    Levi Ward Hancock (Pioneer) mentioned in D&C 52:29 & 124:138 The Posterity of Nathaniel Hancock Nathaniel Hancock Nathaniel Hancock Thomas Hancock John Hancock John Hancock John Hancock Thomas Hancock John Hancock Thomas Hancock (The signer) Levi Ward Hancock (The pioneer) Our immigrant ancestor, Nathaniel Hancock, was the second great-grandfather of John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress and the first Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Nathaniel was also the second great-grandfather of Thomas Hancock, third cousin of President John Thomas had two brothers killed in the War of Independence. He then tried to enlist as a youth, but the officers thought three sons taken from one family was too much. A LOVER OF FREEDOM: Thomas Hancock had a son, Levi Ward Hancock. He was one of the Presidents of the First Council of Seventy, and a faithful Utah pioneer. He, too, was lover of freedom, and also suffered at the hands of the enemies. In the face of violence in Missouri, he wrote a patriotic song one Fourth of July, which his brother, Solomon Hancock, sang at the celebration. In it, there were appealing lines. Then God armed our fathers with power, They told the brave tale to their children, And Washington came to our aid, And told them the same to hand down And in wisdom conducted the battle To their children’s children forever, And soon made the Tories afraid. Until the great trumpet shall sound. Hark, hear how the great battle rages, Exalt then the standard of freedom, Behold him undauntedly stand.

  • December 1979
    PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE We need your help. For years now, the Milo Andrus Family Organization has operated, for the most part, on money submitted by sub- scribers to the Recorder. A subscription to the Recorder for one year amounts to $6.00. This is not enough to finance such a lication and pay the expenses of the genealogical research. We need more money. Surely we have Andrus's with extra "bucs" who could supplement our financial resources with some generous contributions. We know we can't "take it with us." And what better way to spend it than to ferret out the names of our ancestors who are undoubtedly waiting for their temple work to be done. We plead with any of you who have money you could contribute to the Organization to do so. We assure you, it will be well spent. If any of you have ideas about how to generate additional funds, we would appreciate hearing from you. Pooling our resources and working together will be the key to success in our research program. Write to: Alyn B. Andrus, President 64 S. 3rd E. Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Sharon Long, Treasurer Route #1 Box 77 Shelley, Idaho 83274 Let us hear from you. And thanks for your support.

  • Joseph Smith's Polygamy
    Author Meets the Critics: Joseph Smith’s Polygamy by H. Michael Marquardt © 2013 by H. Michael Marquardt Paper for Author Meets the Critics, Joseph Smith’s Polygamy, three volumes, by Brian C. Hales. Presented at the John Whitmer Historical Association 41st Annual Meeting, September 27, 2013, Council Bluffs, Iowa. I appreciate being able to critique Joseph Smith’s Polygamy by Brian Hales. The three volumes comprise over thirteen hundred pages. There is a lot of repetition of quotations throughout the volumes. Since plural marriage is the topic of the volumes it would be appropriate to present a brief historical overview. In Latter-day Saint practice there was a gradual development in the custom of marriage. For the first ten years of its existence the church upheld the practice of one man being married to one wife. This position was published in the first edition of the Doctrine and Covenants printed in the state of Ohio. The article indicates that a marriage should be solemnized in public and states the position clearly: "we believe, that one man should have one wife; and one woman, but one husband."1 In the volumes there are repeated references concerning a girl named Fanny Alger, as a wife of Joseph Smith. One source used is by Mosiah Hancock, who was born in 1834. According to this story his father, Levi Hancock, was to perform a marriage ceremony between Joseph Smith and Fanny Alger.2 Oliver Cowdery, assistant church president, indicated there was a problem with Smith’s association with this girl. Smith, according to Cowdery, went back on his word3 and Cowdery withdrew from the church in 1838.

  • “Pouring in Oil”: the Development of the Modern Mormon Healing Ritual
    Jonathan A. Stapley 11 “Pouring in Oil”: The Development of the Modern Mormon Healing Ritual Though many believe that ritual behavior is rigid and unchanging, ritual behavior is highly innovative and sensitive to cultural changes and norms. Certainly that holds true in Latter-day Saint practice as our rituals often change both in form and meaning in response to new cultural views. Jonathan Stapley examines this aspect of ritual by review- ing the rich history of Latter-day Saint healing rituals. While worthwhile for its historical content, the chapter also demonstrates the value of ritual innovation and the power that may come from recognizing it in order to retain our cultural heritage and move forward in the modern era. —DB But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. (Luke 10:33–34) esus’ parable of the good Samaritan was intended as an illustra- Jtive definition of one’s neighbor and not as a dissertation on healing. Nevertheless, the story incorporates elements of Jesus’ cultural context, Jonathan A. Stapley is an independent historian and is on the Mormon History Associa- tion board. 283 284 Jonathan A. Stapley including the belief that oil was a therapeutic substance as well as food and fuel.1 In the millennia that followed Christ’s response to the clever lawyer, the Christian approach to healing by anointing vacillated greatly.

