Phebe Draper Palmer Brown, the daughter of William and Lydia Lothrop Draper, was born in Rome, Oneida County, New York, October 9, 1797. The Drapers originally came from England to America in 1645, locating near Boston. The family spread through the New England States. In 1800, Thomas Draper and wife moved to Canada. His son, William Draper Sr., left New York and settled in Pennsylvania.

When Phebe was ten years old her family moved to Ontario, Canada. The family stayed in Canada where Phebe married George Palmer IV in 1815 in Cramahe Township, Newcastle District, Northumberland, Ontario, Canada, when she was eighteen years old.

In 1832 Eleazer Miller, a LDS missionary, introduced the gospel to the Draper family. When Brigham Young came to Canada the following year, he baptized Phebe [Phebe was the first to be baptized in the Draper family and in her own family]. Her husband had not joined before he died on December 4, 1833, leaving her with five small children [Eliza had died in a fire in 1832 and Rhoda wasn't born yet]. To them were born seven children, Lovina Palmer, Osahel Palmer, William Palmer, Eliza Palmer, Lydia Palmer, Zemira Palmer, and Rhoda Palmer. They joined the Church in 1833 and gathered with the Saints in Kirtland, Ohio.

[Phebe traveled in the Seventies Camp with her brother Zemira Draper's family and father William Draper's family and daughter Lovina Palmer Munro's family. (Church History Vo. 3, page 92/93, 140, and Vol. 4 page 14). Her travels can be plotted by the births of Lovina's children which she wrote in her family record. Lovina's Record (can be found in the book "Descendants of George Palmer and Phebe Draper" by Sarah Palmer Collinwood, p. 36b):

William Munro was born Upper Canada, Louborough, December 2, 1835

Lydia Alice Brandon was born May 24, 1852 at Provo City, Utah Territory.
Susan Janet brandon was born July 8, 1855 at Provo City, Utah Territory.]

For the next several years, her life was one of hardship and struggle. Her Brother William Draper Jr., and the Ebenezer Brown family accompanied them when they settled in Pleasantville, Pike County, Illinois.

In the year 1836 [in Kirtland, Ohio], Joseph Smith, Sr., gave her a blessing of comfort and promise. He told her if she was faithful and wise she would be blessed with a companion who would be a man of God, and that she would be able to bring up her family right; that she would have good, happy days.

She suffered the hardships of the Saints, being driven from Kirtland to Nauvoo, Illinois, where the one promise of her blessing was fulfilled by her marriage to Ebenezer Brown on August 26 or 28,1842 at Pleasantville, Pike County, Illinois. The marriage was performed by her brother, William Draper, as was the marriage of her son William George Palmer and Susan Draper. [No children are known to have been born to Phebe from this marriage], Ebenezer's first wife, Ann Weaver, died on June 24, 1842, leaving him with a family of four children. They were driven from their comfortable homes in Illinois. They had moved to Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois at the direction of the church. They found no peace and were driven into the wilderness, where they were camping in the year1846 on their way to the Rocky Mountains.

When Captain James Allen required that Brigham Young make a call for 500 men to join the U.S. Army to fight the Mexican War, Ebenezer and Phebe answered the call, taking her son Zemira Palmer with her. Their combined remaining eleven children were left with Ebenezer's oldest daughter, 21 year old Harriet Brown Stratton and her husband Oliver Stratton, while Ebenezer and Phebe went with the Mormon Battalion. Ebenezer was a 2nd Sergeant with Company "A" while Phebe was chosen to be a cook, nurse, laundresses. She was a kind-hearted woman and throughout the entire journey many of the burdens of the soldiers were lightened by her sympathy.

At Santa Fe, New Mexico there was a lot of sickness and many soldiers were sent to meet their families in the Salt Lake Valley under the leadership of Captain James Brown of Company "C". They continued on but new leadership of the Battalion, poor medical help, rough terrain, lack of water, and inadequate clothing made the rest of the march unbearable.

Phebe was one of the women selected to make the trip to San Diego, California, which they reached on January 29, 1847, and because they were without funds, they reenlisted for another year. Ebenezer was not mustered out of service until March 14, 1848, their first enlistment had been for twelve months.

Phebe, with her husband and son Zemira, traveled north where they participated in the search for gold in and around Sutter's Fort, Sacramento, California. The three of them helped wash gold on the American River. Brigham Young called them to Utah. With the aid of the gold nuggets they had found, they did so, and began their journey to join the Saints who had gathered in Utah. Phebe rode a mule (whose name was Ginny), all the way from California to Utah.  They were reunited with their children in the fall of 1849.

In 1849, Ebenezer settled in South Willow Creek, later renamed Draper (after Phebe's brother, William Draper). Phebe moved from Salt Lake in the spring of 1850 with the children, they being the first family to settle in Draper. It is possible that common schools began before 1852 in the South Willow Creek settlement, but no documentary evidence has been established. Tradition indicates that "Phebe Brown, wife of Ebenezer Brown, kept school ‘for the little ones in summer time’ but we are not told when or where her school was held." (One Hundredth Anniversary of the Draper Ward, p. 12) Her teaching could have been between 1849 and 1852 when the school/meetinghouse was finished.

In the winter of 1850, Ebenezer and his wife Phebe welcomed Phebe’s brother William Draper as they settled in South Willow Creek. William Draper was then called to preside as bishop of Draper, Utah. By 1852 twenty families had settled in South Willow Creek, making food rather scarce. Many settlers were forced to live on sego-lily bulbs, chokecherries and other wild fruits and plants found in the canyons and foothills of the settlement. These foods didn’t always supply the needed nourishment. A majority of the pioneers had emigrated from parts of the world where 30 to 40 inches of rain fell annually. Until coming to the desert in Utah Territory with its insufficient rainfall, no one had taken time to think about irrigation. Snow captured in the mountains made irrigation water plentiful in the spring and early summer, but it diminished by mid-July and into the fall months as mountain snow melted to give up the cold, clear water to canyon streams rushing to the valley floor. The reduced streams caused irrigation problems, so that thirsty, wilting gardens and lost harvests forced the pioneers to develop ditch systems and flood-irrigation methods still used in parts of Draper to this day.

With Phebe's approval, Ebenezer answered his call to practice the principle of polygamy. On May 19, 1853, her husband married Elsie Samantha Pulsipher, and on October 29, 1854, he married Mary Elizabeth Wright. In 1870, Mary died and on April 29, 1877, Samantha died, each leaving a large family of children, which Phebe took care of, Phebe also raised the children from Ebenezer's first wife, Ann Weaver, making four families she had reared. She acted as first postmistress of Draper and held a responsible position in the Relief Society. She was a well read woman and had a fair education for that time. Her dedication to the Church never wavered. She was active in the Relief Society and was well known for her compassion for others.

Ebenezer Brown died in 1878. Phebe lived in Draper until her death on February 28, 1879, being 81 years of age...

Zemira "Jim" Palmer
Zemira Palmer was born August 9, 1831at W. Loughborough, Frontenac, Ontario, Canada, the son of Phebe Draper and George Palmer IV and twin brother of Eliza Palmer. After the death of his father in 1833 his mother married Ebenezer Brown on August 26, 1842, and when she was given the privilege of accompanying her husband on the march of the Mormon Battalion, Zemira asked to go with them. Although he was not old enough to be a soldier he was given permission by the officers in charge to go provided he could carry a gun and all the other necessary equipment. His mother, knowing the need of a growing boy for extra food, often purposely burned the bread served to the officers so that they would cut off the blackened crusts. These she saved for Zemira who said they tasted better than a piece of pie under other circumstances.

In "A Concise History of the Mormon Battalion in the Mexican War" Sergeant Daniel Tyler states that Zemira served the Mormon Battalion as a servant to Colonel James Allen until Allen's death. He then served Dr. George B. Sanderson from Fort Leavenworth to Santa Fe; then served Lieutenant Lorenzo Clark until the corps were discharged in San Diego.

After the disbanding of the Battalion in Los Angeles, Zemira helped his parents pan gold in order to get an outfit and enough provisions to join the Saints in Utah.. According to Lois Palmer Allen, Zemira returned to Salt Lake with other young men of the Battalion not with Ebenezer Brown and his mother.

...
Zemira Palmer and Sally Knight Palmer -- near 1916

On December 1, 1851 Zemira married Sally Knight, daughter of Newel Knight and Lydia Goldthwaite Knight. They were the parents of twelve or fourteen children, Alma Zemira Palmer, Emma Palmer, Newell Palmer, Lydia Palmer, Phebe Palmer, James Palmer, William Palmer, George Palmer, Asael Palmer, Jesse Milo Palmer, Mary Palmer, Martha Palmer, Joseph Palmer, and Chloe Palmer. In his later years he was called to live in the United Order in southern Utah where he served as one of the leaders. Sally died in 1916 in Orderville, Kane, Utah

On March 30, 1856 he married (2) Caroline Jacques, they had eight children. Caroline died in 1877 in Orderville, Kane, Utah.

Zemira died at the age of 49 years in Orderville, Utah on October 22, 1880.

FIRST HUSBAND of Phebe Draper Palmer Brown

George Palmer Jr
Birth date of 13 July 1795 was written by Phebe Draper Palmer, his wife, in her handwritten Family Record, read page 10c in FHL Book 929.273 P182c, The Descendants of GEORGE PALMER & PHEBE DRAPER, l963, Sarah P. Collinwood, 2000 on FHL Film 1321255, item l. Alma Z. Palmer was baptised & endowed for his grandfather, George Palmer, and that record also gave his birth as 13 July 1795 in Canada (p.548, Film #170852 & F#170543, St. George Temple). The father of this George shows in Vol.II of ENCYCLOPEDIA OF Ontario, under Cramahe township, that his father George Palmer (Sr) is named along with 40 other families who took up land in Cramahe and adjoining Haldimand Township in 1793. Cramahe is the place where George Junior was born and did marry there to Phebe

DRAPER on 8 April 1815.

George is the third son of George Palmer and Hannah Wilkinson Palmer. He is called the younger and Junior when in the same documents shown with his father, George Palmer (Sr), in Cramahe Township records. The Cramahe Baptist Church record gave his father, George Palmer, accepted on July 7, 1798, & his mother, Hannah Palmer, was baptised in that same Baptist Church in Sept. 1801. George is counted with his parents, his brothers: Joshua, Elijah, Elisha, William, Wilkinson, Isaac & Annis and his sisters Charity, Phebe, & Rebecca on the Cramahe Township

Census records every year, until he joins the Military for three years, 1812-1815. Then he recieves promise of 100 acres for his service to King George the 4th, & on Patent by Nov 23, 1820 & Grant by 12 December 1820, when he sells his 100 acres in Lot 9, concession 4.

He shows as the first son to leave the home at Cramahe to serve King George the 4th in the War with the Americans in the Glengarry Light Infantry Fencible Regiment for three years, 1812 to 1815. America calls it War of 1812 Near the end of his Military, he is stationed at his hometown of Cramahe during Feb. March and discharged April 2, 1815, with some cash on hand and a promise of land.

He is now 21 and he did marry Phebe Draper on the 8 April 1815, one week after his official release. They had known each other since her father, William Draper (Sr) moved his family into Cramahe before 1809, and they lived by his parents, George Palmer III & Hannah Wilkinson; only two lots from Phebe's grandfather Thomas Draper II. George Palmer's older brother, Joshua Palmer had married Phebe's aunt Lucretia Draper the year before. (FHL Film 183,370, Bk D, NV).!5/2000, a great SOURCE was purchased which brought us George Palmer Jr, his parents, brothers and sisters: It is DISTRICT CLERKS of the PEACE for Cramahe and Haldimand Townships in Upper Canada, MUNICIPAL RECORDS/ PAO- Province Archive Ontario, RG 21, Newcastle District, CENSUS & ASSESSMENTS OF Cramahe & Haldimand Townships in Northumberland County, Upper Canada. Archives of Ontario, 77 Grenville St, Unit 300,

TORONTO, Canada M7 A2 R9, or M4S 1B3, No FHLC LISTINGS by May so purchased these great records, second only to land records. They tell what, who, when & where the members of George PALMER Jr's FAMILY lived, their religion, native of Canada, British Origin, and much more.

