Descendants
of George Allen Wadsworth are related to many of the main characters involved
in the kidnapping of Little James Wadsworth as shown below. In addition, these
descendants are related to John and Charles Pulsipher since their sister, Eliza
Jane Pulsipher, married Thomas Sirls Terry, and three of their daughters, Eliza
Jane Terry, Sarah Mariah Terry and Josephine Rebecca Terry, married sons of
George Allen Wadsworth and Elizabeth Broadbent Wadsworth. Both John and Charles
were part of the Nauvoo Legion during the Utah War. These great grand uncles,
John, Charles and William Pulsipher,
were also rescuers of the beleaguered 1856 handcart Saints including
Annie Hicks [Free] and Uncle James Wadsworth’s family of the Hunt Company. Some descendants are also the great grand
nieces and nephews of Brigham Young via his wife Emeline Free and of Daniel H
Wells via Louisa and Hannah Free. Therefore they are related to William Goodall Young, the
Captain of George A Wadsworth’s wagon train, to Phineas Young and to Brigham
Young’s sister [albeit only by marriage], Nancy Kent, who was also in the William
G Young wagon train. There are more members in each family than shown below as
revealed in the genealogy section of GAW.
Those with * belonged to the early Pilley, England Branch of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ~ Mary Cotton’s death is the only entry
for her in the early Pilley Branch Records. @ means the people were members of
the Church but not members of the Pilley Branch in Yorkshire, England. And, as
you can see, our relationship to Judge Eckels is by marriage only. Still it is
intriguing to find ourselves on all sides of this most interesting historical
event.
