Winterton Prayer

 

PRAYER FOR THE AUTHOR AND OTHER

WINTERTONS WHO GROW OLDER DAY BY DAY

 

Lord, thou knowest better than I know myself that I am growing older and will some day be old.  Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject- and on every occasion.  Release me from craving to try to straighten out every Winterton’s affairs.

 

Lord, make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all--but thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end.

 

Lord, keep my mind free from the recital of endless details.. . Give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains. They are increasing and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by... I dare not ask for grace enough to enjoy the tales of other Winterton pains but help me to endure them with patience.

 

Lord, I dare not ask for improved memory, but allow me a growing humility and a lessening cocksureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of other Wintertons. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.

 

Lord, keep me reasonably sweet; I do not want to be a saint--some of them are so hard to live with- -but a sour old per son is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places and

talents in ordinary people.  Give me the grace to tell them so.

 

Amen


 

The Winterton Family Reunion

 

The Winterton Family Reunion is a regularly scheduled annual event at the Charleston, Wasatch County, Utah Memorial Park. On the first Saturday of August each year the descendants of Utah’s Pioneer William Hubbard Winterton bring their picnic lunches at noon and renew acquaintances as they break bread.

 

This picturesque location on the northern shores of the Deer Creek (Reservoir) Lake with its superb view of the eastern slopes of majestic Mount Timpanogos is the scene, several hours later, of a vocal and instrumental family talent program. Before each group separates to return

home, anecdotes and reminiscences of the lives of progenitors are exchanged and the names of brand new cousins are added to family records.

 

It was my privilege to attend the Winterton Family Reunion on Saturday, 3 August 1963, which noted the 100th anniversary of the emigration of William Hubbard Winterton 1816-1890 and his two sons John Marriott Winterton 1844-1910 and William Winterton 1846-1929 from Nottingham, England to Great Salt Lake City, Utah. They were reported to have been tramping in the dust of a covered wagon train in company with several hundred other Saints facing westward beside the banks of the Platte River somewhere in Nebraska at exactly this same hour, day, week and month in 1863--100 years ago.

 

Honored as the Senior Winterton citizen in attendance was Hyrum Shurtliff Winterton born 16 August 1878 at Charleston, Utah son of William and Ellen Widdison Winterton. The only other grandchild of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton present .at this reunion was Carrie Winterton Davis born 5 May 1893 daughter of William and Jane Steadman Winterton. A score or more of William’s grandchildren; Mrs. Bessie (Gill) Wahlen, Ann’s granddaughter; Mrs. Viola (Coleman) Coleman, John’s granddaughter; and William Hubbard Winterton’ s great grandchildren were also present as were numerous fifth and sixth generation Winterton descendants from many parts of the state.

 

The committee responsible for making arrangements for the 1964 Winterton Family - Reunion is headed by Mr. Sherron J. Winterton, son of Valeo James Winterton, grandson of William Winterton and great grandson of Pioneer William Hubbard Winterton.  A capacity attendance will be welcomed.

Foreword

 

For the past several years it has been my pleasure to participate in the preparation of family histories for Viola’s paternal ancestors. During

this time certain of her maternal ancestors families’ names and genealogical data has come into my possession.

 

Because this is the one hundredth anniversary of *e emigration of William Hubbard Winterton from England to Utah, it seemed particularly fitting that a record of his posterity be compiled together with biographical and historical data to commemorate that event.

 

The Winterton family have been Christian believers as far back as we have records concerning them so it was felt proper to proceed on the basis of the 6, 000 year old Bible chronology for our progenitors history. 

 

Evolutionists and pseudo –anthropologists who would make of our Winterton ancestor s some subhuman type of creature emerging from the mire of many millions of years ago, are welcome to prepare their own genealogies of our first earthly parents if they care to do so; but I prefer the Christian belief.

 

My first view of Charleston and Wasatch County came about the middle of the 1930 decade some 30 years ago. This was before the Deer Creek Dam had been constructed and before the backed-up waters of Provo River covered the land that furnished sustenance to members of the Winterton family.

 

I hope you will find “Winterton Pioneers of Utah” a suitable memorial to the family, which with some 80,000 other Utah pioneers endured so much to emigrate from their homelands.  The establishment of homes in Zion where they could worship according to their religious convictions was the accomplishment of William Hubbard, John, William, Ann, Tom and Sarah Winterton.

 

As a family historian my efforts are strictly amateurish.  Perhaps it is because I recognized my own shortcomings that I felt impelled to prepare this incomplete record.  May all the future Wintertons add to what is presently known of the family.

Since most of the Winterton progeny are so closely associated with Utah agriculture- - - raising live stock and producing hay, grain and foodstuffs the following poem (adapted) seemed a most appropriate tribute.

 

Wintertons Feed Them All

 

The politician talks and talks,

The actor plays his part;

The soldier glitters on parade,

The goldsmith plies his art.

The sailor navigates his ship,

O’er this terrestrial ball,

The scientist pursues his germ

And Wintertons feed them all.

 

The preacher pounds his pulpit desk,

Brokers read their tape;

The tailor cuts and sews his cloth

To fit the human shape.

The dame of fashion, dressed in silks,

Goes forth to dine or call,

Or drive, or dance, or promenade,

But Wintertons feed them all.

 

The workman wields his shiny tools,

The merchant shows his wares;

The astronaut above the clouds

A dizzy journey dares.

But art and science soon would fade,

And commerce dead would fall,

If the farmer ceased to reap and sow,

For Wintertons feed them all.


Acknowledgments

 

This book would not have been possible if our unknown Winterton ancestors of the 12th-16th centuries had heeded the spurious advice of the Arab philosopher Abu ala Al-Ma’ Arri of the eleventh Century who wrote:

 

“If ye unto your sons would prove

By act how dearly them you love

Then every voice of wisdom joins

To bid you leave them in your loins.”

 

Thank goodness our Winterton progenitors were Christian Englishmen and women who did not heed, and probably never heard of, the Arabian writer.

 

I particularly want to express my thanks and appreciation to the Salt Lake Genealogical Association for their generous and gratuitous permission to use library and archive facilities. for research basic to this book. Many of the Winterton pioneer s and their de scendants have deposited with the above organization their immediate family data.

 

I am indebted to them and to contemporary cousins and other Winterton relative s for the names and birth dates of 3rd, 4th and 5th cousins. Most of these names were supplied in response to letters, phone calls and personal contacts.

 

Pictures of our Winterton ancestors have been preserved by various descendants and family lines who sent the photos of the Winterton Pioneers which are presented here. Likewise much of the biographical material came from Winterton Family Memory books.

 

The name s of the descendants of the Winterton pioneers who have been most responsible for helping bring this book to completion by their encouragement, verbal and financial, are shown here in alphabetical order not only as an acknowledgment of their subscription but also as an accolade to their family kinsmanship.

THE SUMMIT COUNTY BEE

Thursday, October 3, 1963 No, 40 Coalville

WINTERTON HEREFORDS WIN

 

KAMAS- -

Winterton Brothers of Kamas won more total ribbons in the Hereford division at the Utah State Fair than any other breeder, it was pointed out this week.

 

The honors for the Summit County ranch were especially outstanding because this year ‘s Hereford show was the largest ever held in Utah, and the judge stated “the quality of cattle exhibited in the Hereford division exceeds that of most of the national shows,”

 

Hereford cattle were exhibited from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Utah.

 

Winterton Brothers won the following first places:

Champion bull.

Reserve champion female.

Summer yearling bull.

Winter heifer calf.

 


Winterington and Winteringham

Lincolnshire, England

 

The river Humber empties into the North Sea on the east coast of England at Greenwich 0 degrees longitude and about 53 ½ degrees north latitude. Upstream some twenty or thirty miles on the south bank between the city of Barton-on-the-Hurnber and the mouth of the River Trent and north of the Lincoln Wolds we find the communities known as Winterington (or Winterton) and Winteringham.

 

This area is some 60 or 70 miles from Che ster and Carlton (or Derby and Nottingham) where we find the f i r st known ancestors of William Hubbard Winterton, our Pioneer Utah progenitor, Being more than a little curious about the possibility that our progenitors may have originated in this area and taken the localities’ name as their own surname, I wrote to the Librarian at Lincoln, England and was furnished with the information which follows.

 

Much of this data was found in a book written by William Andrew of Winterton and printed by A. D. English, Silver -Street, Hull in 1836 A. D. The book is titled The History of Winterton and Adjoining Villages with a Notice of Their Antiquities. It was subscribed to by over 300 citizens of that area and dedicated to Lady Boynton who particularly encouraged the literary effort.

 

Various ancient and rare English records were examined to verify the authenticity of the historical background of the Winterton Village account. Re searched according to Mr. Andrews were the Doomsday Book, the Parliamentary W r i t s , the Charter Rolls in the Tower and other valuable and rare surveys. Every effort has been made to preserve the accuracy of quotations from old sources, but it should be kept in mind that the compiler of Winterton Pioneers of Utah did not have access to original documents and has had to rely on secondary sources for much of this portion of the book.

 

“Agriculture was the principal industry in Great Britain since about 1800 B.C. when the Britons began clearing the land for growing of subsistence Crops” states the American Peoples Encyclopedia. By about 1400 B.C. the Neolithic islanders had domesticated cattle and horses, were growing crops, mining tin and copper for implements, and weaving woolen clothing. By 400 B.C. the Celts had invaded the Islands, by 300 B. C. the Greeks had visited the islands and conducted some trading, by 55 B. C. the Romans had invaded and conquered the southern portion of England. About 450 A. D. the Saxons, Angles and Jutes came to the British Isles from the Teutonic coasts of the north of Europe. At first they made only temporary forays on the island returning to the shelter of their homeland for the winter months. They gradually discovered that the relatively mild weather along the coast and up the Abus, now the Humber River, to the confluence with the Trent would permit outdoor grazing for their livestock almost every winter day, hence they wintered there in ever growing numbers.

 

By 800 A.D. the Danes had begun to invade this part of England. They sailed into the Humber and laid waste to large portions of the adjacent English countryside. When a large Danish fleet was destroyed by storm in the Humber in 838 A.D. the barbaric invaders became so enraged that they indiscriminately killed the Christian English women and children along with the male fighting forces of the Saxons. The Danes took away much plunder to Denmark and continued pillaging the countryside for several centuries. They, too, took up winter residence at a number of towns in the Winterton area and forced the natives to pay fealty to them as sovereign rulers.

 

Winterington and Winteringham were included in the 33 lordships given to Norman d’Arcy or Darcey by William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings and the conquest of England by the Normans in lo66 A. D. During the next three hundred years Winterton, as it now came to be called, was owned and inherited by a successive line of Darcey Barons, i.e. Robert, Thomas I, Thomas II, Norman I, Norman II, Phillip I, Norman III 1264-1296 who endowed the Winterton church with 2 pounds 13 shillings 4 pence annually for “serving God.”  Then came Phillip II, in the 24th year of the reign of Edward I of England, and Norman (the fourth of that name) who died without children in 1340 while fighting in Flanders.

 

Since then Winterton ‘demesne lands’ have never been held by one person but have been divided among several feudal lords and men of family and property. The Darcey Castle very likely stood to the west of town on the road now called “Yerles Gate” which is probably an abbreviation of the Earls Gate. Disappointingly though, no record was found of the name Winterton being used as a surname in this area at the above period of history.

 

An interesting document signed and sealed 10th August 1456 has been preserved which reads:

 “This endenture made between The Prior and Convent of Malton and the Parson and Kirk of Winterton on the one part and the parishioners of the same town of Winterton on the other part; Beareth Witness, that whereas the said parishioners claim to have of the Prior and Convent yearly, a deacon, founded in the said Church of Winterton, sufficiently learned in reading and singing to the Maintenance of Gods service in the same place. Also the said parishioners claim to have, in the Ember days before Christmas, one quarter of wheat meal, two oxen, 5 pairs of shoes, and 105 shillings to be given to the poor people of the same parish; Beareth Witness that it is agreed the Prior and Convent of Malton and their successors shall have certain swapes of meadows, (swapes appears to mean sweeps of the hand scythe sometimes written as swarthes or swaths) called Friar-Crofts, Typpete and Shackhole for all the grass there growing according to the custom then used … the parishioners of Winterton have agreed to abide the rule of Roger Fawconberg, Esquire of all the premises and all matters between them from the beginning of the world to the day of making this indenture … the Convent of Malton shall at their own cost repair a dyke lying in Winterton, between Friar-Crofts and Brawater as often as it needs to be repaired.”

 

An absolution granted to a person of opulence at the Winterton Lincolnshire England church in 1511 A.D. is curiously interesting as an example of Christian ceremony of that time possibly some of our Winterton ancestors owed feudal allegiance to such leaders of the community life.  It was granted some years before the Winterton Kirk in the late Sixteenth Century   “… suffered much damage from the bigatry and infidelity abounding. in these troubled times … and had seriously gone to decay that for some time there was neither glass for the windows nor covering for the body of the building … the congregation being exposed to the weather … until Mr. Place at his own disadvantage, liberally supplied the deficiencies … new floors, new oak pews, walls cleaned, bells recast, yard levelled, glass installed …” (and of course a new roof).

 

“To our most dearly beloved in Christ George Blank and Elizabeth his wife; Chief Guardian of the Friars’ Minors at Lincoln: Health and the attainment of the Kingdom of Heaven, through the intercession of Holy Orders! So soon as I heard of the sincere devotion which you bear us for the reverence of Christ, giving diligent heed, and lovingly accepting those things, quite conducive to the salvation of souls,. I was desirous so far as I am able under God, to confer some spiritual blessing upon you in return to which end I grant unto you a perpetual participation both in life and after death of all indulgences masses, prayers, fastings, severities, watchings, preachings, and all other, good works which our merciful Saviour shall graciously vouchsafe to perform by the brethren placed under my care by these presents. Adding moreover of special favor, that whensoever the memorial of your death shall be rehearsed in our chapel, the same shall be done for you in all and every point that is used to be done for the deceased brethren and friends of our order then commemorated.  Farewell heartily, under the banner of the Great King, the poor, the Crucified Saviour, and buckler of his dearest Mother, The Virgin.”

 

Probably the most celebrated remnant of antiquity, to be seen in present times, at Winterton are the various tessellated Roman pavements which have been described in an encyclopedia as:

“… chequered pavements consist of cubical stones commonly about ½ inch in length whereof some are natural stones wrought into that form and others artificially made like brick; these are of several colours as white, black, blue, green, red, and yellow and are closely pitched together in a floor of fine plaster, so disposed of by the artist with respect to colour, as to exhibit figures to shew beasts, birds, trees, etc.”

 

The community of Winterton is described by Mr. Andrews (ibid) as… bounded on the east side by the old Roman road or as it is called Herman or Old Street; about a mile from Appleby this Roman way passes through the Roxby pasture, the property of Mr. Elwes, runs across the Horkstow Road, from Winterton, and by the East Field farm into the Winteringham lordship; the direct line it formerly took through the latter town to the Humber lies now nearly a mile to the east of that place and is destroyed by inclosures. It (Winterton) is bounded again on the west by the Cliff hills and is eight miles west by south of Barton. Winterton once of so much importance to the Romans is still (1836) a flourishing town and contains twelve or thirteen hundred inhabitants …”

 

The site of old Winteringham was almost enclosed by water and is properly described as a small peninsula between the Ankham and Humber rivers. There was a spring of fresh water on it which is a rarity arising so near an arm of the sea.  Winteringham has been described (in 1836) as a long straggling place about seven miles westward from Barton containing 159 houses and 745 inhabitants and the site of the Roman fort and town Ad Abum.

 

This was also a favorite wintering place for many peoples in the 1000 B. C. to 1000 A.D. period of time Celts, Romans, Saxons, and Danes in particular enjoyed the green winter-time pastures for their livestock. History records the Danes were here on November 12, 1012 A.D. and that a terrible massacre took place that might be in retribution for previous sufferings of the Britons.

 

The very ancient record Doomsday Book mentions this community of Winteringham in the following manner “… in Wintringeham Ulf had twelve carueates of land to be taxed, land to as many ploughs. Robert a vassal of Gilberts has there four ploughs …” even back there 900 years or so ago the Wintertons were farmers!  They were servants or subject at that time to Gilbert de Gant a nephew of William the Conqueror who had among other holdings the lordship of Winteringham. It included one ferry of thirteen shillings, the bed of a fishery, value ten pounds, three mills of 37 shillings and four pence as well as a priest and a church.

 

Robert Lord Marmion in the year 1166 held in Winteringham twelve knights fees by descent and three by purchase. The Marmion family were hereditary champions of the English kings for several centuries and are to be remembered as the subject of Sir Walter Scott’s imperishable saga of early English literature of which one couplet reads:

“We fain of thee would search to know

What warrior form lies cold below!”