These are early EXCELLENT RECORDS not found on FHLC LISTINGS, THEREFORE PURCHASED by the Wesley Palmer Family Organization (since June l926 2000. They have been read and tell us dates, Lot and concession numbers where the head of the household lived, the ages & number of persons in the home. Some years their religion and nationality. 1848 & 1850, George's brothers Joshua Palmer & Elijah Palmer, the two sons who still lived there gave NATIVE OF CANADA, BRITISH ORIGIN; they tell us that George Palmer Jr has moved into Haldimand by 1821, 1822, and removed again from there before 25 Apr 1823. They remove to LOUGHBOROUGH TWP IN FRONTENAC COUNTY, UPPER CANADA, where his brother, Joshua and wife Lucretia Draper Palmer also come to live during years of l825 to 1835. They all live on 300 acres of the property of Thomas Draper Jr., s/o Thomas Draper Sr, who had also come to live & die here.

HUSBAND
George Palmer Jr (IV)
(Continued)

Yes, their parent George Palmer Sr, was from Twyford, Leicestershire, England, mother Hannah also, and she died by June 1832. George Sr. died between 4 and 21 of DEC 1833, although he shows as assessed in 1834. The l835

Census shows NO GEORGE PALMER nor HANNAH PALMER.
April 1816 Census of Cramahe we see George Palmer Jr as #71, shows with wife (Phebe) living six homes to William Draper, his father-in-law.

1819 Census of Cramahe, George Palmer Jr, wife, l son, l dau under 16, with 4 acres cultivated, 96 not.

Apr 1820 #l36 George Palmer Jr (IV), wife (Phebe), l female (Lovina b.20 Jul 1816), 1 male (Asahel b.26 Jan 1819), Cramahe Twp. Also seen are his bros Joshua #l34 & Elijah #137, their father #61 George Sr, with wife [Hannah], l male & l female over 16, 2 males under 16, living on Lot 30, lst Concession.

In search of prime records made by George Palmer, the Wesley Palmer Family made 2 trips into Canada. First in 1948, then in June 1955, which proved to bring original copies of two Grants from the Kings to George, his father, and a grant to George Palmer, called Jr and the younger. These two grants can also be read from the above Book pages 30 b,c,d,& e. George Palmer Sr shows on Patent of 200 acres after he had cultivated, cleared brush, built a cabin of round logs, and paid his fees by 1799. George Palmer Junior's land of 100 acres for his service during 1812-1815, was held as Servitude (read at the bottom of his Land grant). It shows on the Patent pg.18, not until 23 Nov, 1820, when he had done very little with his land. This is the date he got the 100 acres in his name, had paid fees. (FHL Film 197743, dated 23 Nov l820) Now he could do whatever he wished with his property.

The Land Deed, called memorial #766, shows that George Palmer, Yeoman on 14 Dec 1820, of Cramahe Twp, for only 75 pounds sells his one hundred acres in Lot #9, 4th Concession to George Drewry, yeoman of Cramahe Township; witnessed by William Draper (his father-in-law), (FHL FILM 197,799, pg.l67/8 Cramahe Twp, Northumberland, Ontario).

!George Palmer Jr (IV) was not a farmer, but a Cobler like his great grandfather William Preston, who lived in [Rearsby] Leicester, England; also as told by his wife Phebe's younger brother, Zemira Draper, who gave that he learned the shoemaking business from his uncle, George Palmer Jr.

His younger brother Isaac's Patriarchal Blessing given Mar 25, 1852, at Great Salt Lake, Utah Territory, gave his parents as George and Hannah Palmer; that Isaac Palmer was born 24 May 1806 at Cramahe. This uncle cared for George [& Phebe Palmer's] daughter Rhoda Palmer and took her to Utah while George's widow [now married to Ebenezer Brown], Phebe Draper Palmer (Brown) was in the military for the United States, The Mormon Battalion 1847-49. (copy of Isaac's Blessing from his direct descendants, Mellani Phelps 1992 & Janell Palmer Reeve in l998),1828 Militia record of Northumberland County, we find five Palmers, brothers of George Jr, listed there: Elijah age 36, Sgt, 4th Company, William age 28, 6th Company, Wilkinson age 25, Isaac age 23 and a David age 21, in 3rd Company, (could this be Annis, and he used David, not caring for his name?).

Apr 1821 George Palmer had moved his family from Cramahe to HALDIMAND TOWNSHIP, we see on census & assessment of HALDIMAND TOWNSHIP, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, our George Palmer Jr with wife, 1 son and 1 dau under l6, assessed for 2 horses, no land. l822 Census gave George Palmer Jr. with wife, 2 sons (Wm Geo was b. 25 Aug 1821), at HALDIMAND Township.

A Letter written on 25 Apr 1823, by the Census Taker to his Supervisor explains why the report showed less numbers than the year before. He sent a list of 18 family names, which gave George Palmer Junior with five in his family, along with the other seventeen families, had all moved out of Haldimand before that Census of 1823 was taken. (Municipal Records films 2,3 & 4).

We find George & Phebe Palmer with their first three children have moved into LOUGHBOROUGH TOWNSHIP, FRONTENAC COUNTY, MIDLAND DISTRICT, which the map shows is over 100 kilometers east from Haldimand and near the big city of Kingston. We believe they removed and lived on the 300 acres of land which was owned by Phebe's uncle, Thomas Draper Jr. Here her parents, William & Lydia Lathrop Draper had also moved earlier, and her two sisters, Lydia Draper [married Frederick Matthew Van Leuven on Feb 14, 1808] & Fanny Draper were married [his brother John Van Leuven] on 23 Jan 1824 and her brother William Draper Jr [married Elizabeth Staker] on 11 June 1827 at Diocese of Kingston, obtained from St. George's Church Diocese of Ontartio at 90 Johnson St, Kingston, Ont. K7L 1X7 & in Register Bk 97l,3 V2 pp 29-34). It is very possible that George Palmer [IV] found work in Kingston, and/or sold shoes and other leather items there. Here their Eliza Palmer was born 31 May 1824, then Lydia Elizabeth Palmer. on 15 Oct 1826 and Zemira Palmer was born on 9 Aug l831, all in LOUGHBOROUGH TOWNSHIP, Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada.

HUSBAND
George Palmer Jr
(Continued)

It is said that their Eliza died here in a fire in this forest and lakes area in l832. Then their last child Rhoda Palmer was born on 15 March 1834, (Allred Book and her story tell her family that she was born after her father had died). This was the time and place for them to be, for soon the missionaries came to Kingston area. A Church History record states on l833 Brigham Young with other missionaries had organized a branch at Loughborough. Phebe attended the preaching and on 17 Feb l833 she was baptised, very likely at this branch.

Such a record may some day show names of those who were baptised there, which included her two brothers, her father William Draper Sr, and her two sisters, that we know they were baptized in Canada.

It is told that George Palmer Jr didn't join the Church, but greatgrandson Wesley Palmer tells he would have had it been explained to his understanding. We do know that he lived only a short time after Phebe was baptized at the Branch that the missionaries had formed in this area. We also read that his Bro. Johsua Palmer's family shows on the Census of l839 that his religion was Mormon. A talk Aug. 2002 by Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley told of his grandparent, Hinckley, age 38 years, who had died in Canada (near this place) from the smallpox epidemic and wonders if it might have been the same epidemic that took George Palmer at only 38 years of age.

George Palmer Jr died either 4 or 8 Dec l833, as given by two descendants of his son William George Palmer. Phebe soon gave birth to her seventh child, Rhoda Palmer on 15 March 1834. Phebe was only 36 years old and George was only 38 & 1/2 years old when he died. Their daughter, Lovina Palmer, had married to Henry I. Munro there in Loughborough on 3 March l834. She remained there for the birth her lst child [William Charles Munro born December 2, 1835], then they show with her mother, Phebe Palmer, at Kirtland, Ohio, by 6 Mar 1838, her Patriarchal Blessing date. Also Munroe is listed with Kirtland Camp to travel to Missouri. Phebe & most of her Drapers never go to Missouri, but travel across Illinois to Pleasantvale, Pike, Illinois. Munro & brother Asahel Munro, at Sangamon County, IL; but by 2/1845 Munro's are with mother in Bear Creek settlement, Hancock Co., IL.

Search for data while George & Phebe were in Loughborough, Debra sent the Encyclopedia of Ontario, Vol.II, Places in Ontario, Page 575 speaks of churches and schools, I quote: "There was a large number of Mormons in early LOUGHBOROUGH, partly as a result of the visit of the Mormon Leader, Brigham Young in 1833. The first school in Loughborough opened in 1819 by George Rutledge, the first teacher". One ROBT BJERKE, PHD saw & took notes from a VOLUME-MSS, Education, General, kept by George Rutledge, date 1819, it may have other census record than just 1819 & death records, school records, etc.

!A letter to the Local Glenburne Family History brought only dates of much later time than 1834/35 when the Drapers left Canada. Perhaps with her great UNCLE THOMAS DRAPER Jr who we find in Kirtland, Ohio, with the camp who have traveled and reached Edgar County, IL on 7th of April 1838. He is found in Ross Twp, Pike County, Illinois Census of 1840.

Lois & Ben Allen Visit 6/l964 at the courthouse in Pittsfield, Pike county, IL, where brother William George Palmer shows married to Susan Draper Feb l824 and his mother Mrs. Phebe Draper Palmer married Ebenezer Brown 28 Aug, l828.

1838, Sept 6, We find George's Phebe with her brother Zemira Draper, with a Camp going to Missouri, but the Drapers stop at EDGAR County,IL.& go west to Pike. By June 1840 census, we find Phebe Palmer and her parents Wm & Lydia Lathrop Draper, their sons Wm Jr., Zemira, Alfred and Marvin, Wm Sr's brother Thomas Draper Jr all are living in Pike County, IL. at a place they called Pleasantvale Preinct. Only the Draper Book gave that William Jr was in the trials of the Missouri period of those years just before this date, but not Phebe. We next find her listed in the early records of Hancock County, IL, but lived in Bear Creek settlement by 1844, and when daughter Lovina & Henry Munroe show in attendance at that place in Feb. 1845 conference (VanLueven Bk [-- Lydia Draper and Fannie Draper had married Van Leuven brothers]).

!In Cramahe we note houses made of round logs, then houses with additional fireplaces added, frame houses, etc, their acreage cultivated and uncultivated, saw mills, blacksmiths, etc., animals on farms, amount assessed, Religion- long list of Churches, the Nationality-ours gave Natives of England, not Scotland or Ireland, but British Origin was marked for Joshua and Elijah, who were still living there in Cramahe for the 1848, l851 even l861 record, and their children as natives of Canada. The area was named Colborne Village, all in Cramahe Township, Nothumberland Co. today-Ontario.

!The Drapers are there also from 1804-1817, Thomas leaves Cramahe and goes to live with son, Thomas Draper Jr. & died at Loughborough, but probably buried near his wife, Lydia Rogers Draper who had died 1807 at Richmond

Township, Lennox & Addington County, Canada at her son's place, Thomas Draper Jr.

1808-1811 George Palmer Jr with his parents, George & Hannah Palmer Sr.

1812-1815 George Jr is away to be in the War with the Americans.

1816-1818 Census show George Jr with wife only.

1819, April Census he with wife, one female & one male under l6, 4 acres cultivated and 96 uncultivated. Shown on Patent record by 23 Nov.1820.

