5 Gathering with the Saints. 1838

An early n:vclation givcn 10 the Prophet JO!iC:ph Smith in the presence of si~ elders of the Church proc:laimcd:

And yc are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elcct: for mine elect hear my voice and harden 1101 tiK:ir beans:

WiK:refon: the decree hath gone fonh from the Father that they Mlall be gathered in unto ooc place upon the face of the land. to prepare their heans and be prepared in all things against tbot day when tribulation and desolation are sent forth upon lhe wicked. I

Ila\'ing sold their Churchyille fann fOt founecn hundred dollars laIC tbe pn:yious year, l1Ieodore and Frances preparW in the !pring of 1838 10 gather with tiK: saints. J

The Church had been fonnally organi7.ed in New YorK Slate in 1830, but the saints had encountered per!iCCutions that made their tcnure in that state difficult. That year, a revelation had led to the cal ling of miuionaries to preach to the lamanites. as the Book of Mormon called the Native Americans, The same revelation declared that the city of Zion, the gathering place of the saints. would be built "on the borders by the l.amanites.") The missionaries traveled to Missouri . which by revelation in 1831 , was designaled 11$ "tiK: land ... appointed and consecrated fOt Ihe gathering of the saints .. , the land of promise. and the place fOt the city of Zion."'

En route to Missouri, the missionaries to the Lamanites had stopped in l'arley P. Prall's former ncighbortlOod in Ohio, when: !;()()II hundreds received the joyous message alld joined the Church.! Befon: Missouri was identified as the land of Zion, lilt saims wen: commanded to "assemble together at the OI1io: a lempornry gathering placc: ." The tov.·n of Kinland. OI1io,

became the headquaners for tile Chun:h in amicipalion of tile building 0( a ltmple in the oenter place of Zion. which was declared to be Independence, Jackson COI.Imy, Mi5'louri . '

Before 1000g. however, mobs drove thc saints from Jackson County. Kinland , rrn:anwhile, became the designated spoI for anOlher temple , which was dedicatcd in March 1836 and became a place of great spiritual blessings for tile saints, ' By late 1837 when 'llIe«Iore vi$itcd Kinland, tile town was Slil! the Church 's headquaners. but apoSIasy, persa;utiOll , ind pol itical and CCOIlOOl ic Slrife wen: making it an unromfOl'Ulble place for faithful saints 10 li,-e. When Theodore and Franccs firSl sold their fann , they may have intended to gather to Kinland, bul by the tilllC they aoo their fam ily departed from the Toronto area in the spring of 1838, Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, and OIhcr prominem Church memben had Oed the region and begun gathering in the vicinity of a new Church headquarters at Far WeS! , Caldwell County, Missouri."

According to his own accounl , llIeodore "conlinued preaching lill we wem up 10 Kirtland & from thence to Mosurria IMissouri1. "'G Finally, lhe day arrived. and Theodore would laler record . " I with my famely lefl Toronto Ulpper ] qanada ] for Colwell Coumy Far WeSl ." Theodore wrocc that he and his fam ily "Started wilh 1"'0 wagoos & fou r hooes, " bUI they did ~ lra\'el alon;: , l1Ieodore ~ifically named four OIher men and their fam ilies who lraveled in the company." One was Elder John Snyder. who had been one of the ori, illli missionaries 10 England and with whom Theodore undoubtedly discussed the work thaI was going 011 lhere. " Ano\her was AlmOIl Whiting Babbin. a missionary who had been serving III Canada alld who would later become a ,,·cll ·known poli tician in early Ulah before his massacre 31 tlie hands of Indians. Babbin was apparently the leader of the emigram group of which Theodore. Frances. and their family wen: a pan." The IXhcr twO men were Joel Terry and a Brother LemOIl.

I'lw.ing through Kirtland." they continued !heir trnds to Missouri . As they lraveled. they apparemly added OIher saims to their company, For uample, Anson Call ra:orded in an alilobior,raphicaJ accounl that he left his resicknce in Ohio on Man;:h 20. 1838. 10 lra,-el 10 Missouri and "left my family to jO\Jmcy up wilh Almon Babbiu and OIhcrs: Call arrived in Missouri. became cSl.IIbliwd on a trlCl of land, celebrated the FO\Jnh of July in Far WeSl, and Ihe following day "Slaned back 10 meet my family."

We lIave a sister from Beaver, wile lias recenHy retired from the city, who is willing 10 help us see if there is any information available 00 a IXlssibie location. We are praying that something will be found that will lIelp us. We have information from a couple of monument companies who win 90 to Beaver and put a monument up for us. We hope to make a decision on this sooo.

There 1s great strength and love from knowing our l iving relatives . One way we can do t his is by finding in Our News l etters information about them _ Thanks to you who have called or sen t such Item~ , Plea~e feel free t o continue to share _

WHAT OF O UR TURLEY NAME?

The I'IOdem hereditary use of surnames is a pr<Ictice that originated iIIIDrlg' the venetian aristocracy in Italy about the 10th or 11th centuries . crusaders returning fran the ~ly Land took note of this eusta.! and soon Spre&:'I it!:! use t:h.rcJJghout: <:uropa. !"rance, the British Isles, and then Gemany and Spain began applying the practice as the ~ to dlstinguJ.sh 1n:llviduals became rmro ~t. By the 1370's the '-'Oro " SlIrnar.'la" """ found in clocIr.ents , and had oc:Jne to acquire scm:! Brl'ltive and dynastic significanc:c. Men scmetJ.mes sought to keep their surname alive by encouraging a collateral to adopt it when they had no direct descendant!:! of their own in the male line . Alth:JlJgh we can see that the harrling on of a surT\aI!e has beca:la a matter of pride, we can only 9IJeSs as to the reasa'lS for adopting' hereditary surnar.es in the first place.