 

As at Winterington so it is at Winteringham in neither town nor hamlet have the names of early Winterton progenitors of the William Hubbard Winterton family been preserved for their posterities view. We do not know which Winterton males served Darcey and Marmion or fought the advances of William the Conqueror. We do not know the names of the Wintertons that worshipped at the Kirk, Convent or Parish-house. We do not know the names of Wintertons who may have violated some byelaw rule or ordinance and hastily moved to the adjoining shire of Derby or Nottingham during Medieval Centuries to avoid punishment.

 

An old Winteringham Parish “lack-kount” book has recorded in it, by the Churchwarden of the Seventeenth Century, such byelaws as these:

“… none shall burne or bake at any unlawful time of nighte on paine of three shillings and four pence” “… none shall dry any hempe or flax by the fire upon paine of three shillings and four pence.” “… none shall smoke tobacco on the streets upon paine of two shillings for every default.”

 

May I complete this presentation of the Winterington and Winteringham areas of Lincolnshire England which undoubtedly are the origination of our Winterton family surname by quoting from a letter written by Henry Kirke White in August 1804 when he was in residence at the Winteringham rectory house though later he studied at Cambridge.  He wrote:

‘Winteringham is indeed now a delightful place, the trees are in full verdure, the crops are browning in the fields, and my former walks are becoming dry underfoot … the opening vista from our churchyard over the Humber to the hills and receding vales of Yorkshire assume a thousand new aspects. I sometimes watch it in the evening when the sun is just gilding the summits of the hills, and the lowlands are beginning to take a browner line. The showers partially falling in the distance, while all is serene above me the swelling sail rapidly falling down the river and not least of all the villages woods and villas on the opposite bank sometimes render this scene quite enchanting to me.”


Introduction

 

This is the story of the William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton fami1y. William Hubbard born 26 June 1816 and Sarah 14 Feb 1825 were married at Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England, where they had lived their 26 and 17 years respectively, on the 24th of October 1842.

 

Early in their married life they heard the gospel story told by the missionaries sent to England by the recently organized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in North America. They believed and were baptised, Wil1iam on the 6th of January 1850 and Sarah on the 3rd of June of that same year.

 

Some thirteen years later enough money had been saved to buy passage for three of the family to come to Zion in the Utah valleys of North America. William Hubbard Winterton and his two oldest sons John Marriott and William ages 19 and 17 were the ones who boarded the sailing vessel “John J. Boyd” on that fateful day in 1863.

 

Little did William and Sarah realize that day they would never see each other again! Tearful and sorrowful as the 1863 parting was, Sarah believed, I am sure, that she would soon take the other children to Utah to join her husband in Zion and see the “Tops of the Mountains” where the Saints worshipped with freedom of conscience, where the Temple was being built and where President Brigham Young personally and inspirationally preached the revealed Gospel.

 

The three pioneer Wintertons reached America and were in the John R. Murdock Company as they started across the Plains. They overtook a Wells-Fargo wagon train company on the Sweetwater River near the Black Hills in charge of a Captain Creighton. Several of the Freightwagon drivers had quit and the Mormon immigrants were solicited for new employees.

 

This was the first opportunity the Winterton boys had for employment in America and they accepted the jobs at once. They soon learned to drive the three yoke of oxen hitched to the heavily loaded wagons of freight destined for California. After their return from the Pacific Coast, they drifted about from Salt Lake to Provo and other places finally settling in Wasatch County in 1865.

 

William Hubbard Winterton after arriving in Salt Lake City soon found employment as “Toll Gate Keeper” in Parley’s Canyon, a position he held for many years.

 

Two more of the Winterton family came to Utah in 1869, Ann and Thomas aged 20 and 18 years respectively. They arrived in Salt Lake City and met their father after crossing the Plains as passengers of the new transcontinental railroad just six years after his journey with their brothers.  Sarah Winterton who had married and divorced Arthur Parker in England came to Utah about 1896.  Her two children Eliza Ann and Fred Parker had

journeyed to Carleston, Utah a year or so earlier.

 

Sarah Marriott Winterton, the wife and mother who had worked so hard and sacrificed so much to save the money for her loved ones journey to Utah, died at Nottingham, England in 1902 surviving her husband by almost twelve years.  Neither she nor three of her children who died as infants left England.

 

John Winterton and his sister Ann Winterton married Emma Inkpen Noakes and George Washington Noakes daughter and son of George and Sophia Crowfoot Noakes, another early pioneer Mormon family that had settled at Charleston on land that is now inundated by the waters of Deer Creek Reservoir.

 

The Winterton Pioneers and many of their descendants farmed the irrigated Wasatch County lands and grazed their cattle or sheep on nearby mountainsides and in adjoining valleys particularly on the range that is now known as Strawberry Valley. They have contributed their full share to the growth and development of the Utah community.

 

On 3 August 1963, when Viola and I went to Charleston to attend the Winterton Family Reunion, we also drove past the fields where Grandfather

John Marriott Winterton and Great Uncle William Winterton first cut hay with hand scythes. The farms they homesteaded are now irrigated fields of alfalfa hay, for the most part, the first cutting of which had been neatly stored in barns and the second crop was about ready to cut. Fat dairy cows belonging to Winterton descendants enjoyed green pastures.

 

Our grandparents’ home is no longer standing, having been dismantled several years ago when it ceased to be habitable. The backed-up waters of Deer Creek Reservoir cover the land where grandmother Emma I. and great Uncle George W. Noakes lived as children and young adults. Much of the area just south of Charleston so familiar to John and Emma, William and Ellen, Ann and George during their courting days of 1869 and 1870 are covered by water.

 

If the level of Deer Creek Reservoir should be raised to provide more storage space for the winter runoff waters of the Upper Provo River, as some water engineers suggest as the best solution for arid acres below, then the pioneer Winterton farms and Charleston may become part of the lake bottom. If that should happen, the Winterton family surely will find another place to hold their reunion.

 

This book is divided into eight parts, one part for each of the William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton families’ children. A separate chapter is devoted to each of their thirty-three grandchildren. In order to readily identify each of their numerous progeny a system of coding has been devised and adapted for use in this Winterton Pioneers of Utah book.

 

The letter ‘W’ will stand for the Winterton family name and for William Hubbard Winterton’s father. W1 then will stand for William Hubbard Winterton 18160-1890; W11 will stand for pioneer John Marriott Winterton 1844-1910 his oldest son; W1ll will stand for John Eugene Winterton 1871 - 1959; W1111 will stand for Jesse Richard Winterton born 7 Nov 1900; and W11111 will stand for Ernest Winterton, a fifth generation descendant of William Hubbard Winterton.

 

Or as another example of the coding system, let’ s use W125211 Julie Winterton born 14 Aug 1956, a sixth generation descendant of William Hubbard Winterton. Her father is W12521 Eldon Willoughby Winterton born 31 May 1933.  Her grandfather is W1252 Van Delos Winterton born 21 May 1905.  Her great grandfather is W125 Hyrum Shurtleff Winterton born 16 Aug 1878.  Her second great grandfather is the pioneer W12 William Winterton 1846-1929. Her third great grandfather is the senior Winterton pioneer W1 William Hubbard Winterton 1816-1890.

 

For numbering those families in which there are more than 9 children a dash will be used to indicate the two digits are to be read as a whole number. For example W11-12-1 Viola Mae Coleman is the first child of Isabella Winterton who was the twelfth child of John Marriott Winterton, who in turn was the first child of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton.

 

Winterton descendants, by familiarizing themselves with this system of family coding, can readily determine who is their common progenitor and just what relationship they are to each other.  Numbers can be given to yet unborn generations by simply adding a digit to the parents’ number in the numerical sequence of their birth.

 

The following relationship chart will assist in classifying your relationship to kinfolk in corrollary lines such as “second cousin once removed” or “grand nephew” etc.

Winterton Chronology

4000 B.C to 1963 A.D.

 

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And God created man in His own image, … male and female he created them.”

Genesis I: 1 and 27

 

The foregoing Bible verses are the record of the earliest of our Winterton ancestors.  Adam and Eve, according to most Bible students, were given life about 5963 years ago--or about 4000 B.C. If we assume that a new generation of life is created on the average of every twenty-five years we are the 240th generation of descendants from our original ancestors or if as some folks claim the average time for a new generation is more nearly twenty-three years we may be the 260th generation from Adam and Eve.

 

The Bible writer Mathew, a Jew, at his first chapter first seventeen verses gives us a very interesting genealogy of our Savior’s ancestry back through King David and on to Abraham to prove Jesus was the promised Messiah. His contemporary writer Luke, a Greek Gentile, traced our Savior’s ancestry back to Adam in an apparent effort to present him as a Universal Savior for all races of mankind. (Chapter 3:23-38)

 

Frankly, I have no axes (good or bad) to grind in preparing this genealogical account of a small segment of our ancestral line, I believe there is a lot of good in all of us--there is good and bad in the best of us and there is good and bad in the worst of us. The information on our Winterton relatives is presented as it was given to us without embellishment or criticism,

 

In the following paragraphs an attempt will be made to follow our ancestors and their activities down to our present generation and the year 1963 A.D. This writing is a sort of centennial memorial of the arrival of our Winterton ancestors in Utah in 1863. Our Winterton ancestral line of progenitors is far from complete for there are several thousands of years in which we do not know our ancestral progenitors names. What an interesting area this would be for further genealogical research. Perhaps some Winterton descendant will yet succeed in the task.

 

4000-2370 B.C. - Antediluvian Ancestors

Adam and Eve were created, married and they became the parents of Cain, Abel, Enoch, Seth, and other sons and daughters.  Genesis 5:5 … Adam lived 930 years and died (about 3096 B.C.) Enoch transferred about 3039 B.C. Noah was born about 2969 B.C. a son of Lamech, a grandson of Methuselah, a great grandson of Enoch, and a second great grandson of Adam.  Lamech dies at age 777, and Methuselah dies at age 969 prior to the Flood which some Bible scholars date during the year 2369 B.C.

 

Genesis 5:32 “Noah was 500 years old and then he got three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”  These three sons were probably born between 90 and 100 years before the Flood. During this 100 year period before the Flood, Noah preached God’s righteousness and built an Ark of Gopher Wood.  The only people on the earth at that time who were not corrupt and therefore not destroyed were Noah, Japheth, Shem, Ham and their wives. (Genesis 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th chapters)

 

2369-2000 B.C. - Post Flood Ancestors

Our Winterton ancestor Noah lived after the Flood according to the Genesis account chapter 9 verse 28 and 29 for 350 years for a total life span of 950 years.  He died about 2020 B.C. The Winterton ancestry would appear to have descended through Noah’s youngest son Japheth and his wife.  The 10th chapter of Genesis verses 2 thru 5 adds two more generations.

“The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meschech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.  By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.”

 

2000 B.C. - 500 B.C. - Pre-Historical Period

The grandsons of Noah by his son Japheth, in each succeeding generation, moved north and west from the Euphrates Valley, from the land of Shinar, and away from the ruins of the Tower of Babel.  Among these families and tribes were the remote origins of the Winterton family.  Shem and Ham’s children populated Africa, Arabia, Persia, India, Asiatic, and southern lands.

 

Gorner who was the father of the Galatians (and possibly as some claim the Teutons) and Magog the father of the Scythians first settled on the western shores of the Caspian Sea in what is now called Southern Russia.  Javan occupied the area we know as Greece and the Balkan Peninsula.  Tubal the lands South of the Black Sea or much of what is called Asia Minor in recent Geography books.  Meschech and his children squeezed in between Tubal and Magog along the eastern and northern shores of the Black Sea.  Kittim (Chittin) and Dodanim took to the water and enjoyed the islands in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.  Tarshish went even farther west to Southern Spain on our maps.  The thirty-eighth chapter of Ezekial sixth verse refers to Togarmah and all his bands as being in the uttermost parts of the north.  Actually it seems they were east of the Caspian Sea and scattered in an area extending to Mongolia and north to Siberia an area called Turkestan by recent geographers.

 

The Winston Dictionary on my library shelf to which I referred for  information on the word Japhethic said it was used to designate members of the Caucasian races of Europe to distinguish them from the Semitic and Hamitic races of people in other parts of the world.

 

It is quite probable that Japheth’s sons or grandsons reached the British Isles well before the year 2000 B.C. as they scattered abroad on the face of the earth.  The ancient wanderers were not only our ancestors but also the progenitors of the so-called aborigines found by the Keltic (or Celtic) invaders of the 5th Century B.C.  The Kelts, whose origin was the Central European region between the headwaters of the Rhine and Danube, are said to have brought a higher level of civilization and culture to the islands than was known before that time.  It seems likely to me that both groups had common Japhethic ancestors some 1700-1800 years before the Keltic invasion.

 

It is claimed that Japheth had a knowledge of the British Isles which he transmitted to his posterity after the Flood with such glowing accounts of its desirability as a place to live that they were all trying to reach it--some going via the Mediterranean route, some via Europe and the Danube-Rhine valleys and others north into what is now Russia and then west through the North Sea and Scandinavian countries.

 

Legends or traditions claim that Adam was the father of 33 sons and 23 daughters, that Ireland’s fairy stories have their origin in Enoch’s transferance; that one system or time used in reckoning chronological events such as Adam’s birth, the flood, etc. has these events actually take place 300 years later than the dates I have used; these legendary sources also assert that

the British Isles were occupied before the Big Deluge by Adam’s sons and several generations of his grandsons who were in communication with their cousins and other relatives in the Fertile Crescent and Euphrates Valley Areas.  A few more reliable dates will cover the intervening generations.

500 - 600 A.D. - What’s in a Name

The first written or documentary evidence of our family name or one of reasonably close resemblance that has come to my notice was made by the Anglo Saxon warrior-chief Hereward whose exploits are dated in the sixth century. He lauds one “Winter” as his most faithful and loyal bodyguard but we do not learn what the fates had in store for his comrade at arms.

 

Perhaps you have been as curious to learn the meaning or origination of the name Winterton as I was when this family research project commenced.  Etymologists tell us that all names are originally significant and that many of the English surnames in particular come from their occupation or home community or some combination of these and other factors.

 

An unknown writer in discus sing family names has said, “No name is to be disliked, the evil does not disgrace the good, neither does the good restore the evil to fair repute!”  Another writer of some years ago--”Camden”—philosophized “To finde out the true originall of surnames is fulle of difficultie.”  The most cogent thought though is that somewhat sarcastic exclamation:

“…His parents are the Lord knows who!”

 

It is impossible--for me at least--to put the name “Winterton” in a straitjacket and come up with a one origin or meaning of our sobriquet.  Neither can I determine for certain exactly when or where the name Winterton was first used by our progenitors as a hereditary surname.

 

The English records such as Domesday Book, 100 rolls, etc. extant from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries contain such names as John le Vinetur, Ralph le Vinetuner, William le Wyneter, and show a Norman influence as well as an occupational adaptation.  These men and others undoubtedly took the name of their trade --that of wine merchant, grape grower, or perhaps the more specialized and closely related early industrial activity that of putting the spiritous beverages and liquors in containers called TUNS.  A man from the community where this work was performed being called, let us say, “William from the Wine Tunners (or Vintners) Town,” which was soon shortened to suit the Anglo Saxon taste “William Winterton.”

 

Perhaps William le Wyneter mentioned above was an important and well-known man in his and surrounding areas and John left that town to go to another area, what would be more natural than to refer to him as John from Wyneter’s Town and before long he would be signing his name John Wyntertowne and later it would be as we see it today Winterton.

 

Here is an interesting couplet, naming trades that give rise to surnames, from an early Medieval English poem entitled “Cocke Lorrelles Boteu”:

… Woolenen, Vynterers and Fleshmongers,

Salteras, Jewelers and Haberdashers.

 

Some etymologists suggest the names Winter, Finter or Vinter have a Cornish origin and are from that ancient tongues words for “white water” GWYN DOUR.  The addition of town, hall, bottom, field, etc. to the base word not changing its meaning, i.e. Winterton means town near White Water or Winterbottom means White Water in the lowest portion of a steep valley, field near the White Water, etc.

 

Certain dictionaries define winter in addition to a season of the year as meaning cold, unattractive, unpleasant, disagreeable.  Some claim that as pressure was applied to our progenitors to furnish two names a surname as well as a Christian name it often happened that when William was born in the winter he would sign his name in after years, if he learned to write that is, as William Winter to distinguish himself from that other William living nearby who caught herring for a living- -and he in self protection learned to sign his name as William Herring. The “ton” being added as someone else came to identify themself as being from Winter’s town or from the Herring town.

 

Many other family names have been formed in addition to our own Winterton name by the adding of another word or syllable to the “‘Winter” root.  Recently I examined a number of telephone directories for widely scattered American cities on file in the Salt Lake City Telephone Office Building lobby.

 

From just this one source the following “Winter–plus” names were noted and found listed in alphabetical order.  Surely we have progenitors in common with some of them no more than forty or fifty generations back along the ancestral lines of ancient England.  You may recall more such names than are listed here.

