ROBERT ALLEN RESEARCH REPORT [history011606 / 0346] 25 January 2006
LIEURANCE Research first focused on all ancestors of Richard Edward Lieurance. The best source for historical information on the Lieurance family was found at www.lieurance-legacy.com http://www.lieurance-legacy.com. Since Richard was born in 1922 and was the first in this line to join the LDS Church, we did not have success finding this line in LDS Church historical records. Richard Edward Lieurance Information from the above website added Richard’s death information [document #1a]: Dr. Richard “Dick” Edward died in Napa, Napa Co., CA on 17 Jun 1998, he was 75. Chester Ivan Lieurance According to this website, Chester was born 11 April 1897 in Scottsville, Mitchell County, Kansas (previous research has found he was born 16 April 1895 in Cherry Vale, Montgomery County, Kansas) [document #1a]. Chester died of a heart attack 18 May 1943. The site received the following letter about him: “My father [unknown] told me that Chester was a man about town and he had to quit school and take care of the girls [at home?] as Grandmother Lieurance was [n]earing the end of her life. She died at age 49 or so Dad said.” The site listed Chester in the 1900 Federal Census in El Dorado, Butler, Kansas and in the 1910 Federal Census in Stockton, Rooks, Kansas. Information for Chester’s daughter, Phyllis, was given as follows: Phyllis. Born on 9 Jan 1914 in Lusk, Niobrara, WY. Phyllis died in Seattle, King Co. WA on 1 Jul 1982, she was 68.
Delbert Calvin Lieurance There are several differences between our current information on Delbert Calvin Lieurance and the Lieurance family website. First, Delbert’s death place is given as Cherryvale, Kansas, rather than Scottsville and his death date is reported as 27 April 1939 rather than 26 April [document #1b]. He died of throat cancer. His occupations were a postmaster and pharmacist. The site reports that Delbert’s wife, Alice Adelaide Shewell, was an art teacher and later died of a stroke. The couple was reportedly found in El Dorado, Butler, Kansas in 1900, in Stockton, Rooks, Kansas in 1910, and in Scottsville, Mitchell, Kansas in 1930. Concerning the death of their two oldest children, one grandchild, M.E. Lieurance Gates, wrote: Aunt Heloise told us (Mom and I) that every summer grandmother took the kids and went somewhere that had a different climate. She was not really well. She took Fred and Bruce, Fred as a baby and Bruce as a toddler and she did not come home with them. That was the time dysentary was a tragic killer of people.
M.E. Lieurance Gates: Aunt Dorothy sent me a gift after our [daughter] was born and she and uncle Marvin were living in Longmont, Colorado. She was a typical farm wife. She was the heaviest of the girls and jolly. I remember her pouring heavy cream on our cereal which I thought was gross and the rest [o]f the kids thought it was wonderful! She made her own butter and was a wonderful cook. She also died of a heart attack! Aunt Dorothy moved to Alhambra, California and finished raising her family there. I think, but do not know, that she is buried there. M.E. Lieurance Gates: Aunt Helen and Uncle Marvin Motes sold their farm in Kansas and settled in Longmont, Colorado and passed away there but since they are both from Kansas they may be buried in Kansas. I have some contact with their youngest Daughter. She has never married and has worked as a nursing aide. She sends me wonderful cards but not many letters. Their oldest daughter Peggy Motes Ball has passed away [no date]. She was a nurse with a wonderful sense of humor. M.E. Lieurance Gates: At the family reunion, and Aunt Heloise was there, was the first I had ever heard of a George Lieurance. My father’s youngest sister Heloise Lieurance Boyle always kept in touch with us. Every time they went on an extended vacation they came through wherever we were living. After I had lost both my parents I would pump Aunt Heloise for Lieurance information. She always spoke of Andrew Jackson Lieurance and as an Uncle Joe. Aunt Heloise died in a nursing home near her youngest daughter’s place. Her Judy Jo died of an aneurysm. Daughter of Heloise: In Feb Heloise Boyle, my mother, died of a stroke in Minneapolis. She was living at the Redeemer Residence, a very warm and caring place. My sister . . . and her family live a few blocks form [sic] Redeemer and have been very instrumental in all the wonderful care that mom received in Minn. during the four years she lived there. We had a service for her at the residence and another in Kansas City at Roanoke Presbyterian Church. It was so comforting to hear from all the people whose lives she had touched over the years. The burial service was on Memorial Day in Scottsville, Kansas. It was a beautiful day to remember Heloise, with all the family. . . . George A. Lieurance The Lieurance website says the following about George and his wife, Amanda Jared [document #1h-i]: George and Amanda were living in Warren County, Illinois when they met. Amanda’s parents removed to Oskaloosa, Mahasko Co. IA from Warren Co. Illinois some years prior to George and Amanda’s wedding in 1844. The two traveled from Warren Co. Illinois to Oskaloosa, IA to be wed in the home of her father, Joel Jared. They became the first couple to marry in that county. It isn’t until 1860 that George actually moved his family to Mahaska County, Iowa. . . . (. . . now known as Indianapolis, IA). . . . On 13 August 1862 at the age of 37, George enlisted as Lieutenant in the Civil War, commissioned in Company C, 40th Infantry Regiment Iowa. He resigned on 19 Jun 1863 and went home to Indianapolis, Iowa. . . . George Lieurance was a Reverend in Whatcheer, IA. Sometime after 1870, George and Amanda followed their sons to Neosho Falls, Kansas.
