General Notes (Husband)

[Descendants of Thomas Durfee by Charles L. Durfee - charlesldurfee.GED]

Elizabeth and Jabez had no issue.

Most of this family were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Mormons.

When the U. S. 1820 census of Lenox, Berkshire County, MAdison County, NY, was taken Jabez's family was 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-18, 1 male 26-45, 2 females under 10, and 1 female 26-45. The males 10-16 and 16-18 could be nephews, cousins or hired help.

According to the 1860 census George was born in Ohio, in 1823, so Jabez probably moved from New York, to Ohio 1820-1823.

When the U. S. 1830 census of New London (Ruggles Twp.) Huron County, OH, was taken Jabez's family was 1 male 5-10, 1 male 30-40, 2 females under 5, 2 female 5-10, 2 female 10-15, and 1 female 30-40. Living very nearby were his brothers Edmund and Perry.

On June 7, 1835, the Mormons gathered to celebrate the near completion of a new Temple in Kirkland, OH. Among those blessed for their work on the Temple were Edmund Durfee, his brothers James and Jabez and Edmund's son Edmund, Jr. At this same time Edmund Durfee, Junior was ordained an elder.

The information on Jabez's second wife is from Mrs. Jennifer Boger of Montclair, Essex County, NJ, in 1985. She cites as her source the Marriage Records of Clay County, MO, 1822-1852. According to Marriage Index, Selected States, 1728-1850, Clay County, MO, Family Tree Maker, Marriages Bundle CD Rom # 227, Jabez Durfee and Elizabeth Brackenburg (Brackenbury) were married March 3, 1834, in Clay County, MO. She was the widow of Joseph Brackenbury.

When the U. S. 1840 census of Hancock County, IL was taken Jabez's family was 1 male 5-10, 2 males 10-15, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 40-50, 1 female 15-20, and 1female 40-50. If Electa did die in 1834 it would appear that Jabez remarried and the 40-50 year old female was his second wife. Living very nearby were his brothers Perry and Edmund and his nephew Perry Durfee, son of his brother James.

Jabez was listed on the 1842, Nauvoo, Illinois Tax Index. From Ancestry.com, January 2000.

Jabez's third marriage to the widow of his brother Edmund is from a biography of Edmund and Lana in the LDS Archives in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, UT.

General Notes for Child Abigail Durfee

Birth/Death Source: Robert Carter's information

Maiden name from Jennifer Boger (jenboger@sprynet.com) 1/00 (was unknown)

[Descendants of Thomas Durfee by Charles L. Durfee - charlesldurfee.GED]

Most of this family were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Mormons.

Mrs. Jennifer Boger of Montclair, Essex County, NJ, in 1985, sent a family group sheet from the LDS Archives in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, UT, that was prepared by Mrs. Ceclia D. Tolman of Salt Lake City. It is not dated but the latest entry on the sheet is 1924. The sheet states that Abigail was born in Tiverton, Newport County, RI, and it gives the names of Gilbert Gouldsmith's parents. It is extremely unlikely that Abigail was born in Tiverton in 1816, as her grandmother and aunts and uncles were all living in New York long before 1816.

General Notes for Child Julia A. Durfee

From Memoirs of Joseph Smith III - RLDS President

The first teacher with whom I recollect studying wa s M i s s J ulia Durfee, daughter of a church member by th e na m e o f Jab ez Durfee. She and her sister Servilla wer e emp lo ye d by m y mother, the former as a seamstress an d the l att e r as a ma id-of-all-work. Not having enough w ork in t he s ew ing line t o occupy all of Miss Durfee's t ime and a ttent io n Mother tho ught it prudent to have he r assist i n our e duc ation, and m y sister Julia and I we re placed u nder he r car e for this pu rpose. Thus our ear liest instru ction wa s rece ived in the ho me.

There was no public school in Nauvoo at the time no r u n t i l after the city was incorporated. Even then I th in k se ve ra l more years elapsed before the public schoo l sy ste m o f th e state became so far perfected that ther e wer e es tabl ishe d schools of that sort. At all events , it wa s Mis s Dur fee w ho, for a stipend, taught us in o ur hom e the fu ndamen tals o f what education we were afte rward s able to a cquire.

Miss Wheeler

The arrangement with Miss Durfee evidently did not con t i n u e long, for what reason I do not know, and my nex t re co ll ec tion of lessons takes in a school held in th e litt l e lo g bu ilding on the riverbank, under the big w alnut t re e. Th is sc hool was taught by a Miss (or Mrs. ) Wheeler , wh o afte rwards , I believe, became a Mrs. Oln ey. So man y Sai nts ha d move d in during the fall of 183 9 and the su mmer o f 184 0 that i t became impracticable t o continue th e pla n of tea ching chi ldren in their homes.
