3rd Great Grandfather

Robert Telford
enhanced and colorized picture
using the My Heritage site

Robert Telford
Parents:  John Telford and Jane Telford (they were cousins)

Born 8 Jan 1826 Barrhead, Renfrew, Scotland

Note: Barrhead is listed as Bear Head in the ward records, but in the World Atlas it's Barrhead

From Family Search: Robert was primarily a farmer, yet a great deal of his time was spent hauling coal largely for a factory. Robert also owned considerable livestock. During the summer he drove the unneeded horses and cattle to summer pasture in the mountains and would return them in the fall to the valley. In November 1872, he wrote (in his diary), "I sold my yellow mare to John Wood for $125. Also, I took a load of potatoes to town and sold my young mare for $70."

Married: 1) Rebecca Stoddard 22 Feb 1852 North Kenyon Ward, Bountiful, Davis, Utah

Robert, Charles, and John Telford's marriages announced in Deseret News
all taking place at the same time and married by the same person: Bishop John Stoker.

 A.L. Hetzel on Family Search reported that, "His first wife, Rebecca, left the relationship and remarried (William S. Lee) in May 1874. She had been unable to bear children, which likely prompted him to take a second wife.

2) Maria Spooner 18 Jun 1864, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah

Emigrated to Utah:  17 May 1851-25 Sep 1851 Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel
Note: Traveled with Harry Walton/Garden Grove Company with his parents, his sister Anna and her husband Charles, his brother John and sister Eliza
Died 24 Nov 1879 Bountiful, Davis, Utah
Burial: 27 Nov 1879 Bountiful Cemetery

Note: The cemetery index gives her father's name as George Spooner and her mother as Sarah, but this is not correct as her father on LDS records is given as George Lees.
LDS Ward Records of Mendon, Utah
Note: on LDS ward records her father is listed as George Spooner. Perhaps when asked, she just gave her father's name as George (which seems to indicate that George Lees is indeed her father) and the clerk must have assumed the surname was Spooner.  At one time she was listed as 'cut off' (excommunicated) from the LDS church at her own request - hence the obituary mentioning she died in full fellowship meaning she had been re-baptized in Utah in the SLC 17th ward.

CHILDREN

Mary Spooner
Born abt 1837 Birley, Derby, England

2022 Note: on Family Search, someone has indicated that she is Mary Jane Gardener Randall Spooner. There is a christening that seems to indicate that a Hannah Randall had a daughter in 1836 and that the biological father was George Gardener - whom Hannah never married - and George Spooner is claimed as her stepfather. 

This problem is complicated, people, and the things I've seen so far are not completely conclusive. The biggest problem I have right now, is that her obit claims she came from London instead of Derbyshire to the United States in 1869 (six years after her sister) and lived in Pennsylvania for 8 years. I hope someone has an explanation for these oddities.
