The children were: John Bartley, born October 6, 1841; Sarah Catherine, born February 18, 1843; James David, born September 19, 1844. These three children were born in Fayette, Alabama while the fourth child, Mary Emma was born March 1, 1846 at Marion, Alabama.

In the Biographical notes compiled by her daughter, Elizabeth Jennett (Smithson) Smith, she states that "her mother was very sick at that time, and one day as she was lying in bed, a strange man entered the room and asked to administer to her. After he had administered to her, he immediately left the room. Father stepped outside to see where the man had gone, and he was nowhere in sight--and he had left but a few seconds before! Mother and Father thought that he was one of the three Nephites.
BIOGRAPHY: "A short time afterwards they moved to San Bernadino, California. After living there about six years, they were called back to Utah, where they settled in Beaver in 1857. In 1858, they were called to go to Dixie in Southern Utah. There Father raised cotton which Mother carded, spun, and wove into cloth on a hand loom. Mother made all the family's clothing--jeans, Father's coats and trousers, and cloth for the children's clothes. She had a large family to care for, eleven sons and three daughters, besides the five children by Allen Freeman Smithson's first wife."

We do not ask you to go if you do not feel satisfied so to do.
BIOGRAPHY: Very respectfully

BIOGRAPHY: Dear Sir:
BIOGRAPHY: I have heard that you are one of the committee for the semi-centennial of the pioneers of Utah. I suppose that I am one of the pioneers. My name is Mary E. Smith. My father's name is Allen Smithson. We stopped at Pueblo for a time and then came on in to Salt Lake valley in 1847, but I was very small then and do not recollect the name of the captain or any dates.
BIOGRAPHY: I will give the names of my father's family that came in with him. My oldest sister Sarah C. Couch. She lives at Muskegee Indian Territory; J. B. Smithson, my oldest brother, lives in San Bernadino, California. I have another brother, J. D. Smithson, living at Woodruff, Navajo county, Arizona. I have a younger brother but he was born in Salt Lake valley. I believe that our captain's name was Brown but I could not say for certain. I have heard my father say that he saw the first adobe made in the valley.

JENNETT BURTON TAYLOR SMITHSONBIOGRAPHY: the daughter of Kenyon and Esther Traywick Taylor written by Elizabeth Jennett Smith
BIOGRAPHY: Jennett Burton Taylor was born in South Carolina, May 2, 1826. and was baptized in the Mormon Church, March 1846, at Nauvoo, Illinois, and stayed with the saints in Winter Quarters one winter. Drove team for Mr. Flake from there to Salt Lake City, Got in Salt Lake in 1847. She worked for Amasa Lyman till she hired by Allen Smithson to keep house having lost his wife and being left with five small children. On Dec. 16, 1849 she married Allen Freeman Smithson in the old Endowment House in Salt Lake City.
BIOGRAPHY: In 1851 she went with her husband to San Bernadino California. In 1857 they were called back to Utah, first settling at Beaver, Utah. Stayed there a short time then they were called to Dixie, in 1858 to help settle the Country. Her husband was called to Pahreah to help settle that country. Her husband Allen F. Smithson was made Bishop of that place till he died September 27, 1877.
BIOGRAPHY: A short time afterward Jennett Smithson took her family into Arizona, first settling in Woodruff they stayed there a few years. They had a very hard time trying to make a living there as their dam was took out by floods. So they went on to Safford, Arizona, and with the help of her son and son-in-law, Robert A. Smith, they built her a nice adobe house consisting of two rooms and later they added more rooms.
BIOGRAPHY: There she lived comfortable and her boys had plenty work freighting. Hauling coke one way and copper the other way to the railroad at Boie, Arizona. The coke went to Globe where they took the copper from the mine. Jennett Smithson, died May 29, 1912, and was buried in the Layton Ward Cemetery.
BIOGRAPHY: My mother, Jennett Taylor told me the first she ever knew of the Mormon Elders was back in the Southern States. They heard that some Mormon Elders were coming to preach to the people, that a man by the name of Joseph Smith had seen an angel, and had talked with him, and he Joseph was to start a church, the name was to be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and the people were all stirred up over it. So mother, and her mother Ester Taylor decided to go to the meeting. They had to walk sixteen miles. They wanted their father to go but he did not go with them but later on he did go but did not like the meeting the way the people did.
BIOGRAPHY: They made a long table and sat the food on it, and ask everyone to come up and help themselves. Her and mother ate but the father would not go up to the table, so he went back home before the preaching was over. Mother said her mother said if she lived she intended to join the Mormon Church as she believed every word that the elders said that she knew it was the Word of God. They both received a testimony at the meeting. But her mother died in a few months. But her oldest sister Louisa, and her husband soon started for Salt Lake City, and mother and a younger sister Gillead started to come with their brother in law, Mr. Wormic, But his team soon gave out. They had to empty their feather beds right out on the ground and they walked most of the way to Winter Quarters. They stayed there one winter and in the spring she drove a team and did chores for a man by the name of Flake to get away to come to Utah.
BIOGRAPHY: She said the first time she saw my father (it was before they got out to Utah). One day the throat latch came undone on the harness. She was getting out of the wagon to fix it, and my father rode up on a horse and told her he would fix it and when he got it fixed he said. "There that will stay until the cows come home."
BIOGRAPHY: She came on to Salt Lake in 1847, and worked out for her living. She worked for the family of Amasa Lyman, when my father lost his first wife, she went to work for him. And on Dec. 16, 1849, she married Allen Freeman Smithson and helped him raise his five children by his first wife. She was the mother of 14 children. Eleven boys and three girls.
BIOGRAPHY: My father was called to the Dixie Country. There he raised cotton and mother carded and spun it into thread, and wove it into cloth on a hand loom, and made all the clothes that her family wore. She wove Janes that made fathers coat and pants and the cloth for the children's clothes. The warp would be of cotton and the filling would be of wool that they would call linsey. What she made the boys shirts out of she called Hickory, a good firm cloth that would stand lots of wear. She made some linsey petticoats when I was a little girl and colored them red. I can remember that day how proud I was of them.
BIOGRAPHY: Mother worked very hard never having a minute to spare. She was bothered with Arecipilis. I have seen her head and face swollen many times until she didn't look natural. When her first son was born in Salt Lake City in 1850 she had this disease and was very sick. She said one Sunday morning the children were all out of the house and my father was attending to the house work. There was a knock came at the door and my father went to the door and there was a queer looking man, and he ask him in. And he looked back at the bed where mother was lying and ask my father if she was sick, and wanted to know if he could administer to her and father ask her what about it, and she did not like his looks. But father insisted she would let him. He laid his hands on her head and Blessed her and told her she would never die with araciplis, and would soon be well, and he went. My father said afterward he thought he was one of the old ancient prophets. When Mother died at the age of 80, she died with a bowel complaint, so the old gentlmens word came true.
BIOGRAPHY: She died May 29,1912.

