This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Smith family name is common, the story of this Smith family is anything but common. This history begins with the ancestors that arrived in the British Colonies of North America in the early 1600's. The majority of the book is made up of the biographies of five generations of the family that are primarily based on first and second hand sources. Some memories are quoted in the text to give a personal perspective. The direct line ancestors of family were expelled from Nauvoo, Illinois in 1846 with other members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They faced great hardship crossing the planes and then had to establish homes in the wilderness. The suffering and dedication of those people is inspirational. This family played a significant role in the settlement of the community of Daniel in Heber Valley, Utah. The accounts go up to the 1980's.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume in this series introduces the author's maternal ancestors, who were among the first to settle on the East Coast of North America. More than half of the Mortimores lived in the New England colonies, with some arriving on the Mayflower. Many participated in the American Revolution. Relying mostly on historical documents, the author pieces together a story that spans more than a century in the life of the Mortimore family as they migrated from the East Coast through the Northwest Territory and eventually settled in Iowa. You'll meet larger-than-life characters like Jack Mortimore, who left his family for three years with no explanation and returned to complain about how they'd run things while he was gone. You'll thrill to the courage of heroes such as Rachel Combs, the midwife who let nothing get in the way of helping the women who needed her-not even a bear in her path. And you will be delighted by everyday eccentrics like Jim Mortimore, who was very proud of his job as skunk controller for the town of Saratoga, Wyoming. Soldiers, pioneers, farmers, artisans, visionaries-the story of the Mortimore family is the story of this country's courage and curiosity, making this book a treasure for anyone interested in America's westward expansion.

Download or read book An American Family Michael Arbogast written by Curtis Sharp and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Arbogast was restless He viewed his future in Baden-W�rttemberg, Germany as bleak. It was a part of his DNA, and that of his children to create a better life, at least give them a better opportunity than he saw in his existing situation. Local talk had it that the frontier wilderness in this place called America offered opportunities if one had the right stuff to survive the challenge. But was his life so reached in Germany that he should risk his future on a gamble of wrestling a small parcel on the earth surface from the current owner who would die before he gave it up, and ever mindful that the former owner lingered in the nearby forest. Could this be a better life, knowing most of his remaining years would be committed just surviving while getting a toe hole in the American wilderness? The payoff for the toil and suffering of the pioneer comes from the 'better life' of future generations And so Michael Arbogast came, leaving the hinder land of Baden-W�rttemberg. He put down roots in the heart of the Allegany Mountains, straddling the Eastern North America continental divide in what is now Highland County, VA. Here his family came into existence and prospered, expanding to well over 15,000 descendants, starting with his children. The size of the Michael Arbogast family exceeds what can be included in one volume. As a result it is presented in three volumes. Contents unique to each volume are:Volume One - History of Michael the Man, His immediate family, and the descendants of his oldest son Odessus Adam.Volume Two - The descendants of his children David, Mary Elizabeth, son Michael, and Dorothy.Volume Three - The descendants of his children Henry, Peter, John and GeorgeThis Volume Two is about the descendants of four of his children of Michael and his wife Mary Elizabeth Samuels; David, Mary Elizabeth, son Michael, and Dorothy. The bulk of this volume is a recording of the descendants of these four children, plus interesting side stories about many. This book is about caring for your ancestors. If you don't care then Dr. Price (William Price, author of Historical Sketches, 1901) had it correct, "Persons knowing but little of those gone before is very likely to care but little of those coming after them." And why should you care? Consider this; if you are the product of an emigrant ancestor didn't some not-to-be-forgotten relative prevail over the obstacles so that you might exist. If any thread of your emigrate ancestry had wiggled ever so much from the path they followed you would have experienced an eternity of nonexistence. So why would one not collect the data and honor our ancestors? Thucydides said "Both justice and decency require that we should bestow on our forefathers an honourable remembrance." And the Good Book offers these words "Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. Joel 1:1-3
