Mountain Meadows Massacre Descendants

Soloman Wood and his brother William Wood are my GG Uncles. You may contact me at dgencarelli1@cox.net.

Is there any news on the location and dates for the annual meeting this year?

When I did what Mormons are suppose to do, study things out in theirs mind… this whole event became very overwhelming for me. It was like the internet was giving me clues to the truth. First when I read a quote from Joseph Smith Jr. That “He feared for his life because he spoke out against Brigham young and his teaching of blood atonement. When I learned that Brigham young taught “killing you neighbor is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself… are you willing to do this?”. “This is not what the Lord ment,if I caught one of my wife’s in adaultry, I would put a javelin threw her heart. When I read that Brigham young organized the robbery of the wagon train, in that first raid 8 people were killed. The information for me was when i read about the killing of the children in the wagon train and that the only ones that were saved were under the age of eight. I got so sick inside because I knew that Mormons believe that every child under the age of eight is without sin and I knew that Brigham teaching of blood atonement had been carried out. These early saints believed because of the teaching of their prophet that killing these people was a way of loving their neighbor as themself because they were helping them to receive interance into the kingdom of heaven by paying for the blood of the prophet Joseph Smith and or parsley p. prait by their own blood being shed, according to the teaching from their prophet Brigham young. Joseph Smith Jr was right, this was a faults doctrine and teaching. Which lead to killing of men, women and children.
I will write more latter, it s just to overwhelming to grasp it all. That universities are named after this man, that t-shirts and hats bear his name. That his picture is put on books and taught at church. Brigham talked the Indians into robbing the wagon train along with the help of early saints dressed up like Indians. If I had my friends Rob a bank and eight people were killed I would be put on trial for murder, like charley madson or hitler. If I billed the United States government for the robbery of the wagon train and recieved compensation for it, I would be thrown in jail for fraud. But not Brigham young, he makes sick to my stonach,

William Wood was my Greatx4 Grandfather. He and his brother, Solomon, also killed, were responsible for the cattle herd.
Does anyone know of any reunions planned in Arkansas or Mountain Meadows this year?

I’m a direct descendant if Nancy Huff Cates. I’d love to find more distant relatives here if so please contact me at abuckley7689@gmail.com thank you!

My name is Leonard Griffiths and I and my family are descendants on my Mother’s side, of William Campbell and Martha Beller, Jr. Had Martha not been pregnant, at the time of the departure of the Baker-Fancher wagon train, I and my relatives would never have been born. My Mother was Dorothy Lulabell Beller Griffiths and she was born in Indianola, Oklahoma Indian Territory in 1905. My 2 living brothers (Dennis & Lynn) and my 1 living sister (Reba Jo Griffiths Hitchcock) plus my cousin (William Travis Weesner) are all involved in the study of the MMM. – There is so much that I would like to share about my ggUncle David W. Beller (younger brother of William Campbell Beller, Jr.), but that’s enough for now. It is good to be able to connect with you through our common heritage. Keep in mind that the book: “The First 9/11 in America” is a historical/novel and I, humbly, became the person of 12 year-old David W. Beller. (It’s all there, in the book)

I have been researching this event since I was able to verify relatives that were involved.
I used research for a college paper. I became aware that I have relatives from Arkansas that were traveling with the wagon train. But due to marriage I also may have relatives that members of the militia. I have suspicions but have not established factual proof. I have been to the site twice and would very much like to attend again. I’ll look forward to receiving information

W.T Nebeker my mother has told us since we were young that her grandfather was a survivor. He remained in Utah and the truth was hidden for fear of retribution from the Mormons. On 9/11/2020 for some strange reason I ended up at the site and my mothers words were once again fresh. She had stated that her father took her there on horse back in 1932 and showed her the real grave site about one mile to the west over a small hill. Her story has always haunted me, and I have a deep desire to find the truth.

Appears someone is trying to make it look like my family is related to John D Lee. My grandson was just murdered. My dad was murdered. My dads dad was a Sinclair. She was adopted by Joseph Wilson. Brother of Woodrow Wilson. His wife died in Texas and she was adopted. Adopted by descendants of John D Lee. They were the family that married Jesse Curry. My grandmother married Walt Disney. Her son murdered in California. Then she married someone that was murdered before my dad was born. He was adopted by Disney. No way he was a Lee. My grandmother adopted sister(descendant of John d Lee ) stole the Sinclair oil company from them.