 

Winterberg, Winterberger, Winterbotham, Winterbottam, Winterbottom, Winterburn, Wintercorn, Winterer, Winterfall, Winterfeld, Wintergalen, Wintergarden, Wintergood, Wintergreen, Winterhalder, Winterhall, Winterhalter, Winterhoff, Winterholder, Winterhouse, Winterkorn, Winterling, Winterman, Wintermantel, Wintermute, Wintermyer, Winternitz, Winterose, Winterowd, Winters, Wintersdorff, Wintersgill, Wintersmith, Wintersole, Winterson, Wintersport, Winterstein, Winterstellar, Winterstine, Winterville and Winterwerp.

 

An Etymological Dictionary written in 1857 by William Arthur defines our surname as follows:

“Winterton- -from the village of Winterton in the County of Norfolk,  England, so called from its cold situation.

 

The “Topography Dictionary of England” published in 1840 lists two places called Winterton. One is a parish in the Wapentake of Manley, County of Lincoln miles from Barton-upon-Humber containing at that time 1840 some 1295 inhabitants.  It is about 55 miles North of Nottingham and 70 miles from where our early Winterton progenitors lived in Derbyshire.  They could easily have walked the distance in several days time.

 

The other Winterton is a parish in the hundreds of West Flegg Eastern Division of the County of Norfolk 5½ miles N by W from Caistor containing 631 inhabitants (in 1840).  On a promontory called Winterton Ness are two lighthouses (about 5 miles north on the Coastline from New Yarmouth on our 1960 maps). This is about 90 miles south west of Breadsall and Little Chester in Derbyshire where we find early Winterton ancestors.

 

This is a reply to a letter of inquiry I sent asking for information about the Winterton name.

Dear Mr. Coleman,                                                11th October, 1963.

 

Thank you for your enquiry of 23rd September. Winterton is an ancient fishing village, lying in a bay, 8 miles north of “Winterton Ness”, a dangerous headland once dreaded by sailors as much as any part of the Coast between the Humber and the Thames.  It has 912 inhabitants and contains 1,367 acres of land, exclusive of a large extent of seabeach and warren. This Coastal parish has almost four miles of sandy beach backed by dunes - now

an ideal site for holidaymakers.

 

The name “Winterton,” derives from the Old English “tun” meaning an enclosure, a farmstead, an estate or a village.  There are many towns and villages in England with this suffix, e.g. -Hampton, Plumpton, Allerton, etc. (there are 230 in the County of Devon alone).  In the case of Winterton, it would almost certainly denote the seasonal uses of the farms (i.e. used in Winter).  The soil is light in this area, but very fertile, the chief crops today being wheat, oats and barley.

 

Winterton was originally a township.  It is mentioned in the Domesday Book, and it can be presumed that it was once a place of much consequence as it formerly had a market and a fair and races (now discontinued). The people of Winterton have always been a hardy group, but due to their associations with the sea, a very superstitious one as well.

 

The Church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity and All Saints, was built about 1400.  It consists of a nave, South porch, Chancel and fine embattled tower.  The latter is 120 feet high and is surmounted by four carved figures in lieu of pinnacles. It contains five bells and its summit commands an extensive view of the ocean.  New windows were inserted in the Chancel in 1859.  The roof of the Nave is supported by 18 wooden pillars, 9 on either side and the pulpit stands under the centre of the Chancel arch.  Here, is a brass to Thomas Husband, dated 1676, and several tablets of the Knights, Lens, Huntington and Hume families. The Rectory House was built in 1822.

 

Daniel Defoe, who visited this part of the coast about 1722, wrote of it, that the farmers and other country people “had scarce a barn, or a shed, or a stable, nay, not the pales of their yards and gardens….but what was built of old planks, beams, wales and timbers –etc., the wrecks of ships and ruins of Mariners and Merchants’ fortunes.”  He goes on to give a vivid picture of a shocking disaster on this part of the coast one night about 1692, in which were involved 200 light colliers from Yarmouth, a fleet of ships from the North and vessels from Lynn and Wells, laden with Corn for Holland.  In a sudden storm over 200 ships and a thousand lives were lost.

 

On the 1st September, 1756, the Winterton folk saw the finish of a sharp sea-fight between H.M.S. Hazard and the French privateer La Subtille, carrying twelve guns and eighty-six men.  The engagement began off Lowestoft and was continued for six hours.  The prisoners were landed at Yarmouth and lodged in the gaol; but by undermining a wall fourteen of them escaped and only four were retaken.

 

An inscription in the Church links Winterton with the nineteenth century political philosopher Joseph Hume, who lived at the Hall.  In his young days he was a surgeon in the East India Company, and by the time he was 30 he was able to come home with all the money he needed.  For 30 years he was one of our leading politicians, and though a bad speaker in Parliament, he was a good leader for the abolition of abuses and an ardent advocate of freedom of trade with India.  Untiring in exposing extravagence, his watchword was Peace and Reform, and it was largely due to his efforts that flogging in the Army, the Press Gang, and the old System of imprisonment for debt were abolished.  He started the Savings Bank movement, and his daughter, Eliza Greenhow, who has a memorial at Winterton, is remembered for the splendid work she did in helping on National Schools.

 

The lighthouse built in 1617 stands on a lofty summit on the south east side of the village.  It is a hexagonal tower, nearly 70 ft. high.  It is the property of Trinity House, London, and was granted in 1687 to Sir Edward Turnow, with “ld. per ton for every vessel sailing by”.  There were formerly two lights on the Ness, more than a mile north of the village, but they were removed about 1830.  In 1859, a life boat was placed here by the National Life Boat Association, and in 80 years of its history the Lifeboat saved 500 lives.

 

Winterton has given the title of Earl to the Turnow family since the year 1766.  The present Earl is the 6th Earl Winterton (Edward Turnow, P.C., T.D.), Viscount Turnow, and Baron Winterton, of Gort, Co. Galway, in Ireland, and Baron Turnow of Shillinglee, Co. Sussex in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

1000 to 1700 A.D. - Medieval Chronology

1066 A.D.                       The Normans invaded England and defeated the Saxons at the Battle of Hastings.  Were any of our Winterton ancestors in that fight?

1100 - 1200 A.D.             Were the years of the Crusades.  Did any of our unknown Winterton ancestors take part in these religious pilgrimages?

1215 A.D.                       Magna Carta signed at Runnymede.  Were any Wintertons at this famous gathering?

1295 A.D.                       English Parliament established.

1349 A.D.                       The Black Death, a mysterious plague, took the lives of over a third of the English population.  How many of our Winterton ancestors were involved in that horrible tragedy is not known.

1492 A.D.                       Columbus sailing for Spain after being refused ships by England, discovers the American continents.

1611 A.D.                       The Bible is printed in the English language and made authorized reading by King James.  No doubt many of our Winterton ancestors heard its words read for the first time early in the seventeenth century.

1620 A.D.                       The Puritan emigration to America commenced as a result of religious intolerance on the part of England’s rulers.

1700 A.D. to Present - Modern Chronology

1755 A.D.                       William Winterton, the grandfather of William Hubard Winterton 1816-1890 was born this year at Breadsall, Derbyshire, England. This place is about 30-35 miles distant from the Nottingham area where our grandparents were born. His wife Ruth Buxton is thought to have been born at the same place a few years later.

 

The community of Breadsall is described in the “Topographical Dictionary of England” published in 1840 by Samuel Lewis as a parish, in the Union of Shardow, hundred of Appletree, three miles northeast by North from Derby containing 565 inhabitants at the last census.  The Church is a large handsome structure with a lofty spire.  The living is a rectory valued in the king’s books at slightly over 28 pounds.

 

A nonconformist divine of considerable celebrity was the incumbent in this parish from 1644-1662 (who may have started our Winterton ancestors to think about religious subjects for themselves). The Little Eaton Canal and railroad pass through the parish (in 1840 but not in 1755).  Here was anciently a house of friars, hermits afterwards converted into a priority for monks.

 

William Winterton 1755-17?? married about 1780 Ruth Buxton born about 1760.  They were the parents of John Winterton, born 6 April 1781 died 5 April 1825.  If there were other children it has not been determined, neither has the death date of the parents been found in my research.

 

Apparently William and Ruth Buxton Winterton have moved a few miles from their birthplace as the Lewis Topographical Dictionary of England 1840 edition describes Little Chester, John Winterton’s birthplace, as a township in the parish of St. Alkmund and the Union of Derby, but without the limits of the borough, in the hundreds of Morelton and Litchurch containing (at that time) 191 inhabitants.  It is situated on the eastern bank of a stream about one mile north-northeast of the town Derwent.

 

The Domesday-book referred to this place as “Cestre” a parcel of the ancient demesne of the Crown.  Numerous remains of Roman antiquity such as foundations, and coins of gold, silver and copper have been found here.

 

1796                      The year of the Great bread riot in London, England.

 

1802                      on the 8th of November John Winterton (Born 6 April 1781 died 5 April 1825) married Ann Hubbard (born 10 July 1782 died 20 January 1857) at Nottingham, England.

 

Not much is known of these ancestors other than that they led miserable lives by our present day standards, John was pressed into the British Army shortly after marriage and served overseas for ten years 1805-1815.  Whether he was with the British regiments that fought the Americans in the War of 1812 or whether he served in India or some other part of the world I do not know.  It was only after he was injured and disabled that he was permitted to return home to his wife and daughter (Ruth Ann Winterton born 22 Oct 1803 died 19 Jan 1877 was the wife of William Britton).  John’s son-our great grandfather William Hubbard Winterton--was born 26 June 1816 the year following his father’s release from the army.  If John and Ann had other children, their names are not known to me nor did I notice any such indications in my research.

 

1811                               Frequent riots in England’s manufacturing districts and in 1812 war was declared against United States.

 

1816                               On the 26th of June William Hubbard Winterton, our great grandfather and a pioneer in the settlement of Salt Lake City and Utah, was born at Nottingham, England. His father John Winterton 1781-1825 had apparently moved about thirty miles east of his birthplace but his mother Ann Hubbard seems to be a native of Nottingham City as well as of Nottingham Shire (County).

 

To obtain a picture of the community in which our ancestors were born and lived and married I have consulted the Topographical Dictionary of England published in 1840 by Samuel Lewis, a copy of which is in the Salt Lake Genealogical Library.  Reading this description written at the time they were residing there gives one a better under standing of their story and actions.

 

Nottinghamshire is an inland county of England being bounded on the north by Yorkshire on the East by Lincolnshire on the South by Leicestershire, and on the East by Derbyshire containing about 536,000 acres and in 1840 about

225,000 people (the 1960 census figures are 841,000).

 

The Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia flourished here about 1400 years ago.  During the Middle Ages there was strong fortifications and much fighting of civil wars in the area.  The river Trent flows through the county and is bordered by rich grasslands and fertile soil.  Crops cultivated here during the early part of the nineteenth century include wheat, rye, barley, oats, beans, peas and grasses.  Hops, burnet and woad are also mentioned.  Much of the area was once covered with forest and deer were plentiful but has since been “disafforested” and the red deer are entirely “extirpated.”

 

The City of Nottingham is 124 miles north northwest of London and had in 1840 about 51,000 inhabitants, the number in 1960 had grown to 306,000 people despite the emigrations of William Hubbard Winterton and other families to America during the latter half of the nineteenth century.  During the seventh to tenth centuries the Danes held intermittent possession of Nottingham.  William the Conqueror considered it an important area and placed his son in charge.  Many battles, plots and counterplots as well as treason occurred in the area as various political forces attempted to establish their supremacy in England during the 1200-1800 A.D. period.

 

Following the French and American revolutions in about 1811 and 1812 and only a couple of years prior to William Hubbard Winterton’s birth there occurred in Nottingham the organization of workingmen known as the “Luddites”“ who “ …. ascribed their distress to the introduction of new machinery and as a consequence were excited to the destruction of considerable property- -buildings as well as machines.  The next several years have also witnessed several disturbances occasioned by the framework knitters which have caused the passing of the 57th Act by King George III …”  It would be interesting to know what the Winterton ancestors and their corrallary family lines were doing in those troubled times.

 

The City of Nottingham gets its name from the numerous caverns and subterraneous dwellings excavated in the sandy rock on which it is situated.

The Saxons called the place SNOTTINGHA –HAM or “place of caverns.”  The present name is only a slight modification from the primitive tongue.

 

To quote directly from the Topographical Dictionary “The staple manufactures are silk and cotton stockings, bobbin-net and lace, which afford employment to nearly 40 000 persons in the town and its environs … For its present (1840) prosperity Nottingham is greatly indebted to science for the improvement lately made in the machinery employed in the national industry which has given this town a decided superiority.  The machines for making bobbin-net and lace are exceedingly expensive and being therefore beyond the purchase of the poor are let out to them at a weekly rent.”

 

A recent 1960 geographer describes Nottingham as “an important industrial and rail center with lace, hosiery, textiles, tobacco, brewing, bicycles, drugs, shoes, leather goods, motorcycles, railroad and electrical equipment, coal and clay products.  The University and colleges were founded in the 9th century.  This is the scene of the legendary Robin Hood and the Sherwood Forest is nearby.”

 

1818                               It was in December of this year in the Austrian Alps that a village priest wrote the words to the lovely Christmas carol “Silent Night, Holy Night.”

1825                               Great commercial panic in England.

1830 March                     Joseph Smith Jun. published 3,000 copies of the Book of Mormon in New York State, U.S.A.

1830 April                       The Mormon Church is organized at Fayette, New York and moves to Kirtland, Ohio, Independence and Far West, Missouri and to Nauvoo, Illinois by 1840 as it grows and increases in membership.

1832                               Slavery ceases in all British colonies.

1838                               Queen Victoria coronated.

1840                               L.D. S. missionaries are sent to the British Isles to preach the Gospel.

1842                               On the 24th of October William Hubbard Winterton 1816-1890 married Sarah Marriott 1824-1902.  They were parents of eight children born at Nottinghamshire, England.

 

The birthplace of John and William Winterton has been listed as Carlton, England on all the family group sheets and other records that have come to my attention.  The William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton family undoubtedly made their home there rather than in the City of Nottingham.  Possibly they may have moved back and forth, but I think that unlikely.

 

The statement that they walked three miles to attend the L.D.S. Church services coincides with the distance between Carlton and Nottingham.  For a description of this home community of William Hubbard Winterton’’s I turned to the 1840--4th edition of “Lewis Topographical Dictionary of England” page 464 and found that: “Carlton is a hamlet in the parish of Gelding union of Brasford, Southern division of the Wapentake of Thurgarton and of the County of Nottingham, 3 miles east northeast from the City of Nottingham. At that time (1840) it contained 1,704 inhabitants living in an extensive area.  Its chief employment and industry is the making of hosiery and lace.”

 

1842                               This was the year 26, 000 people were massacred in British India.

1844                               On the 16th of May, John Marriott Winterton was born the first child of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton of Carlton, Nottingham, England at the age of 19 he was destined to emigrate to Utah crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a sailing vessel and the plains of North America on foot and as an oxtearn driver.

1844                               This year saw great growth, during the early months, in the Mormon City of Nauvoo, the temple was being built.  The Nauvoo Legion drilled faithfully, Joseph Smith Jun. was a candidate for President of the United States, emissaries of the Church were investigating new areas where colonies might be established when there were too many people for Nauvoo.  Many converts were being added to the membership by missionaries in England and other foreign nations.

 

No tolerance could be shown to a small group of dissenters who dared set up a printing shop in Nauvoo and publish statements contrary to Joseph’s beliefs and without his approval!  It was destroyed immediately.  But the non-Mormon people of the surrounding community thought Joseph Smith Jun. had too much power and not enough respect for the laws of the State of Illinois and the United States.  He was arrested and while in the Carthage jail waiting trial was assassinated by a mob.  Brigham Young took charge of the evacuation westward which soon followed and Nauvoo became a ghost city.

 

A number of events which had a later significant bearing on the lives of the Winterton family took place in 1846.  On 25 April 1846 the first shot of the Mexican war was fired at Rosia, Mexico and when the war was over and the Peace treaty of Guadolupe Hidalgo signed on 10 May 1848, Utah ceased to be a Mexican Province and became United States Territory -- Brigham Young and the Mormon Colony were again subject to the laws of the United States.

 

15 June 1846                   the United States and Great Britain signed a treaty dividing the Oregon Territory peaceably, at the 49th Parallel.

5 July 1846                      California declared its independence from Mexico and later as did Texas, joined the United States.

6 May 1846                     In Nottingham, England, William Winterton, son of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton, was born.  He was the third Winterton destined to immigrate to Utah in 1863.

10 Sept. 1846                  Elias Howe Jr. obtained the United States patent on his sewing machine and in 1851 Isaac Singer patented the rocking treadle type sewing machine.  Can you even begin to guess how many items of clothing the Winterton family womenfolk have made on these machines to be worn by all members and descendants of the Winterton Pioneers of Utah?

1847                               The first Wagon train of Mormon Pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847 following the Wagon tracks of the previous year’s ill-fated Donner Party.  It was only four days later July 28, 1847 that President Brigham Young chose the Great Salt Lake City site of the LDS Temple.

1847                               On May 18th a baby boy was born to William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton at Nottingham (Carlton) England.  Before he died the next day he was hastily named John.

