Etheldred (Dred) Wallace
Parents William Wallace and Susannah Exum
Born 1778 North Carolina
Occupation: Lawyer and Farmer
Married Amy abt 1800 Edgecomb County, North Carolina
Note:  They "divorced" when he gave her the right for him to never set eyes on her again. He gave her the house and half of the barn and barnyard and gave the rest to his son in return for his son keeping him in his old age.  The following document supports this claim.


Note: the European Union took a lot of pictures from this blog and this, unfortunately, is one of them. I will continue to search for the original (2021) In the meantime, here is a printed article that will confirm their all most divorce

Parents:  John Taylor and Eleanor Burkett

Died 18 May 1948 Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho (age 98)
Buried 21 May 1948 Rose Hill Cemetery, Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho

Short life history:
Eliza's family moved to Ogden, Utah in 1852 when she was about three years old, then in about 1862, at the age of thirteen, the family moved to Madison County, Montana where she met and married Isaac Luckey in about 1865. In 1865 or 66, Isaac and Eliza moved to California to the Sacramento Valley, where they took up a homestead in Denverton, Solano, California. Land records for Denverton Township show Isaac as a farmer with a 160 acre section in the southeast corner of the township. 

The family farmed here for some 16 years, during which time they had eight children, (Note The children may have been born in Rio Vista which is about ten miles east by south east of Denverton, which was quite a small town with a population in 1878 of about 54 families in the total Denverton Township.

In 1882, the family began a long trek to Vernal, Uintah County, Utah. They drove a herd of cattle the 800 miles with several of the children helping out. Here in Vernal, they had four more children 

They settled first in Steinaker Draw, later moving to a claim on Taylor Mountain and then back to Ashley Ward. 

They divorced in 1903.  Several years after Isaac's death, in about 1909, Eliza Jane packed up her belongings and with two of her sons, George A. and Forest D, in a one-horse buggy, headed for Star Valley, Wyoming, where another of her son's, Johnny, had died leaving a homestead. She not only proved up on his homestead but also took up another homestead of 320 acres of land in the wilderness of Swan Valley, Idaho.

On 16 Jun 1917, Eliza married William "Billy" MORRIS in Freedom, Wyoming. William was born in Sussex, England in 1861 and first immigrated to Canada in 1907, then across the U.S. to Wyoming. In 1920, Billie and Eliza sold out their holdings and moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho where they spent the remainder of their lives. 

Billy died 9 Apr 1946 and Eliza Jane died 18 May 1948 at the age of 98. They are both buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

SHORT BIO:  -Vernal Express, Dec. 4, 1952, transcribed by Rhonda Holton -edited by M.E. 

Nellie Eleanor Luckey was born in Rio Vista, California in 1868, to Isaac Thomas and Eliza Jane Taylor Luckey. The Luckey's moved to the Vernal area in 1882. It took them over a year to make the trek as they herded cows 800 miles. Nellie and her little brother had to help. She was twelve years old. William Powell and Isaac (Nellie's father) became good friends and William and Nellie became acquainted.

Nellie married William Swinford Powell, son of Charles Kelly and Elizabeth Ann Ellington Powell, on 1 Feb 1887 in Vernal. They lived in a big one room house William had built out of cottonwood logs. He built more rooms as the family grew. They had five children.

Nellie knew horses and could handle them as well as a man. She did horse trading with the Indians who frequently traveled by their homestead.  In 1902, William bought 200 acres of ranchland on the Green River in Jensen.

Some husbands died and one took all her money, but William helped her when she was ill or down and out. He always made sure she had a place to live. According to her grandson, Nellie never was happy after she divorced William.

She was known to many to the grandchildren as "Grandma Savage"

After the divorce, Nellie married four other husbands: John Harper, Frank Fairchild, George Emory Stone, and Erastus Savage. Some husbands died and one took all her money, but William helped her when she was ill or down and out. He always made sure she had a place to live.

According to her grandson, Nellie never was happy after she divorced William. The 1910 census for Uintah County indicates that her sons John, William and daughter Nellie were living with her and John Harper. Nellie died in 1952 at 84 years of age. She had a colorful character and came to be known as Grandma Savage. She is buried next to her father, Isaac, in the Vernal Cemetery.

William Luckey
Born 26 May 1871 Denverton, Solano, California
Married Sarah Ann Johnson 30 Dec 1895
Children:  Vivian (male), James, Lester, Marion (male), Sarah
NOTE: three of their children (Vivian, Marion, and Sarah) were buried in the Wyoming State Training School Cemetery - possibly four (Lester).  I thought the name was odd for a cemetery .  This is what I discovered:  Wyoming State Training School started in 1912 for mentally retarded people. (At the time known as Feeble Minded). The cemetery was first used in 1913. 
During the depression, parents dumped their children off because they couldn't afford them, NOT because they were mentally retarded.   Lester, Marion, Sarah, Vivian, and Alton are inmates of the 'school' in the 1930 Census when the depression was so bad.  At the same time, and more curious, is the fact they are also showing as being home with their parents in Lonetree in the 1930 Census.  James was with his father in the 1940 Census and doesn't show on the school records - so far.  The others were still at the school, except Vivian who had died.  It's a puzzle - does anyone know anything about it?

John Asquith 1676 Elizabeth Slingsley abt 1676

Note:  This is mostly speculation. 
The dates fit 
The places - Batley and Woodkirk - are just a few miles from each other 
The names of the children (male) fit with the descendants

John Asquith
Christened 27 Dec 1676 Batley, York, England
Parents:  Thomas Asquith and unknown mother
Married Elizabeth Slingsley 24 Jun 1694 Batley, York, England
Note:  I've seen her surname recorded as Kingsby in Family Search - so I think there is either an extraction error or someone misread the SL for a K.  I did find other Slingsleys in the area, but no Kingsby
Possibly Buried 20 Apr 1720 Woodkirk, West Ardsley, York, England
Note:  There are 3 John Asquiths that were buried in Woodkirks - this one and two others that were buried in 1741 and 1747 - all are possibilities; however, I chose this one as he would have been 44 (an old man in the day and age) More research is needed.  If this is him, Elizabeth would likely have remarried as she would have had minor children in her care.

Joseph Asquith 1712 Isabell Morris 1712-1751

Josephus (Joseph) Asquith
Christening 29 Feb 1712 Woodkirk, York, England
Note:  Originally, the family group sheet listed his birth year 1705, but, upon further research, I found his parents had 2 Josephs - one in 1705 and one in 1712.  I used the second one because the first likely died.  The dates still work, though it means he was married when he was about 18 instead of 25.
Parents: Johannis (John) Asquith and Elizabeth Slingsley
Married Isabell Morris 1 Feb 1730 All Saints, Wakefield, York, England
Note:  His surname was spelled Askwith in the marriage record.

CHILDREN

Note:  The first three children I based on time/location.  The parents were married in 1730.  On my original FGS, the children started with Joshua.  Then, as I began to research, common sense told me it was likely they had other children born to their union - earlier than Joshua (especially with 6 years of marriage before he was born).  I searched the local area.  Heartshead is only 6.3 walking miles to Woodkirk/West Ardsley.
