    Jellif Company Georgetown (Redding son to Southport)

    In the 1850's, Aaron Jelliff, built a shop for wire work on the Weston Road in Osborntown. The motive power used in this shop was a one man power tread mill. This tread mill wheel was on the outside of the shop(south side). It was about twelve feet in diameter and six feet wide. It was built with treads to step on. The weight of the person inside the wheel stepping on the treads turned it and furnished the power to run a saw and other small machines. The wheel was operated by Abraham Dreamer, a veteran of the Mexican War. It was a great treat to the boys of fifty or more years ago to see Uncle Abe walking in this wheel, never reaching the top. Years later, Mr. Jelliff's sons, Aaron and Charles, were in the wire business, Aaron in New Canaan and Charles in Southport. C. O. Jelliff

    Chil. of Isaac and Maria (Van Hoosear) Jelliff. 5 
     
    16. I. ANTOINETTE MARIA, ''Mariah," born in [77] 
    Fairfield Co., Ct., Aug. 20,* 180G; [Family Bible] married 
    about 1824,** at Thunder Hill, Sul. Co., Samuel Carpenter, 
    (Son of Benj.) born at Milton, N. Y., Mar 10, 1803. 
     
    This family has a very interesting but mournful his- 
    tory. At the time of the Mormon excitement, in May 1839, 
    he with his wife and seven children started for Nauvoo, 
    Hancock Co., 111., to join the Mormons there. They start- 
    ed from Thunder Hill, N. Y. Lain Brundridge drove a 
    team with this family to Wilkes Barre, Pa. From there 
    they went to Johnstown, Cambria Co. Through Indiana 
    and Illinois to the Mississippi River, they travelled by 
    train. From there they were transported by steamer to 
    Nauvoo, (which is on the east bank of the Mississippi, in 
    one of the westermost counties of 111.) arriving there 
    about the middle of June, 1839. At this time there were 
    no houses in Nauvoo, except Joseph Smith's which was 
    built of stone. They all built shanties, with floors and 
    roofs of straw. They stayed there about two weeks when 
    Mr. Carpenter bought a hundred acre farm, for one dollar 
    an acre, about two miles from there in town the of Olive 
    Green, in the same Co. He built a house on it and re- 
    mained there seven years (to 184G). While at tbis home 
    three more children, Abigail, Nancy and Benjamin, were 
    born. The eighth child died in the fall of 1844.*** June 
    27, same year, Joseph Smith was shot by a mob while 
    jumping from the jail window where he was confined. 
    Antoinette, the mother, died Nov. 10, 184G, in Hancock 
    Co., 111., and was buried at " Masadonia, 111." Nanc;.^, 
    the tenth child, died before 1846, an infant. Now the 
    father and seven children remained. In the spring of 
    1840, he sold his farm and they started with three pairs of 
    oxen, two cows, ten sheep, a year's provisions, with wag-

    ons and tent, to make their way to Fort Madison, across 
    the Mississippi River. Passing on over the prairie, they 
    travelled through the wilderness to Council Bluffs. At 
    this place there were 5,000 Mormons. They camped there 
    until Sept., when Mr. Carpenter married, 3d, Clarissa 
    Tuttle,* and they all started for Salt Lake City. 
     
    While camping in their wagon on the banks of the 
    Missouri River, 40 miles west of Council Bluff, he died. 
    This second wife, or widow, was soon to be a special wife 
    of the new leader, Brigham Young, and it further devel- 
    oped that '' all of us girls " four of them, Rhoda, Julia A., 
    Elizabeth and Antoinette, were to be the same. They held 
    a convention and it was unanimously voted that the song 
    should be " Backward, turn Backward." Their intention 
    was discovered, and of course opposed by all, more par- 
    ticularly by the stepmother, but they entered into the 
    escape with determination, and at last they stole away, 
    carrying what they could for their comfort. They took 
    two teams of oxen, wagon and cow; the girls driving the 
    teams and caring for everything. One day, driving until 
    after dark, coming down a hill the wagon pole dropped 
    from the ring and ran into the ground. They blocked the 
    wheels, chopped the earth away with an ax they had, 
    loosened the tongue, hitched on and resumed their journey 
    eastward. 
     
    This act of leaving the Mormons was a bold and dan- 
    gerous action, but they would trust themselves with the 
    savage Indians rather than the servitude and action they 
    were soon to encounter. They were unwilling to bear the 
    slavery of these rulers. It was a tedious journey but 
    they eventually reached Council Bluffs. Rhoda Ann then 
    left the rest of the girls and went to Missouri to her sister 
    Lydia who had been left behind. She stayed there 
    Through the winter and in May the two sisters walked 50 
    miles to Council Bluffs, through the Indian village, and 
    stole their brother " Bennie " away from Jerome Benson's 
    place where he had been " put out.'' To do this required 
    strategy. The sisters went to visit him. staying over 
    Sunday (knowing Mr. and Mrs. B. would want to go to 
    church) they volunteered to care for '• Bennie"' while they 
    went. As soon as they were well out of the way, they

    took him away from the liouse, at which the little fellow 
    at first protested, wanting to go home, but having so en- 
    tered into the plan they pushed forward. They went to a 
    solitary and lonely, previously secured refuge, beyond the 
    probable search. Here they stayed all night, and in the 
    early morn they started for the Indian camp beyond. It 
    took several days before they arrived there, and when in 
    sight, several dogs came to greet them. Bennie was afraid 
    of them but they told him they wouldn't bite him; they 
    came on and one of the girls talked to them in the Indian 
    dialect when they became acquainted. They were then 
    returning to the sisters they had left. 
     
    The Indians were very kind, helping them along until 
    at last they joined their sisters, but still hundreds of miles 
    from their grandparents and other relatives, and their 
    former home. 
     
    They wrote their grandmother, Misner, of their con- 
    dition, begging help to return. Their uncle, Benjamin 
    Carpenter, volunteered to assist them, went there and 
    brought them home. All had become interested in these 
    orphans escape, and upon their arrival the sympathy of 
    the neighborhood was aroused, and large numbers visited 
    them anxious to see the returned Mormon children. Their 
    stories of the privations, trials, etc., they had endured, 
    together with their general appearance, told of the distress 
    they Ifed experienced on their long journey. A relative 
    who visited them but a short time after their return re- 
    marked that no one could visit them without seeing they 
    had experienced serious trouble and exposure. Little 
    Bennie showed suspicion and shyness, not yet appreciat- 
    ing that he was now among friends, he would steal away 
    in the corner and go to sleep. All were bronzed by the 
    sun, and their faces showed sad experiences. Their dialect 
    had changed and one of the girls having been among the 
    Indians so much, had grasped many words used by them. 
    They considered the death of their parents their redem- 
    tion, for had they lived they would probably never have 
    returned. They frequently alluded to the friendship of 
    the Indians, and when with them had no fear of being 
    captured by the Mormons. Samuel Carpenter while with 
    the Mormons, was drafted into the army, but he probably 
    was so enthusiastic in Mormonism, he prevailed on his 
    son to take his place. Many of these facts were kindly