“GEORGE LIEURANCE,” of Monroe Township, was born in Clinton County, Ohio in 1825 and resided there with his father until 1836, when the family removed to and settled in Warren County, Illinois. He came to Mahaska [Iowa] in 1844 and on June 26 of that year was united in marriage to Miss Amanda Jared, born in Kentucky in 1827, being the first couple married in the county. They are the parents of four children: Cynthia L. is the wife of John Witt, and lives in this township; Andrew J. is at Neosha Falls, Kansas; Joseph M. lives in Stafford County, Kansas; Calvin D. is at home. George Lieurance served in the late war for a period of twelve months as First Lieutenant of Company C, 40th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, when by reason of sickness he resigned his commission and came home. He is a member of the A.F. & A.M. Himself and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Immediately following his marriage Mr. Lieurance came to Iowa and settled in Monroe Township, this county. His home farm consists of 242 acres of very fertile land, which he has brought to a high state of cultivation, and otherwise splendidly improved. He engages in mixed farming and stock raising, and has prospered exceedingly well in them. He is a pioneer who has grown with the growth of the county, is a man of considerable individuality and force of character, and is deserving of all the prosperity that has attended him in the past or may fall to his lot in the future. In every respect an estimable citizen, most honorable and of the strictest integrity, he is highly regarded by a very large circle of acquaintances. Amanda Lieurance’s obituary reads as follows [document #1j]: Died at her home near Neosha [sic] Falls, Kansas, on Saturday, February 8th, 1896, of neuralgia of the heart, Mrs. Amanda Lieurance, wife of Rev. George Lieurance, aged 69 years. The funeral took place Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the M. E. Church in this city. Rev. P. B. Knepp, assisted by the other ministers of the city, conducting the service. The interment took place in the city cemetery. Mrs. Amanda Lieurance, whose maiden name was Jared, was born in Breckenridge County, Kentucky March 31, 1827 and in 1836 removed with her parents to Warren County, Illinois. In 1844 she removed with her parents to Mahaska County, Iowa and on the 27th day of June of that year was united in Marriage to George Lieurance. Nine children blessed the union, four of whom survive her, one daughter, Mrs. Cynthia Witt, of Barnes Iowa. Three sons, Dr. A. J. Lieurance and Joseph Lieurance of this city, and Calvin Lieurance of Cherryvale and today mourn the loss of the dearest earthly friend. When thirteen years old the deceased was converted and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, but since 1874 she and her husband have been active members of the Methodist Church. The bereaved family have the entire sympathy of all in this hour of sorrow, and especially her aged husband who most of all must feel the pangs of sorrow that the death of this dear on[e] has brought into his life. Cards of thanks: I desire to thank the friends for their kindness and assistance during the sickness and death of my loved companion. [signed] Geo. Lieurance Elijah Lieurance According to the Lieurance family website, Elijah was born in North Carolina and came to Clinton County, Ohio with his father in 1806 [document #1m]. He served in the War of 1812 and was captured and imprisoned at Hull’s surrender. He later returned home and lived in Washington Township, Clinton County until he left for Warren County, Illinois in 1836. He was a farmer and wagon maker. He was buried in Section 6 at the Greenbush Cemetery in Greenbush Township, Warren County. Additions to information about his children are the following: Cynthia (born 1821) died 1911, Melissa was born 1827, and Mariah “Myra” was also born in that year and died 1877 [document #1m-n]. A photograph of the tombstones of Elijah and his wife, Cynthia, was also included on the website [document #1o]. We have also included historical information about Peter’s father in case it is needed [document #1p-r]. A history of Washington Township, Clinton County which describes Peter and also talks about Elijah’s life is also included [document #2a-b]. JARED We searched for family histories at the Family History Library for nearly all surnames in the pedigree of Daryl Lieurance, but found only two relevant histories, one of which was for Amanda Jared, daughter of Joel Jared [document #4a-ca]. This book focuses mainly on Joel’s grandfather, John, and his descendants. Pages 2-14 of the first volume give a good history on John [document #4a-g]. We found it interesting that a branch of these descendants, children of Moses Jared who was Joel’s cousin, joined the Church in 1842 and were with the Saints in Nauvoo [document #4L-o]. Information about Joseph Jared, Joel’s father, stated he died 4 March 1835 in Jackson (now Putnam) County, Tennessee (our information states he died 7 January 1848, place unknown) [document #4s]. The book also gives additional information for his marriage to Agnes Beard, stating that their marriage bond is at the Bedford County (Virginia) Courthouse [document #4s]: An interesting marriage contract lies in the vaults of the Bedford County Court House in Virginia. It reads: “Know all men by these presents that we Joseph Jarrett and George Simmons are held and firmly bound unto Patrick Henry Esquire Governor of Chief Magistrate of the State of Virginia in the sum of Fifty pounds to which paim’t. (payment) well and truly to be made to the said Patrick Henry or his Successors we bind ourselves and each of our Joints and several Heirs. Exor’s and Admir’s. firmly by these present. Sealed with our seals and dated this 23 day of Oct. 1780. The condition of the above oblign. is such that whereas there is a marriage shortly to be had and solemnized between Joseph Jarrett and Aggy Beard. Now if there shall be no lawful Cause to Obstruct the s’d marriage then the above Oblign. to be void. Else to remain in full force and virtue.” Filed with this bond was a paper stating that Margit Young, mother of Aggy Beard, gave her consent to said marriage.
His regiment was immediately marched from Lacey’s Tavern aforesaid to Richmond, Virginia, with an expectations of going from that place to Hillsborough but when they arrived at Richmond, they were ordered to march on Portsmouth on Nancymond River. After being at Portsmouth a few days they were marched to Cabbin’s Point, here they stayed a few days and were thence marched to an oil field, the distance not recollected, where they were stationed about ten or fifteen days. At this place they built large tents of green pines with much order and regularity as to their arrangement after the manner of streets of a town and in consequence of this circumstance they called the place Green-Town, by which name it has been called and known ever since. From Green-Town they were marched to Petersburg, Virginia, and were stationed about one mile from that place. Here they remained until the time for which they had volunteered, had expired, and during the time they were at this place, the Regiment was reviewed by General Stuban, after which the General complimented the soldiers for their patriotism in volunteering in the service of our country, called them good boys, and then dismissed the soldiers from further service at that time. They received no written discharges.
Joseph returned home and remained until sometime in the summer of 1781, and again volunteered in the service of the United States in Loudoun County, Va., and at the same Lacey’s Tavern. They again marched to Richmond, thence immediately to Gloucester in Gloucester County near Little York, where he joined the main Army under General Washington. Here he remained during the balance of the summer and fall until sometime after Cornwallis’ surrender. After the battle was over they were employed in guarding the prisoners, until they started to Nowling’s Ferry on the Potomac River, to which place they guarded the prisoners. They were again discharged from service without receiving written discharges. He was not engaged in any other battle or engagement but the Battle of Little York. He was engaged in the service during the last campaign at least three months and to the best of his knowledge it was more than that length of time-which together with his first mentioned service would make more than six months . . .
BURKHEAD
Searching the internet, we found only one reference to the Burkhead line. A Nathan Burkhead was Postmaster when the Post Office at Alanthus in Larrabee Township, Gove County, Kansas was established in 1887 [document #5]. We do not yet know if this was the ancestral Nathan. Research thus far has not found evidence that he ever went to Kansas, although several of his children did settle in that state.
COLEMAN
Research next turned to the early LDS ancestors of Daryl Lieurance and was first focused on the Coleman ancestry of her mother, Leah Florence Coleman.
