  • Notes 
    • (The following is a writing by Dale Arthur Parkes May 1999/ edited by Cindy Parkes Barnett) John, Anna, and 2 year old Clara (from Eastwood Branch, Nottingham, Conference, who joined the Church with 321 British, 213 Scandinavia, and 57 Swiss/German saints totalling 609 European Saints) Left Liverpool in September to emigrate to America and head west to Utah. They boarded and traveled in the Steamship, Wyoming. An Elder Henry W. Naisbitt, returning home from his British Mission in the offices, was chosen from among 17 returning LDS missionaries on the trip as "captain" of the "band" of Mormons for the duration of the journey. He wrote a letter detailing the start of the voyage to the British LDS periodical, The Millennial Star of (which he had been and editor), recording that the first night of their crossing (en route to Queenstown from Liverpool) was terrible. The weather and seas were so bad that none were exempt from seasickness. No one even considered eating the breakfast provided on board the next morning. The Wyoming, a faithful ship the carried thousands of LDS to America, made this crossing in 11 days and arrived at the port of New York on 25 Sep 1878. One life, that of an old gentleman, was lost during the voyage and his body was buried at sea. This was an unusual foreshadowing of a tragic event that would impact the lives of the John Orson Parkes family when William Parkes would attempt to join his son, daughter-in-law, and grand daughters Clara and Mary in Utah 3 years later in 1881. It took 11 days on the ship, seven days on a chartered train to arrive in Salt Lake City 3 Oct 1878. John Orson was 30.5 yrs. and Anna was 20.5 and nearing the end of their 2nd pregnancy when they left Liverpool. On 28 Oct 1878 (just 25 days after arriving in Utah) Mary Parkes was born in Hoytsville in Summit County, Utah. (Hoytsville is located just off current-day I-80 between Wanship and Coalivlle, Utah. (Not sure why they were there), and by the time their 3rd child was born: John Henry (Jack) Parkes on 8 Jul 1881, the family had relocated to Bountiful, Davis County, Utah. While living in Bountiful they have 4 more children: Annie, Charles Edward (my grandpa), Joseph Arthur (who died at 3 years of age), and Jessie Parkes, between Jul 1881 and Dec 1890. Their next 3 children born between Apr 1893 and May 1899 in Salt Lake City were, Frank Moroni, Myrtle Lillian, and Ruth Minnie. John Orson and Anna Maria receive their endowments and are sealed in eternal marriage in the Endowment house located on the north of the Salt Lake Temple lot. (the temple would not be finished for 11 more years). Their two oldest children, Clara (67) and Mary (65) were sealed to them on 6 May 1843 AFTER the death of their parents, but Dale says he could not find any record of their first son (John Henry) being sealed to them at that time or ever.