1820, George Palmer Jr, wife, & one female, 1 son, 4 acres cultivated, 96 not. George sells his Bounty Land of 100 acres in Lot 9, concession 4 in Dec 1820.

Neither George Palmer Junr, nor his father-in-law, William Draper, were farmers. George Palmer Jr. was a cobbler, like his great grandfather William Preston; ALSO Zemira Draper, gave that he had learned the shoemaking trade from George Palmer Jr, his brother-in-law.

1820, November, husband George had done very little cultivating as they called it, and is listed on the PATENT records with 100 acres property in his name. By Dec 1820, George has sold his 100 acres to George Drewrey for only 95 pounds. George & Phebe move from Cramahe into Haldimand Township by 1821.

1823, 25 April, the Census taker wrote on his report of Haldimand Township record that George Palmer Junr moved out, as did l7 other families; Also Phebe's parents, William & Lydia Draper's family had moved. Research tells they all moved to LOUGHBOROUGH where they lived on the 300 acres that Thomas Draper Jr, (& Mary Mosier, his wife) had purchased in Frontenac County, Midland District, Ontario, Canada, where by 23 Jan 1824 sister Fanny Adelia Draper had md John Van Leuven Jr, at Kingston, Frontenac County.

1833, 17 Feb - Phebe Draper Palmer joins the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, while they lived at Loughborough where a Branch was organized. In a short time after she was baptized, her husband, George Palmer Jr, died [4 Dec 1833] there in Loughborough Township. Recent articles have spoken of smallpox epidemic, and this may be the reason for much sorrow. George was only 38 1/2 years of age; and Phebe only 36 in Oct, with six children to care for, and expecting her seventh child soon.

1834, 15 March - Rhoda Palmer, their last child, was born at Loughborough. Rhoda gave her father died before she was born (The Allred Book 929.273Al57a Vol.l) This daughter was left 7/l846 with her granduncle, ISSAC & ANN WAMSLEY PALMER while her mother, Phebe Palmer (Brown) & her son Zemira Palmer were in the War with Mexico, The Mormon Battalion March of 1846-1847, 2000 miles.

1836, 28 March, Mrs. Phebe PALMER received her PATRIARCHAL BLESSING while in Kirtland from Joseph Smith Sr. Surely the Drapers participated in the marvelous events of the Kirtland TEMPLE DEDICATION. A Willian Draper was made a Priest by D.C. Smith at Kirtland according to Church History.

1836, March 6th - Draper men at the meeting of Seventies held in Kirtland for Kirtland Camp. A constitution formed.

Lovina & Husband Henry Munroe & child; Zemira Draper, which included Phebe Palmer & four children; Alfred Draper, Phebe's brother, and Cornelius Vanleuven left the camp. (pg l37 & l38, Vol.3, History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by Joseph Smith, Himself

l838, Sept l0th, we read more about the Camp, who have arrived in Edgar County, Ilinois, 494 miles from Kirtland, on their way to join the saints in Missouri, but the above named and others drop out and remain in Illinois. Zemira Draper married Ellen Agnes Bradshaw in 1838, in what has been given as Eager County, but I find only Edgar County named in Illinois.

The map shows they crossed the state of Illinois, almost straight across, not into Missouri. They found and named a place, Pleasant Vale in Pike County, Illinois, where they lived for a time, & ZEMIRA DRAPER & his first wife, Ellen BRADSHAW gave birth to a son, she & baby died the day of the birth. They no doubt missed the atrocities to the saints in Missouri.

1840- June U.S. Census of Pleasant Vale Precinct, Pike Co.,IL. shows the Drapers with PHEBE DRAPER PALMER called Farmer & Parmer on early Census record read & copied by Lois Allen, are living together.

MRS. PHEBE DRAPER PALMER married 2nd, to EBENEZER BROWN, no children.1842, Aug 28 - here at Pleasant Vale, Pike, IL. Mrs.Phebe Palmer md Ebenezer Brown (License & Certificate xerox obtained l964 by personal visit) Phebe had helped care for his ill wife, Ann Weaver. Soon, Browns, & Drapers accept the Prophet Joseph Smith's message to gather with the Saints in Hancock County, IL. They settle at Bear Creek, Hancock Co. IL; her bro. Zemira Draper & 2nd wife Amy Terry, his parents Wm & Lydia Draper and Zemira Palmer lived at Morley settlement in Hancock County, closer to Carthage than City of Nauvoo, but close to Phebe at Bear Creek Branch.

1844, 8 April, Phebe goes to the Nauvoo Temple and is baptised for her deceased husband, George Palmer. This gives every evidence that she was married on that day & month, but in the YEAR of 1815 at Cramahe Township, Northumberland County, in Ontario, Canada, then called Newcastle District.

1845, Feb 10- a Conference was held by the BEAR CREEK Branch, where Phebe, her daus Phebe & Rhoda as Browns, but should have been written as Palmers; her dau. Lovina Palmer & husband Henry Munroe listed there. Ebenezer Brown councillor. (read in Call #929.273/V234v, The VanLuvan Book in SLC FH Center

1845 Dec 24, Phebe goes to lst Nauvoo temple, along with her 2nd husband, Ebenezer Brown, where they have their endowment, she is listed as Phebe Draper.

1847-1849 Mormon Battalion in California, Phebe named as one of the four or five women who made the entire March with the Mormon Battalion Military, only battalion with a name rather than a number. They are at Sutter's Mill with Captain James Brown when gold is discovered. They pan for gold after work at that place and go to Great Salt Lake, and Draper, Utah, at age 53, (that was old for that generation) What a great lady. She runs the Post Office in Draperville, cares for his young wives who die young, then she cares for their children.

1850 - United States Census shows Phebe Draper Palmer Brown, age 53 at Great Salt Lake, Utah Territory, p.131, #610 with [Joseph] Gurnsey Brown age 26, & Ebenezer's 3 children. Most censuses were taken more than once in a year and from Ward records.

1850, 4 Nov-Son Asahel Palmer age 30, with wife, Evaline age 28, Phebe age 7, Emaline age 2, & baby Earoin, who must have died soon never seen again. This was the only year that Asahel's family were shown in Dekalb County, IL

By 5/1997, an ADDENDUM with NEW RECORDS of her DRAPERS & PALMERS in Cramahe, Ontario, Canada, has been given the same call number as her Book, 929.273 Pl82c, Supp(lement) added under same call number, but it should have read ADDENDUM, with INDEX of those SURNAMES FOUND by 1995-1999 has been added to the book on shelves. l999 a FILM was made of Lois P.Allen's Supplement by SLC Family History Library & given FHL Film #2,055,478, which gave the names of eight sons, possible 9, last son was Annis Palmer [Annis David Palmer] found from the Municipal records of George & Hannah Wilkinson Palmer Sr, and their 3 or 4 daughters at Cramahe township, Northumberland County, Newcastle District, Ontario, Canada.

!5/2000 the Wesley Palmer Family Organization purchased for $288.24, 9 rolls of Municipal Records of Newcastle District, including Northumberland & Durham counties & Cramahe Township and the others shown on maps. They contain Census and Assessments taken every year from 1803 through 1840/l, deposited in Mesa Family History Center under M-24l3 through M-2421. We did read & searched them for Palmers & Drapers. You search & find any others you need.

2003 The Drapers are being searched by Joy & Roy which will show Phebe's correct ancestry-Wm Draper Sr, Thomas Draper Sr & Lydia Rogers. Our Thomas Draper whose parents were in Rhode Island, not Massachusetts.

Our Thomas & Lydia lived in several states before going to Ontario Province at Cramahe Township, Northumberland & Loughborough, Frontenac, Ontario, Canada.

!1924, Oct l - visits with Phebe's grandchildren & records of all facts known by them, Wesley's researchers & temple workers had the sealing of Phebe Draper to her husband George Palmer Jr. done on OCTOBER 1st, 1924 in the SALT LAKE TEMPLE, and their seven children sealed to them that day. Research of 2003/4 did let us know that Phebe with Asahel, Wm George, Lydia, Zemira and Rhoda, had the support of her Draper family; that she remains close by them; that they all choose to join the other Saints in Kirtland, Ohio, from 1835 to 1838, then to Edgar County, to Pike County, Il. to settlements in and around Nauvoo, Hancock, IL.

July 13, 1846 The first of the volunteer companies of the Mormon Battalion was enlisted in response to a request delivered to Brigham Young two weeks earlier by Capt. James Allen of United States Army. The Battalion left from Fort Leavenworth [Kansas}on July 20, and arrived in San Diego, CA on Jan 29, l847, yet an article reads: Feb 19, The Battalion left Tucson, (Arizona), suffered from overmarching & want of food and water.

A marvelous Pageant A RAM IN THE THICKET by Kevin E. Palmer & mother, Wanda West Palmer was given for Phebe's 200 year anniversary, with story of his grandfather, Preston Palmer who visits his grandmother, Sally Knight wife of Zemira Palmer. It was done in story, action and music of the Mormon Battalion, entitled Ram in a Thicket. A great production and should be a church play some day.

2000/2002 Kevin Palmer did work much to have a Peek or place to show for our Phebe, but Clinton signed a proclamation that sealed up all Government areas as prohibitive for such. But the scouts do visit a place near Maricopa Wells, where a plaque was placed that reads Dec 25, 1846, The Mormon Battalion spent Christmas Day

here; that the Indians told them of a route to the coast that was a short cut; that they arrived in January 1847 at San Diego, California. Phebe Draper Palmer Brown with husband Ebenezer and son Zemira Palmer were there. They find work at Sutter's Hill and Gold is discovered, where they also pan for gold after work hours

1850, Phebe's brother William Draper Jr is the first Presiding Elder for Draper, where also her father WILLIAM DRAPER Sr. lived, blessed many souls, died and is buried there 24 Dec 1854.

Isaac had brought to Great SL Phebe's own daughter, Rhoda, then named their daughter Rhoda Ann after Phebe's Rhoda. 1854, Dec 24 - Her father William Draper Sr died there at Draper, Salt Lake, Utah. He blessed many homes with his presence and lifted many downhearted spirits with his love for them. He was buried in the Draper City Cemetery, It reads:PATRIARCH & PIONEER born 9/6/1776 (he gave 1774) His descendants have placed a very impressive headstone over his grave.

Following is a quote from a Draper resident "Brown was appointed Postmaster, but Phebe was the POSTMISTRESS in their new adobe home at 12661 S. 1000 E. or Fort Street then. She said her piece at town meetings when needed.

A remarkable Christian woman, she visited the sick, helped the needy and took clothing and vittles to those who had lost their homes in fire, storm or whatever cause, and Ebenezer would help rebuild the home when weather set in.

The homeless would find a temporary home with the Browns. Phebe walked many blocks to help others when she heard of their need and visited the widows and their children to be assured their wants were cared for, although the rough pioneer exterior showed outwardly, her heart was warm and loving within".

1860 Census of Draper, territory of Utah: Ebenezer Brown 58, farmer, Phebe 63, both born New York; Mary age 23, wife; Samantha age 23 wife & 4 of their children; and others, Phebe outlived them and cared for their children also (FHL film 805,313).

So pressed with much work in the Cotton Farm and fruit trees to be planted. The heading reads: Orderville Cotton Farm, which he said was a little above Washington, Washington County, Territory of Utah. Called Orderville United Order, but not at the town of Orderville. He asked that she write him again and he would try to come soon.

Jan 30, l879, he writes: Dear Mother, your letter of the 3rd inst did not come to hand until the 25th. Very glad to hear from you & Lovina, but sorry to learn you were still suffering severely. I hope it will not last long. (heading Orderville Cotton Farm, original copy came after the Book was printed. So guard it well for your collection of Zemira's short life span. (from Sarah's searches, not Lovina's copying) Mother, Phebe died February 28, l879, at Draper, Salt Lake, Utah; and her son Zemira died on 22 Oct 1880. Death & burial: Tomstone at Draper, Utah, a new stone laid 1999, reads: PHEBE DRAPER PALMER BROWN, next line, OCT 9, 1797, next line-died February 28, 1879, last two lines, First Woman settler in Draper, Mormon Battalion Trek. It was a 2000 mile March, the longest in history of the U.S. Military Battalions, only one with a name, rather than a number.