24 Jan. 1848                    James W. Marshall found gold at Sutter s Mill --now Sacramento, California -- and the next year 1849 saw the famous California Gold Rush which gave extra impetus to the western movement.

1849                               the year that Ann Winterton, daughter of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton, was born at Carlton, Nottinghamshire, England on the 11th  of September.  Ann was to emigrate in the year 1869 when she was twenty, arriving in Utah on the new transcontinental railroad.

1849-1851                       As soon as the Mormon Pioneers reached Utah they held many important meetings.  On March 10, 1849 the Constitution of State of Deseret was adopted.  On July 2, 1849 the first meeting of the Assembly of the State of Deseret was held.  On Feb. 28, 1850 the Univ. of Deseret was founded.  On March 13, 1850 Univ. Regents selected the Campus of Deseret Univ. on the East Bench, some 500 acres now occupied by the Univ. of Utah.  On Sept. 9, 1850 Utah was granted Territorial Government.  On Sept. 22, 1851 the first meeting of the Territorial legislature was in session.  On Oct. 4, 1851 the Utah Legislature adopted all the laws of the Provisional State of Deseret.

1850                               John Hubbard Winterton and his wife Sarah Marriott Winterton and their two oldest sons become L.D.S. converts and soon began to dream and plan of the time they might go to Zion in North America and join the other Saints there in worship and in living the new gospel.  Many things happened during the years that were to elapse between their conversion and their arrival in Zion.  They became the parents of eight children, three of whom died in infancy, and the new church that they had joined made many new converts and established its headquarters in Utah in the Great Salt Lake City.

 

When missionaries (without purse or script) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints appeared in the British Isles in the 1840-1850 decade and at the Winterton family home in Carlton, Nottinghamshire, England, they undoubtedly told of the prophecy that had been received by Joseph Smith in North America. They surely related the account of the Angel Moroni appearing to him some 30 years prior on the night of September 21, 1823 in New York State and in North America. Saying that soon afterwards men would dream dreams and see visions and there would come wonderful things upon the earth such as mankind had never before seen. The Bible verses at Joel Chapter 2 Verses 28-32 were said to have been the text of this message:

“And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance as the Lord hath said and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.”

 

What were some of these “wonderful things”? must have been the question asked by our Winterton great grandparents.  The mechanical reaper patented in America twenty years before in 1831 would be one of the answers: A marvelous device that ended 5000 or so years of cutting grain with a hand scythe or sickle.  And of perhaps even more interest to the Winterton womenfolk was the miraculous device that put a needle and thread in a machine and eliminated the drudgery of hand sewing every garment the family needed.  Then both men and women were now in the 1850 decade taking advantage of the steam powered railroad passenger and freight service the slower oxcart and even the horse-drawn stage coach was being displaced by a mechanical horse capable of  achieving previously undreamed of speeds.  Had they also heard of the new way of sending messages?  Words were put in a code and tapped out and sent by wires to people many miles away in just minutes -- the wonders of telegraphy was no longer a dream.  Had they heard that natural gas had been used for illumination in Fredonia N.Y. on January 29, 1826?

 

Why hesitate?  Here was proof that the messages received by the prophet Joseph Smith were indeed inspired revelations from heavenly Messengers.  The prophecies and the dreams and the visions actually came true.  And still more were to come for God was pouring out his spirit to give men the inspiration to change their lives not only in the use of these material things but also in spiritual matters as well.  The William Hubbard Winterton family believed and were baptised and sought to follow the LDS gospel teachings.

 

They and their descendants have seen the dreams and visions of men continue to come true with God’s blessings for over a Century despite several world-wide wars, earthquakes, famine and pestilence on various parts of the globe.  They have seen the chain reaction which followed those early beginnings just named.  They have seen photography, telephone, electricity, the automobile, airplane, radio, television, atomic power, yes even missiles and space vehicles have been seen orbiting the earth in minutes.

 

Whether the Mormon missionaries and the Winterton family in Nottingham discussed other recent events on the North American Continent we can only conjecture.  Did they talk about the Lewis and Clark expedition that left the Pacific Coast shore line near the Mouth of the Columbia River in March of 1806 to return to the young nation1s Capitol with a report of their strange findings in the previously unexplored western half of a continent?  Did they talk of the fighting in Texas and the massacre at the Alamo on 6 March 1836?

 

Were they aware of the time that it took to communicate between the Atlantic and Pacific coast areas of North America?  An example is the anecdote told concerning Richard Henry Dana, a seaman and author of the popular book “Two Years Before the Mast”, who sent a message from Monterey, California, via horseback to Vera Cruz, Mexico, from there by boat to Boston, Massachusetts, where it was received by the middle of March 1836 in only ten weeks elapsed time!  It was the fastest recorded transcontinental communication in history of North America up to that time!

 

Perhaps the most overpowering prospect or promise that influenced our Winterton ancestors back there in the 1850 decade was the thought that the Bible verse at Deuteronomy 7: 6 was meant for them. It reads:

“For thou art an Holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth”

 

The Mormon missionaries surely explained that Moses had visited Joseph Smith only a few years before, in 1836, and commissioned him to “gather Israel from the four parts of the earth.”  They must have believed, for a powerful urge came over them. It was irresistible for they were willing --even anxious -- to sever family ties, to leave acquaintances and familiar places, to leave the community where their families had lived for generations.  They must join that main body of Saints at Nauvoo and later at Salt Lake.  How many times did they read those wonderful Bible verses ascribed to Jeremiah over 2500 years ago?  The 31st chapter 6th-14th verse reads:

“For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.  For thus saith the Lord; sing with Gladness for Jacob, and Shout among the chief of the nations; publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.  Behold, I will bring them from the North Country (surely this meant England), and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaleth with child together; A great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, (the Wintertons walked hundreds of miles westward along the Platte River) wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.  Hear the word of the Lord, O Ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, he that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.  For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.  Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion (Salt Lake City, Utah is almost a mile above sea level), and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.  Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy and will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And I will satiate the soul  of the priests with fatness and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.”

 

The Winterton Pioneers were privileged to live out their life span and see many of the prophecies of Isaiah literally unfold before their own eyes and the eyes of their children in far greater profusion than the missionaries had ever suggested.  Surely the dreams and visions of those ancient prophets were inspired of a kind and loving Father in Heaven.  Did not the desert wilderness yield to their efforts and husbandship and “Blossom as the Rose” as foretold in Isaiah 35:1?

 

1851                               On the 4th of September Thomas Winterton, son of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton, was born at Nottingham.  He was destined to come to Utah 18 years later on the railroad instead of by the covered wagon train as his father and brothers did six years earlier.

1849- 1854                      According to Vol. 20 (1952) of the Utah Historical Quarterly, The Perpetual Emigration Fund was founded by the Mormon Church in 1849.  All or part of European emigrants expenses could be paid by the fund with the understanding that those so benefited would reimburse the society as soon as they were able.  By 1854 it is reported that 6800 pounds had been used to emigrate 1700 people. After 1853 a plan was developed where Mormons with limited funds could pay 13 pounds at Liverpool and receive transportation to Salt Lake. A publication which William Hubbard and Sarah Winterton very likely read carefully and joyously was distributed in Great Britain during the 1850 decade. It read:

“The channel of Saints Emigration to the Land of Zion is now opened.  The long wished for time of Gathering has come.  Good Tidings from Mt. Zion!  The resting place of Israel for the last days has been discovered.

 

By December 1860 over 29,000 Mormon converts had sailed from England and the Wintertons -- father and two sons -- were soon to swell the growing number!

 

While the Forty-niners pushed through Utah on their way to the California gold fields they traded much of their merchandise to the people in the early Mormon settlements for livestock and farm crops.  This increased encroachment of the whites displaced the Ute Indians from their accustomed hunting trails, their favorite fishing places and their special pasture grounds.  Then in 1852 the new Utah territorial legislature outlawed the Indian slave trade with the Mexican silver mines and ranches.  This and perhaps other fancied or real grievances against the whites led to the Utah Indian wars; the Walker War of 1853-54, Tintic War 1856 and the longer Black Hawk War of 1865-68 in which John and William Winterton participated.

 

1853                               On 26 of December 1853 a baby was born to William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton at Nottingham, England; it lived only a few minutes and died before being named.

1854                               The Crimean War began.

1855                               On 30 December Hyrum Winterton was born. This child of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton lived less than four weeks. He died 24 Jan. 1856.  Britain in war with China.

 

Originally, Utah includes much more territory than her present boundaries which were fixed when she became a state sixty-eight years ago.

  Utah Territory 1856


The Provisional State of Deseret (“Deseret” a Book of Mormon word meaning “honey bee” and symbolizing industry) included in addition to present day Utah: parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and even a few miles of Southern California seacoast.  Various acts of the U. S. Congress reduced these far flung areas to the present boundaries.

 

In addition to its present 29 counties, Utah also had ten other counties mostly in the 1850 decade: St. Marys, Humbolt, Rio Virgin, Green River, Shambip, Greasewood, Cedar, Little Salt Lake, Carson and Desert.  The early day map of Utah on an adjoining page show some of these pioneer county boundaries.

 

14 May 1856                   the first camels were imported to travel the South West deserts with burdens of freight for the mines, army and coast areas.

16 Sept. 1856                  The Mountain Meadow Massacre of 120 California immigrants occurred near St. George, Utah.

1857                               On the 13th of February 1857 the eighth child of William Hubbard Winterton and Sarah Marriott was born.  Their second daughter was named Sarah.  E. G. Otis installed the first practical elevator for passenger service in New York City.

1857-58                          The Winterton family was still in England when the so-called “Utah War” caused some 30,000 Mormons to be evacuated from the Salt Lake Valley before Johnston’s Army marched through to establish camp Floyd in Cedar Valley a few miles west of Lehi.  The Army remained until 1861 buying food and supplies at good prices and hiring many of the local workers. Then when they left, their surplus supplies and equipment, most of which had been freighted west from the Mississippi at considerable cost, were sold to the Mormon settlers at a few cents on the dollar.

15 Sept. 1858                  the first of the Butterfield overland Mail Stage coaches began its 24 day 2800 mile journey between St. Louis, Missouri and San Francisco, California.

11 June 1859                   the famous Com stock Silver Lode was discovered in Nevada about that same time across the continent at Titusville, Pennsylvania America’s first oil well was brought in and at Chicago a cabinetmaker named Pullman converted a railroad coach into a bedroom on wheels to eventually change the travel habits of the nation.

1859                               the year that the Charlestown area saw the temporary camp of surveyors Charles Shelton and Alex Wilkins of Provo as they made field notes concerning the topography of the Upper Provo River and Wasatch Valley area.  This was also the year that the first known crops were planted by white men -- a small acreage of grain that was entirely lost to heavy frost.  The land claims were made by George Noakes, William and Freeman Manning.

1860                               Saw the first crude log cabin and some corrals built near where the town of Charleston is now situated.  More settlers came with their families and livestock and successfully harvested crops of grain and hay.

15 April 1861                  President Abraham Lincoln declared a state of Civil War which was to continue for four years during which time the three Wintertons came to Utah.  Also in 1861 on the 22nd day of May the much publicized Pony Express was regularly inaugurated between Denver and California Gulch; and on the 24th of October the telegraph line was completed across the Continent and joined the two American continental coast lines, the Atlantic and Pacific.  Another first for the years.

1862                               a detachment of Federal troops under Col. Connor founded Fort Douglas at the mouth of Emigration Canyon on the Salt Lake East Bench.  Lacking other assignments his troops were encouraged to prospect in the surrounding hills for minerals, and were largely responsible for the later mining boom.

1862                               Mormon Church authorities in Great Salt Lake City sent a message:

To all the Saints in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and adjacent countries we say: ‘emigrate as speedily as possible … bring with you all kinds of choice seeds … of grain, vegetables, fruit, shrubbery and trees to cheer the soul of man; also the best tools of every description … and machinery for spinning, weaving, dressing cotton, wool, flax and silk, etc … or models and descriptions of the same by which you can construct them … such as corn shellers, grain threshers and cleaners … smut machines, mills and every implement and article within your knowledge that shall tend to promote the comfort, health, happiness and prosperity of any people.

 

1862                               The homesteading of land along the Provo River in the Wasatch Valley was opened by the government this year.

1862                               Early in this year (January or February) the Utah Territorial Legislature created Wasatch County out of portions of Salt Lake and Utah County. About 1000 persons were then residing in the new area which included Charleston.

3 March 1862                  The first county road was established in Wasatch County starting southwest of Charleston and running in a North-Westerly direction following the old immigrant trail terminating at Ross Summit (Hailstone) on the Northern County boundary.

1863                               This was the year of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and his Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves.

1863                               It was in 1863 that their long cherished dream became a reality and the three Wintertons were aboard the sailing vessel “John J. Boyd” in the Liverpool, England harbor and with other Mormon converts on their way to Zion in the Valleys of the Mountains of North America.

1864                               The Great Salt Lake of the intermountain United States has been described as a remnant puddle of the once enormous Lake Bonneville.  Fresh water Utah Lake some forty miles to the south is another fossil remnant of geological time with drainage into the lower elevation to the north where evaporation effects a super saturation of all the minerals carried down from the surrounding higher elevations.

 

Before ancient Lake Bonneville found an outlet through Red Rock Pass in Northern Cache Valley and escaped via the Snake and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific Ocean, it covered much of the area that has been called the Great Basin.  It was about 350 miles in length and 150 miles wide and over a thousand feet deep in some places.  Its terraces are still to be seen along the western slope of the Wasatch Mountains.

 

The Great Basin, and Utah in particular, has about 97 acres of wasteland to every three that are tillable.  The small habitable valleys are isolated between interminable strings of arid, barren rocky mountains and sandy dry wastelands where even sagebrush has a hard time to live and where now (1963) salt flats provide the land areas needed for “Bombing Range Sites” and “Race Car Speed Trials.”

 

The Great Basin --The Zion of the Winterton and other Latter-day Saints in 1863 -- the Valleys in the Tops of the Mountains -- was formed by what geologists call the Cascade Disturbance.  It created the Wasatch and Rocky Mountains and lifted the Plateau area of Southeastern Utah many hundreds of feet above sea level.  This rock wasteland is a terrible and at the same time beautiful spectrum of color -- immense, lonely and empty -- changing each hour as light and shadow vary with the earth’s rotation.

 

The thousands of feet of rock buckled into the air is sculptured by sandblast and wind and an infrequent gully washing thunder shower.  Its hundreds of miles of meandering cliffs are carved and broken and split by deep narrow canyons -- too wide to jump across and too long to go around -- even scientific engineering investigation and survey have found only a very few places for highway and railroad to cross the Colorado River and traverse the Southeastern Utah area.

 

This is the area that Brigham Young hoped no one would want and that Daniel Webster orated against adding to the U.S.  This was the Mormons’ sanctuary, this was the refuge from the sinful world, this was Zion in the tops of the mountains.  This was the country that our Winterton ancestors immigrated to one hundred years ago.

 

John Winterton, William Winterton, George Noakes, (John’s future father-in-law) John Eldrige, David Walker, George Giles, Joe Taylor, Stan Davis, Joe Bagley, Finity Daybell, Manuel Richman, George Simmons, Ether Davies, Joe Nelson, Isaac Brown, Dave Young and Eli Gordon were among the first to file on the land.

1866                               On 27 July 1866 the first submarine telegraph cable was laid across the Atlantic joining the U.S. with Europe in a new and faster means of communication.  This same year in September the first keyopening tin cans were patented in the U.S.A. and expedited the storage of foodstuffs and facilitated ready access to their contents.  This was the year of the Utah Black Hawk Indian War with the Winterton brothers participating.  As the Indian trouble subsided the families moved back to the lands around Charleston and cared for crops and cattle continuing to build their homes and farms.

1869                               Copper outcroppings had been discovered by the Bingham brothers in 1850 in the Oquirrah mountains on the southwest side of the Salt Lake Valley.  Iron mining and smelting had been tried near Cedar City as early as 1852-53 and lead mining and smelting in Beaver County in 1858.  But it was not until the coming of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 that large scale mineral development took place which was to furnish employment to many of the pioneers’ descendants.

 

The Silver Lead-Zinc Deposits were discovered at Park City in 1869 and these were in particular only a couple of hours horseback ride over the hill from Midway and charleston a ready market appeared there for farm produce raised in Wasatch County and hauled via team-and wagon within a one-day trip.

 

Tom and Ann Winterton emigrate from Nottingham to Utah.

 

Other 1869 mineral (Silver-Lead-Zinc-Gold) discoveries were at Eureka, Utah, The Tintic District and at Mercur and Ophir.  The 1870’s saw the fabulous Silver Reef west of St. George, Utah and the Horn Silver at Frisco in Millard County.

 

Coal was discovered in Carbon County (about this same time).  A colony had settled at Price in Carbon county as early as 1858.  It was greatly strengthened in 1877 and subsequently.

