  [jlgalloway.FTW] FHL US/CAN Film 1922 Item 1 Records of members of the Ambrosia, Iowabranch, 1844-1846, Pag e 13 Thorsen Sumpson ordained into the Seventies October 8th, 1844 "Thorsen Simpson an Elder and Son of Sebjoren Knudsen and Gunnuld Gunnulsand Grandson of Knu dt Nelson was born in Numedahl Roland PrestegjeldNore Anex in Norway December 11, 1808 Bapti sed January 25th 1843 in LeeCounty, Iowa. Maria Sophia Simpson Daughter of Christian Hendrickson was born March7th,1848 in Tronjens Sh ift Overgard Numedahl Prestegjeld in Norway.Baptised January 23, 1843 in Lee County, Iowa. M ary Simpson was bornJune 22, 1839 in St. Francisville, Clark County, Missouri. Blest June 29th by Lewis Zabriskie. Hans Simpson was born January 12th, 1842 inMontrose, Lee County, Iow a. Blest June 29th, 1845 by Lewis Zabriskie. Thorsen and Maria Simpson's Children: Mary in the name of the Lord we lay our hands on your head to confer anInfant blessing on yo u. You shall be a Mother in Israel and see thecoming of Christ. Hans, In the name of the Lord we lay our hands on your head to bless you.You shall be the me ans of doing much good through the means of God inbringing many of your own people into th e kingdom of God and live to seethe winding up scense of times. Blessed June 29th, 1845 by L ewisZabriskie Cheryl Galloway notes 1982: Mary Jane Herron was married to GeorgeFraughton under the name o f Simpson--which was her mother's maiden name.Her mother's name was Hester Simpson Herron. " ? The name was not used inthe records. The Woodland Ward record tells some interesting things. In it, MaryJane's parents are liste d as John Holmes and M.S. Barleen. Mary Jane islisted as both M.J. Holmes and M.J. Simpson i n this ward. Also, in theremarks column out to the side of her name is the following: Henr y I.Holmes born 12 Feb 1857, died March 1857 Anna M. Holmes born May 31, 1861, died same day Children of Mary J. Fraughton. Now these children were born to Mary Janeduring the time sh e was married to Henry D. Sabin--one before MaryElizabeth and one after. Why they are liste d as Holmes is a goodquestion. Perhaps Mary Jane still had bad feelings toward Henry D. Sabins, or perhaps she felt that because their sealing had been cancelled, sohad her children' s also. At any rate, this record seems to indicate that Mary Jane had twofathers, an actual one an d an adopted one, or a step-father. JohnHolmes and Maria Sophia Barlien were apparently her l parents at one timeand Thurston Simpson, her stepfather, who she knew since she was abou t 2years old (He witnessed her marriage to Peter Benson, listed as ThorsenSympson.) George Fraughton and Mary Jane Simpson Fraughton moved to Ashley CreekWard--Vernal area acco rding to the Woodland records on 5 Aug 1888. Ihave not found her daughter Mary Elizabeth li sted with her on either theKamas or Woodland Ward Records. She was already married when th eFraughtons moved to the Woodland but there were no Galloways listed onthe Kamas record. Temple Ordinances show Henry I. Holmes and Anna M. Holmes and MaryElizabeth Sabins sealed t o George Fraughton, as father. If they were allHenry Sabins children, they were born in th e covenant except forpossibly Anna, as Henry Sabins as father. The divorce was in 1857, an dAnna was born in 1861. Elizabeth was born in 1858, but Henry Sabins isher father..