Census 1816 Household #71-George Palmer Jr. with wife, in MUNICIPAL Records, RG 21, PAO-Province of Ontario, Cramahe Township MS-16, Reel 2 M2414 & M2415

Her Family Record written by her, only one page found, a xerox copy in poss. and can be seen on page 10c of The Book quoted above & now in FHL Film No. l,321,355. By 5/1997, an ADDENDUM with NEW RECORDS of her DRAPERS & PALMERS in Cramahe, Ontario, Canada, has been given the same call number as her Book, 929.273 Pl82c-SUPPL, but should have read ADDENDUM. INDEX of those SURNAMES FOUND by 1995-1999 has been added to the book on shelves. l999 a FILM has been made & given number FHL Film #2,055,478.

Her husband George, by whom she had 7 children, was dismissed from Military April 2, 1815, was stationed at Cramahe, his home town, from Feb, Mar, and on 2 Apr 1815 he was released from his 3 years service, and they were married soon, on the 8th of April, 1815, probably by the Baptist Preacher, Reuben Crandell who didn't write, but the clerks did, but no marriages found in FHL Film #897919 of Baptist Church at Wicklow; or Film #8033,490, Baptist Church in Cramahe, Canada, which showed George Jr's father, George Palmer accepted by the brethern on 7 July l798, and his mother, Hannah Palmer shows baptised 29 Sept or Oct l80l; and baptisms of Phebe's mother as Lydda Draper, bapt 25 July 1818 at that Baptist Church.

Phebe was taken into Canada in early 1807 when her parents, she, Charles (not her brother, but a cousin, son of Thomas Jr. Draper), her 3 sisters Mary, Lucretia, & Fanny went to visit grandmother, Lydia Rogers Draper, who was ill. These grandparents, Thomas & Lydia Rogers Draper went to Cramahe by 1803 bought land, and he lived there until l8l8. LYDIA ROGERS DRAPER was in RICHMOND TWP, LENNOX & ADDINGTON County, Midland District for her illness, better amenities, where she died between Feb & Apr 1807, this place was where her eldest child Thomas Draper Jr owned land until l824/5.

Phebe's family remained there until her brother Wm Jr was born on 24 Apr 1807 at Richmond Twp; then Wm Sr too his family to live with his father, Thomas at CRAMAHE Township where her grandfather Thomas Draper's family of ten children, all born in U.S. had gone to live by 1804. Also where George & Hannah Palmer Sr's family had lived as early as 1793 and believed to be from Rutland County, Vermont, colonies in which became United States of America, where George Palmer Sr had petitioned for land, not obtained.

So it was that Phebe knew George Jr from 7 Oct 1809, when her sister Lydia Draper was born at Cramahe, Northumberland County. Their marriage must have been a fine spring wedding on the 8th of April 1815, at Cramahe, & Phebe shows that day & month when she takes herself long distance to Nauvoo from Bear Creek and she was baptized for her husband, George Palmer in 1844.

Their first two children, Lovina and Asahel, were born in Cramahe, while they lived on his newly acquired 100 acres, if there was a cabin built by winter time, otherwise they would be with his father, George Palmer Sr, who had a house made of round logs, as did all those early settlers there.

The census of Cramahe 1816 (taken every year l803 to 1834) shows that George & Phebe are in their own household, and the 1820 Census shows both George Palmer Jr & George Sr are with wives & children in separate households, also his brother, Joshua Palmer who married Phebe's aunt, Lucretia Draper, shows, as do Phebe's Drapers, Wm & Lydia Draper, her gdparents Thomas & Lydia Draper

George Palmer (Jr) sold his property in Cramahe and removed his family to HALDIMAND, the same Northumberland County in then Newcastle District, where also lived Phebe's father, Wm Draper, by 1819, & he had witnessed the deed for George to sell his 100 ACRES. By 1821 George had no land but was assessed with two horses. 1822 Census gave George & Phebe in Haldimand Twp with 2 sons and 1 daughter under 16; their son William George Palmer gave he was born in Aug 1821 at Haldimand Twp, Northumberland County. They may have lived with her parents, or with cousin Charles Draper who was also listed in Haldimand Township on that 1822 Census, nd in Northumberland County.

The Haldimand Township record by the Census Taker's written notice (xerox obtained), dated 25 April l823 to his Supervisor, shows names of l7 other families who, along with George Palmer Junr with five in his household, had moved out.

George & Phebe's Family removed to Loughborough Township in Frontenac County, Midland District, some 100 miles east, where her Uncle, Thomas Draper Jr, had 300 acres since 1818. Their last four children, Eliza, Lydia,

Zemira & Rhoda were born at Loughborough Twp, Frontenac County, Midland District. Phebe heard of and attended meetings held at West LOUGHBOROUGH, when Brigham Young joined his brothers and organized another branch at West Loughboro in l833 the Prophet, with Sidney Rigdon visited Canada and made a number of converts. (From Church Historian's Off. Canadian Mission, copied from a Journal History of the Church, Quote:"The first branch of Canada in Brittish America was called Ernesttown Branch...of Dec 3l,l832, we batized 45 souls & organizaed the West Loughborough branches in 1833. Phebe Draper Palmer was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on 17th of Feb 1833, the first of all her Drapers; but followed by brother Zemira Draper on the 19th, her father, William Sr, then her sisters Fanny & Lydia in March, and brother Wm Draper Jr. Could it not be possible that George and his bro. Joshua & wife Lucretia Draper Palmer may have also joined the church at that time. We find Joshua & Lucretia Palmer not showing on the yearly census of l824 to l834 in Cramahe, so feel sure they were here with his brother George and Lucretia's brother brother Thomas Draper Jr & wife Mary Mosier.

One record of Cramahe Township showed Joshua with ten in his family as Mormon.

As Phebe learned more of the principles of the gospel, she did make records to show her love and faith in her George Palmer and their children. Visits with Phebe's grandchildren & recording all facts known by them, Wesley's researchers & temple workers had the sealing of Phebe Draper to her husband George Palmer Jr. done on OCTOBER 1st, 1924 in the SALT LAKE TEMPLE, and their seven children were sealed to them that day. We feel sure George has joined the Church, that Phebe and George have been together, that together they have visited with their children & taught them of Christ & the great blessings of the temple.

!1834 & l835 records show us that Phebe Palmer with her children, Asahel, Wm George, Lydia, Zemira and Rhoda, have the support of her Draper family; that she remains close by them; that they all choose to leave Loughborough area in Canada and remove with them to be with the saints in Kirtland, Ohio.

On 28 MARCH 1836, at Kirtland, Lake, Ohio, Phebe recieved her Patriarchal Blessing. One record indicated it was given the day after the Kirtland Temple was dedicated. This gave her courage strength, advice and faith to go about blessing the lives of her six living children, which she did for the rest of their lives. She was a widow for eight and one half years following the early death of her dear husband, George Palmer. Her daughter Lovina & Henry Munro with their first child are found with Phebe also.

March 6 l838 through Sept 10, l838, we read from pages 90 thru 138 of the KIRTLAND CAMP ORGANIZED and the list of the men who signed up with the Camp, and those who did travel from Kirtland, Ohio, to EDGAR COUNTY, ILLINOIS, were Phebe's Drapers. Her brother Zemira gave 6 members of his group. We know that Phebe Palmer with four of her children, Wm George, Lydia, Zemira & Rhoda Palmer are in that Camp, and travel with her daughter Lovina & Henry Munroe; and other Drapers listed there including her parents, Wm & Lydia Draper, her brother Alfred Draper, her sisters Lydia Vanleuven & Fanny Vanleuven; and her uncle Thomas Draper Jr's family. The Draper Book implied that Phebe had gone to Missouri with her brother William, but now we know she did not go to MO.

The Draper Book was good, but did give the wrong Draper ancestry for Phebe, her father, William Draper's people, Wm is the son of Thomas Draper b. l744, who moved to Cramahe Twp, Northumberland County by 1804 in Newcastle District, Upper Canada, where he lived from l803 to l8l8, then went to live with his son, Thomas Draper Jr. in Loughborough, Frontenac County, and probably died there. His sons Carr, Clark & Joel remain for a time on their father's land in Cramahem then Clark goes to Kirtland, Lake, Ohio where he died June l84l; and his bro Thomas Jr
dies in Ross Twp, Pike, IL l84l. Carr Draper goes north of Toronto, York, while bro. Joel is at Orono, Clark, Durham, Ontario. Their father Thomas Draper Sr was born at Groton Twp, New London, Conn. l744 and is the son of William & Mary Draper of West Greenwich, Kent, Rhode Island, and d. at Exeer, Washington, R.I.

1840 Census of Pike County, IL, Phebe Parmer (Palmer), p.56, her house #148, age 43, son Wm George age 19, dau. Lydia E. l4, & dau Rhoda 6, son Zemira, age 9 was next door p.56/146 with Z(emira) Draper age 20/30, and her parents, William Sr & Lydia, ages between 60/70; p.l49 her bros: Wm p. 56/149 with 3 males, 1 female plus he and wife 30/40; bro Alfred R. age 20/30, wife, l male 0/5 & l female; bro Marvin Draper p.69 in film 007,645 age 20/30 with female; and uncle Thomas Draper Jr. age 71, wife 50/60, 3 sons-l 5/l0, l-l0/l5, l-l5/20, & l dau l0/l5, we believe she would be Susan, who married Wm George Palmer, Phebe's son on Feb 24, 1842, at Pleasantvalle, Pike, IL. Susan died soon, no child found.

The Nauvoo, IL. census shows Brown with Ann at Nauvoo, so he must have come later to Pleasantvalle, and where Phebe, as a neigbhor, assists in caring for his ill wife Ann, who died in June l842. Phebe married 8/28/1842 Ebenezer Brown, both her and son William George Palmer's marriages were performed by Phebe's brother Wm Draper Jr, minister of the Gospel, at Pleasantvalle, Pike, Ilinois. License & Certificate xerox obtained 1964 for both weddings and in LPA's possession.

Phebe 1842 as P.D. Palmer along with her married son, ASEL (Asahel) and wife Evaline Parmer on LDS Ward membership of Nauvoo & 1842 part tax for Asahel Palmer, read micro fiche #6,031,596, Vol.33, by Susan E. Black. Evaline seen in LDS BOOK, Vol.8, with letter C, 289.3 Ea85m, pp 994/5, and Palmers in Book 289/P6797e. William George goes to Sycamore, Dekalb,IL. 1847, & Asahel shows living in Dekalb County, IL on 1850 Census. 8 Apr 1844, a most important day in Phebe's life, for she was baptised for her husband, George Palmer (Jr) to show her love & desire to be his wife in the eternities. She was determined to be known as the Wife of GEORGE PALMER (altho md to E.Brown 28 Aug 1842). She took herself some long distance from Bear Creek, Hancock, IL. to Nauvoo to perform this act, which revelation later gave that men must do for men. So on 21 & 22 of June 1881 her gdson, Alma Zemira Palmer, did travel from Arizona Territory to perform baptism & endowment for his grandfather, George Palmer & gave his birth 13 July 1795 & place as Canada.

Feb. 1845, we find Phebe, her daus Lydia & Rhoda as Browns, but should have read Palmer, & dau Lovina as (Sovinia) & husband Henry Munroe all living at BEAR CREEK, Hancock IL. a Map shows "Spokes of the Wheel" places settled by the saints in Hancock County, IL. The Branch President was her sister, Lydia's husband, Frederick Matthew Van Leuven. (read in Van Leuven Book pp l02-l04 929.273/V234v).