Charles William Harold Coleman
Searching for Leah’s parents, we found that her father was registered for the World War I draft at the age of thirty [document #6]. At that time he lived at 2132 Richard Street in Salt Lake City and worked at a warehouse in Salt Lake City for Anderson and Taylor Coopers [name difficult to read]. He was married with four children. His physical description is difficult to read on the printout and should be searched again.
Searching LDS Church census records, we found the Charles Coleman family from 1914 to 1960 [document #7a-g]. It appears they lived at “Rear” 2125 S. West Temple in 1914 and at 2132 South Richards Street from before 1921 to 1925 [document #7a-c]. During these years the family was in the Burton Ward, Granite Stake. From 1930 to 1960 they lived at 3041 South 20th East and were part of the Wilford Ward in the same stake until 1935; they became part of the Grandview Ward in 1940 but remained at the same address. There must have been a great amount of growth in this area from about 1935 to 1960 because their ward and stake name changed several times during this period.

Name Born Place of Birth
John Schofield A biography of Charles’ father, John Schofield, is included in Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah [document #17a-d]. This sketch includes a photo and states John came to Utah in October 1882. It also states John married Susanna Hewitt 21 December 1852 at Droylesden, rather 28 September 1851 at Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire as our current information states. The book also says the following about Susanna: Married Susannah Hewitt Dec. 21, 1852, at Droylesden (daughter of James Hewitt and Amelia Savage of Clitheroe, Yorkshire, Eng., died at St. Louis on way to Utah).
Elder Schofield said there had been a great improvement in District No. 1 during the last six months; the Saints were feeling well; in some Branches Sunday schools had been started, tracts distributed, and out-door preaching begun; about twenty had been baptized; bore testimony of the truth, and expressed his gratification and pleasure when laboring among the Saints.
My Brother, Read, & then Judge. A Prophecy and revelation concerning the present WAR and future destiny of AMERICA, and all other Nations; by the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, JOSEPH SMITH; given DEC. 25th, 1832, extracted from the “Pearl of Great Price.” Page 35. Printed and Published in Liverpool by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in 1851 [This is followed by a complete extract of Doctrine & Covenants Section 87.] Any Works of the Church, or any further information, can be obtained by applying to MR. JOHN SCHOFIELD, Daisy Bank, Droylsden.
SCHOFIELD-In the Twentieth Ward, this city, at 3:30[?] a.m. Dec. 18th, 1891, Susannah Hewitt Schofield, wife of Elder John Schofield. Deceased was born in Clitheroe, Lancashire, England, August 3rd, 1827, being 61 years, 4 months and two weeks old. She was baptized in Bolton, England, in 1842, and emigrated to Utah in 1882. She has been a very great sufferer for many years, but has patiently submitted to her fate. Her faith and love for the Gospel was never shaken and her life has exhibited a trust in God and His power that is absolutely sublime. Funeral at 11 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 21st, in the Twentieth Ward meeting house.
John Schofield, who died at his home in the Twentieth ward on Saturday, was at one time curator of the Deseret Musium [sic]. He was 78 years of age and a thoroughly respected citizen. His funeral will be conducted from the Twentieth ward meeting house tomorrow afternoon beginning at 2 o’clock. SCHOFIELD.-Of the Twentieth ward in this city, John Schofield, formerly of Manchester, England. Deceased was born in Droylsden, near Manchester, England, February 3rd, 1827, being 72 years and 7 months old. The remains may be viewed at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Reynolds, 333 Fourth street, between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, the 29th inst. Funeral services will be held at the Twentieth ward meeting house, commencing at 2 o’clock. Friends invited.
