AND AMANDA CATHERINE OYLER whose humilitv. faith and v.rorks have had a profound influence upon the lives of their man\' descendants. ~?~~?~~~~~~~~~~c;==-;.~~~J'~lf~ INTRODtTCTION For the past seven years I have been deeply interested in genealogical work. In searching out the pedigrees of various ancestors, I became highly interested in the life of my great-grandfather, Dr. Anderson Irvin Grigg. I do not know just when I became inspired to collect the family rec­ ords of the doctor's ancestors and descendants and compile them into a book with anecdotes, pictures and history for the benefit of his ever increasing posterity-many of whom owe their opportunities of living in this choice western land to this valiant, wise and farsighted little doctor. Dr. Grigg and his sons and daughters were not num­ bered among the earliest pioneers of Utah. But, like many other Mormon families, theY were in the frontier settlements reclaiming the arid land, e{1during the hardships and priva­ tions of pioneer living; fighting against cold, disease, inade­ quate housing, poor rations and meagre clothing. The lack of proper tools and mechanical power did not stay them from hueing down the timber, tilling the soil and building homes. If it had not been for the Church with its Ward organiza­ tions, pioneering as it was known in Utah, and later in Idaho and Oregon, would have been intolerable. In these organiza­ tions the people worked together, played together, worshiped God and tried to live His Gospel. They were able to make their own amusements, sports, jobs, and to help one another in financial need and sorrow. The ~formon Church can not be classed with the Catholic ( paganized christianity) nor with the Protestant group ( reformed Catholicism) for it is the revealed Church of Jesus Christ established in these latter days by the Lord through the Prophet Joseph Smith for the restoration of the ten lost tribes of Israel. It has all the simple ordinances of the Primitive Church with Apostles, Prophets, Elders, Priests, Teachers and Deacons. The gifts of healing, revelations, prophecy and others were again bestowed upon the believer. Like the early Israel organizations there is no paid min- YI l :\"TRODliCTIO:\" isb·y. Nearly every man and hoy over twelve years of age holds the Priesthood of God. The Priesthood ( not priest­ craft) held by Adam, Abraham, :\loses and the Prophets of old. The Priesthood held by the Apostles in the time of Christ. The Priesthood that was restored to the Prophet Joseph in modern times. It is the Lord's Authority to His people to act in His Name. It is the power by which God and His Son, Jesus Christ, created this world and other worlds without end. It is the secret of life itself. There is no :\Iormon familv, then or now, that cannot tell of miracles of healing perfa'rmed in their homes by the Elders of the Church. The Elders were called upon often to heal the sick and injured in the pioneering days-for doc­ tors were few and far between. In manv homes the father can restore his loved ones to health h~: the power of his Priesthood. Healing the sick by anointing with oil and the laying on of hands is a God-given gift. There is no mystery. The secret is in having the power to transfuse needed life-giving substances and energies-from the ones doing the administer­ ing-into the body of the afflicted one in the ~ ame of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Ghost. When an Elder feels the strength lift up out of him, he knows the afflicted one is healed. Likewise Christ felt the sb·ength and virtue leave him, when, in the press of the multitude, the invalid woman touched the hem of his gar­ ment and was healed by her own faith. When Dr. Grigg accepted the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the gift of healing the sick was bestowed upon him. His sons and a great many of his grandsons and great-grandsons were blessed with the ~ift of healing the sick and afflicted. Instances of some of the miracles performed which are set forth in this book are not given to the world in a spirit of boasting, but rather in the spirit of testimony, that the de­ scendants of these humble men mav know of the faith and works of their fathers. · It will be noted that various ones in this volume refer to their Pah·iarchal Blessing. The stranger and the non­ :\Iormon will inquire "What is a Patriarchal Blessing?" For 1:-.TRODlXTIO:\" vii their information it is a blessing given by prophecy and revelation from God through one, a Pah·iarch, set apart in the Church with this special calling. One must live worthily to receive one and to fulfill it afterwards. The Patriarch only indicates the gifts the Lord would give us. To look upon him as a fortune-teller is an offense against the Priest­ hood . .\ly own Patriarchal Blessing, received in my forty-fifth year, gives the promise that I will perform a great mission in bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to my parent's kindred­ both living and dead-and to many others, and that light and truth shall shine forth from my person. It is my prayer that this book will he instrumental in helping to fulfill the pronuse. It is not the intent of this book to feature political pre­ ferment nor religious prejudice. Nor is it designed to be merely a church genealogical record. The object in view has been to portray the characteristic family traits and give the \·,u-ious achievements of the families in an accurate record. However, it is significant that those individuals and families, who like Dr. Grigg, have kept the commandments of God, and have tried to live up to the teachings of the Prophets and Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-often enduring the taunts and ridicule of their neighbors-have been magnified with knowledge and spirituality beyond understanding. And in most cases they have heen endowed with a large posterity and, often as not, they have acquired much wealth and worldy goods. While many of those who have opposed the Church have dwindled awav in unbelief to live narrow thwarted lives minus the fulh~ess of joy found in participating in the work of the Lord, their descendants have grown up with­ out a full knowledge of the Gospel-though many have the innate desire to know more about it. It has taken hours, davs, weeks, months and vears of letter writing, interviewing the older generations, b·avel, and research, in order to write the personality sketches, compile the genealogical data, and edit the material sent in. Some have responded with their records, pictures, and family viii l:\'TRODUCTIO:',; history promptly while others have been negligent in doing so. It is not our intention to slight any one, hut, where much has been received much can be given. There may be some mistakes in spelling of names and copying of dates due to the illegibility of some of the mate­ rial sent in. 1 MARCH 1954 CLEO Gmcc JOHNSON CONTENTS Triadic Origin of Name ------------------------:--·---··----------------------- 1 Gregg, Grigg, Griggs Colonial Heads in America ____________ 3 \\"illiam Gregg the Quaker ------------···---···-----·-·--·--··--·-------·--· 5 .\loses Gregg or Grigg ---------------------------·--····--·-·--·--·-·--------·-- 7 \Yilliarn A.

