_____________________________________________________
Lyman SIMPSON, a grandson of
Dr. Jonathan KING, moved to Blackford County, Indiana about 1840 after
the death of his wife my gr. gr. gr. grandmother Mary Ann CLAPP SIMPSON.
Shortly after his move to Indiana, Lyman SIMPSON married a widow lady
Clarissa BALDWIN PUTNAM who was born in Cavendish, Vermont. Her deceased
husband Kendall PUTNAM was also from Cavendish. (Wonder if he is tied
to the KENDALLS who have been posted recently?) I believe Clarissa and
Kendall PUTNAM'S children were born in Vermont. At least some of
Clarissa BALDWINS siblings also moved to Blackford County as did several
of the PUTNAMS. The PUTNAM males all contracted some type of illness
and the sons all died in their prime. Strangely their older father
survived the disease. The PUTNAM parents went back to Cavendish after
their sons deaths.
I am not connected in any way to these families from Cavendish other
than that my ancestor married one of them. I did look at a copy of the
book "Families of Cavendish : the early settlers of the Black River
Valley in Windsor County, Vermont : a social and genealogical history"
and was delighted to find part of someone's diary who had make a trip to
Blackford. I found out that Lyman and Clarissa SIMPSON had an apple
orchard. I had known hardly anything about my SIMPSON line. My gr. gr.
grandmother was raised mostly in Illinois and Missouri so really didn't
know her family. I have also gleaned a little other information from
various searches of Blackford County records.
Hope this was of interest to someone and that it may someday help
someone searching for these families.

Clarissa Lyman mentioned HIstory of Dartmouth Lucy Smith
Family Formation
Stephen introduced his sister Lucy to Joseph Smith Sr. The couple was soon married in January 1796 [5]
A Spiritual Experience
In 1803 Lucy also had her well-known seeker dream in which she first saw Joseph Sr.'s spiritual flexibility as a tree bending gracefully in the wind, preparing to receive the gospel of the Son of God as compared with Joseph's brother Jesse's resistance as a pillar of marble. [17] Lucy was clearly conflicted by this family situation. However, to begin to understand this dream it is necessary to review the context of the development of the religious discourse in the upper Connecticut and White River Valleys. In 1769 Eleazar Wheelook founded Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, to teach the Native Americans, prepare missionaries, and train ministers for the rapidly growing towns in the region [18] -- including Elijah Lyman [19] and Solomon Aikens, [20] uncles of Joseph Sr.'s later sisters-in-law, Clarissa Lyman and Mary Aikens.