 

A group of American women formed the National Woman Suffrage Association in the year 1869 with the avowed purpose of securing the ballot for women by amending the United States Constitution but, for the next few years, the Winterton women in Utah -- Elizabeth, Ann, Emma and Ellen -- were more concerned with the day to day struggle for bread and clothing and the care of their little ones and husbands.

1963                               Today -- 100 years after William Hubbard and his sons John and William Winterton arrived in Utah -- your guess is as good as mine, but I would venture to say that the descendants of the Winterton Pioneers own (in partnership with the finance companies) over 1,000 autos with television sets, radios, electrical appliances and other modern conveniences in the same profusion.

 

Would not the people of the 1850’s have considered these “wonderful things” beyond the reach of the most vivid human imagination, inspiration or dream?  And yet we who have lived in the 20th Century have experienced even more wonders, such as around the world airplane flights and more recently manned orbital space missiles circling the globe in a matter of minutes and more than a dozen times a day.

 

Some thirty years after Joseph Smith was reportedly visited by Moses and commissioned to gather Israel from the four parts of the world we find the three members of the Pioneer Winterton family in Salt Lake City in 1864 with some fifty or sixty thousand others, singing from the heights of Zion “just as Jeremiah had prophesied at the 31st Chapter and 12th Bible verse.”

 

Did not the missionary preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from America point to the 7th verse of the same chapter for their message text “Shout among the chief of the nations, publish ye, praise ye, and say O’ Lord save my people the remnant of Israel”?  Yes Great Britain was one of the World’s Chief nations in the 1840 decade and the Wintertons wanted to be God’s people.

 

The 8th verse reads “Behold I will bring them from the North Country … and a great Company shall return thither.”  The William Hubbard Winterton Family was in the great Company that gathered at Utah and at the Temple in the Great Salt Lake City.  Certainly they must have been of Ephriam’s branch of the House of Israel for they answered the call to “Gather to Zion” in the Rocky mountains.

 

Verse 9 “They shall come with weeping and supplications” …Recall with me those terrible days at Nauvoo in 1844 the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum Smith.  Then in 1846 the forced evacuation of the saints from their homes and escape from the violent mobs across the February ice on the frozen Mississippi River, nomadic wandering until they

could cross the plains.  Certainly there was hardships, hunger and privation, prayer, humbleness and weeping -- yes much sorrow but happiness too in reaching the valley.

 

Verse 9 continues “I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble.”  They walked father and two sons of the Winterton family much of the 600 miles westward along the North Platte River and into the Rocky Mountains.

 

Verse 12 … “And they shall not sorrow any more … for the wheat and wine and oil … and water (and verse 13) … will satiate the soul … and my people shall be satisfied.”   The Wintertons planted crops and harvested them; they raised cattle; they planted trees and ate their fruit and sat in their shade.  They built homes and married and lived in the homes and reared children and worshiped in the new land.  The Winterton Pioneers were fed full with blessings and testified of their gratitude for that fact in many public meetings. 

 

Isaiah many thousands of years ago foresaw that God would do a “new thing.”  Let us read again the 43rd chapter of Isaiah 19th and 20th verse “I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.  There was a “way” made in the wilderness -- a new way of living and farming.  Were not the first Utah pioneers inspired to irrigate their late crops?  And did not each group that pushed forward the frontiers create rivers of water across the dry dusty desert?  Yes the irrigation ditches across the parched wilderness were rivers in the desert -- a new thing for the Winterton pioneers from textile mills of Nottingham.

 

The 41st Chapter and 18th verse reads “I will open rivers in high places and fountains in the midst of valleys I will make a pool of water in the wilderness and springs of water in the dry land.”  What an apt and correct description of the Utah irrigation systems built by the pioneers and their descendants.  Picture the gates of the 6000 foot elevation mountain valley reservoirs being raised on a hot summer day and the impounded waters from melting mountain snow and ice rushing downstream.  What are these but “Rivers in High Places”?

 

Have you ever seen an artesian well drilled in the valley floor going down through dry earth, sand rock etc?  Then the water gushing up and soaking the parched land so that seed and plants and trees soon flourished.  What are these but “fountains in the valley”?  Yes the pioneers certainly created pools of water in the Utah wilderness and springs of water in the dry land of many counties of the intermountain west.  A census of irrigation conducted in 1959 by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce’s Bureau of Census reports that 3,000,000 acre feet of irrigation water was delivered to 43,000 Utah farms that year.

 

Surely the Utah desert places in the wilderness have blossomed like a rose as  a result of the work of the pioneer Wintertons, their descendants and contemporary Latter-day “Israelite” pioneers from many chief Nations.

The name of William Hubbard Winterton did not come to my attention until the latter part of the 1950 decade.  When Viola and I married in 1933 I knew her mother’s maiden name was Isabella Winterton and rather vaguely that her grandfather, dead for some twenty years at that time, was named John Winterton.  I am sure that her great grandfather’s name was not in our conversations then or for quite some time later.

 

While visiting some cousins late in the 1950 decade, we were shown a partially completed progenitor’s chart with his name among other ancestors. The story of his two sons being early converts and among the pioneer arrivals to Utah and in particular at Charleston in Wasatch County was clear. But less was known about great grandfather William Hubbard Winterton’s activities.

 

The book “Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah” written some fifty years ago by Frank Essholm was found to contain on page #1256 a brief biographical statement indicating that great grandfather was a convert in 1850 of the Mormon missionaries and had served as a home missionary and teacher in England; that after coming to Utah in 1863 he obtained employment as a Tollgate Keeper in Parley’s Canyon and died in Salt Lake City in 1890.

 

The Salt Lake Genealogical Society’s Library supplied some more research material in the form of cemetery records. They would show the exact date of death or burial. The microfilmed index encouraged me to look further; it showed great grandfather had purchased by deed #991 (register A44) grave space in Plot B, Block 9 in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.

 

Looking further in the Salt Lake Cemetery Records (handwritten entries preserved on microfilm tape), I discovered the entry #10055 “buried Elizabeth Hughes Winter ton, wife of William Hubbard Winterton, died 19 September 1889, in Platt B lot 9.”  Their residence and church membership was shown as in the 21st Ward in Salt Lake City.

 

Six months later the same record shows William Hubbard Winterton died and was buried at the same place.  His entry is #1442 and shows the exact date of death as 16 March 1890.  A book on the shelves of this same reference library (catalogue # Utah S3) records on page #1615 about the same information.  Also that Elizabeth Hughes Winterton (wife of “Wm. H.”) was born in England 30 August 1817 and that “Wm. H.” was seventy-three years old when he died.

 

Recently I was privileged to become acquainted with and to read Hyrum Shurtliff Winterton’s memoirs and history of his father’s family.  His account of the family’s trip to Salt Lake City and his recollections of a visit to his grandfather which occurred some seventy years ago is excellent reading.  The small boy, his two brothers, and possibly his sister, too, were caught raiding their grandpa’s strawberry patch with dire results.  Possibly the old gentleman didn’t mind the young uns eating a few of the nice ripe berries, but he sure hated to see the whole patch tramped over, the green berries mashed and the new runners bruised so bad they wouldn’t take root!

 

“Aunt Bessie” had a kind word and listened attentively when the small boy told of the wonderful and exciting sights he had seen on the trip from Charleston -- a real honest to goodness steam engine and a long train of freight cars -- and those high wheeled bicycles the big boys and men rode about the streets of the City -- why didn’t they tip over?  He had never before seen such strange things; it wasn’t a bit like the farm life of the 1880s that he was used to up in Charleston.

 

Hyrum’s account indicates that great grandfather William Hubbard Winterton never returned the visit.  For that matter he never was in Wasatch County before or after his son William and family made their visit in 1883. That was apparently the last time they saw each other for seven years later both he and “Aunt Bessie” were dead.

 

The Ward Records of the Salt Lake City 21st Ward of the LDS Church were my next source of biographical information.  They reported that great grandfather William Hubbard Winterton was first baptized by LDS Missionary W. Clayton and confirmed by W. Brewerton on 6 Jan 1850 in Nottinghamshire, England.  He was re-baptized in Great Salt Lake City, Utah Territory of the United States of America on 26 Nov 1864 by R. Ramsey and reconfirmed 27 Nov 1864 by John Hall.  He married Elizabeth Hughes on 17 December 1864 in Salt Lake City.

 

On 7 April 1851 Wm. H. was ordained a preacher by T. W. Brewerton.  On 5 June 1853. Wm. H. was ordained a priest.  Elizabeth Hughes Winterton’s entry on the 21st Ward microfilm record shows she was re-baptized about 1866 by Bishop John Sharp (in Salt Lake City) and that her parents were Joseph and Elizabeth Hughes.  The spaces to show from which ward they had been received were blank.  She was born in England and emigrated to Utah in 1856.

 

Elizabeth Hughes sailed from England to America on the vessel “Samuel Cowling” embarking 19 April 1856 according to the Emigration Card Catalog in the LDS Genealogical Library in Salt Lake City.  She crossed the plains in “Bunkers” Company leaving Council Bluffs (or Florence, Iowa) on 23 June 1856.  Apparently Elizabeth Hughes unmarried at age 38 had insufficient funds or resources to make the journey.  As an LDS Convert, she applied for and received help from the Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company. She was still indebted to this Fund some 21 years later as a book published in 1877 by the “Star Book & Job Publishing Company” of Salt Lake City lists her name.  The list of “Persons and Sureties indebted to the Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company from 1850 to 1877 Inclusive” is authorized by that company’s officers: President Albert Carrington, Secretary Robert R. Anderson and Treasurer Edward Hunter.

 

No Winterton name is found in this list, which indicates that William Hubbard, John M., William, Thomas and Ann Winterton’ s emigration fares and expenses were paid for in cash or if they received an advance from the Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company the amount had been repaid in full before 1877.  The names of five Widdison girls, all friends and neighbors of the Wintertons, Sarah J., Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Eliza A. and Ellen, were on the 1877 list.

 

The Salt Lake City 21st Ward, now of the Ensign Stake, was organized 5 July 1877 and detached from the 20th Ward which in turn had been organized in 1856 to include all who lived north and east of “A” Street and South Temple Street in the Salt Lake Stake of Zion. The 21st Ward boundaries were west “H” Street, east “M” Street, north 7th Ave. and south South Temple Street.  It appears that they had been members of the 20th Ward before the transfer in 1877, but I did not find their names when I viewed that microfilm tape, probably because it was faded and partly illegible.

 

Great grandfather William Hubbard Winterton worked as a Tollgate Keeper in Parley’s Canyon.  On Page 194 of Heart Throbs of the West by Mrs. Kate B. Carter, published in 1939 by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers we read:

“From the very beginning of the settlement of Utah it was the people who paid for the improvement and construction of the roads they used.  The first travelers of course built their own roads.  Where ever the wagons could not be pulled across the desert lands, they unhitched their oxen from the wagons, unloaded a plow or scraper and went to work.  On hillsides they often no more than plowed a furrow for the uphill wheels of the wagon to roll in.

 

“Then as settlements were made and efforts made to improve and make the roads more passable, a road tax was charged for everyone who used that particular section of road.  These were called toll roads to distinguish them from the trails where no charge was made.”

 

Perhaps the earliest of these Tollroads of importance and interest to .the pioneers of the Great Salt Lake Valley or the State of Deseret was that built by Parley P. Pratt (a cousin of my great grandmother Jemima VanCott  Ambler).  He and his associates spent the summer of 1850 improving the road in Big Canyon Creek.  Because of this work the canyon soon became known as Parley’s Canyon, which name has continued over 100 years down to our day.  It has been said that he expended about $2,000 in this work and that he collected $1,500 in tolls that year of 1850.

 

The road down Parley’s Canyon is now U.S. Highway #40 and one of the main east-west routes through the Rocky Mountains.  It was originally known as the “Golden Pass” Toll Road.  On 29 June 1850 Parley P. Pratt advertised in Utah as follows:

“Travellers between this state and California are respectfully informed the new road will be opened by July 4th avoiding the two great mountains and most of the canyons so troublesome on the old route.  The road is somewhat rough and unfinished but is being made better every day.  Several thousand are already expended by the proprietor who only solicits the patronage of the public at the moderate rate of fifty cents for a conveyance drawn by one animal, 75¢ for a conveyance drawn by two animals and ten cents for each additional animal.”

 

Sheep could be driven or hauled on the Golden Pass Toll Road through Parley’s Canyon in 1850 for only one cent each!

 

Several years later after Utah became a territory, the legislature passed an act empowering the road commissioner to locate a state road in this same general area and to erect a tollgate so that no one could use the Parley’s Canyon road without passing through the gate in order that taxes or tolls could be collected to reimburse for the cost of improvements, maintenance and road repair.

 

The toll was to continue in effect until all costs were refunded. The rates established at that time were as follows: wagon and two animals (hauling wood, timber, coal, rock, lime, etc., 25¢; wagon and four animals hauling wood, timber, coal, rock, lime, etc. , 37½ ¢; wagon and buggy, two animals and passengers, $1.00; wagon and buggy, four animals and passengers, $1.50; loose animals, l0¢.

 

A report made March 1948 to President Brigham Young at Winter Quarters tells of the efforts to build bridges and roads over Mill Creek and Jordan River: “ … our pathmaster is instructed to call men and repair the roads as fast as is consistent with other duties.  We tried to have them built by the “Hundreds” but had to abandon the idea and try a direct poll tax on polls and property … estimates are being made by the pathmaster and the people are satisfied the labor tax will bear equal … and the bridges will be speedily built.” (A later estimate placed the cost of the first Jordan River bridge at $800.00.)

 

The Parley’s Canyon toll privileges and concurrent road maintenance responsibilities passed in 1855 to the Kimball and Associates group as Parley Pratt went to South America in response to a mission call.  The contract was for five years and extended to the Karnas Prairie from the mouth of Big Kanyon.  The problem seemed to be that the toll collected was not enough to pay for the cost of maintaining the road through the narrow canyon where each thundershower would cause new washouts.

 

The bridge across City Creek (used free by General Johnston’s army in the spring of 1857) was another toll affair.  The rates were reported to be one cent per person on foot, two cents if mounted or riding in a conveyance, three cents a head for animals and twenty-five cents for team and wagon. 

There was a Toll bridge built across the Jordan River in 1853 with a Mr. Zimmerman acting as toll collector.

 

There was a Toll Gate in Provo Canyon operated by Sam Pyne in 1876-77. The Provo Canyon charges were somewhat higher than in Salt Lake being $1.50 for a vehicle drawn by two animals and $2.50 if drawn by six animals. A horseback rider paid 15¢; sheep, goats and swine were 5 cents each; and horses, mules and cattle could be driven through for ten cents each.

 

It is likely that William Hubbard Winterton as an inexperienced immigrant first worked as a laborer on road construction that was sponsored by President Brigham Young and other Church authorities and probably sometime in 1865 or 66 secured the less physically demanding but certainly thankless position as road tax collector.  A Jan. 17, 1867 bill approved by the Utah legislature and signed by the Governor of the territory doubled the previous toll rates in an effort to improve the Parley’s Canyon road.

 

A Feb. 19, 1869 legislative enactment defined the duties of the Superintendent of the “Salt Lake City and Wanship Wagon Road” and divided the road into three sections with separate toll stations for each section.  It may be that with the increased number of toll stations in Parley’s Canyon William H. Winterton was hired and first collected tolls that year. The early impetus for good roads quickly ended with the joining of rails at Promontory that same year as the railroads were much more efficient movers of the longhaul freight and passenger Loads.

 

Did William H. own a saddle horse and ride from his home on the Avenues in the 20th (later 21st) Ward to the tollgate site in Parley’s Canyon each morning and night?  Or did he stay in the Canyon all week and only come home for Sunday worship service?  Or did he and Bessie both live in a canyon cabin near the tollgate for the first ten or twelve years of their marriage?  Perhaps they did not move to the avenue home until after his retirement!  No one seems to know many of these details except that he was still working as a tollgate keeper in 1869 when Ann and Tom arrived in Utah.

 

During the 1870 and 1880 decades many toll stations were unattended during the winter months and only sporadically at other times because there just wasn’t enough traffic to pay the tollgate keepers wages let alone collect any revenue for road building and repair.  My guess is that great grandfather Winterton and “Aunt” Bessie had a rather meager livelihood at best.

 

Great grandfather William Hubbard Winterton arrived at his Zion in the Tops of the Mountains and in The Valley of the Great Salt Lake early in September 1863 -- 100 years ago.  The Murdock Company brought the hundreds of emigrants over the route from the Black Hills country to the Mormon Church Headquarters some four weeks quicker than did the Wells-Fargo Freight Wagon train that young John and William Winterton had attached themselves to.  In fact it was Conference time in October when their slow moving ox teams lumbered through the streets of the Great Salt Lake City on the way to California.

 

What an experience those summer months of 1863 provided the forty-seven year old factory worker from Nottingham, England!  He was pleased, I feel certain, when he considered the events of those months that he had been fortunate enough to have been assigned to the J. R. Murdock Company.  Why, he was the most experienced and capable leader of all those who brought the teams and wagons from Utah to take the immigrants back across the plains.