  • "On the Relations of Canaanite Exploration to Pre-Historic Classic
    176 ON THE RELATIONS OF CANAANITE EXPLORATION These inecriptions, and the bas-reliefs on the monument called Kamna Hurmill, in Crelo-Syria, near the source of the Orontes, and possibly of the same pe1·iod, are an enigma, as yet, to the most learned Orientaliots. It is to be hoped, however, now that attention is again called to the subject, that the clue may be found that shall unlock their meaning, and that Northern 8yI"ia will be no longer overlooked by tho explorer. DISCOVERY AT THE l\IOSQUE EL AKS.A, JERUSALEM.-llo A DISCOVERY of considerable interest has been made in this :Mosque by the Rev. J. Neil, who has only recently gone to Jerusalem for the Society for the Conversion of the Jews. "In the Mosque of El Aksa," he writes, "you will remember that there is a long plain room opening out at the south-east angle, called the Mosque of Omar, in which the only object of interest whatever is a recess supported by two twisted pillars, and called the Mihrab, or Praying-place of Omar. You may, perhaps, remember that the pillars on each side of this recess, of Solomonic twisted pattern and polished marble, appear to have been turned upside down, and to have their capitals of greyish stone in broken leaf-like patterns below. On vi~iting this the day before yesterday, July 5th, I discovered that a great part of the yellowish plaster had been removed from the top of these pillars, and that rich grotesquely carved capitals were exposed to view in an admirable state of preserva­ tion.

Some of them even joined forces with Mormon haters to harass the faithful Saints. The apostates were so mean-spirited that they forced the steadfast members of the Church in Ohio to flee to Missouri in order to escape persecution. This chapter will discuss the events that led to this apostasy. It will also give an account of the members’ mass exodus to Missouri, with special emphasis on their travels along the Mormon thoroughfare of Illinois. The Road to Apostasy The historic background to the “Great Apostasy” in Ohio began soon after the Saints completed construction of the Kirtland Temple in the spring of 1836. At that time, many members turned their attention to improving their Thoroughfare 6.qxp 11/20/2006 11:17 AM Page 80 Marlene C.

  • Mormons and the Ecological Geography Of
    Changes in the West : Mormons and the ecological geography of nationalism by Willard John McArthur A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Montana State University © Copyright by Willard John McArthur (1999) Abstract: Environmental historians have made fruitful endeavors in exploring the ways in which human communities modify the landscapes in which they live. However, nationalism is one area that has exhibited a tremendous influence on the course of modem history, yet has been little studied in its relationship to the environment. This thesis looks at the ways in which nationalism-a sense of connection to the larger nation— has influenced those modifications, and how those modifications have influenced and affected those making changes. This thesis looks to the early Mormon migrants to the West as a case study on how nationalism has influenced environmental change. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this argument relies on the work of intellectual historians of nationalism, environmental historians, geographers, and ecologists\biologists. Using these studies as a framework, this thesis posits a method for identifying nationalized landscapes: recognizing circumscribed landscapes, simplified environments, and lands that are connected spatial and temporally to the larger nation identifies a nationalized landscape. In particular, this thesis looks at fish, trees, and riparian zones as areas of change. Using the identifying markers of circumscription, simplification, and connection has uncovered that Mormons did indeed make changes in the landscape that were influenced by nationalism. These changes made to the land, influenced by nationalism, created a redesigned nature, that in turn influenced human relationships.

  • Konu 4 Lydialılar 1
    ANTİK ÇAĞDA ANADOLU ANATOLIA AT ANTIQUITY KONU 4 LYDİALILAR 1 • Doğu Anadolu’da Urartu, Orta Anadolu’da Frig devletleri yıkılırken batıda Küçük Menderes Irmağı havzasında yeni bir uygarlık ortaya çıkar. Bu uygarlık M.Ö. 690-546 yılları arasında güçlü bir devlet olan Lydia Krallığı’dır. Bu krallık kısa sürede kuzeyde Karadeniz, kuzeybatıda Marmara Denizi, güneyde Lykia kıyıları, batıda Ege kıyıları ve doğuda Kızılırmak (Halys)e kadar olan geniş bir bölgeyi siyasi denetimi altına almayı başarmıştır. Daha dar anlamıyla Anadolu’nun batısında yer alan, güneyi Karia, kuzeyi Mysia, doğusu Frigya, batısı İonya ve Aeolya bölgeleri ile çevrili alana Lydia denmektedir. LYDİA UYGARLIĞI Tarihi Coğrafyası: İlkçağda bugünkü Gediz ve Küçük Menderes vadilerini içine alan bölgeye LYDIA adı verilmekteydi. Lydia ülkesi içinde, doğudan batıya doğru akan, üç ırmak bulunmaktadır: Kaikos (Bakırçay) Hermos (Gediz) Kaistros (Küçük Menderes) *Doğuda Phrygia ile olan sınırı kesin olarak bilinmez iken, *Batıda Lydia’yı Ionia Bölgesi’nden “Magnesia ad Sipylos” (Manisa) kenti ayırır, *Güneyde Lydia’yı Karia Bölgesi’nden Aydın Dağları ayırırken, en güneydeki kent “Tyrha”dır (Tire), *Kuzey sınırında ise Hermos’dan Temnos’a ve oradan da Dindymos’a (Murat Dağları) dek uzanan kesim oluşturur. LYDİA BÖLGESİ’NİN DOĞAL KAYNAKLARI • Hermos ve kolları her zaman yararlanılabilir su kaynaklarıydı; yağmurlar sürekli ve bereketliydi. • Dağlar ormanlarla kaplıydı, Tmolos Dağı üzerinde mermer yatakları vardı ve bu taşlar Lydialılar tarafından heykeltraşlık eserlerinin yapımında kullanılıyordu. • Kil yatakları sayısızdı ve içinde bol miktarda mika bulunan bu kilden yerli Lydia çanak çömleği ile kerpiç ve çatı-süs kiremitleri üretiliyordu. • Lidya maden bakımından da zengin bir bölgedir. Mt.Tmolos'dan gümüs , bakır , boya yapımında kullanılan “arsenik” ile, ilaç yapımında kullanılan “antimon” çıkarılıyordu; bu çağın en önemli ve tek kaynağı olan cıva yatakları vardı ve Lidya'lılar cıva ile metal levhaları gümüşleyip parlatarak ayna yapıyorlardı.
