Family History of Rasmus Hansen

Introduction

The story of this family is made up of facts and dates gathered from numerous sources and pieced together and held with imagination form the mental picture painted by the description of places and events as they were told to me by some of the members who supplied much of the information. Of these I wish to give honorable mention to Ole Hansen, the grandfather of our children; Aunt Annie Hammon of Roy Utah, and Aunt Hannah Smith of Cleveland, Idaho. Each one very shortly before their death, so graciously told me of their home in Denmark and their emigration to Utah. This information will be told in the history to follow. We dedicate this record to the memory of those noble father and mothers in generations past and trust that the Spirit of Elijah will rest upon us as descendants of a noble family to the organization and salvation of all its’ members.

Isaac Buhinin

Isaac Buhinin (also Behunnin)         1803

And Meribah Morton and Almina Tyler

Written by Dr. Barbara (Bobbi) Andersen, Wife of Phil Larsen Andersen, Great-great-great grandson of Isaac Buhinin, 9/84

Isaac Behunin, a Scotch-Irish American, was born 20 October, 1803 in Richland, Oswego County, New York. He was born two years before Joseph Smith was born. His father was Albert Behunin and his mother was Nancy Lord. Isaac joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the very beginning years of the church’s organization. Since he lived in the same geographical area, and at the same period of time as Joseph Smith, it is very likely that Isaac was well acquainted with most of the founders of the Church.

Records show that Isaac married Meribah Morton (born 16 March 1804) when he was twenty years old and she nineteen. Her father was Isaac Morton and her mother was Nancy Drake. Isaac and Meribah married on 25 December 1823 in Willistown, Vermont- Meribah’s home town. Wouldn’t it be interesting if we knew how these young people met? They were born in different states- he in New York and she in Vermont. Their courtship and marriage would undoubtedly have made a sweet story to tell.

History of John and Rheumina Wilson Earl

Prepared by their Grandson Frank J. Earl in 1975.

John Earl, son of William, who was the son of Henry Earl, was born Sept. 8, 1827 in Scarborough, York County, Ontario, Upper Canada, near present Toronto, Canada. Rheumina Wilson, John’s wife to be, was born in Perryville, Green Township, Ohio, Feb. 28, 1829. Your writer has no further information of her until after her marriage to John Earl.

John Earl died July 13, 1908 in Fileding, Utah and was buried in Farmington Cemebery, Davis County, Utah. Rheumina Wilson Earl died Dec. 16, 1904 in Farmington and was buried beside her husband.

Wiliam and Sarah Syphers Earl, John’s parents, joined the Church in Scarborough, Canada in 1836 and shortly thereafter they moved to Kirland, Ohio. In 1836 John was nine years old. July 6, 1838 John’s parents and their nine children left Kirtland, Ohio as a part of the Kirtland Camp. There were 529 members of this group. After a very strenuous journey of 870 miles the group arrived in Far West, Missouri Oct. 2, 1838. Two days later they were in Adam-ondi-Ahmen where the family may have lived for some time.

Redick Newton Allred

Redick Newton Allred, son of Isaac and Mary Calvert, was born February 21^st, 1822 in Farmington, Marshall County, Tennessee. Redick’s father, Isaac, was born in Pendalton County, South Carolina on January 27, 1788. Grandfather William and his grandmother, Elizabeth Thresher had moved from Randolph County, North Carolina, to Pendalton County, South Carolina, some time between 1784 and 1788, as their oldest son James was born in Randolph County in North Carolina in 1784, while their second son, Isaac, was born in South Carolina in 1788.

Anderson Heirlooms

At my Grandma Anderson's home there is a glass case with many beautiful things to look at, but a few of them are of particular value because of their history.  Here are a few items to look for when you visit.

These shoes belonged to Jannette Allred Andersen.  (Grandma's great-grandmother)

This picture, titled "Five Senses", belonged to Ivadene Anderson Larsen.  It hung over her sewing machine in a little room next to her kitchen.  Grandma Anderson loved this picture when she was growing up and asked her grandma if when she died, she could have it to remember her, and Grandma Larsen agreed.  When she died, there were many family members who hoped that they could get this picture, but it was given to Grandma because of that incident.

These glasses belonged to Inger Marie Mortenson Anderson.  The note says, "Great Grandma Anderson's glasses.  Died 10/28/30- day Hartley was born".  She was very ill, but she was holding out to see the new baby, and then she died peacefully.  Family Search shows her dying on the 29th.  The knife is is on display only because it is pretty and looks old.

Grandma says, "This were found under the grainery in Grandpa Anderson's house, and it belonged to one of his grandparents that come from Denmark."  Under the shoe is a note that says, "Dad Anderson's Mother's."

This picture was a wedding present for Faunice Larsen and Merril Jay Laub.

Butterfly made by Uncle Neal, who made one for each of the sisters.

"This little trolly car was given to Hartley and I when we were serving our mission in Hayward California."

