Elizabeth Ann Taylor and Samuel Driggs and John Criddle

Samuel Driggs
Parents Urial Driggs and Hannah Ford
Born 17 Feb 1820 Allgheny, Pennsylvania
Mormon Pioneer Overland Trail: Milo Andrus Company
Married Mary Ann Taylor 4 Oct 1840 Mount Hope, Adams, Illinois
Died 16 Jan 1854 at home/the farm, Kaysville, Davis, Utah
Buried Salt Lake City Cemetery, Salt Lake, Utah
From Family Search:
The Last Request of Samuel Driggs to his wife and friends before he departed this life, who expired on the 16th day of Jan., 1854, being 33 years, 11 months old.
He was born in Allegheny, Co., Pa. on Feb 17th, 1820. He embraced the principles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the year 1838 in the state of Ohio, from thence he started together with the saints, to Nauvoo, Ill. in 1839. He lived with the saints and in 1840 he married and so settled until the expulsion. From that place, on the first day of May, 1846, he left with his family and traveled by land, to Savannah, MO., and lived there two years and then started with his family for Great Salt Lake Valley and arrived here on the 1st of September 1850. 

He settled in Davis County, Utah and made a good farm and assisted, even one of the foremost, in establishing a schoolhouse in the district he lived in and sent his children to school, requesting that it should be sustained and that his children should have a liberal education. 

He was taken sick on the 11th of Jan. with inflammation on his lungs and continued very sick for some days til the fore part of the day that he died. He said “I might not stay long with you and I want to say to you, my wife and neighbors, I would like to be with you, but I have a work to do and I must go and do it. This is the true gospel and I wish you to lay aside all traditions that may be about you and be sealed to me for eternity. Take good care of my children. I want them sent to school and I do not want them knocked about too much. I want them taught the principles of this kingdom and not go into bad company nor run to too many dances.” 

He also took his children one by one and told them to be obedient to their mother and obey the commandments of the Lord in all things. Then he requested his neighbors to forgive them if he had offended them at any time and took them one by one by the hand and asked them to forgive him if they had anything against him, and requested the elders that were present to make his request public. 

He said that “I forgive everybody and I have not got anything against anyone. I wish Allen Taylor and the neighbors, if they see my children do wrong, to counsel them for their good.” He said that it was the sweetest bed he ever laid upon. He told how he wished to be laid upon the bed, “These are the happiest moments I ever experienced.” Called witnesses to the covenanted he made with his wife, bore his testimony to the work of God, “Amen.” Next said he, “I am sleepy.” Closed his eyes in death, without a struggle January 16, 1854.
He was one of the Seventy Elders of Israel and school commissioner and water master in the district where he lived and was respected as a Saint of God by all who knew him. But he is gone, and leaves a wife and five children and many friends to mourn his loss.

Life Sketch (shared by Kylee Heigel on Family Search):
Elizabeth Ann was married to Samuel Driggs on 4 October 1840 at Mounthope, Adams Co. Illinois. In 1850 they crossed the plains with their four children, one having died in infancy. One incident that is remembered follows: Samuel was sick. Elizabeth heard the bell on the sheep-living camp in the night. She got up, dressed herself and started after them. She had not gone far when she came to a sheep that looked as if it were breathing its last breath. While looking at the sheep, a large gray wolf came at her. She had a long stick with which she thought off the wolf, and he ran away. At the camp they heard her scream, but she got all the sheep including the one which had been attacked.
Elizabeth and Sam arrived in Salt Lake Valley late in the summer with an ox team and fifteen sheep, having been three months on the road.
The family lived in a covered wagon until they could build a house. They had a very scanty provisions the first winter. The sheep were latter taken to Grace, Idaho by Fred Burton, to be rented out. He came each year to pay Elizabeth here interest. They were later purchased by him.
 
After reaching the Valley, the family suffered many privations and hardships. Early in January 1854, Samuel died at Kaysville, Utah. He was taken to Salt Lake City for burying. Since there were heavy winter snows, Elizabeth could not go but stayed at home to tend her four daughters and small son.

Elizabeth Criddle
Born 21 Jun 1855 Kaysville, Davis, Utah
Married David Craig 27 Dec 1870 Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Children: John, Lizzie, Ada
2)  John Barton Jr 29 March 1888 Logan, Cache, Utah
Note:  I was unaware of the second marriage and discovered the fact John Barton Jr. was a scoundrel.  The marriage appears to have been kept 'secret' and the reason why is below.  It also explains a few things about the headstone being cracked (I had thought maybe it was the sexton's mistake or the work of vandals)  In the interest of brevity, I modified the tale. If you would like the full version, please visit the link to Elizabeth's headstone below.

Life Sketch on findagrave:

Elizabeth was married to David for less than 12 years. They had three children: John David, Lizzie May, and Ada Jane.

Ada only lived six weeks. Four years later, her husband David was killed in a horse-drawn wagon accident.  

Elizabeth was 27 when she became a widow.  Left with much property and the need to care for a large farm, she had only the help of nine-year-old John. Four years later, her daughter Lizzie died. John David was not yet thirteen, but expected to help Elizabeth keep the large farm going.  They did this successfully for six years.  When David reached an age to have a family of his own, Elizabeth agreed to marry John Barton, the local undertaker. They wed 29 March 1888 at Logan, Cache, Utah. 