In nearly every case, SIlrnilIle> were first used by the nobility and ""OOlthy l~, and the practice then tricl:led ao.m to the man:hanls and UlLiLOiIeCS.

Tt>t::. first permanent I\aIfCS were those of barcns and lamo.mers who derived their names fran their tnaT.OrS and fiefs . 1'hese names became fixed through the hereditary

v nature of their lanis. For the ll'OI'I:ers of the """rking and middle classes seeking status , the practices of the mbUity were 1rnJ.tated, leading to the widespread use of SIIt'llat'll::!S.

It would be a difficul t task to work out a sirrtlle classification of family names due to spelling and pronunciation changes over the years. I1any ol d """rds had different r:ean1ngs , or are TOol" oboolete. rlany f amily T\IIIl"eS were delX'ldeht on the cxnp!1:ency and discretion of the writer. 'the sarti'! name can sanetJ.mes I:e st:elled in different ways even in the same doc\soont .

Family nancs have <Xm3 da.>n to us in varioos ways. 'IN!y may have grown oot of a person's sucrt:ll.ll1dings or job or the name of an ancestor. "klSt SIll'!'lal!eS C'IIOlved fran four <]I3'lC!'al sources. cccut'lITICl>I: Taylor; tcC\TICtI: Hill; F7I'nIER ' S G!Vm 1W·1E : Richard bec:aning Richardson; CIlIRlIC'I'ERIS'I'ICS : Little to Littleton.

'r'he surnar.c 'l'Urley appears to I:e loc:atic:nal in origin. OUr research-in:Ucates t.'lat it can !:c asscciatcd with the Irish, .-.o.:sninq "dIoeller at or near a rcund or circular clearing; one who cama fran TUrleigh , a place in wiltshire, and one who 11V(ld at or ncar a deep curving valley that lay between n.:. praninent places. " Although this interpretation is the result of oncr:wItic nse-rch, you may f1.rJj other noeanJ.ngs for the Turley ~.

Knowing that different spellings of the !IaI!I'! ori ginal SUJ:na1!8 are a COl"Oi. oec:u=ence, it is not Sl.lrpr1sing that dictionaries of Surna/l'eS indicate p:rcbahlc spelling variaUCI1S of the Turley SUIT1aIOO to be Trunleah, Turleigh, ntyre!<mg, TUrlie , TUrly, 'I\Jrlay Turleys. Although bearers of the old and distinguished Turley name o::ztt:¢ise a small percentage of individuals living in the world today, there may be a large rurber of your direct relatives who are usin9 one of the Turley I"IiIII'IC variatials.

MILTON S . TURLEY

My name is Milton stuart TUrley, and I was bam October 10, 19.7, il'l Holbnlok, Arizona. I was the eighth and youI198lIt ehild Of Floyd and Olive Kefl\:I TUrley. I had two other i:Ioothers , Karp and Tom, who are both no :tcn:Jer 11v1nq. t hilve five older sisters: Anita, wanda, Janice, t.ue111e an:! OIristine. I spent "f eady yean grcwing up in the ..all town o f Woodruff, boollve m11es 80Utheut of HolbnJok . We didn't have television or /I telephone during IZ1 Gal'll' years 80 we would thin)( ot fun thil1'}S we could do with the other chUdrel in thlB snaIl town. I tGueo!lber the SUn:I.ly afternoon teotfy pulls, building. gr>-eart with /I

IlDtor fran MOn ' . wringer washer (until ....whday), going fishing, riding my bike to town, the 24th of .July celetxf,Uons, etc. I don't rllLo,tIer many tiI!es when ti'ere was roothin9 to lb.

ClJrlng my }'OIrIgeX" yean my father _ aervin9 as /I IDIri:er of the Sn::vf1ake High OJI.ncll, so I was able to 90 with h1Jn often on speaking asslgnnents and on >«Xi< assignnents . I especially lbna:t>er the welfare pmjeet.5 and the fun t1I!IeS we had working together. we ....,."ld CJl'CW qreen beans, pick and I::eg them and

Turley take them to MeN. to the Bistlop' s Storehouse. We

'-CIUld CJl'CW CIJCI.KIbenI and take them to the Arnold Ptc:kle pr'CIOeft:slng ¢linter in Phoenix . We ..ould grow' SUgar cane and chop it down and I'IrL it through II press to qet the juioe out of it and put it 11'1 big vats and cook it until it was !lDlu8e$. I lblutber the old ditch fraa the &In that nee leI to be cleaned Mdl spring and the days we spent doinq that. I lEilEiibar eut:ting f~ with a biq saw hooked to a John Deere tnctDr and taldnq it to the widows and older ~les in u.m. 'n>ese were fond experiences and tin!s that I really ~oyed as a youth.

We had a _11 two acre farm that my iiDther and us children IO.ild qn;w Yl!9l!'tables and sell to people that IO.ild ocme f['Cftl u.m to buy. My father \/IllS qone a lot on construction projects he \/IllS <:binq and !O was WlIlble to help much on the <)U'dening . My mother was the one who tauqht me to ~rt<. and make go:d use of my time. When she wasn't busy doinq qarden!nq, cann.lnq, or church worIt . she spent her time doinq qeneaIoqy. 'Ittis WIllS her lcwe and what she \oO.lld tal.k about III':>IIt of the time. I relUeiLiber the hours she woul<' worIt on these lines . There was III,JC:h prayer that went into her efforts and she often spoke of the quidanoe she was receiving fron. the other side.

'rhen!! \/111$ one experit!nCe 1 vividly h51i1#lt.ler seeinq as a youth as my mother vas tryinq to extend the 'l\lrl.ey lines.