John Sant

The following information comes from http://www.allthingsancestor.com/ancestors-of-sandra-gale/john-sant-1811-1887 

John Sant was born to Abel Sant and Margaret Bayley in England.  He was the seventh of twelve children born to his parents.  When John was just ten years of age, his father was convicted of having a file in his lunch pail and sentenced to the prison ship which traveled to Australia.  This method of creating a prison population to do the work of the new colony was common in John’s day.  Abel was required to stay away from England for seven years.  One can imagine how heartbreaking it must have been for this father and for his wife and the twelve children he left behind.  In fact, Abel Sant died in Picton, New South Wales without ever returning to England or seeing his wife and children again.  The one exception was an adult son who traveled to see his father and was successful.

Cheshire History (also known s the County of Chester) England, is the starting point for Grandfather Abel Sant.

Cheshire is a maritime and inland country in the northwest of England. The maritime section from the Wirrall Peninsula that reaches out to the Irish Sea and bordering counties of Lances, York, Derby, Staff, Salop, Denbigh, and Flint. The chief rivers are the Mersy, the Weaver, and the Dee. There are many canals.

George Laub’s Nauvoo Journal

Edited by Eugene England

"Despite his unusually informative and moving Nauvoo Journal, George Laub is not well known to Latter-day Saints, or even to students of Mormon history. He was one of a number of faithful followers of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young who did not achieve notoriety—either through prominent position or through dramatic apostasy. But he was one of those ordinary Saints whose life was brushed by extraordinary events and forces and to whom our generation is increasingly attracted as we seek fuller understanding, both of our pioneer past, and of our own possibilities, from such humble but engaging lives.

King Frederick VII and Frederiksborg Castle

Peder Anderson and Anne Pedersen ("Annie Anderson") were close friends of the royal Danish family.  After Peder's death, the family joined the LDS church and traveled to Utah.  I am amazed at how wonderful the palace life was that they left behind, and I appreciate their sacrifice.  They went from riches to rags, and the family fortune was spent helping hundreds of Danish saints to migrate to Utah.

King Frederick VII

Below is a video of Frederiksborg Castle, where the royal family lived.  As aristocrats and servants to the royal family, our ancestors spent a lot of time in this castle, and lived nearby.

Jane Sant

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JANE SANT

On the banks of the River Mercy or nearby stood a little English cottage. Here lived John Sant, born 11 January 1811, and his wife Mary Shaw born in 1813. John was a boatman– he owned a bay mare and a river boat. He earned a living for his family of 12 children, himself, and his wife by freighting from Liverpool up the River Mercy to the towns and settlements upstream, for the large merchant ships could not navigate upstream in those days. The seventh child born to those goodly parents on 8 March, 1846 at Middlewich, England, was named Jane. As Jane opened her steel gray eyes she brought a great love, comfort, and happiness into that home. She had a very pleasant disposition, great personality, and always a pleasant smile. She went to nursery school at a very young age and due to her quick ability to learn she was kept in school while her other brothers and sisters were sent to work in factories to help earn a living for themselves and their family. Jane made friends in school and thus gained favor with the school masters. When the fee for her schooling came due, she was not turned out of school but kept on going. The family belonged to the Church of England, and Jane, while very young, was made a class leader in her hometown. She was blessed with a sweet voice and took part in many community gatherings due to this.

John Pulsipher

John Pulsipher was born 8 Jul 1749 O.S. (19 Jul 1749 N.S.) in Pomfret, Conn. He married Elizabeth Dutton in 1791-92 at the age of about 42. They were the parents of seven sons and three daughters, including their fifth son Zerah Pulsipher. He was buried in Rockingham, Vermont in July, 1827. Of his father, Zerah said:"My father was absolute in his family government, kind and affectionate to all his friends. His common practice was to make a feast once in a year and invite some of the poorest people that werein the town and semed to take pleasure in their company. I lived with him twenty five years and never knew him to turn a beggar away empty."
"...I have often heard my father say that the signs of Christ's second coming was often seen and that he would come before many years should pass away. And if he did not live to see it, likely his children would."
"In the fall of that season [1814] there were the most extraordinary Northern Lights that I had ever saw, it was the cause of many speculative notions among the people bu my father said it was the signs of the last days and of Christ's second coming. I regarded my father's remarks as specimens of good sense."

Thomas Sirls Terry Family Heritage Park

I stumbled upon this program today at http://hunt4terry.blogspot.com/search/label/Terry%20Enterprise%20Heritage%20Park
We are descended from Wilhelmina, daughter of Mary Ann Pulsipher Terry.  I am now interested in seeing this park in Enterprise, and I am intrigued to find out how we are related to Elder Holland's wife.

 

Hunt 4 Terry is an excellent family history resource for the Terry line.  Someone has put a lot of effort into this, and coordinating sites.  They also have granted permission to share their compilation work, with a request that you give them credit.

This Heritage Park is located in Enterprise, Utah, which is near St George and Cedar City.
