Sometime between 1780 and 1782, Holderbe's wife Mary removed from Northampton, MA to Guilford, VT. Following the death of Holderbe, Mary married Noah Wade, "of Guilford". To date, I have not been able to determine if they were married in Northampton or Guilford. On 20 Aug 1782, Phebe married Abraham Morton in Guilford, VT.<br />JRWJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420528374799255456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733294487947651810.post-33281543811751437292018-04-18T15:35:00.038-07:002018-04-18T15:35:00.038-07:00This link will give you some insight into where Ph...This link will give you some insight into where Phebe was likely born.

It too could blow your minds.<br /><br />Through my Joseph Holbrook lineage I am related to Abraham Morton (a 4th GGF) through two of his daughters.<br /><br />1) Phebe Ann Morton who married James William Angell. Their daughter Caroline Francis married Joseph Holbrook.<br /><br />2) Hanna Lucretia Morton married Moses Holbrook and their son was Joseph Holbrook who married Caroline Francis Angell.<br /><br />Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420528374799255456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733294487947651810.post-88686302953929592612014-08-31T15:01:47.722-07:002014-08-31T15:01:47.722-07:00Tradition or legend in Newbury is that Mary Ann an...Tradition or legend in Newbury is that Mary Ann and Brigham Young were married by Justice of the Peace Joseph Morton, who would have been Mary Ann's uncle. She had come to Newbury to help out her aunt, Joseph's wife who was blind. Her uncle opposed the marriage and so would not allow Young into the house and so performed the ceremony on the steps of the house. *This is my own interpretation of the tradition as the History in which it was recorded had it skewed in a couple of ways. However descendants can point to the steps where they were married as the house is still standing. Only thing that can be proved is that they made application for marriage in Geauga County.

His grandchildren: Mary Ann Angell, Truman Angell and Joseph Holbrook all speak of his opposition to their conversions. Abraham is buried in the Morton Cemetery located behind his son Joseph's homestead on Bell St. in Newbury Twp., Geauga County, Ohio. Only Phebe went on to Nauvoo after his death. They also spoke of their Uncle Benjamin's opposition. He is buried in Burton, Geauga, Ohio.

They were either married in Trenton, Oneida, NY, or moved there shortly after. Sometime after 1830 they moved to Marshall County, Illinois, where Ephraim died 1844/5. His grave is at Find A Grave Memorial# 98707824. Anna is supposed to have died in 1849, but I don't know where she's buried. Anyway, this at least confirms an Anna Langford married to a Hoyt.

She was clearly living in Vermont and in New York. According to family history done by the two genealogists that did studies on this, George Langford (1936) and Mary Langford Taylor Alden, Phebe's mother, Mary Sanford, moved to Vermont after Phebe's father died in 1780. There she remarried to a Noah Weld, in Guilford. This family tree is posted by George Langford's grandson on georgesbasement.com. Thats how I put Phebe in Vermont, to answer your question.

I can't figure out how she could have been born in Vermont (this according to US & International Marriage Records, not necessarily accurate) if her parents were Northrop and Mary Langford, who lived in Massachusetts. Also, the only mention of Northrop's daughter Phebe that I can find is in "Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs (1911)," which, as mentioned above, says she married someone named Ross and gave up their daughter... (Excerpt at http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/families/hmgfm/alden.html). I would love to confirm Phebe Morton's parents, but I'm stymied at the moment!

The Langford Genealogy published in 1936 does show Phoebe marrying a Ross and having one child.If she married twice, once in her teens,as they often did back then, these would not be in conflict. That is what I believe happened.Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058721667772870026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733294487947651810.post-74632254545936149412013-06-10T21:47:05.742-07:002013-06-10T21:47:05.742-07:00I have a trip planned to Nauvoo in July, and in Au...I have a trip planned to Nauvoo in July, and in August I am going to a conference that includes a session on early Mormon genealogy. I hope to learn a lot more but I have no doubt that this is our Phebe. I may not have enough proof yet but the circumstantial evidence is substantial.
