869 Seminole Agency. We went 45 miles from [illegible]. I feel awfull tired tonight for I had a hard riding horse. He is awfull stiff. I am going to get another horse tomorrow.

The men that I am with are good fellows. One of them was in the army with me and he is an old railroad man so I fare very well.

January Monday, 12 [11?] 1869 Forty miles from the Seminole Agency. Camped in the woods all by ourselves. Had sardines and peaches for supper. I feel awfull tired and homesick tonight. I would rather be dead than to live without Clara and Willie, but the Lord knows best and I suppose he will take me

when my time comes.

January Tuesday, 12 1869 Sleeped in the woods last night. Did not sleep very well. Rode 37 miles, got off from the road looking for a place to stay but got lost and had to hire a little Indian to guide us to the house where we got to stay all night

January Wednesday, 13 1869 Camped on the Washata. Rode 35 miles. Rained all night and most all day. Mud knee deep. My horse gave out so we had to camp before dark.

They say there is no doubt but that Clara & Willie were killed. I hav got Clara's shoes & a piece of her dress and some of Willies hair.

February Wednesday, 5 [Jan 18?] 1869 Camp on Cash Creek. Went to see Col. Boon and he says he will do all he can to assist me. I think I shall be abell to recover something from the Indians. All I want is enough to get toom stones for my family. I have been well treated by all the officers here. They are not at all like those that I have meet here to fore. Received a letter from Fannie today.

February Thursday, 6 [Jan 19?] 1869 Nothing off note to day.

Jan 23 1869 Saw a young man that was looking for his sister. She was captured on the [illegible]. I all [also] saw an Indian with my shirt on. I hired to Col. Boon as watchman to day. [Col. Albert Gallatin Boone, grandson of Daniel Boone, was the Indian Agent at Ft. Sill].

The Indians are all civilized and some of them are well educated & talk English as well as any one can. © 2003 Center for Archival Collections, 5th Floor, Jerome Library, BGSU, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403 +1-419-372-2411

Clara Harrington Blinn (1847-1868), condensed from a booklet, by John Lambertson. Franklin County Historical Society, Ottawa, Kansas.

Clara Isabelle Harrington was born in 1847 in Ohio. She was the daughter of William Theodore, or W. T., Harrington and his wife, Harriet Elizabeth Bosley Harrington. Clara was the third of seven children in that family and was raised in the Toledo/Perrysburg, Ohio area. There, she was married to Richard Blinn, about 1865, and the following year they had a son, William. She is described as being petite with dark, chestnut hair and a dimple in her chin; and has been described as really quite pretty. She was also noted, in the area, for her clear soprano voice. She apparently was quite bright and well educated, from the letter she wrote out of captivity. She apparently had some sense of humor. Her husband's diary, when they were first going out West to what is now Southeastern Colorado, reports some April Fool prank that she was pulling on some of the other members of the team. Clara's husband, Richard Blinn, was born in 1842, in Perrysburg, Ohio. He served in the 31st Ohio infantry in the Civil War, on the Union side. He was wounded, a wound that he never fully recovered from, and he married Clara after his discharge. Now, as a newlywed couple with a small child, they were looking for new opportunities for themselves. In the spring of 1868 they and some of the other members of the Blinn family decided to go to what is now Southeastern Colorado and try their fortunes out there. I am not certain as to who else in the Blinn family went. Apparently, Richard's brother, Hubble Blinn went, also his sister, Charlotte, and her husband Steve. They left Perrysburg on Sunday, March 15, 1868, by train, by locomotive, and went to Kansas City by that route. In Kansas City, they were able to obtain wagons for their caravan and mules. They experienced some of the usual hazards of the trails -- a broken axle, for example -- on the way out, etc. The route in going out to their new venture in the West was through Shawnee Mission. Again, these are mentioned in Dick Blinn's diary. He did mention going into the town of Burlingame, also Junction City, Abilene, Salina, and Solomon City. This, again, is in the spring of 1868, and these places were in their infancy. The train tracks were just being laid out in that direction. Basically, they followed the Smokey Hill Trail out West. He mentions Fort Parker, Ellsworth; he spent some time in Hays City, and had some blacksmithing done there. Then they moved on down south to Dodge. They mentioned several other minor forts and stations along the way. They reached their destination on Sand Creek on April 20, 1868. This was near Fort Lyons in Southeastern Colorado, Dick Blinn, in his diary, says on that day, "I liked the place first rate." I don't know how long that "like" lasted. Apparently, they tried their hand a little bit at doing some ranching, which apparently was not successful. But what was more promising was that they were able to operate a stage station on the southern overland mail route, and took care of the passengers and the teams that came through. Clara would have cooked for the passengers. Unfortunately, that fizzled after a few months also. Apparently the coach was removed from that particular route. So they were sort of left out there, without any other kinds of means of support by the early fall of 1868. So they decided to give up and head back East. Well, his family was still in Ohio, but hers, by this time, had moved here to Franklin County, Kansas. So, as many people did when things didn't work out for them in the West, they "gave up and went back to the wife's people.