 

Yes! before the railroad was completed in 1869 -- six years after great grandfather made the crossing -- this man Murdock had made eleven (or was it twelve?) round trips, perhaps more than any other Mormon wagon team driver.  They say that Haight made seven, Roundy five, Andrus, Duncan and probably others made three and … “there were scores of young fellows that made one or two trips for the new converts but Murdock made at least eleven and I was with him,” Wm. H. surely soliloquized.

 

It had been tiresome waiting there at Council Bluffs for the teams to come in from Utah, but all in all, the journey was well organized.  But why not? Wasn’t it the will of the Lord?  Wm. H. recalled of hearing the account told many times of how President Brigham Young had a revelation when the Mormons were evacuating Nauvoo (14 January 1847 The Word and Will of the Lord Concerning the Camp of Israel in their Journey to the West).  Each wagon train company was to have divisions of Hundreds, Fifties, and Tens with a Captain over each group.  A blacksmith and wagon maker with tools was assigned to each fifty wagons.  Then our company had a President and two Counselors, a Clerk and a Captain of the guard who were all sustained by a vote of all the emigrants before we ever left our camp at Council Bluffs.

 

That guard duty was hard for Wm. H.  He had never been on the prairie before, such strange noises and the stories he heard about the savages that lurked out there waiting for a straggler – man or beast.  What would he do if he were to actually encounter one?

 

“The Mormon Wagon Trains were fine examples of fairness but we were all required to do our share of the work.  If anyone neglected his assigned guard duty, he would be publicly rebuked for the first offense and the second time he would get extra duty herding the cattle.  No profanity was allowed, no card playing and if one was found being cruel to animals there was a heavy fine to pay.  Only a moderate use of the whip was permitted those who drove the teams,”  recalls one pioneer journal.

 

“Each wagon took its turn to lead off from the night’s camping grounds at 7:30 in the morning and the next day it would be last in line.  In that way everyone had a turn at eating the dust from all the other wagons.  We all had to be in our wagons by 9:00 P.M. except those on guard.  No one could leave camp without the Captain’s permission.  Everyone in camp attended regular prayer meetings.  Wagons and wagon wheels were inspected frequently on the trip and kept in repair and spokes tightened or soaked in water, relates another paragraph by the same writer.

 

Can we reconstruct great grandfather Wm. H‘s thoughts while on guard duty outside the elliptical coral of wagons linked together to prevent the animals from straying and to safeguard them from Indian attack or theft.  The animals have grazed during the late afternoon and evening, the company is probably 15 or 20 miles closer to their destination,  the cattle have been watered, the firewood has been gathered for evening and morning cooking, the food for the night meal has been eaten, prayers said, the Captain of the Guard has blown his horn and now I am responsible for the safety of all these people and all their possessions.

 

Wm. H. hears the lowing of oxen, the bleating of sheep, the neighing of horses near by and the howling of coyotes and wolves out over the prairies and on the distant hills or possibly an occasional bird.  Then there may be some quiet times broken only by the snore of some loud sleeper.  Thank goodness one half hour has passed and the #1 guard has cried “all is right. I must answer him in kind.  With such enchanting scenes so fresh in his mind it is no wonder that Wm. H. had feelings of praise, veneration and thanksgiving for the God of the Saints when he arrived in Great Salt Lake City.

 

The wagons at the start of the journey westward, generally, were each loaded with 1000 lbs. of flour, 50 lbs. of sugar, 50 lbs. of bacon, 50 lbs. of rice, 30 lbs. of beans, 25 lbs. of salt, 20 lbs. of dried fruit, a gallon of vinegar and a dozen bars of soap which was thought to be enough supplies for about eight or nine adults for the several months the trip would take.  The experienced drivers might be able to shoot deer or antelope or other wild animals on the trip to provide some fresh meat as extra food.

 

The few personal possessions and bedding of each of the Wintertons and other emigrants assigned to the wagon probably increased the load to about 2000 pounds which was a more reasonable load than the 2500-3000 pounds often piled on the commercial freight wagons.  The next year 1864 saw freight depots established by the Mormon Church along the route of travel. Several in Wyoming were three stories high and warehoused as much as 2,500 sacks of flour and 70,000 pounds of bacon with beans, dried apples and other miscellaneous supplies to replenish the emigrant wagons as they came by.

 

Then in 1869 most wagon train travel was abandoned in favor of the new Iron horse -- the steam-powered railroad locomotive and its long string of cars.  Wm. H. was glad that Ann and Tom obtained transportation to Salt Lake City on this wonderful new invention and did not have to tramp the long weary way across the plains as he and their brothers John and William had done six years before.

 

Great grandfather William Hubbard Winterton with sons John and William crossed the Atlantic Ocean in the sailing vessel “John J. Boyd” of 1400 tons registry and Capt. J. H. Thomas, Master.  They left the Liverpool, England harbor on 30 April 1863 bound for New York, U.S.A. where agents of the Church of Jesus Christ of  latter-day Saints provided them with rail transportation most of the way to Council Bluffs.  It was necessary to arrange a detour in 1863 through part of Southern Canada because the fighting between the Confederate and Union armies had disrupted rail travel in the southern Pennsylvania area that year.

 

The parting of the family had been a sad experience -- Sarah had clung tearfully to young Bill until the gangplank was being hoisted.  Would it have been better to have waited until they could all leave together?  Surely it would be best for her to come later when the three smaller children were older.  Why, little Sarah was only six years old, she couldn’t possibly make the trip across Ocean and Plains.

 

Wm. H. recalled their twenty-one years of marriage.  Of their eight children three had died and the others had worked from the time they were 5 or 6 years old and nothing to show for it.  They just had to take a chance that things would be better in America.  Thirteen years now since they had accepted the Gospel preached by the LDS Missionaries.  Other textile workers from Nottingham with no more worldly goods than they had traveled to Zion.

 

Thirteen years since their baptism.  Wm. H. was certain that he had learned to teach the new gospel as it had been explained to him by the preachers and missionaries from Great Salt Lake City.  But Sarah had so little time to study and listen to the explanations of some of the strange new doctrines.  She was so busy keeping up the home and caring for the children when she wasn’t at the factory -- actually when does she sleep? if ever?

 

Did William H. ever recall Sarah’s insistence that he plant and raise vegetables -- something useful and edible in the few square feet of soil connected with their living quarters instead of those ”useless flowers” he enjoyed.  Certainly Sarah was the practical one in the family who made their meager income -- probably not more than two or three dollars a week by modern rates of exchange in the equivalent of our money system -- that would be the earnings of the four of them in the 1850 decade with father, mother and two oldest sons working to bring home some 15-20 shillings a week at best.

 

She seemed particularly troubled about the doctrine of plural marriage.  It was rumored that Joseph Smith Jun. the Prophet had over fifty spiritual wives and Sarah heard other disquieting stories at the factory -- those busybodies.  Well she had agreed to wait a while until he could send for her and the three young ones.

 

It is not known when Sarah Marriott Winterton first learned of her husband’s plural marriage.  Did he plan such action before leaving England?  Did he write her before the ceremony?  Or did Ann and Tom first discover the fact when they arrived in Great Salt Lake City in 1869?  Sarah could never under stand it.

 

Despite offers by her children to send her fare for the trip to Utah both before and after her husband’s death (and the other wife’s death also) Sarah Marriott Winterton remained in England.  When young Sarah married Arthur Parker, it was soon evident that he spent too much time in the local pubs to support a family so Sarah helped her daughter and grandchildren until they, too, left for Utah.

 

Before her death in 1902 at the age of 77, Sarah knew her posterity numbered 33 grandchildren with great grandchildren in ever increasing number.  She also knew Mrs. Widdison had died in New York City while on her way to Utah.  If widow Ellen Stafford couldn’t live through the rigors of travel, she couldn’t either!  Did Sarah ponder the reasons why Jane and Elizabeth Widdison and their husbands had left Utah and the LDS Church to live in Nebraska and New York?

 

There are many unanswered questions about the life and beliefs of great grandmother Sarah Marriott Winterton. Of this we may be certain, she wanted her children to have the best opportunities available and made many sacrifices to assure their going to Zion and a better life in Utah, U.S.A. than had been her lot in the textile town of Nottingham, England.

 

While she could apparently not reconcile herself to her husband’s second marriage, she tried to avoid criticizing or embarrassing him.  To her sons’ offer of transportation and a home in Utah she replied “1 am afraid I could not stand the long trip and especially the voyage across the sea.”  Or was there in reality another reason why she stayed in England.  A man -- a better companion for her declining years than William Hubbard had been?  Family gossip, legend, or misunderstood remarks of their elders in council overhead by Winterton youth who should haw been outside playing indicate great grandmother Sarah may have decided (after learning of William H’s desertion and polygamy she called it -- the Mormons said it was the doctrine of Plural Marriage) that two could play the game.  Be that as it may my research failed to locate such a man’s name and many of the Winterton descendants vehemently denied such a rumor.

 

Perhaps she had heard accounts of the many hundreds, yes thousands, who had perished crossing the Atlantic in over-crowded vessels with insufficient food and water and disease infected passengers; and the uncounted numbers who were buried along the trail crossing the plains and mountains of North America on their way to Utah.  But I think it more likely that she was ready and willing to brave those dangers and risk her life to get to the Valley of Zion until she learned of her husband’s plural marriage.

 

Since Orson Pratt publicly announced that doctrine from the pulpit in Great Salt Lake City that day in 1852 and the press of the world had published stories for and against for a dozen years before her husband and two older sons left England, it would seem likely that Sarah and William Hubbard as marriage partners and as believers in the Revealed Gospel had discussed the subject.

 

It seems likely that Sarah had told her husband that the revelation Joseph Smith Jun. claimed to have received in 1843 and kept secret from the world was not for her.  She did not understand it and could not live what she didn’t understand.  Surely they had read together or heard the words of the strange document read aloud by someone with that much education.  Perhaps the song so many immigrants sang as they crossed the plains during the 1850s and 1860s did not inspire her !

 

The Emigrants Song

Ye Saints that dwell on Europe’s shore

Prepare yourselves with many more

To leave behind your native land

For God’s sure judgment is at hand.

 

Prepare to cross the stormy main

Before you to this valley gain

And with the faithful make a start

To walk across the plains with hand-cart.

 

Some must push and some must pull

As we go marching up the hill

As merrily on our way we go

Until we reach the Valley. Oh!

Carlton, Notts. April 29, 1855

Dear Brother

According to the correspondence of the Presidency of the British Isles Franklin I. Richards I set me down to pen a few lines to you.  If you can assist me to gain the desire of my heart. … (the next several sentences are illegible) … the building up of the kingdom on the earth and that my family may be away from this wickedness with which they are surrounded for youth gets worse and worse -- more corrupt continually.  If you can assist me or if you know of any who can, I should be thankful.  You know a little of me and Brother William Reville knows a little of me.  Give my respects to him if you ever see him also Bro. Grimshaw.  Tell them I am still a Latter-day Saint with the desire by the help of God to overcome all things.  I am Sister Ann Crooks’ teacher at this time and she desires me to write to you at this time.  I do assure you the family is in the midst of poverty -- but buoyed up in their spirits with the hopes of being shortly relieved from bondage.  She sends her kind love to you all.  They are all well in health.  Brother Carragan is our Pastor now.  War is now almost all of what the generality of people talk about or think about.  Parliament has granted 22 millions of pounds to further carry on the war against Russia.  I still live in the same house as when you used to call and see us on Carlton Hill.  You can ask Brother Moses Thurston of my character when he arrives in your midst.  He set sail out of Liverpool on the 20th of this month. If you or anyone who you are acquainted with will send for us I am willing to refund the money in any way you or the Authorities may desire.  There is six of us at this time.  The oldest (child) is nearly eleven years old.  I am a stocking maker -- earn about 8 or 9 shillings a week and they are reducing wages still further.  Trade is very bad with us … (the next page is missing. It apparently contained the closing of the letter).

 

My sister Ruth Ann Winterton married at St. Mary’s, Nottingham on April 12, 1841 William Britton born December 22 (or 23) 1796 at Nottingham. William died April 10, 1862 and was buried at St. Ann’s Cemetery in Nottingham over my mother.  They had no children.  Ann died July 10, 1854 (my wife’s sister) Eliza Marriott was baptized today by Elder Josiah Holmes and confirmed the same night by Elder John Orton in Nottingham.  (my wife’s brother ) William Marriott was baptized Oct. 27, 1854 by Elder Josiah Holmes and confirmed the next day by him and others.  (my wife’s mother) Rachel Shaw Marriott was baptized 25 April 1854 and confirmed next day by Elder John Wigley.

 

(William Hubbard’s journal also contains names of people he knew or preached to that joined the Latter-day Saint Church at about this time such as Chrabett Sharpe, Martha Chambers, Joseph Shephard, Thomas Oliver, Nellie Oliver, Edward Smith, William Pierce, Mary Ann Pierce (or Pearce), John Shephard and possibly some others, also to various Elders whom he referred to as “Pastors from the Valley.

 

On the 29th of April 1855 I was ordained an Elder by Josiah Holmes.  On the 10th of July 1854 my son William was baptized by Elder Josiah Holmes and confirmed the same night by Elder John Wigley and others.  Tithing began in the Nottingham Branch for the first time on August 10, 1856.  John and William were rebaptized by President Josiah Holmes on Sunday, April 5, 1857 and reconfirmed that afternoon by John and George Taylor, missionaries from Utah.

 

On Sunday, April 29, 1855 at a special eleven o’clock council of the Priesthood of Nottingham Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of  Latter-day Saints when various villages was chosen and decided upon and volunteers were called for I volunteered to go to Burton and Bulcote … I afterwards with Elder William Clayton administered the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper when some of the Brethren spoke on the liabilities of the Priesthood.  In the evening when I cam home I prayed God my Heavenly Father to assist me, to magnify my high and holy calling to his honour and glory amen.

 

June 10, 1855 went down to Burton and Bulcote, delivered tracts out to several houses that would have them.  Some people thanked us for them and some refused to take the tracts (which were entitled) “Only Way to be Saved” on June 17th we (Bro. Mathews) changed to the tracts “Exclusive Salvation.”  Got our dinner and tea at Brother Peterman’s house.  May God bless him and all his family.

 

June 26, 1855 I am 39 (years old) today.  Attended Nottingham Council and was ordered by Brother Holmes to labour alone in Burton.  I delivered my testimony and some more tracts.  Testified to the truth of the Latter Day work to several.  May the God of Truth, whose servant I am, assist me.

 

July 22, 1855 Went down to Burton delivered out and changed some tracts. Bore a fruitful testimony to some that God has set up his kingdom for to stand forever … attended Sacrament at St. Ann’s Chapel and confirmed one boy … attended a meeting in the market at Nottingham.  Brother Butterick addressed them and I conducted with a prayer … I went down to Gunthorpe with Brother Stringfellow and bore our testimony that God had set up his kingdom -- very few attended.

 

August 16, 18 55 Attended Nottingham Council where I was approved President of Carlton Hill District in all things … presided over meeting and asked if any had questions -- bore my testimony that God had raised up a prophet and had set up his church again with Power and Authority in these last days.

 

September 2, 1855 I went down to Burton and changed some tracts.  A would-be gentleman said the Mormons was a very bad set of people and would not take another of our tracts as they weren’t worth reading.

 

April 26, 1856 I was released from the Presidency of the Carlton Hill District and put to No. 1 District in Nottingham … Bought a pair of bedsteads of James Farmer who was going away to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake.  He asked 18 shilling and I did not examine them as I trusted his word as a brother.  I had but ten shilling and he went from Nottingham without the remainder.  When I went to take them down I thought 18 shillings was too much so did Bros. Ward, Shipley, and Pearce so I sent him six more shillings.

 

August 4, 1856 Preached at Bridgeford only a few there -- about a dozen were very attentive … Sunday School Anniversary.  My son John and daughter Ann each said a piece … preached in Old Fenton, not many present but very orderly.

 

The Presidents of the Branches and all the Nottingham priesthood were rebaptised in the Nottingham public baths on Feb. 29, 1857.  Ezra T. Benson, one of the Twelve and Brother Ray both counselors to Orson Pratt visited Nottingham and spoke that day on the Reformation and need for rebaptism and reconfirmation.

 

March 15, 1857 Elders William Pearce, William Stayney, Edward Smith, Teacher Sarah Smith and several others cut off for neglect of duty and contempt of Council.  May 10, 1857 Orson Pratt and Ezra Benson visited Nottingham and preached in the assembly room three times.

 

(Great grandfather has apparently made no entry concerning his final arrangements and experiences in journeying to America and Zion in the tops of the mountains or possibly that portion of his journal has been lost or destroyed.  As indicated elsewhere he, John and William sailed on the ship “John Boyd” in April 1863 and arrived in Utah during the autumn, September or October, of 1863 in the John Murdock Company, one hundred

years ago. )

 

Feb. 9, 1863 (my son) Thomas Winterton was baptized by Elder Isaac Gough at the New Baths in Nottingham this date and confirmed Feb. 15, 1863 by Elder Thomas Pixton from Utah.

