Notes

Married:

MARRIAGE: The source for marriage at Bucks Co, Pennsylvania is Ancestral File. The location can not be correct considering the Cloward family resided in Nauvoo, Illinois in the 1840s and in the 1850s in Iowa. It is assumed Jacob migrated to Utah in 1851 and but there is a conflict of source material in which 'Susanah Mendenhall' is listed as migrating to Utah in 1852 in the David Wood Company.

Notes	NAME: Myrtle Kump Nichols records indicate name is Jacob Albert Cloward. This is interesting considering eight fellow brothers and sisters have a middle name, while Jacob does not. BIRTH: 1880 U.S. Census indicates Jacob was born in Delaware, in addition to both his parents. MIGRATION: There is at least one family history that indicates Jacob Cloward, Jr. is NOT the pioneer who traveled in the 1847 company to Salt Lake City. There are doubts, however, considering Jacob's brother, Thomas Poulson Cloward, also traveled to the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. It is assumed that both Thomas Poulson Cloward and Jacob Cloward returned for their families at Winter Quarters by 1850 (they're both recorded in the 1850 census in Iowa), then again returned to Utah due to their father, Jacob Cloward, Sr., passing away Dec 1851 at Utah Co, Utah. MARRIAGE: There are several marriage differences on Pedigree Resource Files indicating marriage on 5 Dec, but on differrent years varying from 1848 through 1853 at Bucks, Pennsylvania. This would mean Jacob and Susannah's marriage on 5 Dec 1851 took place at Utah, not Pennsylvania as is listed in Ancestral File. ADD'L MARRIAGE: There is a reference at ancestry.com listing a 'Jacob Cloward' who married a 'Elizabeth Yearsley' 24 Mar 1849 at Pottawattamie Co, Iowa. Is it possible Jacob married her and she passed away?

Sunday, 5th. There being alkali springs near, we concluded to go to Independence Rock at which place we arrived about three o'clock having traveled twelve and a half miles. Soon after we camped, Lamb and Jacob Cloward went to chase some buffalo and succeeded in killing one. I walked over the rock and had some solemn meditations and felt to humble myself and call upon the Lord for myself and family, for this company, the twelve and all the companies on the road. Experience has taught me many maxims of late and I intend to profit by them. Be not hasty to promise, lest thy promise be considered worthless. Make not many promises without reflection, test thou fail to fulfill them and it dampen the confidence of thy friend. If thou promise many things and regard not to fulfill them and it damp the confidence of thy friend, then be assured that thy friends will despise thy promises and have no dependence in them. Seek not to speculate out of a good brother.
