This post that leads to Mary Degraw b. 1800, Upper Canada. As it turns out, is probably " NOT MY MARY!!!!!!!!" My Mary by all census records state, my Mary, was b. 1820 - 23, Cranbro, Oxford
County, Blenheim District.
I am still at a brick wall with this person.
But... the story behind Mary's family b. 1800, is one of persecution, illness of a brother, & the entire families on the run, for their " RELIGIOUS BELIEF'S!!!!!!!!!!!! "
Mary's younger brother Jacob Degraw b. 16th Jul 1811 Mendon, Monroe, New York - d. 5 Jan 1856 Lehi, Utah. Jacob was married to Sophia Dutton b. 20 Aug 1814 Hartford, Windsor, Vermont -
d. 17 Nov 1902 Emery, Emery, Utah.
Their story is of the LDS migration, Jacob is crippled with " POLIO, HAS A SPINAL CORD INFECTION + other health problems. Jacob is a tailor by trade, Who makes suits for Brigham Young. Brigham convinces Jacob & Sophia into traveling from New York to Utah with the rest of the " MORMONS ", gathered.
What a " STORY IT IS!!!!!!!!!! "
