• Notes

  BAPL FEB 1836 21 SEP 1845 Copied from the "History of David Crandall and Margaret McBride Crandall" compiled by Marilyn J. Crandall 3rd great grandaughter page 7 It is certain that the Crandall's who crossed the plains suffered al l o f the hardships and privations of an exiled people. It is interesting to not e t hat they didn't go directly to the Salt Lake valley, but settled in Kanesvil l e, Pottawattamie County, Iowa for three years. "While in Kanesville, Myron Nathan owned a six acre farm had accumulated a span of horses, two yoke of oxen, two cows and sufficient provisions to last two years. Consequen t ly, they came across the plains with fewer hardships than many of the Saints. "64 It can be assumed that the other Crandall families were similarly pr e pared. In early June of 1850, the Crandalls left Kanesville to go to Utah wit h t he Aaron Johnson Company. There were twenty-two Crandalls in the group by this ti m e. In the latter part of June tragedy struck the company. Aaron Johnson's w i fe Polly Kelsey, Spicer Crandall's wife Irinda Spafford, her mother, fou r o f her brothers and sisters and Willis K. Johnson, husband of Laura Crandall a l l died of Cholera. They were buried near the Platte River in Nebraska. To continue the quote, The Aaron Johnson Company arrived in Salt Lake on 12 September 1850. Brigham Young requested the first eight wagons to go to Springille and b u ild a fort there. The teams comprised those of Aaron Johnson, Myron Nathan Crandall, Martin Pardon Crandall, William Miller, John W. Deal [husband to Eliza Crandall], Richard Bird, [husband to Emaline Crandall], and Amos Warren and his brother.