 

Nov. 26, 1864 I (William Hubbard Winterton) was rebaptized in City Creek, Great Salt Lake City, Utah Territory U.S.A. by Ray Ramsey. Confirmed on Nov. 27 by Brother Allen and-Bishop John Sharp.

 

Nov. 27, 1864 I was reconfirmed in the 20th Ward Schoolhouse by John Hall.

 

December 17, 1864 Elizabeth Hughes and I were married by Bishop John Sharp at his own house in the 20th Ward, Great Salt Lake City.

 

February 24, 1866 We (William Hubbard Winterton and Elizabeth Hughes) passed through our endowments and were sealed together for all eternity by George Q. Cannon.

 

October 11, 1869 My oldest son John married Emma Inkpen Noakes of Charleston this date. My son Tom and daughter Ann have arrived from Nottingham.

 

Feb. 2 1, 1870 My son William married Ellen Widdison of Nottingharn and my daughter Ann married George Noakes this date.

 

January 26, 1875 (my daughter) Ann Winterton Noakes died this date in Provo Valley, Utah.  Buried at Charleston, Wasatch County, Utah January 28, 1875.  (As his granddaughter Anna was born 1 Feb. 1875 William H. or someone writing for him in later years has probably erred by writing January when February should have been shown.)

 

December 24, 1876 My youngest daughter Sarah married Arthur Parker at the St, Nicholas Church in Nottingham, England this date.

 

19 January 1877 My sister Ruth Ann Winterton Britton died this date in Nottingham, England.

 

(1864- 188?) An entry -- clearly not in great grandfather William Hubbard Winterton’s handwriting -- states he worked in 1864 for Joseph Young in Lamb’s Canyon clearing roads.  That in1865 and 1866 he worked on a farm -- some indication that it was for the Young family.  He was employed as a Tollgate Keeper in Parley’s Canyon from 1866 or 1867 until sometime in the 1880 decade.  He lived in three different places in Parley’s Canyon keeping the tollgate for Brother Brigham Young.

 

November 19, 1889 my youngest son Tom married Fannie Boardman.  He is the last of my children to marry.

 

In a shaky trembling handwriting is the entry “Elizabeth Hughes Winterton died September 21, 1889 - burial next day Salt Lake City Cemetery. She was born August 30, 1817.”

 

The last entry in the journal made by a handwriting unknown to me reads: “died in Salt Lake City, Utah on the 16th day of March 1890 William Hubbard Winterton buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.  Died in Nottingham England Sarah Marriott Winterton on the 19th day of February 1902 and buried there.”


PART I

John Marriott Winterton

16 May 1844 - 29 Dec 1910

 

John Marriott Winterton was born at Carlton, Nottinghamshire, England the first child and son of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton.  When he was about six years old his parents were converted from their Anglican church religion to a belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ of  Latter-day Saints.

 

Beginning in 1850 with his parents’ baptism by Mormon missionaries the talk and plans in the home was to go to Zion in the Tops of the Mountains of North America.  Wages were low, the hours of work long, the tasks were tedious, but there was that vision of someday crossing the ocean to a better land and a better life.  Everyone in the family worked from the time they were able.

 

There were no child labor laws in England in those days so John had worked in the textile factories some twelve or more years before coming to Utah at the age of nineteen.  Someone has previously recorded the story of the Wintertons journey to Utah. Let’s let them tell it in their own words.

 

“As a young boy every one in the home had to work to keep the family going.  His mother was a stocking seamer at a factory and would bring work home for her sons Will and John to work on and help her while they were very young.  She was seaming stockings for the frames which was run by hand.  Later they worked in the factory themselves while still very young (by our 1963 standards).

 

John’s father joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January, 1850, and his mother joined in June of the same year.  With his mother, father and brother Will they would go to Church walking three miles each way.  In the year of 1863 when John was 19 years old he, his father and his brother William set out to join the saints in Utah by boarding the ship “John J. Boyd”

Grandfather’s story continues “William celebrated his seventeenth birthday on the ship.  We made a birthday cake and put it in the fire oven, but the rocking of the ship tipped it out into the ashes.  The cooks rolled it up again, ashes and all, and put it back in the oven.  There were only two small ovens four or five feet square in which to cook for 700 passengers.  We had to prepare our own meals and nearly every time we tried to cook something the cooks would say, “There is no room”, so we became discouraged and ate for a month on uncooked food.  We ate hard tack and raw salty bacon.  We experienced rough storms on sea, saw people on deck almost drowned with waves going over the ship.

 

We landed at Castle Gardens, New York, U.S.A. about May 20, 1863.  On account of the Civil War, we had to go around through Canada.  We traveled for hundreds of miles through nothing but timber, sailing up the river two days and finally reaching the Missouri River.  While on board we were not allowed to sit or lie down.  We were treated just like so many cattle.  We arrived at Florence, Nebraska and found that the rebels had captured the train the day before so we had to wait 24 hours for more cars.  When they came the box cars still had coal dust in them. (This ride in coal train was before the ride on the Missouri River.)

 

While waiting at Florence, Nebraska about a month for the immigrants train for Utah, we went out and worked for a Mr. Davis for board.  We learned, afterwards, that this was against council but were glad we did not know as we were about starved.  The night before we were to leave, father came out and got us.  It rained so hard that we had to sit up in the wagon all night.

 

We left Florence, Nebraska June 29, 1863 with 375 souls in the wagon train. John R. Murdock was captain of the company, with Brother Abraham Hatch as first assistant.  We traveled with this train almost to the Black Hills on the

Sweet Waters River.

 

There Captain Creighton’s train drivers had left him to go to California where there was a gold rush so Captain Creighton came to Captain Murdock for help.  We stayed with Captain Creighton’s train but father continued with his train to Salt Lake City.

 

This Company promised to treat us well and to pay us $20.00 a month.  Here is where we first experienced our first job with oxen.  We traveled very slowly.  On arriving at Devils Gate we turned our cattle out for the night next morning we found some of them dead from drinking Salaratus water. We stayed three or four days until another train came along.  The leader told us to leave or it would kill all the cattle.  We traveled so slowly that we were behind 4 weeks of the other train we started with.  It was conference time in the fall of 1863 when we got to Salt Lake City.  We drove on to California but did not stay there.

 

I worked for Brother Isaac Decker for the winter of 1864-65 feeding a herd of sheep, cattle and milk cows.  I dragged cedar wood from Cedar Hill in Deckers Canyon, to keep five fires burning because Decker had four wives in four separate places and we had our own fire to keep burning.

 

In 1866 the Indian trouble began and Decker moved into town.  That left us to take the sheep north east of Heber but the people complained that the sheep were eating the cows food so we moved them back to the ranch (despite the danger of marauding Indians).

 

In the spring Mr. Decker moved back with one of his wives and Will and I got our first experience mowing hay with a scythe.  We cut two or three weeks.  Mr. Decker and Farmer Little bought the first mowing machine and cut the rest of the hay with it.

 

Mr. Decker gave us land instead of the promised wagons.  Will and I made a little dugout on our land near William Bagley home and commenced putting hay up off our land, because Mr. Decker would not help us put the hay up as was promised, we cut it with a scythe.  Later we sold the land to William Bagley for 1400 feet of lumber.  In the fall we had our stack of hay and Mr. Decker paid us our wages in sheep and they ate the hay.

 

In 1869 Mr. Walker told William and me we could have all we could raise on the ranch land if we would take care of the place so we started to work. The following Sunday President Hatch came to Finity Daybell’s house and held a meeting. He wanted men to work in Provo Canyon to build a road and he didn’t want any excuses.  We had not gotten our crops in yet, but we went.  After we worked two or three weeks we came back and planted the crops.  The grasshoppers were so bad that year that we had very little to depend on.

 

We received word that our sister Ann and brother Thomas were with father in Salt Lake and wanted William to come for them.  My father was tollgate keeper in Parley’s Canyon.  We went with pony team.  Ann wanted to bring Nellie Widdison who was in Salt Lake back with her.  Nellie and Ann had been good friends and palled around together in the Nottingham Lace Factory in England where they worked.  They were both good singers and often sang together.  We hated to bring them here as we had no lights, stove, or floor.  When Will got back he came over to George Noakes place, as I was visiting George Jr. to get me to come home and help build a bed out of quakenasp poles for the girls to sleep on.

 

Next morning will and I cooked breakfast on the campfire because the girls weren’t used to our work and ways.  Will later married Nellie Widdison.  I was courting Emma Noakes at that time and asked her to marry that fall,“ is the conclusion of this account of early day pioneer experiences.

 

Grandfather John M. Winterton fought in the Black Hawk War and was stationed at Decker Hall.  He homesteaded at Charleston where he later built

his own home and had a farm and raised cattle.

 

Many residents of the Wasatch Valley have appreciated the craftsmanship Grandpa John Winterton possessed as a well maker.  Most of these wells would be dug by hand to a depth of between 20 and 30 feet, often iron wagon tires would be used to hold the shoring in place while the digging was in progress, then as Grandpa John carefully built up the rock walls, sections of the shoring next above would be removed.  The water would drop close to the bottom of the well in the wintertime but as soon as irrigating started in the spring the water table would rise to within a few feet of the ground level and remain there all summer.  He lived and farmed at Charleston until his death Dec. 29, 1910 and is buried at the Charleston Cemetery.

 

W11 John Marriott Winterton on 11 Oct 1869 married Emma Inkpen Noakes born 3 Dec 1854 (died 10 July 1933) daughter of George Noakes and Sophia Crowfoot (see Part IX for more Noakes family information). They lived at Charleston, Wasatch County, Utah, where their children were born.  They were the parents of:

PART II

William Winterton

6 May 1846 – 14 Sept 1929

 

William Winterton was born at Carlton, Nottinghamshire, England, the second child and son of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton. When he was four years old his parents joined the Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter-day Saints.  For the next thirteen years the family dreamed and talked of the time when they could save enough money to go to Zion—the Valley in the Tops of the Mountains in North America.

 

In the meantime it was necessary for all to work to earn a meager living as the wages in the textile mills of Nottingham where stockings and lace were made were notoriously low and especially so when they were open only part time.

 

The Mormon missionaries held cottage meetings occasionally in William’s parents home and at neighbors places especially the Widdisons, but it was a three mile walk to the Church services and another three mile walk home. The boy William did not like to go unless his mother went too and she was often too tired to make the trip with her babies after making stockings all week long.

 

William started to help his mother knit stockings when he was six years old. Instead of going to school, he went to the factory and put the yarn on bobbins so that his mother could keep on operating the knitting machine without loss of time to prepare the bobbins as some of the other women had to do.  The mother-son team soon had the reputation of producing more stockings at their station than anyone else in the factory.

 

This work in the factory prevented William from attending school.  What little book learning he obtained in later life was self taught as he is reputed to have literally and actually “never went to school a day in his life.” 

 


    Jane Steadman - William Winterton     Ellen Widdison and two of their

                                                           children: Moroni & Hyrum.

 

Old home in Charleston, Utah where Hyrum S., John Joseph, Ralph, Moroni and Melissa Winterton were born.


It was in 1863 when he was seventeen years old that he quit the knitting factory job and finally set sail for Utah in America the gathering place of all who believed in the Gospel of the Latter-Day Saints. When the Captain of the sailing ship “John J. Boyd” shouted “all aboard”, William had to tear himself from his weeping mother’s arms or be left on shore--his brother John 19 and his father were already aboard as were all the other converts who had arranged for passage to the new land.

 

William’s son recalls asking his father in their Charleston, Utah home during the 1880 decade why he sat in such deep meditation.  He replied, “I am thinking of my mother; I feel I should go to England and see her and bring her back with me to our home here.  Her children are all here now and she is left all alone.”  But he was never to realize his desire to again see his mother

who had sacrificed so much to get her family to Utah.  Her answer to his letters and offer to pay her expenses to Utah was “I am afraid I could not stand the long trip and especially the voyage across the sea.”

 

William Winterton left his father at the Black Hills as their wagon train crossed the Sweetwater River near there.  He had obtained a job as an ox team driver for Wells-Fargo Co. under Captain Creighton.  It was October before the slow-moving wagon reached Salt Lake several weeks after his father’s arrival.  William continued on to California and did not reach Utah for a permanent home until early in 1864.  

 

He then drifted about seeking work first in the Salt Lake Valley, then at Provo and finally by 1865 he decided on the Wasatch Valley which was just beginning to be settled. William had traveled as far as Wanship in Summit County in his search for work and it was late fall when he visited his brother John at the Decker Ranch on the west side of the Provo River near what we now call Charleston. 

 

When the Decker Brothers, Charles and Isaac, offered him his board for the winter if he would stay there and work, he .accepted for at least the Winterton brothers would be together and have something to eat for the next several months.  The brothers herded the Decker’s sheep and cattle, gaining valuable experience in farming and ranching in this new and strange country.

 

In the spring of 1866 with the Indian trouble and the Black Hawk War starting all the people in the Charleston area were instructed by the Church authorities to move to the fort at Heber.  The Decker cattle and sheep being more numerous than the other settlers soon threatened to eat all the pasture near the fort.

 

To avoid trouble William moved the herds back to the Charleston area and was later joined by the Noakes and other menfolk while the women and children remained in the relative safety of the fort. For several months though in 1866 he was apparently the only person in the south end of Wasatch County and could easily have been harmed had any Indians chanced upon him and his herd.

 

William Winterton was no doubt lonesome while herding the flocks and thought about how nice it would be to get a letter from his mother or his friends. But where would he go to find a post office?  Heber or Provo were the closest places and he could not leave the herd that long.  One day when the mail carrier stopped to feed his horse and eat with the lonesome sheepherder, he voiced his problem.

 

James Herbert is reported to have said, “If you fellows around here will give me a name for this place, I will bring your mail to you.“  The name chosen was Charles’ Town in honor of Charles Decker, one of the leading settlers and farmers of the community and the year was 1867.  Soon common usage shortened and abbreviated the name to that of Charleston as we use it today.  Another account contends that William and a man named Parcel1 were herding their sheep and Parcel1 had told such glowing accounts of Charlestown, South Carolina that William thought it would be a good name for the Provo Valley area where he lived.  It was probably the next year 1868 that he (Decker) brought the first mowing machine into the valley; prior to that time the Wintertons and others cut their winter hay with a scythe.

 

William Winterton is reported to have brought the first grain reaper into the Wasatch Valley a few years later.  It took three good men to tie the bundles with straw bands as fast as this machine could cut the grain!  This was much easier and faster than the hand cradle the Wintertons and others had swung in previous years.

 

William Winterton was happy to see his brother John marry Emma Noakes in October 1869.  He was even more happy and somewhat embarrassed, too, when his sister Ann and brother Tom arrived from England about that same

time and brought their childhood friend and neighbor Nellie Widdison with them.  Nellie was a lovely woman of 20 years and Ann a few months younger.  What would they think of the way he was living; his home had only a dirt floor and he had no stove to cook on and no bed for the girls to sleep on!

 

Junior Noakes and Brother John helped solve the bed problem by cutting slender quaking aspen poles and framing them into a homemade bed stead. Tied together with strips of rawhide hurriedly cut by the light of a campfire and filled with fresh straw it served to provide a reasonably comfortable night’s sleep.  Yes, Junior was George Washington Noakes, brought to Utah when he was three years old and four months later he was the husband of sister Ann.  They were married the same day that William married Nellie Widdison, 21 Feb 1870.

 

Nellie’s three sisters had come to Utah and were married before she arrived. They were Mrs. Fred (Mary Ann Widdison) Brewster of Salt Lake City, Utah, Mrs. John (Jane Widdison) Craddock of Omaha, Nebraska, and Mrs. Joe (Elizabeth Widdison) Squires of Brooklyn, New York.  Her brother Heber William Widdison came to America in 1873 and Nellie‘s widowed mother died in New York City in 1873 as she was on her way to rejoin her daughters and the other Saints in Zion.

 

As William Winterton’s family grew he built better housing and acquired more land and livestock.  It was shortly after their tenth child was born and only two weeks after their 19th wedding anniversary that Nellie died of complications from a throat goiter.

 

William Winterton’s wife Ellen “Nellie” Widdison was the daughter of William Widdison Sr. 1813 - 1855 of Nottinghamshire, England and Ellen Stafford born 1819 at Arnold, Notts, England died about 1873 at Brooklyn, New York. 

 

Ellen Widdison Winterton’s paternal grandparents were Thomas Widdison and Ruth Rigley who were married 16 Sept 1809 presumably at Nottinghamshire, England. 

 

Ellen’ s maternal grandparents were Ralph Stafford of Arnold, England and Mary McMannus of Ireland.  Her great grandparents Samuel Stafford and Martha Newharn were married 11 Feb 1771 at Arnold, Nottinghamshire, England, and her second great grandparents were also born there in the early part of the 1720 decade, William Newharn and Catherine Musson.

