History of William G. Thompson
Contributed By Gracie Rose Platt · 14 June 2013

William G. Thompson; a pioneer of 1851; was born 1806 at Longloan, near Coatbridge, Scotland. He was the oldest son of David Thompson and Jean Wetherspoon. There was a family of twelve; six boys and six girls. He married Elizabeth McCauley of Portnahaven, Islay, Scotland, in 1831. Immigrated to America in 1833, locating in Canada with one son; here two more sons were born. Here also he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The family traveled west to be with the Church and joined the Saints in Missouri at the time of the persecutions and drivings. Here my mother was born, August l6, 1838. We next find them living in Quincy, Illinois, where two more children, a boy and girl, were born; and the baby and wife and mother died in July and October of 1845. In letters written to his parents in Scotland, while living in Quincy, Illinois, he tells of his troubles and how thankful for the gospel and urges them to go listen to the Elders laboring in Scotland, he also tells of his work, which was raising garden truck, milking cows etc., and compared prices. He says, "David cares for cows and chores, Daniel keeping house and caring for the younger children, and William helping at a doctor's house." Also tells of the killing of the Prophets and the burning of homes, etc. Be was very anxious to get a letter back by spring as they would go west with the Saints to find a place where they could be in peace. From Quincy he would go to Nauvoo to meetings and conferences. The next stop was at Garden Grove; crossing the plains in the Company of Hector Haight. They arrived in Salt Lake in the fall of 1851, stopping a short time in Salt Lake City, then coming to Bountiful, then known as Sessions Settlement. So William G, Thompson, and family of four sons and one daughter were true pioneers. David W. Thompson was called to protect people in Sanpete from Indians. He married and located in Ephriam, Utah. Daniel Thompson and Orvil Thompson were early settlers of Fillmore and Scipio, Utah. William Thompson settled in Richmond, Utah, and Maria married and after two years in Nevada came back and lived with her father and cared for him. There were other William Thompsons in the community when he took out his citizenship papers on June l, 1868, so he added the initial "G" to his name. He was licensed to preach the Gospel, December 25, 1844, signed by Enos Curtis, presiding Elder. He also had a membership and attended the School of Prophets, which was held in Salt Lake City. He died on December 5, 1876 on the farm and home that he located on in 1851. Several years ago I visited an aged lady friend of his. She said, "Brother Thompson used to visit us, and what a lovely hymn singer he was in his sleep." (By Elizabeth "Lizzie" HATCH [1871-1956]. In an email dated 10 June 2003, Lisa TALBERT identifies Lizzie HATCH as a daughter of Martha Marie THOMPSON HATCH, a daughter of William G. THOMPSON who was born in Caldwell, Missouri on 16 Aug 1836. Lisa noticed that the author states her mother was a child of William G. and was born in Missouri on 16 Aug 1836 and that Martha Marie THOMPSON's children would be surnamed HATCH because she married Orin HATCH.)

William married Elizabeth MacAulay 8 Mar 1831, Sunderland, Cumbria, United Kingdom. Elizabeth (daughter of Donald MacAulay and Mary McNiven) was born 1805, Argyllshire, Scotland, United Kingdom; died 7 Oct 1845, Quincy, Adams, Illinois, United States; was buried Oct 1845, Quincy, Adams, Illinois, United States.

History of Daniel Thompson
Contributed By Gracie Rose Platt · 14 June 2013

Daniel Thompson of Scipio, Utah Daniel Thompson, son of William G. Thompson and Elizabeth McAuley, was born 25 December 1834 in Markham, York, Ontario, Canada. His parents had immigrated to York, Ontario, Canada in about 1833. It was in Canada that his parents were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by Orson Hyde in 1836. The family then left Canada to join the saints in Missouri. They also followed them to Illinois and lastly Salt Lake City, Utah. The Thompson family settled in Bountiful, Davis, Utah after their arrival to Utah in 1851. In February of 1852, Daniel accompanied Bishop [Noah] Bartholomew to Fillmore, Millard, County, Utah. He was also employed by Bishop Bartholomew for a time. Daniel served in the Utah militia for a period in 1853. When the people of Fillmore, Utah heard news of the massacre of Captain Gunnison and eleven of his party encamped near the Sevier River by a band of Pahvant Indians on 26 October 1853, Daniel was sent to dispatch the news to Salt Lake City. He was also sent to the sight of the massacre to help identify the remains. Daniel married Lorinda Elizabeth Bronson, daughter of Leman Bronson and Lucy Brass on 4 May 1854 in Fillmore, Millard, Utah. Lorinda was born 23 December 1836 in Brownstown, Wayne, Michigan and died 20 June 1907 in Scipio, Millard, Utah. Being an immigrant to the United States from Canada, Daniel was naturalized 22 November 1855 in Fillmore, Millard County, Utah Territory. Daniel served in his church and civically. He accepted a call from the Church to serve as the presiding authority over the Scipio branch after the citizens had moved out of the fort in 1868. One year later, he was ordained the bishop. On 1 January 1869, Daniel married in polygamy Lydia Ann Ivie, daughter of James A. Ivie and Elizabeth Porter. Lydia was born 27 September 1850 in Provo, Utah, Utah and died 9 January 1920 in Nephi, Juab, Utah. The United Order was put into place in 1874 with Daniel Thompson as president. After 14 years as bishop, he served as first counselor to Ira N. Hinckley in the Millard Stake presidency. Daniel also served two terms on the Utah legislature. On February 28, 1889, Daniel was indicted for unlawful cohabitation. His wives Lorinda and Lydia along with sons W.D. and James were subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury. It appears no trial was ever held on this charge. Daniel later said that Mary Johnson [of Scipio] hid him in her upstairs for weeks when officers were after him. She was the only one who knew where he was and she kept it an absolute secret. Daniel and Lydia’s marriage was legalized after the death of Lorinda, his first wife. Many in the community loved and looked up to Daniel, and he was once described as a kindly-faced man. Daniel’s died on 29 July 1912 in Scipio, Millard Utah. His funeral was attended by 800 people, from local citizens to general authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Children with Lorinda: 1.