24th DECEMBER 1845, Phebe & Ebenezer Brown travel to Nauvoo & receive their endowment. She is NOT sealed to Brown that day. Letter from Nauvoo Restoration Inc. tell us that Phoebe never lived in Nauvoo, but E. Brown with his lst wife, Ann Weaver, were shown there. Our Phebe & others in Canada spell their name-Phebe 1846, Apr 24, A temporary settlement of westward-moving saints was established at Garden Grove, LOVINA MUNRO at Bigler Branch; other Permanent camps were established at Mount Pisgah, IA, on MAY 18; At Council Bluffs, IA, June 14, & Winter Quarters, Neb. 1846. Phebe sees her daughters, but they remain in Iowa, Dau. LYDIA Elizabeth md Anthony BRUNO, lived at McKissick's Grove, Madison Twp, Fremont, Iowa, first called Hamburg, IA, by them.

Phebe's brother-in-law, ISAAC PALMER, was at Winter Quarters, IA or they met along the trail. After E.Brown joins the Army and Phebe & Zemira Palmer are accepted, Isaac & wife Ann Wamsley Palmer, TAKE RHODA PALMER into their camp home, and later to Great Salt Lake while PHEBE & ZEMIRA from 7/1846 to 7/1849 are in The MORMON BATTALION, A U.S. MILITARY BATTALION in war with Mexico, and brought our final borders known, which separate US & Mexico. July 13, 1846 The first of the volunteer companies of the Mormon Battalion was enlisted in response to a request delivered to Brigham Young two weeks earlier by Capt. James Allen of United States Army. The Battalion left from Fort Leavenworth on July 20, and arrived in San Diago, CA on Jan 29, l847, yet an article reads: Feb 19, The Battalion left Tucson, (Arizona), suffered from overmarching & want of food and water.

2000/2002 Kevin Palmer did work much to have a mountain Peek named for Phebe in the area of Maricopa mountains, Arizona, but tells that Clinton signed proclamation that sealed up all Government areas as prohitive for such. She will be more pleased with that, than a Statue with Brown, or copies of The Brown Book, The Draper Book, or Faith of Phebe, which books do not give Phebe's events with her husband & their children. She had no children by Brown, but reared his four children, who were living with them when they get to GT Salt Lake.

1850, two Censuses were taken, one shows Browns in Great Salt Lake, then one shows them in IRON COUNTY on 5/12/1851, Phebe age 53, Ebenezer age 49, his 3 sons & one daughter with them. Phebe's brother William Draper Jr is the first Presiding Elder for Draper, where also her father WILLIAM DRAPER Sr. lived, blessed many souls, died and is buried there 24 Dec 1854. One record shows that HER SON, Zemira Palmer & his Uncle ZEMIRA DRAPER, were couselors to Wm Draper Jr at Willow Creek, later called Draperville, then Draper Utah. When did the Browns finally go to Draper?

19 Jan 1853 Phebe at Salt Lake 9th Ward, Liberty Stake, when Rhody Ann Palmer, dau of Ann & Isaac Palmer, was blessed by Bishop Seth Taft, at the Sacrament Meeting as seen in the Minutes of that day. Liberty Stake in (F#0026, 851, p.201 & SL 9th Historical Record Film #LR 6093 2 or 6093 ll). Gurnsey Brown named and Phebe was there to support her b-i-l, Isaac Palmer for that event. Isaac had brought to Great SL Phebe's own daughter, Rhoda, then named their daughter Rhoda Ann after Phebe's Rhoda.

Following is a quote from a Draper resident "Brown was appointed Postmaster, but Phebe was the POSTMISTRESS in their new adobe home at 12661 S. 1000 E. or Fort Street then. She said her piece at town meetings when needed. A remarkable Christian woman, she visited the sick, helped the needy and took clothing and vittles to those who had lost their homes in fire, storm or whatever cause, and Ebenezer would help rebuild the home when weather set in. The homeless would find a temporary home with the Browns. Phebe walked many blocks to help others when she

heard of their need and visited the widows and their children to be assured their wants were cared for, although the rough pioneer exterior showed outwardly, her heart was warm and loving within".

!1860 Census of Draper, territory of Utah: Ebenezer Brown 58, farmer, Phebe 63, both born New York; Mary age 23, wife; Samantha age 23 wife & 4 of their children; and others, (FHL film 805,313) 1870 Census of Willow Creek Ward, Draperville, Ut, Phebe has her dau Lovina age 54, not rechecked for film number. Several letters saved written to Phebe at Draperville by her son Zemira, 1878; and he writes Jan. 30 1879, tells of his love for her, of his desire to come to visit her if he were well enough to ride that far in winter; that he writes from Orderville cotton farm, a place a little above Washington, Wasington County, Utah. She died February 28,l879, at Draper, Salt Lake, Utah; and son Zemira 22 Oct 1880.

Phebe outlived Brown, and his two young wives, and died on 28 Feb 1879, at Draper, Salt Lake County, Utah, and is buried there, with her corrected year of birth. Thanks Beverly Thompson for that. A great picture taken by Lucile Brubaker & sent copy to LPA, fall 1999. 4/2000 Kevin Palmer brought a fine picture of her tombstone, showing what was written about her.

Records of Loughborough are scarce and we need more good research to learn details of George & Phebe there. It is told that George didn't join the Church, but Wesley, his greattgrand son tells he would have had it been explained to his understanding. We DO KNOW THAT GEORGE LIVED ONLY A SHORT TIME AFTER PHEBE WAS BAPTIZED; That dau Eliza died from a fire in Loughborough sometime in 1832. Two descendants have told that George died on 4 or 8 of December l833, perhaps he died from the causes of that fire, or was it an epedemic? We do know that Phebe gave birth to her 7th & last child, Rhoda on 15 Mar 1834, who said her father died before she was born. Phebe was only 36 years old, & George 38 & 1/2 years. A talk by Pres.Hinckley spoke of his grandfather Hinckley dying in Canada from smallpox, did George Palmer also?

1854, 24 December, Phebe's father, William Draper (Sr) died at Draper, and Robt H. Jensen Jr writes about him, quote: "He blessed many homes with his presence and lifted many downhearted spirits with his love for them. He was buried in the Draper City Cemetery, where his descendants have placed a very imposing headstone over his grave". Tombstone reads William Draper Sen, Patriarch & Pioneer, born 9/6/1776 (he gave his birth as l774). He married Lydia Lathrop on/or just after 7 January 1797 and Phebe was born on the 9th of Oct l797, and she is their first born child. They reared for a time Charles Draper, Wm's bother, Thomas' son, but not their child. (he was sealed to his father 1998 & Miss Brown)

1860 Census Draper, Territory of Utah, Ebenezer Brown age 58, farmer, Phebe 63, both born N.Y. Mary age 23, Samantha age 23, (his 3rd & 4th wives) and 4 of their children. Phebe outlived them all and cared for his four children earlier after the March, then these little ones born and left after their mothers' early deaths. What a woman Phebe is and always lived by her PATRIARCHAL BLESSING. (Do read it for goodness of her life, as she lived it).

CHILD 2
Asahel Palmer

Birth:his name & birth date was written by his mother in her Family Record as Asahel born on the 26 Jan 1819, at Cramahe Twp, Northumberland County, in Newcastle District of Upper Canada. He gave that he was born in Upper Canada, it was by 1867 called Ontario Province. His parents moved from Cramahe to Haldimand Twp, then bef Apr 25 1823, they removed to Loughborough Township, Frontenac County, Midland District, Upper Canada, when he was only five, to a place over 100 miles east. His paternal Palmer grandparents both lived & died in Cramahe, his grandmother-Hannah Wilkinson Palmer died 1832 & grandfather, George Sr. died l833. His father, George Palmer Junior, received 100 acres for his service in the Canadian Army, but did not wish to farm & sold it in Dec 1820, and turned to his cobbler business, which he did at Loughborough and/or Kingston, the big town.

Asahel was only fourteen when his father, George Jr. died 4 or 8 Dec 1833, leaving his mother Phebe Draper Palmer with six children & she soon gave birth to his sister Rhoda, their seventh child. His sister Eliza was born & died at Loughborough Twp, as did his father by December 1833. His maternal gandparents, William & Lydia Lathrop Draper, their children, Wm, Zemira, Marvin, Alfred and Carson; the aunts Mary, Lucretia, Fanny & Lydia had just married in 1824, all lived there to give him solice and good company to grow up with in Loughborugh. Asahel's great grandmother, Lydia Rogers Draper had died in this same area back in 1807, and his great grandfather, Thomas Draper had lived and died by 1817 back in Cramahe; or he may have come to Loughborough to his son Thomas Jr's place where they all lived on the 300 acres he had bought by l824/5. Here a Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was organized and his mother joined in February l833, as did her father & brothers, and this Uncle Thomas Draper Jr.

The Drapers soon leave Canada and join the saints in Kirtland, Ohio, where the first temple was dedicated the day before his mother received her Patriarchal Blessing on the 28 Mar 1836, the day after the manifestations of the Spirit were seen by all who lived in Kirtland, Geauga (now Lake County), Ohio, which we think Asahel may have been a partaker, with his brothers and sisters, all except Lovina, who had married in l834 to Henry I. Munro, and remained in Loughborough Twp. until 1839. Lovina shows with child born in Sangamon Co. IL, and Asahel is there 1848. gether with mother, Phebe Palmer, by l842 at Nauvoo, Hancock, IL.

His marriage record not found by this researcher, but Asahel & Evaline would have married in Kirtland, Ohio, or Pike County, IL, where his mother, Phebe Palmer is shown on U.S. 6\1840 Census with her Drapers. Or did they marry at Nauvoo, Hancock, IL., where his mother is shown as P(hebe) D(raper) Palmer on the same record that Asahel is shown as Asel Parmer with wife EVALINE PARMER, This record shows Asahel & Evaline Carter were married between 1840-42, (Seen in Vol.33 on microfiche #6,031,596, 1839-l842 by Susan Easton Blacks' Books), and gave Asel Farmer part TAX 1842 in Hancock County, IL. Also listed on page 028 as First Ward in Nauvoo, Asel Parmer & Evaline Parmer, his wife.

Asahel named his first child Phebe (Orson T. Glidden), she was born 1842, we gave at Hancock County, IL.

Their next child Emaline Palmer (Clark Oliver CHILDS) gave she was born at Buffalo, Sangamon, Ilinois. Eveline Carter's record with her family was found in the LDS Register Table 289.309/P6973, Vol.I, p.248. Church record gave her father, Jared Carter died in July 1850, her mother, Lydia Carter is shown on 1850 Census living near Evaline at DeKalb County, IL, with her childen.

Wm Geo married 2nd about 1846, possibly at Decatur, Macon, IL, or were they in Iowa? to Mary Ellen PERDUN, PURDUN, dau of David & Hannah Purdun as seen in 4.19 Ancestral File, which gave David Purdun b. 1 Dec 1789 Morristown, New Jersey, d. 3 Dec 1875, at Pleasanton, Decatur, Iowa & Hannah b. 180l Penns, see their family group 11/2002 found by Roy Elmer on website at Mesa Family History Center. Phebe Draper Palmer, his mother, was at Council Bluffs, & left June/1846 with the Mormon Battalion troops who went the longest March in U.S. history to defend the borders of U.S. from Mexico, their greatest fighting was done when the company was attacked by a huge hurd of buffalos.

l860 Census Wm George Palmer at Draper, Salt Lake, Utah, and his son George called Alma, is given as age eleven born in Missouri. His mother on 1880 & 1900 U.S. Census of Nebraska, gave Mary Ellen DELAND, b. Ohio, had 7 children 3 living (David Moroni, George Alma & Jane Palmer). It is doubtful that Wm George Palmer was ever in Sycamore, Dekalb, IL, but more likely in SANGAMON CO.IL with his bro. Asahel, and his sister Jane gave she was b. in Ohio.