Jonah Schofield According to a Schofield family history [document #28a-hh], John’s father, Jonah, owned a stone pit in Droylsden, Lancashire, which was just four miles east of Manchester on the Rochdale canal. The book states “Droylsden had a population of 4,932 people mostly employed in the cotton factories [year not given]. Jonah realized a very good living and was considered well-fixed. He and his wife Elizabeth Ann owned a large home in Droylsden” [document #28d]. Concerning Jonah’s wife, Elizabeth Ann Jackson, her granddaughter related the following [document #28d-e]: My grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Jackson Schofield came to Utah from Droylsden in the year 1873. She came in the company of her granddaughter Amelia Schofield, the daughter of her son John Schofield who lived with his wife and family in Droylsden. Amelia had come to Utah to marry George Reynolds who had previously been a L.D.S. missionary in Manchester, England. My father [Thomas Jackson Schofield] had been notified that his mother would be coming with Amelia and for him to meet the train which would bring his mother to Salt Lake City. When my father arrived at the railroad station, the train from New York had just arrived, and he looked for his mother. He had left England in 1853, so it had been twenty years since he had last seen her. . . . As my father walked up and down the station platform, he could not see or recognize his mother nor she him. He finally noticed an old disheveled woman sitting on her suitcase. He stopped in front of this untidy woman, and after gazing at her for some time, he realized that she was his mother. She did not seem to recognize her first born son. When Father reached home in Nephi and was telling my mother, brothers and sisters of this experience, he broke down and cried. This was the only time that I had ever seen my father so affected. . . . My grandmother Elizabeth Ann was not too well, and her memory and mind were somewhat vague. She was a timid person and loved to sit by the warm fire. We were kind to her and missed her when she died one short year after her arrival.
I went home after baptism full of peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, but the scene soon changed for my father came home soon after from the Chartist delegate meeting which had been held in Manchester that day. He heard on returning home what I had been doing and came home very angry and full of the Devil, insomuch that he threatened vehemently to beat me and flog me for having dared to go and get baptized without his knowledge and permission. He cursed and swore madly at what he would do if I ever dared to go near the Latter-day Saints again. But the Lord kept him from laying violent hands on me, and my mother sent me upstairs to be out of the way. I found it hard to endure his persecution, but the Lord gave me strength to hold fast unto the truth which I had embraced, . . . . He forbid me going to any more meeting of the Saints or reading the Book of Mormon, or any of the publications and my mother sent my brother John with those I had borrowed home again and my father swore if John ever joined the Saints he would kill him.
HEWITT Susanna Hewitt’s mother, Amelia (Charles) Hewitt, immigrated to the United States from England with her two youngest children, Amelia and James, in 1868 [document #29a-i]. They left on the steamship Colorado on Tuesday 14 July 1868 which embarked from Liverpool, England. Their large company was made up of either 411 or 600 Saints [document #29b-c]. They apparently had good weather during their journey, although one record talks about a severe storm that drove the ship back 100 miles [document #29b, f]. They arrived in New York, New York 28 July 1868 and then traveled to Benton, Wyoming by railroad [document #29b-c]. From there the company traveled to Utah by ox and wagon. According to Membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Amelia Charles Hewitt joined the Church 17 June 1841 in Bolton, Lancashire [document #31a-b]. She attended the Ashton under Lyne, England Conference and at some point was cut off from the Church and then removed to Hooley Hill, England. This same source states her daughter, Susanna, was baptized in August of 1841 in Bolton and attended the Ashton under Lyne branch [document #32a-b]. SWIFT John Dean Swift and his family immigrated to the United States in 1884 on the ship Nevada [document #33a-f]. The ship left Liverpool on Wednesday 9 April 1884 with 319 Saints, 207 of which were from Great Britain [document #33b]. This was the first company of emigrating Saints for the year. They arrived in New York on Saturday 19 April 1884 [document #33b, d]. They left New York for Utah on April 21 [document #33d-e]. We did not find immigration information for John’s parents, Thomas and Ellen Swift. They may have traveled on the ship Wyoming in 1879 [document #34a-h]. John’s older brother, Alfred, may have immigrated in 1885 on the Wisconsin [document #35a-d]. John Dean Swift was naturalized in 1894 and the event was posted in the Deseret Evening News 15 September of that year [document #36]: NATURALIZED The following were naturalized today: . . . John Dean Swift . . .

Name Age Sex Priesthood Status Where Born CONTACT WITH DESCENDANTS Since descendants of these families are usually the ones with additional unknown journals and histories, we sought to contact as many of the descendants of these families as possible. We searched submitted lists to the Pedigree Resource File and Ancestral File and found current contact information for several of these submitters [document #39a-w]. One gave us additional information on the Swift family, including the belief that Thomas Swift was the branch president in Upholland, Lancashire but knew of no journals. We will continue to attempt to contact as many descendants as possible and should search message boards, such as genforum.com, rootsweb.com, and ancestry.com boards for other descendants. We would appreciate any help you can give in providing us with the contact information of your relatives, as they may have additional information and know of other relatives we could contact. It is a pleasure to assist you in researching and documenting your family history. We look forward to continuing research according to your instructions. © 2006 Price and Associates, Incorporated JMT/ew |
