Joseph Willis Huey b. ABT 1843

shanblan44 — 2009-04-23 01:37:39Z

This is my brick wall. I am looking for information on Willis or Joseph Huey. Not 100% sure of his name. My grandfather thought it might be Willis.
Willis Joseph Huey was born abt 1843 or 1846 in Alabama and died sometime before 1900 in Colorado. I was told this story by my grandparents (Wallace was Josephs grandson): "Joseph was good at geology. He migrated to Colorado and worked in mines. He had been called away to work in another mine and was never seen or heard from again. The family returned to Lindale, TX. He is listed with his family on the 1885 Mesa Colorado census. His wife Clementine is listed on the 1900 census in Lindale, Smith, Texas as a widow."
Facts are: (1) listed as Joseph Hewey on 1880 US Census in Tom Green County, Texas (age 37) with Clementine and 2 children. (2) Listed as J H Huey on 1885 Colorado State Census with N C Huey and children. (3)Listed as W. H. Hughey on marriage certificate to Narcissus Clementine Fleming Apr 29, 1871. (4) Listed as Willis Huey on Lillie June Huey Thomas (daughter) Death Certificate. (5) Listed as Joe Huey on Gussie Lee Huey (son) death certificate.
(6) Had 6 children: William Amos Huey b. 1874, Carrie Ola Huey (Goodman) b. 1879, Lillie June Huey (Thomas) b. 1885, Gussie Lee Huey b. 1887, Dasie Huey (Vaughn) b.1883, Thomas "TT" Huey b.1881.
If anyone has any information about this Willis or Joseph or William Huey Please email me at shanblan4@gmail.com

dennischap_1 — 2006-12-09 14:43:36Z

=======================
Grand Valley Times 1911-11-03 Page 1
MRS. MATHIAS MARTIN DIES SUDDENLY AT RICHARDSON:

Mrs. Luanna Martin, wife of former Commissioner Mathias Martin, died suddenly of paralysis at the Martin home in Richardson, last night. Several minutes prior to her death she was apparently in the best of health and spirits, and was playing with her little grand-daughter Ethel, daughter of Mrs. Lurana Martin, and her sudden death came unexpectedly and without warning. Mrs. Martin had been slightly afflicted with paralysis for several years.

Mrs. Martin was formerly Miss Luanna Gibson, and was one of the first pioneers of Moab and Grand county. After her marriage with ex-Commissioner Martin, she has resided at Richardson. She is survived by her husband and three children, Ed Taylor, Mrs. Laura Maxwell and Miss Minnie Martin.

Funeral services will be held at the family home at Richardson. Mr. Martin is an Odd Fellow of the Moab lodge.

Mrs. Martin was one of those pioneer women whom all honor and respect. She was one of those who have endured the hardships of pioneer life, in order that the way may be smoothed for those who live after. To the bereaved husband and family is extended the sympathy of their host of friends.

Polly Taylor, daughter of Norman Taylor was born 1859 in Utah. She married 3 times, looking for birth & death dates for her husbands.
1. John Gaines married before 1883- had dau, Elberta in 1883
2. John Graham married about 1885, they had a son Frank born Moab in 1893

Any information would be of help.

Elberta Gaines married Robert Clark about 1904 in Moab and had 4 children born there: Jesse, Mona, Ethel and John Henry. Maybe some of their decendants are still there.

How many: "Daughter of Utah Pioneers" vol I, II, III, IV? 1987?

Dixiebells — 2006-06-03 20:58:38Z

Anyone currently living in Moab, Utah: Has the "Daughter of Utah Pioneers" published any books since 1987? I have Books I, II, II, are there any others?

Polly Taylor & husbands

jennyology1 — 2006-06-03 20:56:19Z

I have some information on these people as my husband is a descendant of Polly Taylor. In my records the first husband is listed as Frank Gaines. He was born in Arkansas in 1859. He married Polly and shortly thereafter he disappeared. Court documents years later show he went to Colorado and Polly was trying to get a divorce so she could marry again. She then married John Graham and had a son with him, Frank.
Email me for more information.

James E. Cooley (b. 1907 CO)

2006-06-03 20:54:45Z

request RE. James Ed Cooley. The person you refer to as James Ed Cooley was born in Grand Jct Colo. in 1907 to William Issac Cooley and Mary Morrison Vanhorne. They owned a large ranch in Castle Valley Utah. James was raised there. by his parents. he attended Utah State U. ----Graduated from Grand county High school so I do not think there is much possibility he is the person you seek.. as I am certain he was not sent to be raised by his grandparents. also his father William Issac Cooley left his home in missouri at about the age 15 and worked as drover on cattle drives from Texas to Wyoming until he joined a company of Gold miners to explore Colorado and Utah mines he homesteaded 640 acres in Castle valley utah. and became involved in the local politics of grand county.

James Edward Cooley, son of William I. Cooley

2006-06-03 20:52:28Z

Hi,

My grandfather's name is James Edward Cooley. His fathers name was William Cooley, and he grew up in Pelzer SC. My grandfather does not know much about his family because his parents sent him to live with his grandmother at age 3. I was wondering if there is any connection.

Maurice Eli & Josephine Edna Murphy Edwardson family photo

margastra — 2006-06-03 20:48:55Z

Josephine was born in MOAB 23 Dec 1920, parents Wm. John Murphy + Edna May Webb, and married Maurice Edwardson in Grand Junction, Mesa, Colorado in 1938. Their oldest son Maurice (+ possibly more children) was born in Moab in 1939. The family moved to Portland, Oregon before 1950. Maurice Sn's father is my husband's granduncle, Lawrence Edwardson, who emigrated from Norway in 1910. Information in the IGI would indicate that Maurice + Josephine may have belonged to the LDS church. So do some relatives in Norway. The boy on the front left is probably Maurice Sn. Greetings from Norway.

teressa_lenkey — 2005-09-18 05:50:34Z

I looked at all four pages of Cisco for 1900 and they are all Japan men working for the railroad. If you'd like copies of these pages let me know and I'll e-mail them. Maybe she was just visiting the area rather then family. There are a lot of Indian art on the canyon walls etc.

Let me know,

I am looking for Doug Bridges who lived in Moab, Grand County, Utah in 1996. His wife, Ruth, passed away in Moab 22 MAY 1996. Doug and Ruth lived at 390 Marcus Ct.

Doug was a communications officer on oil tankers running between Valdez, Alaska and Long Beach California. I ask anyone knowing Doug's present whereabouts to email me. Thanks, Gene Floyd, Midland, Texas.

Will I. Morrison

Sunkistpm — 2004-03-18 22:14:35Z

Will I. Morrison married Mary K. VanHorn in Grand Co in 1899. They moved back to Mesa Co CO for a time because their only child was born there. They were divorced by 1905. Then, Mary K. married again to William I Cooley in Moab, and remained there. Laura Lillian Morrison, her dau, married Theodore Leonard Byer 1918 in Moab.

Mary and Wm Cooley then had a son named James Edward Cooley. I am looking for connections to these two families. Most importantly, the Morrison line. Can anyone shed some light on this information? Thanks!

Gerry Dalton & Blanche Ann Philipps (~1917)

LDalton22 — 2005-04-26 17:01:13Z

I am looking for Gerry Dalton who lived around Moab, Grand County, Utah for a time in his life. It would have been around the time of his marriage, 1917. He was married to Blanche Ann Philipps in 1917, who was a school teacher in the Moab area around that time. I am not sure how long they lived there, but he died only 20 years later in Colorado Springs, CO. His death certificate says that he was born in Ohio, but no county or city are listed.

Thanks, would like copies