George Alma doesn't show again in Utah and 8/2002 we learn from his greatgrand child, Linda Grace Felton, that George Alma goes to Nebraska and other states to live, marry and die. (Call number FHL Film 805,313, pp 277 & 278, family #2036/381) under Ebenezer Brown's name; probably from a Ward record, but record doesnt state who gave the data to the Ward Record Keeper.

!Municipal records purchased 5/2000 by Wesley Palmer Family Organization, gave Wm George's father, GEORGE PALMER JR, his mother PHEBE Draper-as she spelled it on her own Family record. They lived & married in Cramahe; lived in HALDIMAND TWP, Nothumberland County, Newcastle District, Upper Canada, during years 1821, 1822, and William George was born there on 25 Aug 1821. Next we find them living in Loughborough Twp, Frontenac, Midland District in Upper Canada, Ontario.

A letter from the Census Taker of Northumberland County, Haldimand Township, reads: GEORGE PALMER JUNIOR with wife & 3 children in household, moved out along with l7 other families before the 25 Apr 1823, & it gave the list of the families no longer in Haldimand, Northumberland County Upper Canada. George & Phebe Palmer Jr. take their 3 children & remove to LOUGHBOROUGH TOWNSHIP, FRONTENAC COUNTY, MIDLAND DISTRICT, ONTARIO PROVINCE, but UPPER CANADA BEFORE 1867, where his sisters Eliza, Lydia, & Rhoda were born, and his bro. Zemira.

At Loughborough, a Townhip, the missionaries organized a Branch, & on 17 Feb 1833 his mother & her Drapers visited and joined the Church in 1833. Eliza died in 1832 by fire there; father George died either 4 or 8 of December 1833, & their 7th child, Rhoda, was born on 15 March 1834. 8/2002 Pres. Hinckley spoke of a smallpox epidemic that had come to that area & his grandfather died of smallpox disease in Upper Canada.

From cousin Linda Grace Felton 8/12/2002, a great grandaughter of George Alma Palmer, son of William & Mary Ellen. Thanks Linda. After some correspondence & phone calls we feel sure George Alma is of our same family. He in Silver Lake, Adams, NE in 1880 U.S. Census Film 1,254,743 & 1900 Rock Falls Twp, Holt, NE. Hope Linda will find all 11 children's exact place of birth.

Linda mentioned that her husband, has a Palmer line also. Sent to Linda "St. Paul's, FT Erie, a wedding at St Paul's ANGLICAN CHURCH at Ft.

It is possible that Wm Geo may have even met the Purdun's in Illinois or on the trail to Winter Quarters; but he, or whomever answered the l860 Census, gave his son Alma was born in Missouri. June 1840, he is age 19 when with his widowed mother, Phebe Palmer,& sisters Lydia & Rhoda are living in their own household next to his grandparents & uncle Zemira Draper, where his bro. Zemira Palmer was also listed on that Census, in a township, named Pleasant Vale, a Precinct in Pike Co,IL.

Dry Valley in late 1870 (after the census, which was taken on Sep 14), then Springdale 16 Apr 1872.

His brother Zemira Palmer, helped Wm Geo with a yoke of oxen on 11 Feb 1873 for $405. (at Panguitch or down at Springdale, Ut). Then one week later, 18 Feb 1873, William George was very sick, so Zemira went to Rose Valley to get medicine for him. Wm George went back to Dry Valley, Nevada, in 1873 or 1874. Then he went to Deseret, Millard, Utah in 1875/1876 and stayed until at least 1880 and probably even a few more years. During the late 1880's he moved to Utah County, as two children were married there in 1889. While living at Emma's boarding house he
died at Provo on 14 April 1891 and was buried there, Much research needs to be done for him, his whole family by indepth research.

CHILD 5
Lydia Elizabeth Palmer

Birth;Born 15 Oct, year missing, her descendant gave 1826. Her mother wrote her name as Lydia E. Palmer in her Family record. Records 6/2000 of Haldimand indicate she would be born at Loughborough Twp, Frontenac County, Midland District, Upper Canada, rather than Haldimand Twp. as shown by Municipal records (xerox) of page dated 25 Apr 1823, which gave her father, george Palmer Junr moved out of Haldimand, Northumberland County, along with l7 other families who had moved out before the 25 April 1823. Her parents moved to Loughborough with the Drapers.

Her father died Dec. 1833, she with her mother & the Drapers to Kirtland, Ohio, U.S.

She was age 9 in March, l836, when her mother received her Patriarchal Blessing in Kirtland, Geauga, Ohio. Next we find her mother, Phebe Palmer, with uncle Zemira Draper (six in his list to travel from Kirtland with the Camp 47? miles to EDGAR COUNTY,IL, there the Drapers stopped for a short time, then travel across Illinois to the place named Pleasantvalle, Pike Co.

She age l3 when the US Census was taken in June l840, and lived with her mother at Pike Co., Pleasantvalle, IL, as did brother Wm G. 19, and sister Rhoda Palmer age 6, her brother, Zemira, was with their grandparents, Wm & Lydia Lathrop Draper, and uncle Zemira Draper in the next house.

Before 2/1845 they all moved to Hancock Co, IL. Phebe at a settlement called Bear Creek, some distance from Nauvoo, Lydia & her sister Rhoda as Browns, should have been Palmer, with Lovina & Henry Munro on list of members. Lydia accompanies her mother on the trail to Winter Quarters, or close to Council Bluffs, Iowa, but remains in Iowa, Did she marry on the trail? Lydia remains at what they call Hamburg, Fremont, IA, and called McKissick's Grove, Madison Twp, Fremont Co. Iowa, by the time her husband, Anthony Bruno/Brunow/Bruneau, dies & his estate shows living there when he died, 18 May l866.

Her marriage date gives only 1846, at a place near Hamburg, Fremont, Iowa, and probably met her Anthony near or while her mother was at Mount Pisgah or Kanesville, (Council Bluffs) (Read p.l0c, 430b pictures & pp.368-443 in Book The Descendants of George Palmer & Phebe Draper 929.273 Pl82c &/or from the Film #l,32l,355. By the time of his death l8 May l866, the place was called McKissick's Grove, Madison Township, Fremont County, Iowa. Her last child was born seven months after his death, and totaled eleven children for them.

Municipal Records of Toronto, purchased 5/2000, and recorded by the Clerks of the Peace, for Cramahe & Haldimand County,Northumberland County, read and recorded by two researchers, tell us that Zemira's father is George Palmer Jr. His grandfather is George Palmer who went to live in Cramahe Township, Northumberland County, Upper Canada in l793, as a settler along with 40 other families. Zemira gave he was born 9 Aug 1831 in Loughborough, a township in Frontenac County, Midland District, Upper Canada, Ontario; also in Family Record, handwritten, by his mother, Phebe Draper Palmer, & on Pre-Endowment House FHL Film #183,393 Bk A, #1987; His & Sally's Sealing record #l83,394, Bk B, p.33, witnesses M.J.Grant & W.W. Phelps.

Explanation for any who might call up their PAF Palmer Pedigree chart from the Internet or any Church record, and find this ancestor listed as with a nickname (Jim) Zemira Palmer can know that a descendant has made a terrible mistake of using a nick-name he supposed was used by our Zemira Palmer, which is very wrong, he is written only as Zemira in all records found of him & in his letters he signed Zemira or just Z.

Municipal Records of Toronto, purchased 5/2000, and searched, tell us that Zemira's father is George Palmer Jr and his mother is Phebe Draper, that they lived first in Cramahe, Northumberland County, were married there where Lovina & Asahel were born. His father, called George Palmer Junior, sold his Grant land and moved to Haldimand Twp, where his bro Wm George was born l821. that they moved out of Haldimand before 25 Apr 1823, (copy obtained) & they remove over 100 kilometers east to near Kingston, at Loughborough Township, Frontenac County, Midland District, Ontario, Canada, where his sisters Eliza and Lydia, & Zemira were born; and where his father died in Dec. 1833, and his sister, Rhoda, was born there on March 15, 1834.

Zemira spent only 2 years & 4 months in Loughborough with his family, and his grandparents, Wm & Lydia Lathrop Draper & his grand uncle Thomas Draper Jr. & Mary Mosier Draper & their children; 2/l819 Census of Loughborough Township shows names of this Thomas Draper, wife as Hannah (Mary) & one son, Wm, who is not his son, but born to his wife Mary Mosier who md lst to Carey; A son Thomas, probably Reuben, the only son b.before 1819, also named were their daus Viny, Mary, Ruth & Anne.

Zemira's mother joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on 17 February 1833 in Loughborough where a Branch of the Church was organized in 1833. Also Thomas Jr & Mary Mosier Draper, along with Wm & Lydia Lathrop Draper, all leave Canada by late l834 or l835 and are found living in Kirtland, Geauga, Ohio. This great uncle Thomas died in Pike Co.IL. l841.

Mother Phebe Palmer with her children Asahel, Wm George, Lydia, Zemira and baby Rhoda move with her Drapers to Kirtland, Geauga, now Lake County, Ohio, U.S. Zemira not five by the 28th March 1836, when his mother received her Patriarchal Blessing there, and Zemira's gdfather, William Draper Sr was ordained a Priest by D.C.Smith. No doubt all were partakers of the great Dedication of that great Kirtland Temple. First temple built, and visited by the Savior, the ancient prophets, Elijah and others.

1838, Mar to Sept 10th, Zemira with his mother Phebe Draper Palmer, his bro. Wm & sisters Lydia & Rhoda (not listed by name, but under his uncle Zemira Draper-6 persons), listed with Kirtland Camp of Saints travelling to Missouri Read of others of that camp group named in The History of the Church Vol.III, pgs.92 thur 138). The Drapers start with this group, but drop out about l0th Sept 1838 in Edgar County, IL, 494 miles from Kirtland, Ohio, because of funds and elderly age of his grandfather, Wm Draper Sr. & Lydia; Also his sister with husband Henry Munroe,two aunts with Vanleuven husbands; and Thomas Draper (Jr family) and others names.

His brother Asahel Palmer's 2nd child, Emaline Palmer gave her birth place as Sangamon Co, IL, where they may have contacted each other then or sooner.

1840 June U.S. Census of Pleasantvale (see map), Pike, IL, Zemira age 9 is shown in household of his uncle Zemira Draper & grandparents, Wm & Lydia Lathrop Draper Sr. In the Next house was his mother, and his brother William George 19, sisters Lydia 13, Rhoda 6; next house uncle William Draper, next house uncle Alfred R. Draper, all at Pleasantvale, a precinct in Pike County, IL. Pg.96 shows his uncle Marvin Draper & gd uncle Thomas Draper Jr's family, (Films 007,645, Pike County, IL).

Feb 24, l842, his bro. Wm George Palmer was married to his grand uncle Thomas Draper's daughter Susan Draper.

Nothing more found about Susan, said to have died soon & Wm George is not found again until he is with the Philamon Merrill Company in 1856 going to Great SL City, with his 2nd wife, Ellen Perdun/Purdun.

!1839-42 a Nauvoo, Hancock Co.,IL. census shows his brother Asahel (written as Asel) & wife Evaline PARMER, part tax & members of a Ward, also his mother as P(hebe) D(raper), Palmer, a member of the Church there (probably only a visit for her to be with Asahel). Phebe had married E.Brown 28 August l842.

By 1844, Zemira is with his uncle Zemira Draper & his grandparents at Morley Hancock County, IL, a settlement in " Spokes on the Wheel", named by the Prophet. Mother now Phebe Draper Palmer Brown has moved into a settlement called Bear Creek, with her daughters Lydia & Rhoda Brown, but should have been given as Palmer; also Lovina Palmer with her husband, Henry Munroe. The mobs had driven the saints from their lovely homes in Pleasantvale, Pike County, IL. although they formerly were treated as good neighbors. One history item read by Newel Palmer gave that our Newel Knight was sent by the Prophet Joseph Smith to organized this branch into a Stake as it had become that large.