BIOGRAPHY: JENNETT BURTON TAYLOR SMITHSON
BIOGRAPHY: 1826 - 1912
BIOGRAPHY: by Cora B. Smithson Ransom, Grand-daughter, October 1963.
BIOGRAPHY: Jennett Burton Taylor was born in South Carolina, May 2, 1826. She was the daughter of Kenyon Taylor and Esther Traywick; she was from a family of 13 children, 5 boys and 8 girls.
BIOGRAPHY: Later she moved with her father's family to Alabama, hence to Mississippi; it was here she heard of Joseph Smith and the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. It was through the missionaries she with her mother and some of her sisters heard the gospel preacher in 1845. In later years she recall's "After attending meetings held by the missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with my mother and other members of my family, we were favorably impressed.
BIOGRAPHY: Before we had a chance to join the church, my mother was thrown from a horse and died from the injuries the 28th of May, 1845.
BIOGRAPHY: "In the spring of 1846 the Saints were gathering in a camp in preparations for going West and joining the main body of the church. My sister Louisa had already, along with her husband Thomas Warrick, joined the church and my sister Gilead had already joined them at the camp. I was undecided about leaving the rest of my family and joining the church. After going to bed one night, I prayed thusly, "Dear God, if there be a God, give me a sign if the Church is true and tell me if I should go west with the Saints. A light came into the room and in that light was a personage, he said, "yes, the Church is true but is wrong to ask for signs. Yes, you should join the Church and go West with the Saints, if you don't go now you will never have a chance to go, as there will be wars and pestilence which would keep you from going". "I gathered some of my belongings, also some keepsakes of my mother's, and joined the Saints at the camp. I was baptized in the Mississippi River May 1846, and we went on as far as Council Bluffs, Iowa where the main body of the Church spent some time in preparing to go on West and taking their turn in crossing the plains. This place was called Winter Quarters." (Personal testimony and experience as told to her grand-daughter Etta Smithson Boggs).
BIOGRAPHY: Jennette worked for James M. Flake and family, she did the family work and drove a team all the way to Salt Lake Valley, enduring all the hardships incident to such a journey.
BIOGRAPHY: The following paragraph was taken from "The Life of Amasa M. Lyman." On the 30th of June 1848, a company of 500 or more people started away in a long, slowly moving wagon train from Winter Quarters to the West, arriving in Salt Lake Valley 17th of October. James M. Flake was made Captain of hundreds, under him were placed Captains of 50's and 10's. They traveled in two companies, one by Willard Richards.
BIOGRAPHY: Jennett settled in Cottonwood, after working in several homes, including that of Amasa M. Lyman, she worked in the home of Allen Freeman Smithson, who had lost his first wife, Letisha, leaving him with five small children. December 16, 1849, she married Allen, and the 27th of February 1851 they went to the endowment house in Salt Lake and received their endowments and were sealed for time and all eternity by President Brigham Young. Jennett was the mother of fourteen children, eleven boys and three girls. She also raised and cared for her husbands five children by his previous marriage and she also raised two of her grand-daughters, Burton and Etta, daughters of her son Charles William, who had lost his first wife, their mother.
BIOGRAPHY: On the 11th of March, 1851, Jennett went with her husband and many of the Mormon Pioneers under the leadership of Amasa M. Lyman and Charles E. Rich, across a most horrible desert to South California to establish an LDS colony. They established the City of San Bernadino. Here they lived and worked hard for about seven years. Six of her children were born there. They were called back to Utah and the main body of the Church on account of the threat of Johnston's Army to wipe the Mormons off the face of the earth. They left San Bernadino the 24th of November 1857. They stopped in Beaver where they lived for a short time.
BIOGRAPHY: They were called again to Dixie or Washington, Utah. The people from the Southern States being more familiar with cotton raising and cloth-making were put in charge of the Cotton Farms under the direction of the Church. The man folks raised the Cotton and the women folks carded, spun and wove the cloth, besides making all the clothing for their families.
BIOGRAPHY: The next call came by letter to her husband, dated 5 December 1871, signed by Apostle Erastus Snow, asking them to go with others to establish a settlement on Pahreah Creek in Kane County, Utah. They accepted the call, leaving their home and many friends in Washington, removed to that isolated spot in the rugged beauty of wind swept desert cliffs and sun-soaked, thirsty gullies and ravines.
BIOGRAPHY: Here they worked hard and served well for the good of the people, and building up the country. Her husband Allen F. was the first presiding Elder and Bishop serving until his death on the 27th of September 1877.
BIOGRAPHY: Jennett was among the first of the church members to do Temple work for her kindred dead, when the St. George Temple was opened in 1877. She and family stayed on in Pahreah until the fall of 1884 when their next move was to Woodruff, Arizona, where they stayed until October 1886, when they pioneered again to the Gila Valley, in the South Eastern part of the state, locating at Layton. Her sons did freighting, before the railroad was built, they hauled coal one way and copper the other way to the railroad in Bowie, Arizona.
BIOGRAPHY: Jennett left this earthly life the 29th of May, 1912, at the age of 86.

