The following history of Mary Haskins was compiled by Ila Vee Hamblin Larsen and she writes, "Mary Haskins was born November 15, 1814, to Joel and Elizabeth Farr Haskins, in Dutchess County, New York. Joel was born August 29, 1774, in Dutchess County, New York to Joel and Rachel Hayte or Haight Haskins. Elizabeth was born June 26, 1782. Joel and Elizabeth had 6 children: Phoebe, Bela, Elizabeth, and Mary who were born in Dutchess County, New York. The family later moved to Miegs County, Ohio, where Joel was born July 6, 1817, and Moses or Morris was born January 10, 1822."
"Mary Haskins married Ezbon Child April 2, 1835, in Athens County, Ohio. Ezbon was born October 5, 1812, also in Athens County, Ohio. They had five children all born in Carthage, Athens, Ohio. They are Seth, Amanda, Joel, Jason, and Mary Hannah. Mary and Ezbon joined the Mormon Church. She was baptized in October, 1843. (I found no record of Esbon's baptism into the Mormon Church, but I found a record of his ordination to the office of a Seventy in 1836 by Hazen Aldredge.) According to the will Ezbon made April 22, 1850, they owned a farm of about 202 acres and they resided in Carthage, Ohio. He left this plus all cattle, household goods etc. to Mary, appointing his beloved wife Mary, guardian of all their children and named her Executrix of his last will and testament. Ezbon died the next day April 23, 1850. They were preparing to go to Utah with a group of the Saints that year. It is said that Ezbon went to see some of his relatives to tell them good bye and that he became ill and died quite unexpectedly the next day. He must have realized that he might die and wrote out his will. Mary sold their home there and they left that fall. It was Ezbon's wish that they spend the winter in Illinois and that is what they did. Amanda was 12, Joel 11, Jason 9 and Young Mary was 2 years old."
Mary's daughter, Amanda Child Foutz, tells of their trip West, "We started for Utah again in the spring of 1851, and did not meet anything serious until we got into the rivers country. Here we had to wait days for an English Company they told us was coming. We got past the river all right, but we came nearly getting capsized in the Missouri River. Our two wagons were the last of the company to cross, and they put a lot of loose cattle on the old flat boat with us. They got scared of something and all ran to one side of the boat and it began to dip water, and some of the men ran among them and chased them back. We were nine weeks from Illinois to Missouri. We spent some time in Kanesville where my mother stopped to get our supplies, two yoke of oxen, two cows and a wagon. We traveled in the same company with the English people I mentioned, but were in the same ten which George D. Watt was captain of. John Brown was captain of the fifty we crossed with. We were eleven weeks from the Missouri River to Salt Lake. (The LDS records say that the John Brown Company left Kanesville July 17th and arrived in Salt Lake in Oct. They had 50 wagons.) We arrived in Utah in time to see plenty of crickets and seagulls. I got a drink of poisoned water at the poison springs and was sick for 2 or 3 days."
Continuing with story compiled with Ila Vee Hamblin Larsen, "They arrived in October with general prosperity and little or no sickness. Amanda said that her mother did a lot of pioneering after she came to Utah. At first they lived in Lehi in a fort to protect them from the Indians.
Mary married James Naylor Jones as his second wife in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, February 9, 1852. Their son, Joshua Oliver Jones, was born March 28, 1853, at Lehi, Utah. Mary and James were divorced a year later.
In 1855 or 56, Mary married John Reynolds and became his third wife. They had one daughter, Rosanna, who was born May 23, 1857, in Pleasant Grove, Utah. It was called Battle Creek then. While Mary lived there she received her Patriarchal blessing. From Pleasant Grove they moved to Goshen, then to Moroni, to Circle Valley and then to Beaver. They lived in poverty, having barely enough to sustain them. They moved back to Moroni, Mary died there June 1, 1872, in her 58th year. Her husband John, was in Beaver at the time. When he was told of her death he collapsed. He died a month later. Mary is buried in Moroni, Utah. The name on her headstone reads 'Mary Haskins Child'. Compliled by Ila Vee Hamblin Larsen from information from Beth L. Peterson and Elda Lyman Adams, a family group sheet in the Archives of the LDS Genealogy Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, and from the will of Esbon Childs and the history of Amanda Childs Foutz.
