*Mary Eleanor Taylor
Parents John Taylor and Eleanor Burkett
Note: to see her with her parents and sibs click here: http://upperlevelgen.blogspot.com/search?q=burkett
Born 12 Jun 1843 Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois
Died 6 Jan 1941 Freewater, Umatilla, Oregon
Buried 9 Jun 1941 LaGrande, Union, Oregon
Here is a story I found about her that I cut and pasted (my notes are in brighter red):
Mary Eleanor was responsible for the care of her twin baby brothers (Note: there was one of each gender in both sets of twins/siblings. The first set was older than Mary Eleanor and one of the older set of twins (Eleanor) died, so that leaves the second set of twins who were younger (William and Lucinda). Mary would have been about nine years old when the twins were born) as they crossed the plains. They camped with other small companies at night. While enroute, an Indian was attempting to steal one of the twins confronted Eleanor. She grabbed up a butcher knife (yes, even a nine-year old could do this), and frightened the Indian away. She walked all the way from Nauvoo to Salt Lake Valley, except when crossing streams.(The family was in Texas, then Oklahoma, and then to Utah - she couldn't have walked all the way from Nauvoo unless they backtracked from Oklahoma or Texas to Illinois and then came west - very unlikely) She and her sister had many opportunities to marry into a polygamy family. They refused them all. After each proposal they climbed upon the log house and cut a notch in a ridge pole. (This sounds more like a family legend than truth, anyone know what really happened?)
How Samuel met Mary:
After his mother's death, Samuel went to Texas with his brothers, Stephen, Charles & Reuben There he was married to Emeline Pinkley who died after childbirth, as did the child. Sam joined a group who were headed to the California Gold Fields, while on their way they stopped in Salt Lake (City). While there Sam looked for his brother, Elihu. As he came into to town on his horse "Billey" with a pistol on each hip, riding down the center of the street, he was hailed by a stranger who said, "Brother Hiatt, you are looking for your
brother, Elihu. He lives in Farmington." Sam was given directions. He went to visit his brother. He didn't care for the men he was traveling with, so decided to stay with his brother, although he wasn't going to become a Mormon! In the Spring of 1859 he was baptized. From Farmington he went to teach school at Slaterville. It was here that he met his future wife, Mary Eleanor Taylor. They lived in Utah for awhile, to Idaho, then to Hermiston, Oregon.

| Mary Jane Hiatt Stanford and husband headstone |
Born 25 Mar 1872 Harrisville, Weber, Utah
Married Thomas Barnett Stanford 28 Mar 1889 Idaho
Children: Alfred, Delbert, Mable, Ethel, Eva, Mary, Ada, Thomas, Laura
Died 29 Dec 1956 Milton-Freewater, Umatilla, Oregon
From findagrave:
She was the mother of 10 children: Roy, Delbert, Mabel, Ethel, Eva, Mae, Ada, Fernie, Blanche, Sadie (dec'd aged 3 months, 1914). Grandma was raised in Utah. After her marriage to Tom, they moved to Idaho, Washington, Alberta Canada, and in the Spring of 1915 back to the USA. They lived in Enterprise, OR until the Spring of 1916 when they moved to Milton (-Freewater, now), OR. Grandpa died in 1933. After his death she continued to live in their home with her younger children. In 1950 Blanche (my Mom) married Sims Clark and he moved in with them, so Mom could care for her mother. Grandma had many strokes that eventually paralized her throat so she could not swallow. Mom said the only thing she could keep down was tea. Grandma died when I was about 6, so my memories of her are only from my childhood. She loved chocolate peanut clusters and candy orange slices. They were always available. Grandma would have my Mom call me in from playing, so she could see for herself that I was 'safe'. Sometimes she would give my cousin, Stan, and I some money. He'd get 50 cents (he was older) and I'd get a quarter! I know I was a bit special to Grandma because I was her youngest and last grandchild. But, she loved all her grandchildren and great(s) grandchildren. [Headstones, neither have the correct death year!]

Another time, my parents and I were going on a vacation to the coast and on our way stopped by to visit with Aunt Lou and Uncle Royal. Uncle Royal wasn’t home though, so we visited with Aunt Lou. Dad jokingly, said, “You should come and go with us.” She thought about it moment or two and replied, “Well, I think I will. I’ll just leave Royal a note.” And off to the coast she went.
