  • Ancestry and Descendants of William Henrie, the “Heir” and Progenitor of the Henrie Families of Utah
    ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM HENRIE 1799—1883 by Manetta (Prince) Henrie (Revised, Updated and Reprinted by Ryan Henrie) Published 1954 Provo, Utah DEDICATION: To the younger generation and those who come after, this history of the WILLIAM HENRIE FAMILY is dedicated. PREFACE This volume includes data which the author has found and recorded on the ancestry and descendants of William Henrie, the “heir” and progenitor of the Henrie families of Utah. Much time and effort have been expended in the stupendous task of compiling this history. It seems to have been the custom of members of the general Henry family, in Scotland and elsewhere, to write the surname as “Henarie,” as Michael, the emigrant ancestor from Scotland, signed his name. Other common ways of spelling the name were “Hendry,” “Henery,” “Henry,” and “Henrie.” In America, there are thirty-two various spellings of the name. Host of the later records in this book, genealogical and biographical, were received from members of the family. The data were conscientiously checked and compared with every available source; but it is difficult to write history covering the activities and biographies of different members of any family and not have some part of it conflict with that written by others, no matter how painstakingly the material has been gathered. Family history is interesting, but not always accurate. If there are errors, it is hoped that the family will not disdain to appreciate the product as a whole. If more apace has been devoted to one individual than another, it is because more information was submitted.

Chase expressed the opinion that such noticeable letters were tacky. Jones and other students began looking for alternatives and came up with the idea of a block letter that could be lighted for special occasions, but which would be invisible the rest of the year.

    ljj A HISTORY OF . ---- - Allen D. Roberts A HISTORY OF Sanpete I Albert C.T. Antrei Allen D. Roberts -1a Sanpete County is regarded by many as thegw,,laalld' "Heart of Utah"-not just because of its cen- tral geographical location in the state but also because of its treasure trove of historic build- ings and its role in fostering the settlement of nearby valleys. Mormon pioneers arrived in Sanpete Valley in late 1849 to share the area with the San Pitch Utes. Difficulties arose, leading to two major confrontations-the Walker War in the 1850s and the Black Hawk War in the 1860s. The area's Native Ameri- cans eventually were relocated to the Uintah Indian Reservation. -.-"b+sstmFa Among the early Mormon arrivals%&!"a large number of Scandinavian converts, bringing a heritage still important in the county. Protestant missionaries came in the 1870s and established churches and schools, includingWasatch Academy at Mount Pleas- ant. Snow College in Ephraim began as a LDS institution before becoming a state-operated college. The crown jewel of Sanpete County's architectural heritage is the Manti LDS Temple, completed in 1888. Its grounds are the stage for the Mormon Miracle Pageant, which attractsthousands ofvisitors each sum- mer. First known for its grain products, then for its sheep, today turkeys are the staple of Sanpete's agricultural economy.