 

William Winterton’s posterity numbers close to 700 people at this writing, 100 years after his arrival in Utah.  His son Hyrum Shurtliff Winterton in writing his father’s story counts some 90 relative s who have followed him into the foreign mission fields, and 160 relatives who have had Temple marriages.  Eight of William’s descendants have served their Church in Stake High Councils, twenty have been members of Ward Bishoprics, and many others have served in the Relief Society, Sunday School, M.I.A., Primary and in other church work.

 

The book “Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah” written by Frank Essholm some fifty years ago summarized Pioneer William Winterton’s activities by saying he was a prominent and successful rancher and livestock raiser, having reared a large family, that he was one of the leading forces in the construction of the first irrigation canal on the Upper Provo River which has always been known as the Charleston Canal; he worked on the railroad in Echo Canyon; he was an early member of the guard against the Indians’ depradations on the Provo under the leader ship of Edward Pea; he served his church as Ward Teacher, High Priest, President of the Deacon’s Quorum and in many other ways.

“Aunt Jane” Winterton reared Nellie’s children to maturity as well as her own and a nephew.  She lived to see them grow up, marry and to enjoy a large posterity.  Everyone in Charleston and surrounding area it is said enjoyed a drink of her favorite recipe for homemade herb beer. It is reproduced here for your pleasure.

 


Aunt Jane’s Herb Beer Recipe

 

Gather, wash and dry herbs.  Then take following amounts of each and put in a large kettle with about 1 ½ gals. water each time and bring to a boil, then strain.  Fill up kettle a second time, bring to a boil and strain one more time.  Strain into a honey can with lid taken off (5 gal. tin).  Into this put 8 or 12 cups of white granulated sugar and ¼ cake of Fleishman’s yeast.  Let stand until white foam covers top of liquid, then bottle and cap.  Be sure to keep in a cool place to cure for about 24 hours before drinking. Treat as you would homemade root beer.

 

(Plan to have about 4 gallons of liquid with the three cookings.) If no old honey can is available, better add a tablespoon of honey.  For tart tasting beer use the lesser amount of sugar.

Dandelions                                         1 handful

Clover blossoms                                1 handful

Hops                                                 1 handful

Mullen                                                8 or 9 leaves

PART III

John Winterton

18 May 1847 – 19 May 1847

 

John Winterton, the third child of the William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton family, was born at Carlton, Nottinghamshire, England. He died the following day so his naming was hurriedly done.  Possibly it was only after his death that the name John was also given to the older surviving brother previously known as Marriott.  Or it may be that this child was actually the first born and the year of birth was 1843 not 47 as indicated above and elsewhere in this book.  The latter would seem the more logical explanation of there being two Johns in the family.  If he was the first child and was born prematurely seven months after his parents marriage, the early death would have a reasonable explanation.  Family records conflict on this point probably the result of someone making an error in copying the date.  I believe the correct date of birth is March 18, 1843 (three, not seven) as shown in William Hubbard Winterton’s journal; the date of death then is probably 19 March 1843.


PART IV

Ann Winterton Noakes

11 Sept 1849 - 26 Feb 1875

 

Ann Winterton was born at Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England the fourth child and first daughter of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton.  At an early age she was put to work in the textile factory near her home.

 

Within the year following her birth her parents joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and when she was about fourteen her father and two older brothers left England for Utah.

 

She soon became a skilled lace maker and was able to save a few pennies a day toward her passage to America and the Land of Zion in the Tops of the Mountains in Central North America.  It took six long years of saving before she too could leave England and the unbearable factory surroundings.

 

Ann had friends who had no more opportunity for schooling than she but that did not prevent them from participating in the Nottingham Choir and singing songs and Christmas Carols at Church and on the public streets and neighbors’ homes.  She and Nellie Widdison, who later married her brother William, were close pals during their teenage years and later after their marriages lived as neighbors at Charleston for the five short years before her untimely death.

 

Ann Winterton arrived in Salt Lake City in September 1869, the first year that the railroad was completed and was probably on one of the trips scheduled during its first summer of operation. Her first stop in Salt Lake was to visit her father and then she went to Wasatch County to visit her brothers.  It was while there that she met and fell in love with a young man who lived a few miles from her brother’s place. Ann left England on 28 July 1869 aboard the sailing vessel “Colorado.”

Thomas Winterton

4 Sept 1851 - 10 June 1918

 

Thomas Winterton was born at Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England the fifth child and fourth son of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriot Winterton. When he was not quite twelve years old he witnessed the tearful parting of his parents and saw his father and older brothers John and William leave for America.

 

He worked at the textile mills to help his mother and sisters and to take his brother’s place as best he could for six long years.  He was frugal and anxious for the time when the family might be reunited in the New World.  In 1869 when he was eighteen it was finally arranged for him and Ann to go to Utah.  His mother and twelve year old sister Sarah would stay in England until there was more money to buy their passage.  He sailed from Liverpool Harbor on 28 July 1869 on the vessel named “Colorado.”

 

Thomas crossed the plains on the New Iron Horse and did not have the experience of driving an ox team freight wagon as his brothers did some six years before.  His trip was much quicker as he was in Salt Lake City by late September.

 

Thomas Winterton was to remember and cherish the acquaintance of the LDS Missionary serving his home area during that last year in England.  His name was Sherrill Shurtliff whose name was chosen for one of brother Wil1iam’s sons.  Missionary Shurtliff was instrumental in making the final arrangements for Tom and Ann to leave England when they did along with Nellie Widdison and others.

 

Thomas Winterton settled and lived at Charleston as his brothers did and when he was thirty-eight years old married on 19 Nov 1889 Miss Fanny Boardman.  The marriage license was issued and the marriage ceremony performed on the same day at Provo, Utah County, Utah.  The record is preserved in Book 1 page 122 of the Marriage Records of Utah County. Justice of the Peace W. H. Brown performed the ceremony.  Fanny gave her age as 40 years and listed Provo as her residence according to the card file of

Early Church Records at the Salt Lake Genealogical Library.

W15 Thomas Winterton on 19 Nov 1889 married Fannie R. Boardman born 17 Sept 1849 died 7 May 1924 daughter of Robert Boardman and Mary Green. The obituary notices in the Salt Lake City Deseret News and Tribune newspapers of 8 May 1924 are on file in the Church Historian’s Office and on catalogue cards microfilmed at the Salt Lake Genealogical Library.

 

Fannie and the Boardman family were Utah Pioneers of 1861.

Sarah Winterton Parker’s brothers John and William sent the money for her transportation and her two children’s fares -- Eliza Ann Parker and Fred Parker -- to come to Utah about 1895 or 1896 on the S.S. Anchoria.  Sarah came a year or so later about 1897 or 98.

 

Her son Fred obtained work in the Park City mines some 30 miles from Charleston, Utah and married Jennie Bagley.

PART IX

John and Ann Winterton’s In-Laws

The George & Sophia Noakes Family

 

Earlier in the book the marriage of John Marriott Winterton and Emma Inkpen Noakes has been described, so also has the marriage of his sister Ann to Emma’s brother George Washington Noakes been noted.  It is because of this special interest this “double-cousinship” of the two families progeny that it was decided to include a brief account of the Noakes pioneer family in the Winterton book.

 

George W. Noakes Sr. (and his father’s family) left England some 35 years before the Wintertons having lived in Ohio and other states before coming to Utah in 1852. He lived at Salt Lake, Cottonwood and Alpine, Utah before settling in 1859-60 on land in the Provo River Valley at Noakes Springs just south of Charleston - an area now covered by waters of the Deer Creek Reservoir.

 

In order to have a family coding system comparable to the Wintertons, “N” will stand for the Noakes name and “N1” will stand for George W. Noakes Sr. the father of Emma and George Jr. who married into the Winterton family.  N15 as the following family group presentation shows is the family code number of George Washington Noakes Jr., husband of Ann Winterton W14; likewise, “N18” is the number of Emma Inkpen Noakes, wife of W11 John Marriott Winterton.

 

George W. Noakes Sr. was born on 4 Sept 1811 at Udimore, Sussex, England, died 11 Sept 1893 at Charleston, Utah.  He was the son of Thomas Noakes 1791-1871 and Emma Inkpen 1789-1851 who are buried in the Salt Lake Cemetery.

 

He was the grandson of William Noakes and Elizabeth Honice.  He was the great grandson of Thomas Richard Noakes and Mary Susans.  He is thought to be the great great grandson of Zebulon Noakes and Elizabeth Ketchley of Sussex County, England who were married about 1720.

 

About January of 1838 at Commerce, Illinois, (later Nauvoo) George Noakes married Sophia Crowfoot 1818-1904 daughter of Benjamin Gideon

Crowfoot and Samantha Sackett.  Sophia joined the LDS Church within a few years after its organization in 1830 having heard its originator Joseph Smith Junior discuss its principles in her Ohio home.

 

George Noakes was apparently not baptized a member of the Mormon Church until 1849.  He was a ward teacher, Superintendent of Sunday School, a Seventy and acted in other Church capacities.  George and Sophia were parents of twelve children:

N11 Mary Noakes born 17 Sept 1839

N12 Cornelia Noakes born 19 Dec 1840

N13 Rosarner Noakes born 1 Jan 1843

N14 Eliza Noakes born 25 Nov 1846

N15 George Washington Noakes Jr. born 14 Feb 1849

N16 William Henry Noakes born 25 Sept 1850

N17 Thomas Nephi Noakes born 10 Sept 1852

N18 Emma Inkpen Noakes born 3 Dec 1854

N19 Mary Elizabeth Noakes born 3 Oct 1857

N1-10- John Hubbard Noakes born 19 March 1859

N1-11- David Edward Noakes born 9 Sept 1860

N1-12- Robert Avery Noakes born 5 Sept 1862

PART X

Conclusion

 

A busy Winterton mother was overheard to say to a neighbor, “I could be such a good parent if I wasn’t so darned busy raising kids.”

 

How should a family history book, intended as a memorial to our pioneer great grandparents, end?  Just where or when can we really say “it’s finished’’?  Is there anyone, any place who has a satisfactory answer to these questions?

 

I haven’t found the answer and yet I know that both space and financial limitations impose a restriction as to what may be written!  Neither have I been able to trace all of the descendants of William Hubbard Winterton and Sarah Marriott.  The present whereabouts of several of their great grandchildren and possibly great great grandchildren as well as these progenies’ names is unknown to me.

 

Much as I regret not being able to include their names and other biographical and genealogical data to make a more complete record, it seems necessary to proceed to print the data that is available.

 

It is quite possible that my research was inadequate or faulty and that some of the incomplete family lines of the Winterton descendants will feel slighted to learn their names and records are less inclusive than they might have been.  My apologies -- I can only say that I tried to find you.

 

Several other Winterton cousins either failed to acknowledge my correspondence, or I was unable to secure a correct current address.

 

The question has been asked “doesn’t anyone know for sure who our ancestors were back in the 15th or 16th centuries”?  My answer is in the negative, at least, I am not aware of a source of such information.  This book contains all the information of the progenitors of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton that I could find – as you have noted it is of uncertain substance even as early as the middle of the seventeenth century.

 

Did William H. or Sarah or their parents have any idea when they married in England in the 1840 decade to what numbers their progeny would reach by this 100th anniversary of their arrival in Utah?  Possibly they didn’t even discuss the subject being too busy with the day to day, yes even hour to hour struggle to feed their stomachs and find a small measure of shelter against the night and the storm.

 

Surely the United States of America, a young country on a new continent, had a need for such as they who had an appreciation for “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”  Such restless spirits were needed to pioneer and colonize in the mountains and valleys of the West --  needed to cross an ocean, plains and rivers to find their homes and cease to be strangers to these shores.

 

Several years ago when I stood in New York City Harbor and looked at the Statue of Liberty and read the inscription written by Emma Lazarus, I thought how aptly it applied to the William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton family in England as well as to the thousands of other American immigrants.

 

“Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddle masses yearning to be free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send the homeless tempest-tossed to me,

I lift my hand beside the golden door. “

 

The William Hubbard Winterton family was part of the 5 million European immigrant group arriving in the United States between 1850 and 1880 that helped offset the high civil war mortality rate.  Their descendants are taking part in the population boom of the past decade which has been triggered by the introduction and discovery of life saving drugs, antibiotics, surgical techniques and unprecedented economic prosperity.  Every 10 or eleven seconds during the past year our nation’s population gained one more person.  Here in Utah and in nearby states the Winterton descendants were likewise growing in numbers.

 

I believe William Hubbard Winterton and Sarah Marriott would have been amazed to see this listing of several thousand of their descendants.  Yet this family’s growth is not any more phenomenal than many another pioneers of the same time and place.  Population estimates place some 300,000,000 people on earth at the time of our Savior’s birth and 1700 years later the estimate doubles to 600,000, 000 people.  Now 1963 years later the figure is ten times as great and the estimate is thought to be a quite accurate figure of three billion (3,000,000,000).  What a small drop in the bucket we Wintertons are when viewed in comparison to these numbers.

 

Utah had a population of 890,000 people in 1960 where 113 years before there were just a few small roving bands of nomadic “Yuta” Indians.  While this account shows some dispersion from Utah to other states on the part of William Hubbard Winterton’s descendants, I think it safe to estimate at least eighty percent of them still live within our borders.  Would it be boasting to say that 1/6 of one per cent of Utah’s present (1963) population is composed of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott’s progeny?

 

The Winterton descendants are interesting and important people; it is to be hoped this family history will preserve a permanent and lasting record of these several thousand persons even though they do represent less than 1% of the State of Utah’s present population and an even more infinitesimal portion of the Nation’s and earth’s population.  The Winterton descendants have included among them men and women of almost every kind of occupation or profession. 

 

There have been cattle breeders, government and Church officials, educators, farmers, miners, livestock raisers, businessmen and storekeepers, soldiers, sailors and airmen, laborers and workers in factories and on construction projects -- they have been missionaries, nurses, cooks, waitresses, janitors and teachers.  Some have traveled only within the state--to the next county; others have gone to other states and still other Wintertons have traveled extensively about the earth going to other nations and continents.

 

But most of the descendants of our Utah pioneer ancestors who still bear the family name remain in Utah.  They reside in the Valleys in the Tops of the Mountains of Zion to use the poetic phrase.  They live in Salt Lake, Utah, Wasatch and other counties of Utah USA to use a more prosaic wording.

 

To be still more exact and comparative in my statements I referred to the telephone directories of a number of communities across the width and length of our nation.  Here is what I found.  These are the numbers of Winterton names with telephone service in the respective cities.  Salt Lake, Utah, 9; Provo, Utah, 6; Charleston (and Heber Valley), Utah, 6; Roosevelt, Utah, 4; other Utah communities, 4; total in Utah, 29.

 

Metropolitan Los Angeles, California, with five separate telephone directories listed only four Wintertons.  Seattle, Kansas City, Boston and Dallas had one each.  Chicago had two.  Cleveland, Washington D.C., Pittsburg, Minneapolis, Miami, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Baltimore, Detroit and San Francisco listed none.  LaGrande, Oregon and Sand Point, Idaho directories were not available to me but I know at least one Winterton family in each of those places who has a phone.  Total 12 Winterton phones in selected cities in other states.

 

Let us be honest with ourselves and those that will read this record at some later date.  A few of us are just a little bit less than perfect.  I was pleased to read that experienced genealogical researchers admit that even the noblest and most royal of ancient families sometimes have a confused ancestry with a mysterious family skeleton or two hid in a closet.  Why should the Wintertons be any different?

 

Can’t we be lenient in our judgments and tolerant of such marital misfeasance or malfeasance we might think to have discovered in ancestral family or collateral lines?  It could be, you know, that some amateur researcher or typist has erred -- not a Winterton ancestor or cousin. 

 

Please don’t be chagrined if the exploration into the past and present reveals a Winterton family tree with an embarrassing twig or two -- even a rotten limb might show up.  Just remember it1 s what you and I do that counts, not what our ancestors did or didn’t do.

 

While on this subject I’d like to repeat that old sagacious saying: “There are no delinquent or illegitimate children -- it is their parents who are responsible.”

 

An anonymous writer has described the birth and death of the several generations of a family in the following words: “Aye thus it is, one generation comes, another goes and mingles in the dust; and thus we come and go, and come and go, each, for a little moment filling up some little place, and then we disappear in quick succession, and thus it shall be so until time, in one vast perpetuity, is swallowed up everlastingly.”

 

We must bring the writing of this book to a close but the story of the William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton family and their descendants goes on indefinitely.  It would be interesting to know about the children and other progeny of our great grandparents’ collateral ancestors.

 

Possibly some Winterton or other family descendant will someday feel urged to make such a compilation.  What an interesting research activity it should be!  Consider a1so the many thousands more names that will be added to William Hubbard Winterton’s progeny in the next 100 years.

 

What an immense volume it would take to contain the names of the posterity of William Hubbard Winterton’s great grandchildren if it were to be written in 2063 A. D.!  Perhaps some yet unborn family member will undertake the project in another hundred years.
