I am trying to solve the "mystery" that is The Sanders Family! So anyone who can help will be a great blessing to me. Thank you all for your willingness to share all the knowledge and information you have uncovered. I had read the story about Moses Martin Sanders giving Joseph Smith the horse, but I had also read that Joseph purchased it from someone else. I wonder if we'll ever get definitive proof either way?<br /><br />I would also love to know more about the parents of The Reverend Moses Sanders (grandfather of Moses Martin Sanders). That is quite a jumbled mystery, and one that doesn't seem to be easily solved. If anyone has discovered anything helpful, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so much.Myrna Hurst Boamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-27241807220309268192015-01-09T13:42:53.392-06:002015-01-09T13:42:53.392-06:00So I ran across the tradition of who baptized Mose...So I ran across the tradition of who baptized Moses Sanders and his wife. There is indeed an Allred connection I'll be posting about it later but it appears that it was William Shelton Ivie. William's brother (James R Ivie) married Amanda Sanders' sister (Eliza Faucett). William's mother was Sarah Allred.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543519825711760773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-3433467022743666892012-09-24T10:44:18.014-05:002012-09-24T10:44:18.014-05:00Thank you.

His mother was Mary Allred Sanders My GGG GM who remarried, after my GGG GF David Sanders died at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Another of his sons William was my GG GF who settled in Texas when it was still Mexico.

She (Amanda Armstrong Faucett) was born in Maury County. They were found by missionaries there and baptized around 1835 and were very much a part of the early Church trials and came west with the Saints. She ended up going with her sons to help colonize Arizona which is were I'm from. So with at least some thanks to Tennessee, Arizona Mormon colonies came to be.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292407405748487104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-2823626609493998952012-01-19T10:29:54.164-06:002012-01-19T10:29:54.164-06:00As you might guess I like the story as well.

I'd love to know how he met the missionaries and who they were.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543519825711760773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-60212565250294524252012-01-18T17:47:31.699-06:002012-01-18T17:47:31.699-06:00I am a descendant of Moses Martin Sanders.

So we particularly like that story of the horse with the Prophet Joseph Smith. I've compiled several other stories about that great horse. He was quite famous for his time. However, in doing research, I've found that there are conflicting stories regarding from whom Joseph purchased Joe Duncan. I would like to believe it was based on the story you described because that "keeps it in the family". Joseph's journal(compiled by others at a later time) says he purchased him from a neighboring constable. That same constable tried to kill Joseph not too many months later. I'm not sure he would have purchased from an enemy. The Sanders family was also given one of those metallic engravings of Joseph on the horse which adds some credibility to the Sanders story.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292407405748487104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-76208149334424061912012-01-13T23:29:18.212-06:002012-01-13T23:29:18.212-06:00Fascinating story.

I'm still at the point where I'm trying to tell all the different Ute Perkins' apart.<br /><br />I'll send you a note when I get to the point that I can look at the Church and Perkins family histories in any depth. I just took a quick look, and I think they're the only TN people. Another family that I thought was TN was actually Mississippi.Amy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037263182287268748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-16968550649886822162012-01-09T16:01:27.732-06:002012-01-09T16:01:27.732-06:00Ooo.

But he did not return as an apostle.<br /><br />John W. Taylor (John Taylor's son) was ordained an apostle shortly after his release from a mission in Tennessee. But he did not return. I haven't seen evidence of his father serving in Tennessee.<br /><br />There were others who were apostles. David W. Patten and Thomas B. Marsh were in Tennessee after being set apart. Patten was the one who was acting like a mission president. Marsh was more like a visiting general authority.<br /><br />And there were several who were called to be apostles in the years after having served in Tennessee. That is a much longer list.<br /><br />I probably could start a series on oany one of them.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543519825711760773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-3273029188228115332012-01-09T13:03:18.585-06:002012-01-09T13:03:18.585-06:00I always love your writings on Tennessee.

Let me know if I can help with additional details on the Church family or other Tennessee connections. I recently came across a stash of period documents passed down in the family.<br /> <br />Ute Perkins was born in Tennessee but left when he was 13 or 14 years old. They moved to Illinois where his family joined the Church. He is on a list I have of names to follow up on, but since he joined after he moved away from Tennessee, he is much further down the list than most. Is someone in his family on your radar?Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543519825711760773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645379631135547997.post-61308921022432155762012-01-09T09:39:59.021-06:002012-01-09T09:39:59.021-06:00Nice!

There are a few Tennessee connections in the project, actually, the Church family and others, so I've been using your blog as a resource. Have you ever come across Ute Perkins?Amy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037263182287268748noreply@blogger.com