Thus James Edward helped doing these things plus digging ditches for irrigation of their fields and gardens. (Grandma Smith told on many occasions how plentiful the grass and shrubs were in early pioneer days in the region of the Pahreah River Valleys). There always were morning and evening chores to do like gathering wood for fuel for both warmth and cooking, getting timber and saw logs to build homes, sheds and corrals. The women and girls did much weaving and making of clothes, bedding, ect.. James Edward learned from his father's way-of-life how to pack and unpack the possessions as the family moved from place to place.

BIOGRAPHY: Thomas (Tommy) Smith owned many cattle and some horses while he lived at Pahreah, Utah. Grandpa Tommy traded a pinto pony to the Indians for the Smith Ranch and meadows. The Ranch became the Summer range for his livestock. Winter range was South nearer to Pahreah. Tommy, with members of his family, traveled back and forth between these two areas (Henrieville and Pahreah) as they cared for the livestock. During those first years of traveling back and forth there were no settlements between the two places. By 1877 or 1878 Henrieville was settled by James Thompson and four sons, also three Littlefield brothers.
BIOGRAPHY: Twenty-three families once resided in Pahreah. When floods in the Pahreah Creek began cutting away the fertile town sight, families gradually moved, some up the creek to the North and helped settle towns in the Bryce Valley area as it is called today. Henrieville was one of those towns.
BIOGRAPHY: (Years later James Edward Smith Jr. and his wife Nellie owned what was left of that fertile soil at Pahreah. In the Summer months he with his wife and children cultivated the ground there. What tasty watermelons were grown there and also vegetables).
BIOGRAPHY: I, Virginia, wife of Barton Henry Smith, the twenty-sixth child of James Edward Sr., heard Elizabeth Jennett tell this story. Stealing by the Indians was a common thing. Elizabeth said, "Once the Indians stole all the milk cows and domestic animals. Jacob Hamblin, the Indian Peace Maker, was notified about the incident. Hamblin called on the men to help search for and retrieve the stolen animals. She said her brother Nephi Smithson and James Edward Smith Sr. were two called, along with others, to help this posse get back the animals."
BIOGRAPHY: James Edward Smith Sr. was an Elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon Church). He and Elizabeth were married in the St. George Temple.
BIOGRAPHY: A little record book of Elizabeth's says, "James Edward was five feet, six inches tall, weighed 200 pounds, black hair, and blue eyes.
BIOGRAPHY: Farming and cattle raising were his specialty. Death came because of a Stroke." In later years of his life, I am told, his hair went gray or white and he reached 220 pounds in weight.