1844, Apr. 8th, Phebe D. Palmer Brown is at Bear Creek settlement some miles south of Carthage & far distance more from Nauvoo, but she goes to the temple and is baptised for her deceased husband, George PALMER (father of Zemira). We find her back to the temple on 24 Dec 1845, for her endowment, & his Uncle Zemira Draper and grandparents are at NV temple on 25 Dec 1845. The prophet, Joseph Smith & his bro. Hyrum are murdered at Cathage, Hancock, IL, 6/27/1844

!The Saints are driven from these places and from Nauvoo, where their beautiful Temple was destroyed. (June 27, 2002, Nauvoo Temple again built & dedicated) Zemira's bros Asahel & Wm George remained & found in Sangamon Co., IL, where Church History (Vol.3) speaks of the Drapers. Gdmother, Lydia dies at or near Montrose, Lee, Iowa, where Zemira Draper remains for a time, but Phebe & Brown are with her daus near Garden Grove, Iowa, dau. Lovina Munro where Henry dies in l847; and dau Lydia md Anthony Bruno 1846 & both remain in Iowa until afte their husband's deaths, then go to Utah.

Zemira along with his mother at Mt.Pisgah hears that the Government want 500 men as soldiers for the War with Mexico. At Council Bluffs, Iowa, Ebenezer Brown signs up, as does his mother, who goes entire march one of 4 women; and Zemira as Orderly for the officers, although only l4 until August l846, all in that Mormon Battalion, the only Battalion with a names rather than a number.

Military Service: Zemira, was an orderly to Lt Col. James Allen until his death, 23 Aug 1846, then other officers. Zemira was only 14 until 9 Aug 1846, when the Battalion left Council Bluffs, Iowa Territory, on 6 July l846, to the conclusion of its March of over 2000 miles. Zemira was entitled to much praise for his patriotism & bravery. They were discharged 16 Jan 1847, at San Diego. 81 officers & men reenlisted, performed garrison service at San Diego. Then on to Los Reyes, Ciudad de Los Angeles. It is said that some arrived in Salt Lake Valley on 1 Oct 1847, but Zemira went with other young men later. It is noted here that Zemira was in the Army to seal our borders from Mexico; His father had been a Soldier in the War of 1812, to seal the borders of Canada from U.S. but Canada called it, The War with the Americans.

Gold was discovered near Sutter's Mill on 24 Jan 1848. Sarah Arletta Palmer, writes as quoted from Harriet Esplin-6/1953: "Zemira worked as a Bar Tender in San Bernardino, where he went to school in the day, where he had a

Spanish teacher. He went to Utah with a detachment of the Mormon Battalion who arrived in SLC later that year". It is told Zemira panned gold and obtained $500.00, then went to Great Salt Lake, Utah. His mother & Brown came to Utah later in l849, (read in Book pp 860-863).

At Salt Lake he went to school and worked at the carpenter trade. He wrote songs and poems for different occasions and was a great social leader. He loved to dance the old Reels & Quadrills, made a fine figure on the floor, being straight as an arrow and moving with grace & ease. When boardering at a lady's place he noticed that his white pillow slip got very dirty, so he made himself a nightcap which he was very careful that no one could see. He wore a mustache, which he kept trimmed very neatly".

1849, he in company with nine men to ferry California & Oregon Emmigration over the Green River.
1850 Census, Zemira is listed in Great Salt Lake, Utah, age 19, with James Hibbard age 19, and George Stiles 22. With his own team he crossed the plains to help gather the Saints. Counselor to Bishop Wm Draper, his uncle, in Willow Creek, now Draper, Utah, for a short time.

l Jan 1851, he had found his Sally Knight. She writes in her history that they were married at Salt Lake City. Then a very special record tells that they were sealed at 2/5 p.m by H. C. Kimball on 18 Sep 1855, in the Endowment House; witnesses were J.M.Grant and W.W. Phelps. No temple dedicated in Utah until 6 Apr 1877. (Document in Film #l83, 394, Bk B, p.33, ENDOWMENT HOUSE). By 30 March 1856 at 7:00 p.m, we read Zemira did marry Caroline JACQUES in the same document & witnesses were George W. Jacques & Israel IVINS).

!7 March 1855, an Endowment House RECORD in FILM #183,393 (25165,pt.l3) shows #l987, for Zemira Palmer born in Upper Canada on 9 Aug 1831 & Sally Knight born at Gallatin a township in Clay County, MO. Then the St George Temple was ready and they lived near, when on 25 Oct l877 Zemira took Alma Zemira Palmer and had him and his twin sisters, Mary b. & d. 8 Jan 1855 & Martha b & d l Jan 1855, sealed to them. This tells me that as more revelation came and was understood, they complied, and lived by all new knowledge and commandments.

1856 Census of Provo, Utah, shows Zemira Palmer, Caroline Jakes (Jacques) & Sally Knight, her children-Alma, Mary & Martha, & dau Lydia (FHL Film 505,913, pg 963, & folder #32); p.962 a Thomas Jakes family & p.963 James Knight family.

The Deseret Newspaper said of the 24th Celebration in l860 in Provo Valley, Zemira sang an appropriate song and the day ushered in by the firing of Musketry under the direction of Capt Zemira Palmer. Zemira has 3 or more pieces of property in Provo, which he donated to B. Young for the Church. About this time her brother, Jesse Knight, was blessed to find a Gold Mine, which got the Church out of debt & helped to keep the BYU going.

He lived in Heber City from 1861 to l865, where we find in Book "How Beautiful upon the Mountains, a Centennial History of Wasatch County", 1963 by Wm James Mortimor, quote:pg. 9, Zemira Palmer named on Fort Heber map; pg 15 gave West Side.

!His obituary notice gave date of 4/11/1865 when he was called to southern Utah and located by Pres. Snow at Meadow Valley. His Diary gave a date 1 Jan 1872, when he tells of his years at Panaca, Eagle Valley, Dry Valley in Lincoln County, Nevada, where he speaks of the many activities he did there, of paying his tithing and his taxes. This place was in Lincoln County, which became known as Nevada State, not Utah, and the saints were being charged taxes by 3 states. He moves his families to southern Utah. (read and Diary)

The winter of l873/74 they are at Panguitch, where his first child, son Alma Z. Palmer did go & had bought land. Zemira's Diary tells of teaching school in the kitchen of Bro. Wm D. Kartchner's home, to their children and his own.

!11 Apr 1874, was requested by Pres. Young to move to Springdale on the Virgin River & take charge of that place, in Washington County, Utah

A quote from his Diary, p.90, "Oct 24, l877, in the Temple (St Geoge) had our son Alma Zemira & two twin daughters, Mary & Martha who were born before we had our sealing, sealed to us, being according to the Law of the Lord".

Nov 13, l877, he writes: "having been appointed to take charge of the Cotton farm, I, in company with Bp Hogan, started for that place. (worked hard) Feb 2, l878, Quote "Attended Priesthood meeting at St.George & was set apart as Presiding Priest at the Orderville Cotton farm, Branch of the Washington Ward under the hands of Pres. J.D.T. McAllister & his councillors, T. Jones & Henry Eyring. This place was a little above Washington City, Washington County, Utah, called the Orderville Order, but a long distance from town of Orderville, Kane, Utah.

At the Orderville Cotton Farm Dec 18, l878, he writes his mother (Phebe Draper Palmer Brown), who lived at Draper, Salt Lake County, Utah. He tells where he labored for what was part of the Orderville Order, but located a little above Washington City, Washington County, Utah. He Worked hard, planted cotton, ordered and set up the cotton mill, and they did make clothe. He speaks of irrigating, picking cotton & even picked it in the house when weather bad.

Dec 18, 1878 letter in his own handwriting, to his Mother (Phebe Palmer) 2nd letter to her dated l/30/l879, both from cotton farm. Then to his sister Lovina, (after his mother had died in Dec 1879), this Letter from Enterprize, June l880; one 6/l3/l880, now at Orderville, Kane, very interesting letters.

!Zemira died 22 Oct 1880 & buried 23rd (although it reads as died on 23rd), this would be the buriel date, at Orderville, Kane, Utah. Caroline in grave #26 & a fine headstone by her great & gd children was made & set in July 200l & picture sent to Lois & given back to Lucile.

Elmer F. Cox, a great grandson, writes: "Zemira was neat and particular about his appearance. He was honest and very strict. When he spoke to his children, they knew he meant business and they responded accordingly, He was religious and held many responsible positions in the Church. He was intelligent & a real asset in helping to colonize several communities, such as Provo, Heber City, Dry Valley, Lincoln, Nevada, Panguitch & Springdale, Orderville.

avocations were shoeing oxen & horses, mending harnesses, repairing wagons, mending shoes, fixing & working on roads, & many other things. While in Dry Valley, Nevada he was active in law & court proceedings. He was a member of a jury in Pioche and he had to travel there for court sessions. In 4/1874 Pres.

In June of 1877 he was appointed to go to Leeds & appraise the property of 3 men who had joined order at Orderville. It was here he heard of the death of his wife Caroline. They
decided to make a permanent headquarters of the United Order there in LEEDS?, so he moved his wife & 3 youngest children there.

a letter. (copies of letters by him and extraction of his DIARY he kept may go into the Historical Dept or FHLibrary, after Lucile Brubaker typed and hands in, Ula has typed an Excerpt (& names added in some places as known by she & Lois).

"In l878 he had several periods of illness. He reports that the 3rd time he became ill in September with a strange, severe pain in his stomach. He nearly died during this illness which lasted until November. From then on until his death on 22 Oct. l800, he was occasionally unwell. He was a good man who left a rich heritage for those of us who follow. He was honest, hard working, inventive and was very instrumental in the development of the southern Utah area". (collected & arranged by Lenna Cox Wilcock on 2/24/l955. 6/2000 Lenna & her dau. Lucile Wilcock Brubaker sent to LPAllen a 37 page of Zemira's own Diary, the original obtained & typed up by Lenna about l954, from Ines Hoyt.

Articles in 1996 Church News, Sesquicentennial Year, are great. Kevin E. Palmer & others represented Zemira in the Battalion Commemoration at historic military post at Fort Leavenworth, KS; the Battalion mustering re-enactment Church News 7/20/1996 & Dec 14, 1996, Omaha, Nebraska, Mormon Trail Center Exhibit at Historic Winter Quarters in Omaha. Brigham Young tells the men of Zion's Camp of the need to join & serve their nation, which had just driven them from their beautiful homes the 3rd time.

A fine play was written & produced by Kevin & his mother Wanda Palmer about the members of the Battalion & the four women who went the entire March. It was shown Oct 9 (Phebe's 200th birthday) l0th & llth, l998, with Brigham Young, the officer, the mustering in of the men, the boys, Zemira age 14 with other young orderlies, even the drummer boy. The story of Preston Palmer who with his gdparents, A.Z. & Alzada Kartchner Palmer of Arizona, visit at Orderville, Kane, Utah, with Sally Knight Palmer, Zemira's wife, who tells Preston of Zemira's life, and death. It was excellently done & should be a Church wide production of that part of CHURCH History made by the Mormon BATTALION.

Zemira were born, and where his father died in Dec. 1833, and his sister, Rhoda was born there March 15, 1834.

William Draper JR OR SR, was ordained a Priest by D.C.Smith. No doubt all were partakers of the great events of the Dedication of the Temple there.

Mar 1838 to April l838, he is in the Kirtland Camp with his Drapers as they travel to Edgar County, IL, where they drop out rather than go to Missouri.