Here is where the tale gets dicey.  
John Barton's brother was the local tax assessor; he and John Barton had also been privy to Elizabeth's personal and financial standing for about six years and John had recently become a widower. Both of the Barton brothers' signatures found upon documents concerning Elizabeth's financial holdings, including valuable stock in the Adams' Mercantile and her personal property arrangements, validate that conclusion. 

Barton was fifteen years older than Elizabeth, and family records indicate there was little approval of him. Young David especially did not think Barton had Elizabeth's best interest in mind. 

Elizabeth took Barton and his daughters into her comfortable home and the situation rapidly deteriorated.

It was early in the marriage when young David and Elizabeth recorded in personal letters that Barton expected Elizabeth to not only pay all expenses, but also to pay Barton for chores he might do around the house and farm.

Barton moved out and shortly thereafter, his tax assessor brother sent Elizabeth a formal notice that her property had been "re-accessed", according to an old obscure law that she had only a certain number of days to come up with "X" amount of cash for the added back taxes.

The curious thing about the letter is that it was written on a certain date, but not postmarked for over a week, which cut her time to respond to the demand down to about two days!

The other puzzling facts are 
(1) That within that very year, Elizabeth died of an undetermined stomach ailment at 35 years old. (2) I have in my possession the original drawing showing her proposed tombstone, which Barton arranged for; and, it reads: "ELIZABETH, Wife of JOHN BARTON". 
(3) Another drawing of the same stone was found in the family papers, drawn by the same gravestone company, and it reads: "ELIZABETH CRIDDLE, Wife of DAVID CRAIG". At the bottom of the page (which is actually a purchase order), it further reads, "David Craig will pay $ 50 dollars more for the stone" (referring to her surviving son, David). The latter version was erected at grandmother's grave, alongside the matching one of grandfather David's.

Elizabeth's headstone 
 
(4) Sometime later, it was broken off with the portion containing her name missing. To this day, the stone remains as pictured. Her son, David, remained owner of all her property because she had quit claim deeded it to him prior to her ill-fated second marriage.

LDS Mission Southern States (after he was married)
Note:  He wrote a letter to then President Wilford Woodruff to delay his mission, citing the fact the family needed him - his wife was expecting baby #4 and he needed another month.
Occupation:  Farmer
Married Sarah Maria (Dot) Linford 30 March 1887 Logan, Cache, Utah Territory
Children:  William, Lawrence, Eva, Della, James, Verna, Carl, Dora, Myrtle
Excerpt from family history provided on Family Search:
"About 1883, James H. Linford (1836-1925) rented a farm on the mountain road. One Sunday afternoon he took his family in a lumber wagon for a ride along the mountain road. A number of us boys were playing ball in the road. Just opposite us a tug came unhitched which caused them to stop. Dot (Sarah Maria Linford) was sitting on a chair. She looked good to me the first time I remember seeing her, and after keeping her company for nearly 4 years we decided to become partners for life. On the 30th of March, 1887, we were married in the Logan Temple, and two weeks later we moved to Syracuse, which was then South Hooper Ward, on 25 acres of land I had bought previously (two miles west from the center of Syracuse and 0.8 miles north on the west side of the road). There was a little farm shack with two small rooms. It was a good many years before we were able to have any carpets on the floor or screens to the windows. Later we increased our farm from 25 to 60 acres. I never did mortgage anything nor never did buy on the installment plan. My taxes have never been delinquent, and I have never been on any company payroll. We got along with our dry farm here for 8 years. In the fall of 1895 after working on the header and thresher, I was hauling my straw to winter a few head of cattle. John Cole was keeping a little store and post office in the building now owned on the James T. Walker farm. I called in passing to see if there was any mail, and to my surprise there was a box letter signed by President Wilford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon, and Joseph Fielding Smith, the First Presidency of the Church calling me to the Southern States Mission. This was in early September. The letter stated there was a company leaving on the 7th of November, only two months ahead. It had never been mentioned to me. You may imagine how I felt. We had three children. Della, the fourth was soon expected to be born. After all due consideration, I answered the letter and asked for one more month to get ready. I left on the 7th of December, two days after the Syracuse Ward was organized. I was the first missionary to leave from the Syracuse Ward. When I got to Callanogo, the headquarters for the mission, President Elisa S. kimball assigned me to Florida with Chris J. Brown of Ogden and Heber C. Blood of Kaysville. He let us have only enough money to pay our train fare to Florida. I asked him what we were going to do for board and lodging. He said he had some 400 missionaries in the Southern States traveling without purse or script. It was hard for me to ask entertainment on the start, but we soon saw the promise of the Lord fulfilled where in he says, "I will feed you, cloths you, and raise up friends to give you money". I proved the word of the Lord to be true. In 28 months it only cost me a little less than $400 traveling most of the time without purse or script. I returned on the second of April and found my family well and found my wife had more money on hand than when I left, but she had served a mission that hadn't been easy for her. I bought another sixty acres of ground on the bench one half mile west of the church house. We traveled back and forth to farm until we built a brick house and moved into it in December 1911. After living in it for twenty-five years, we hope to live the remainder of our lives. I worked in the Sunday School and was appointed first counselor to superintendent David Cook, which position I held for six years. On the eleventh of February, 1900, a new Quorum of Seventies was organized from the fifty-fifth quorum of Kaysville. The new quorum was the 130th located in Syracuse, North Davis Stake, which took in all the county north of Kaysville.
   
I have acted as ward teacher for thirty-five years, and have filled a home mission. I have been a director in the Hopper Dairy Corporation, was president of the Deacons, Teachers, Elders, Seventies and High Priests' Quorums. I was ordained a seventy by Golden Kimball."
