NOTES: Other info from The Great Migration Begins:
ASSOCIATIONS: Dorothy (Jones) Sears, wife of Richard, was sister of Richard Jones of Dorchester and of Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher, wife of Anthony Thacher of Yarmouth [TAG 58:244-46].
COMMENTS: Although the earliest record of Richard Sears in Marblehead is in 1637, he may have moved there as early as 1634, since he is in the 1633 Plymouth tax list, but not in the list of 1634.
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: Various publications of the middle of the 19th century set forth an English pedigree for Richard Sears, and partly on the basis of this pedigree assigned to Richard Sears, a son Knyvett Sears.
In 1886 Samuel Pearce May carefully examined and analyzed this pedigree, and found it to have no merit; he further demonstrated that the proposed son Knyvett did not exist [NEHGR 40:261-68]. Four yrs later, May published a genealogy of the family [The Descendants of Richard Sares (Sears) of Yarmouth, Mass., 1638-1888 (Albany 1890)].
In 1948 Dddonald Lines Jacobus prepared a brief account of the family of Richard Sears [Brainerd Anc 257-58]

NOTES: "A Short Story of Arthur Morrison Rawson" as told by himself & finished by another fam member pg 145 of Rawson Fam Gen Bk cc Pam Hallmark Wagner:

I, Arthur Morrison Rawson, was the 9th child of Horace Strong & Elizabeth Coffin Rawson. I was born 17 June 1840 in Nauvoo, Hancock Co, Ill. When I was about 2 yrs old father moved to Lima Branch in the Yelrome Stake where we resided until the exodus from Nauvoo in 1846.
We 1st stopped at Mt Piscus where we planted a crop & stayed until June or July, then we came to Kainsville & settled abt 2 mi up Muskcrat Crk, 1 mile west of Old Indian Mill. There we cleared off a nice farm where we lived one yr. Fthr sold out to Wm Coffin, mthr's cousin & we made another home abt 1/2 mi west, where we lived until spring of 1850 when we sold to a Mr Wolfe, & then we started for the Valley of the Mtns.
We joined Pres Wilford Woodruff's Co & were in Capt E Whipple's 10 fams. I helped to drive. Experiences while traveling...one day when we were traveling up the Platt Rvr, dogs got aft an old buffalo & he started toward the train, frightened a team of horses & in a few minutes a doz or more teams were running in all directions. Our dear old mthr was in the wagon, sick with cholera, but she took no harm, for our team did not run, but there was a terrible excitement, cattle bellering, men hollering & women crying. One woman was run over & badly hurt. Soon got everything in shape & arrive in SL pretty well tired out but glad to get there.
We all went to Ogden & settled between 8-9th Streets until Ogden City layed out, when we moved houses & everything we could on lots, in the city, lying just south & east of where the PO is no located.
The winter of 1850 I attended school in Browns Fort. The next yr I went to school in the 1st one built in this part. Early spring I hired out to John Thomas to drive a team & plow his farm, then I worked for Edward Bunker, helping him get his crops in. I went to sev different schools, then we moved to Kaysville & bought a farm from Allen Taylor near the foot of east mtns, nr Bares saw mill-put a large crop in & planned for a splendid harvest, but in July, the swarm of grasshoppers destroyed all the crops, so in the fall we moved to Farmington, where I went to school. Next spring we rented land & planted corn & raised a fine crop. This was the hardest time we ever had in the valley. We saved some corn & fodder for Br Clark & ourselves, but we lost most of ours, as well as everyone who turned their stock out onto the range-most had to that winter.
In the spring of 1857, we sold out & moved to Payson UT. I worked for my bro Daniel, went to school, then worked for the Church, helping Joseph & Brigham Young take care of the Church stock. We drove them west of town on the lake shores, as that was good feed grass, then to the east shore. We stayed home at night, then rounded the poor cattle & drove them to parts that had the best feed. In that way, we saved nearly all of the Church herd. In the spring I went to work for the Bishopric, working in the canyon lumbering & making roads & working on the meeting house.
24 May 1857 - ordained a Seventy by Daniel B Rawson. That fall Johnson's army came to UT & our Militia was called out to keep them from coming into the valley. I was kept home to haul wood & ride express. My bro was brought home with rheumitism & I looked after him & my bro Daniel's fam, besides my mthr & fthr & others.
I had sown part of the winter wheat & after getting Wm's crop in & fthr's work done, I went up Provo Canyon & contracted 2 mi of road for the summer. After putting up hay, I went to Camp Floyd & made dobies until I earned $300 in gold. Ran a wagon & peddled while, then hired out to Br Thorn to thrash wheat at Payson, then went to Ft Ephraim & thrashed.
3 Feb 1859 - md Margaret Angeline Pace, living in Payson until 1860 when we moved to Ogden. We have raised a fam of 10 children, burying 2.