!By 1840 Zemira age 9 is shown with his uncle Zemira Draper & his gdparents, Wm & Lydia Lathrop Draper. In the Next house was his mother with bro William George 19, Lydia 13, Rhoda 6, all at Pleasantvalle, Pike County, IL, as seen on Illinois Census, also uncles Wm, Alfred R. & Marvin Draper (FHL #7,645) by 2/1842 his bro. Wm George married his gt uncle Thomas Draper's dau, Susan Draper. Susan died soon & Wm George not found with his family for a time. 1839-42 at Nauvoo, Hancock Co.,IL. Census shows his bro Asahel (written as Asel) & wife Evaline PARMER, part tax & members of a Ward, also his mother as P(hebe) D(raper), Palmer, a member of the Church there.

By 1844, Zemira is with his uncle Zemira Draper & his grandparents at Morley Hancock County, IL, a settlement in " Spokes on the Wheel", named by the Prophet. Mother, Phebe has married E. Brown on 28 Aug 1842, & moved into a settlement called Bear Creek, with his sisters, Lydia, Rhoda & Lovina Palmer with her husband, Henry Munroe, after the saints of Pike County were driven from their homes by their formerly good neighbors.

1844, Apr. 8th, Phebe D. Palmer Brown is at Bear Creek settlement some miles south of Carthage & far distance more to Nauvoo, but she goes to the temple and is baptised for her deceased husband, George PALMER. We find her back to the temple on 24 Dec 1845, for her endowment, & his Uncle Zemira Draper and grandparents are at NV temple on 25 Dec 1845. The prophet, Joseph Smith & his brother, Hyrum are murdered at Carthage, Hancock County, IL. 6/27/1844.

The Saints are driven from these places and from Nauvoo, where their beautiful Temple was destroyed. (June 27, 2002, Nauvoo Temple again built & dedicated) Zemira's bros Asahel & Wm George remained in Ilinois. The Drapers travel with the saints to Council Bluffs, Iowa; His sisters Lovina & Henry Munro & Lydia had married Anthony Bruno, remain in Iowa & Rhoda with Isaac P.

!Military Service: Zemira was an orderly to Lt Col. James Allen until his death, 23 Aug 1846, then other officers. Zemira was only 14 until 9 Aug 1846, when the Battalion left Council Bluffs, Iowa Territory, on 6 July l846, to the conclusion of its March of over 2000 miles. Zemira was entitled to much praise for his patriotism & bravery. They were discharged 16 Jan 1847, at San Diego. 81 officers & men reenlisted, performed garrison service at San Diego. Then on to Los Reyes, Ciudad de Los Angeles. It is said that some arrived in Salt Lake Valley on 1 Oct 1847, but Zemira went with other young men later. It is noted here that Zemira was in the Army to seal our borders from Mexico; His father had been a Soldier in the War of 1812, to seal the borders of U.S. from Canada, they called it the War with the Americans.

Gold was discovered near Sutter's Mill on 24 Jan 1848. Sarah Arletta Palmer, writes as quoted from Harriet Esplin-6/ 1953: "Zemira worked as a Bar Tender in San Bernardino, where he went to school in the day, where he had a Spanish teacher. He went to Utah with a detachment of the Mormon Battalion who arrived in SLC later that year". It is told Zemira panned gold and obtained $500.00, then went to Great Salt Lake, Utah. His mother & Brown came to Utah later in l849, (read in Book pp 860-863).

At Salt Lake he went to school and worked at the carpenter trade. He wrote songs and poems for different occasions and was a great social leader. He loved to dance the old Reels & Quadrills, made a fine figure on the floor, being straight as an arrow and moving with grace & ease. When boardering at a lady's place he noticed that his white pillow slip got very dirty, so he made himself a nightcap which he was very careful that no one could see. He wore a mustache, which he kept trimmed very neatly".

1849, he in company with nine men to ferry California & Oregon Emmigration over the Green River.
!1850 Census Zemira is listed in Great Salt Lake, Utah, age 19, with James Hibbard age 19, and George Stiles 22. With his own team he crossed the plains to help gather the Saints. Counselor to Bishop Wm Draper, his uncle, in Willow Creek, now Draper, Utah, for a time, 2nd counselor was uncle Zemira Draper.

l Jan 1851, he had found his Sally Knight. She writes in her history that they were married at Salt Lake City. Then a very special record tells that they were sealed at 2/5 p.m by H. C. Kimball on 18 Sep 1855, in the Endowment House; witnesses were J.M.Grant and W.W. Phelps. No temple dedicated in Utah until 6 Apr 1877. (Document in Film #l83,

"In l878 he had several periods of illness. He reports that the 3rd time he became ill in September with a strange, severe pain in his stomach. He nearly died during this illness which lasted until November. From then on until his death on 22 Oct. l800, he was occasionally unwell. He was a good man who left a rich heritage for those of us who follow. He was honest, hard working, inventive and was very instrumental in the development of the southern Utah area". (collected & arranged by Lenna Cox Wilcock on 2/24/l955. 6/2000 Lenna & her dau. Lucile Wilcock Brubaker
sent Lois 36 pages of Zemira's own Diary, the original obtained & typed up by Lenna about l954, from Ines Hoyt.

Articles in 1996 Church News, Sesquicentennial Year, are great. Kevin E. Palmer & others represented Zemira in the Battalion Commemoration at historic military post at Fort Leavenworth, KS; the Battalion mustering re-enactment Church News 7/20/1996 & Dec 14, 1996, Omaha, Nebraska, Mormon Trail Center Exhibit at Historic Winter Quarters in Omaha. Brigham Young tells the men of Zion's Camp of the need to join & serve their nation, which had just driven them from their beautiful homes the 3rd time.

A fine play was written & produced by Kevin & his mother Wanda Palmer about the members of the Battalion & the four women who went the entire March. It was shown Oct 9 (Phebe's 200th birthday) l0th & llth, l998, with Brigham Young, the officer, the mustering in of the men, the boys, Zemira age 14 with other young orderlies, even the drummer boy. The story of Preston Palmer who with his gdparents, A.Z. & Alzada Kartchner Palmer of Arizona, visit at Orderville, Kane, Utah, with Sally Knight Palmer, Zemira's wife, who tells Preston of Zemira's life, death, and about the sword he had. It was excellently done & should be a Church wide production of that part of CHURCH History made by the Mormon BATTALION.

Also Book printed l997 in Mesa (with Family groups) & Salt Lake City Family History Library, called "THE DESCENDANTS OF GEORGE PALMER & PHEBE DRAPER, SUPPLEMENT, 929.273 Pl82c," only l2 pages,and by 2000 in FHL film #2,055,478. It gave only Surnames from Sarah's BK, The Descendants of George Palmer & Phebe Draper, 929.273 Pl82c, l963, rather than the new surnames given, sad, and index was poorly submitted by Kevin E. Palmer, later. Also we find even in 2003 that his name was JIM, this must come off by the submitter, for there is no record of Zemira with such a name. Please remove from all Church records.

In 6/2000 the MUNICIPAL RECORDS OF ONTARIO, TORONTO Archives were purchased and have brought to us fine records of Zemira's people, the Palmers and Drapers in Cramahe Township, Northumberland County, Newcastle District (District done away in 1848) in what was then called Upper Canada. It was from Province of ONTARIO. On 8/ 3/2000 A Pedigree Resource was submitted of Wesley Palmer's ancestors to Familysearch Church program with Hannah as the dau of Joshua Wilkinson & Ann Turnville, and their last son, Annis added. This record is not to be changed as was Ancestral file by every submission sent to that file. It now 11/2002 shows with the thousands of others records on Internet; Another PRF was sent l0/23/2004, work done by my cousin/great friend, Janice Miller, with a code they will give Lois P.Allen.

In Booklet "1975 to COMMEMORATE the ORDERVILLE UNITED ORDER 1875-1975, 100th Anniversary by Anna P.

Birth:Mother's Family Record gave born 15 Mar 1834. Rhoda tells her family that she was born after her father, George Palmer, had died (Dec 1833), both events at Loughborough, Frontenac County, Midland District, Upper Canada; Marr:l Jan 1851 Salt Lake City; Allen B. Rasmussen gave Special Collections source Film #183,404 Rhoda endowed 16 Nov 1855 EHOUS Bk B, p.53, & sealed to Joseph Anderson Allred EHOUS Film #183,394 Bk Bl 2 by Brigham Young; Death:27 Dec 1879, Lewiston, Cache, Utah; sealed to parents by proxy 1 Oct 1924 Slake Bk R, p. 292, Film #l84,672. Lewiston Ward, Utah Records state that Rhoda was re-baptized when twins were baptized 1 Aug 1875, & a death record gave as 27 Dec l879, p.5 Rhoda Allred (Ann written in), with parents as Palmer & Phebe, the person who gave the information to the Ward clerk didn't know Palmer's first name, nor her mother's maiden name, Phebe was given FHLC F#025596.

Rhoda was just age 2 when her mother, Phebe Draper Palmer, a widow, received her Patriarchal Blessing on 28 March 1836 at Kirtland, Ohio, by Joseph Smith Sr. She was age 6 on l840 Census, mother, Phebe Parmer age 43, house #l48, her bro.

Feb 1845 Rhoda & Lydia Palmer, as Browns, should have given Palmers, with mother as Phebe & Ebenezer Brown, & her sister Lovina & Henry Munroe, all members of the Bear Creek Branch, Hancock County, IL, near Morley & Green Plains where Wm & Lydia Draper lived with Zemira Draper. Summer of l846 Rhoda is with her mother & Zemira at Council Bluffs, both her sisters Lydia Palmer Bruno & Lovina Palmer Munro, with children had married and remained in Iowa.

Rulan C. Allred, The ALLRED FAMILY in AMERICA, Book 929.273 Al57a, V.1, p.2-45, gave Rhoda born at LOUGHBOROUGH, dau of George Palmer & Phebe Draper, copy of page, 11A, 2-45, married l Jan 1851. Her mother wrote her name Rhoda only. Rhoda lived with her Uncle Isaac Palmer & wife Ann's family from Council Bluffs to GREAT Salt Lake, & until her mother came to SLC, after she finished the Battalion March & panned gold, late 1849.

Isaac named his dau Rhoda Ann Palmer, for this aunt Rhoda Palmer Allred, read in Salt Lake 9th Ward, Liberty Stake record Film #0026851, page 201, of blessing & naming on 19 January 1853, of Rhody Ann Palmer, dau of Isaac & Ann Hodgkinson Wamsley Palmer, by Bishop Seth Taft 9th Historical Record Film #LR 6093 2 or 6093 11, Liberty Stake).

Rhoda's uncle, Issac Palmer born in Cramahe, a younger brother of her father, George, had married Ann Hodgkinson & she had 5 Wamsley children, one being a girl near Rhoda's age, they care of Rhoda and take her with them to Great Salt Lake, while her mother, Phebe Draper Palmer (Brown) was with her brother, Zemira on the Mormon Battalion March, a U.S. Military Battalion.

1850 Census called, lst Families of Utah shows Joseph A. Allred age 20, b. MO, Rhoda age 17, born Canada, p.40 #543, Film 929.2 X29a, p.124.

Descendant Allen B. Rasmussen told us that on 21 Jan 1870, Joseph Allred, her husband, entered polygamy, married Naomi Brandham, they were sealed at End Hse, had one son Jesse Anderson Allred. As his third wife Joseph md a divorced lady, Georgiana Lambert CRISP in 1878, they had five girls: Effie Mary Ann, Louie Georgiana, Nellie Faith, Delva Lovisa and Ethel Avelia, all b. Spring City, Utah. This writer speculates that after Joseph took 2 other wives, Rhoda went to live with her married sons in Lewiston. It is believed she was buried at Lewiston or Richmond, but there is no marked grave at either location. Who will put a gravestone for her?