    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html.

  • Race, Gender, Nation and the Criminalization of Polygamy In
    “What’s love got to do with it?” Race, Gender, Nation and the Criminalization of Polygamy in Canada and the United States. By Anastasia Alexopoulos A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Gender Studies In conformity with the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August 2020 Copyright © Anastasia Alexopoulos 2020 ABSTRACT This project interrogates the weaponization of heteronormative marriage in processes of state formation and in relation to practices of polygamy. This dissertation explores how gender and race have been used at the service of the white settler-colonial state via the criminalization of polygamy; and, the role of law, policy, and science in the contemporary construction and perpetuation of normative gender roles and racial hierarchies which rely on the primacy of monogamous marriage and the criminalization of polygamy to remain coherent. Engaging with bodies of theoretical work that highlight how polygamy has been and continues to be utilized in a myriad of processes including normative constructions of the family, nation building, the state and citizenship; race and racism; sexuality; and gender equality, this dissertation investigates and interrogates struggles over the meaning and representation of polygamy at the intersection of history, law, and culture. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have been working on this dissertation for over a decade and I could not thank every person who made this possible because that list would be as long as the dissertation itself. If I don’t thank you individually here please know that I am beyond thankful for every coffee, dinner, park visit, walk, car ride, email, and text message.

He married Ivy Thomas on 11 October 1916, in the Salt Lake Temple and they were the parents of three boys and one girl. Roy served as stake clerk under the administration of five stake presidents for a total of fifty-four years. Called to serve in this position on 28 July 1918, he was finally released 12 March 1972. He left behind an impressive legacy. Without his notes and ledgers the history of the Morgan Stake would not have been possible. In one set of papers he has collected the names and dates of the ordinations of every person who served in a ward or a stake priesthood position since 1918. For example, Roy has listed the names of every man who served on the high council from 1918 to 1972—a total of one hundred and one. Roy died 9 February 1988, at the home of his son in Bountiful. He was a faithful member of the Church ofjesus Christ of Latterday Saints of whom it is written: "For he who is faithful and wise in time is accounted worthy to inherit the mansions prepared for him of my Father."

The two following monographs are memorials of these two distinguished families. Mr. Simon Lynde, father of Judge Nathaniel Lynde, removed from London to Boston in 1650. The family-records that he brought over, or received after his emigration, enabled his son Chief Justice Benjamin Lynde, and his grandson the second Chief Justice Benjamin Lynde, to compile the valuable notes which were the foundation of our Lynde and Digby investigations. He left these records with his immediate family in three forms : on the back of an escutcheon, in an old Bible, and on an old chart-pedigree. "The date of the former is 1740 [several years before the death of the elder Chief Justice]. The younger Judge was the antiquary of the family, and got much of his information from his father, who was living at the time the record on the escutcheon was made, so that what we know of the family, traditionally, came from the elder Judge." 1 a The oldest records extant are found in a Bible printed in 1 595- It 1 Private Letter from Dr.

Unfortunately, buildings and other meeting locations have never been large enough to accommodate all Saints who desired to attend. Accommodating the Saints at General Conference Paul H. Peterson ur buildings are very commodious,” Elder Joseph W. McMurrin of the Quorum of Seventy told assembled Saints at an outdoor general con - ference meeting, “but entirely too small to accommodate the people who desire to hear the word of God. Even in this over flow meeting,” he added, “notwithstanding the chilliness of the weather this morning, the people are anxious to come and hearken to the counsels that may be imparted.” ₁ Elder McMurrin was speaking to hundreds of Saints who, unable to find seating in the Tabernacle for a Sunday morning session of conference, had assembled in a tent adjacent to the Bureau of Information on Temple Square to hear speakers address gospel topics. The year was , but Elder McMurrin’s remark would have struck a chord familiar to Church mem - bers in both previous and subsequent generations.