RAWSON, Arthur 39/IL (NY/VA) farmer, md

1889-1891 HIST: Encyclopedic Hist of the Church, Andrew Jensen, p 22, also Treasures of Pioneer History V2 p486, says almost the same thing, except "part of great Snake River Valley, in which nearly all inhabitants are farmers and stock raisers":

"Ammon Ward is an outgrowth of Iona...suggested by the Book of Mormon, honoring Ammon, son of King Mosiah and a great missionary to the Lamanites. As the Snake River Valley filled up with Latter-Day Saints, and a number of families located south of Iona, these were organized into a Branch of the Church 26 Nove 1889, called S Iona Branch, with Arthur M RAWSON as presiding Elder. This Branch was organized as a ward in 1891, with Arthur M RAWSON as Bishop..."

1889-1913 HIST: Treasures of Pioneer History v2 p486: The first public school building was log structure and used for church and school purposes. It was built on same property as marker (shown on same page) ...and where present church and shool buildings are located. The land where the RAWSON home was located is in private hands, so this marker was placed on church grounds where it could stay for all time. It says:
"This village, first called South Iona, was settled by Latter-day Saints. A branch of the church was org Nov 26 1889, with Arthur M Rawson as presiding Elder. Later he became Bishop. On 12 Feb 1893, the Ward was changed to Ammon, honoring the son of King Mosiah of the Book of Mormon history, a great missionary to the Lamanites. The first public building was made of logs and was erected on this site to serve as both church and school. The present brick meeting house was built in 1912-13"...Bonneville Co ID

1900-02 HIST: Heart Throbs of the West v8 pg 185-86:
"As people moved ever westward to seek new frontiers of trade, adventure and land, so did LDS become colonizers of other states beside Utah. In 1889 David Eccles and John Stoddard became interested in lumber business in N Powder OR, a thriving town on Old OR Trail between Baker and LaGrande. These 2 men org OR Lumber Co...mills were immediately built at N Powder, Pleasant Valley, Hood River, and Baker. Among the employees were LDS. The missionaries from San Diego CA, who labored in OR as early as 1851, began to seek out these saints and encourage them in church work.
In 1900 Charles W Nibley and George Stoddard purchases an 8,000 acre tract of land in the Grand Rhonde Valley...made a settlement on it....Arthur M Rawson was the first permanent settler. There were 9 LDS families located there when a townsite was surveyed and named "Nibley" in honor of Charles W. A frame building, a meeting house, was constructed in 1901. The branch was organized Mar 17, 1901. Samuel Southwick was president of the branch. When Union Stake was org pm 9 Jun 1901, William J. Rawson was chosen as bishop of Nibley Ward.
By 1902 Nibley was a thriving Mormon settlement and many more families moved in. Among these were the Rawsons, Sargents, Roundye, Dewell, Wm David Hanks, Joel H Orton, HJ Neilson, Reuben Hiatt, Francis Hiatt... Joe Lae GROW (??) ...and other families.
One of the early pioneers of Nibley used to say, "We were never lonely; we could laugh at anything because no tragedy came our way. Did the wind blow terrifically? Oh, es but we laughed at that too. Our social life was enjoyable. We knew it took us all to have a good dancing party, so we all came. The young folks of Cove and nearby towns, who were not of our faith, came to join in our social life. Mr. Marion L Carter, not a member of our church, was violinist and he also wrote a poem about our town. Then there Geo R Lyman with dancing feet and and happy heart, who also had a violin and Wm David Hanks at the piano, we had music fit for a king. Babies were parked on the bed almost under the heap of coats, plenty of food and fun."
