Notes
a. Note:   Deathdate: archive record = 1840, other fam. grp. sheets = 1844 Birthdate Variable: 1765 This Sarah Shannon Leavitt joined the Church in life; if the death date given is correct, she died in 1839/40 about the same time her son Weir Leavitt died, in the same place he settled, Will County, Illinois. There may be more records there. She was probably living with Weir at that time. 16 Sept 1879 is one proxy baptism date for her; but there should be one performed during her life. She and several of her children went to Illinois to join the Mormons; they settled in Twelve Mile Grove, in Will County (which was created from Cook County in 1836), where she died and where her son Weir died (both 1839); her son Jeremiah died in 1846 while in Iowa to get supplies for his family who lived in Nauvoo. Some of the daughters died before reaching the West. Descendants of Weir and Jeremiah came to Utah, as did several of Sarah's daughters and others of her sons, and descendants of those who died before the migration to Utah. Some of her children, however, did not join the LDS Church, and some may have joined but not remained active. (Two of her sons, Nathaniel and Josiah, are listed as dying in Michigan, and probably were part of the 1837 migration to Illinois, but did not come West.) Her descendants gathered into the WALF database number abt 59, 559 as of 11 Oct 2004. JVL Country Profiles -- article printed by the LDS Church: Canada-Quebec Missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1830's frequently traveled through but found little success in Lower Canada, as the province of Quebec was then called. They found proselyting difficult among its largely French-speaking people. In 1836, however, Hazen Aldrich and Winslow Farr proselyted in Stanstead County and baptized a number of people. Twenty-three of these emigrated on 20 July 1837. After the 1840s, missionary work slowed as many Canadian Church members joined other Latter-day Saints who were gathering in the western United States.
