As the search progressed, the interesting character of the informa­ tion found and the ever-increasing difficulty in obtaining original data brought the realization that some one should endeavor to gather together whatever records were available. Dr. Charles Mason Fuson was perhaps the first }.,uson of the Vir­ ginia-Ohio Branch to make any detailed effort to collect Fuson history. Data collected about 1913 was burned, with his other effects, in a warehouse fire while Dr. Fuson was overseas during his service in the World \Var. He was never able to reassemble his information. Mr. H. H. Fuson of the Virginia-Kentucky Branch was collect­ ing Fuson history ten or twelve years before Dr. C. M. Fuson. Mr. H. H. Fuson has collaborated with this author in gathering material, endeavoring especially to trace the Kentucky~ rrennessee and Missouri Branches while this author followed the Virginia-Ohio Fusons. By determined, tedious and persistent effort, records have been collected. Many letters and questionaires sent out went unanswered. In some cases data was obtained from other sources, believed fairly accurate. In the matter of dates, members of the same family some­ times differed. When this happened, dates given by members quoting frorn family Bible, or for other reasons seemingly authoritative, were used. It is our sincere hope that such as have been collected meet reasouable expectations for accuracy and completeness. The author has rnade every effort to reproduce accurately the information furnished her but assun1es no responsibility for inaccuracies. It is our great dis­ appointment that many have been indifferent to, or neglected answering illquiries. As with any other project of human beings, we have had most encouraging as well as discouraging experiences. The effort has required endless research and correspondence, with infinite patience. Probably no one who has not compiled a work of this character can conceive of the enorn1ity and details of the task. 'rhere are so many who have been deeply interested in this history of their family, and who ha.ve so gladly and generously aided, that I hesitate to list them, lest others equally interested and helpful be 1'he VirginiarOhio I!'usons 01nitted.

We hope for your appreciation of this effort to collect an authentic family history. We beg that you reserve criticism until you have tried such an undertaking and have faced the discouraging facts of faulty and changing addresses and the indifference or procrastination tllat leaves probably one half our letters unanswered. Th€ Virginia-Ohio Fusons 3 CHAPTER ONE ' . .' . ~aith's Inspiration When trembling faith aspires to rise, And gird with power, which God supplies, · The faithful soul that's tried; Then passing strange, and yet how true, ,v hich way to go, and what to do, The little things decide. By George Parker Fuson from ''Broken Links United", Ch. 14. FUSO.NIA From pedigrees held by Fusons in England, we learn that the Fusons came from Norway to the Free City of Dantzig on the Baltic Sea. It is supposed that they trekked across what is now Germany and came to England about 1600. The first definite record found there is of Anna Fuscham, buried October 13, 1682. The majority of Eng­ lish Fusons were farmers who farmed their own land, but others were soldiers, Bishops, and a noted novelist named "Sarah Grand." Many of the Fusons were buried in the chancel of Welwick Church, not far from Hull, England.. Evidently some of the Fuson emigrants from Dantzig tarried in England but a short time, then proceeded to join other adventurers across the sea to America. Henry Fleet owned land in Lancaster County, Virginia, on Fleet's Bay as early as 1652. He had several Land Patents granted to him for transporting a number of persons to the colonies-among them a Fuson. In. .1663-64 we find Fewson and Fustin in Charles City County, Vir- g1n1a. In the early centuries sound proved more important than spelling, so the name Fuson appears with variations of Fuscham, Fustin, Few­ son, Fewston, Fuston and Fussen. In a letter from F. Fewson Ayre of Hull, England, included among letters in this volume, is stated that the Fuson name in Norway was Lidenson. In southern

Niedostateczna wydaje się jednak świadomość zróżnicowania dogma- tycznego i organizacyjnego wspólnot, które wyrosły na gruncie organizacji, którą 6 kwietnia 1830 r. powołał Joseph Smith Jr. Takie zagadnienia jak ciągłość objawienia, poligamia, po- glądy rasowe czy stosunek do homoseksualizmu wyznaczają dynamikę tego nurtu w jego rozwoju i obecnym kształcie. Artykuł stanowi próbę rekonstrukcji historycznych podziałów w łonie mormonizmu z uwzględnieniem ich wpływu na stan obecny tego nurtu religijnego.1 Słowa kluczowe: Joseph Smith Jr., Kościół Jezusa Chrystusa Świętych w Dniach Ostat- nich, mormonizm, poligamia Kościół Jezusa Chrystusa Świętych w Dniach Ostatnich [The Church of Je- sus Christ of Latter-day Saints] jest niewątpliwie jedną z najprężniej działają- cych organizacji religijnych w dzisiejszym świecie. Powołany 6 kwietnia 1830 r. przez Josepha Smitha Jr., pierwotnie jako Kościół Chrystusa [Church of Christ], zmienił następnie nazwę na Kościół Świętych w Dniach Ostatnich [The Church of Latter-day Saints], by ostatecznie przyjąć nazwę przedstawioną na wstępie. Interesujące jest, że już za prezydentury Josepha Smitha dochodziło do licznych rozłamów w organizacji kościelnej. Żadna z tych wspólnot nie przetrwała do dnia dzisiejszego. Niemniej jednak każdy z odłamów, jakie powstały zarówno za życia założyciela mormonizmu, jak i po jego śmierci, odwoływał się do ko- rzeni i uznawał siebie za prawowitego spadkobiercę idei Smitha.
