A HISTORY OF MARY TAYLOR HIATT
By Jeanne Oliphant Guymon (1991)
A great-great granddaughterMary Taylor Hiatt daughter of Sterling Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor was born 27 October 1823 in Surry County, North Carolina. Her mother's father, Benjamin Taylor, lived many years on this North Carolina farm near Stoney Creek. It is felt that he named this creek after the Stoney Creek in Lunenburg County, Virginia, just across the state line, as Thomas Taylor Jr., Mary's great-grandfather had owned one or more farms described as being on Stony Creek in Virginia.
Her grandfather, Benjamin Taylor bought some Stoney Creek property in 1829 from William Hiatt, [Mary's husband grandfather] when he sold out as others of his family had previously done and moved to Ohio where most of the Quakers had moved from North Carolina. This property had therefore been in the possession of both sides of the family - the Taylors and the Hiatts.
Mary's ancestor, Rev. Daniel Taylor came to America in 1703. He settled in that portion of York County, Virginia that is now Kent, and served as the Rector of Blissland Parish Episcopal Church from 1704 to 1729.
Mary's mother, Elizabeth Taylor was an elder sister of Thomas Taylor who married Mary Ann Danley. Mary Ann Danley is the mother of Martha Ellen Taylor who married my great-grandfather, James Madison Hiatt. Thomas Taylor and Mary Ann Danley and their family joined the Church and emigrated to Utah in 1869 in the same company of saints as James Madison Hiatt.
Mary Taylor Hiatt felt very sad to have her first son, James Madison, leave to go to Utah in 1869 but when two more sons left in the 1880's she felt devastated. She felt she would never see them again. She joined the Mormon Church the same year as her son James Madison according to the North Carolina LDS Church History. She wrote a letter to her son James in Utah after he had been there for a few years. She explains her feelings in this letter - why she did not go west with the rest of the converts of the Church. This letter is included in Chapter Two entitled "From the Carolinas to Utah".
Mary Taylor Hiatt lived out her life on the Stoney Creek property in North Carolina. Her husband, William, preceded her in death in 1891 and she died in 1899 in the Old Hiatt Home near Mt. Airy, Surry County, North Carolina. They were buried in the Hiatt Cemetary located on the Hiatt farm. A picture of the gravestone is on page 32 of this book.FROM THE CAROLINAS TO UTAH
By James Franklin Hiatt
Son of James Madison Hiatt
Story of Mary Taylor Hiatt and her familyAmid the rolling hills of the Carolinas, at the close of the Civil War, many people are confronted with a new problem--much different from the one with which they have so recently struggled. Now it is not, "How can we be saved from the effects of powder and ball - of shot and shell", but "How can we be saved from the effects of our own sins". Being naturally of a religious disposition, or frame of mind, they eagerly investigate any and all plans claiming to point the way in which the Master would have them go. "Therefore the Latter Day Saint Elders have little difficulty in delivering their message.
After thoroughly investigating this message, many are baptized and confirmed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. No sooner do they comply with those sacred commandments, than an indescribable something begins to beckon and call, "Come out of her, O Ye my people that Ye be not partakers of her sins, and that Ye receive not of her plagues". This divine injunction constantly rings in their ears even with increasing emphasis, until it finally results in the newly made Saints of God starting on that long pilgrimage to the Valleys of the Rocky Mountains, to unite with their brethren and sisters whom they have never seen, and in whom they have no other interest save in the bonds of the everlasting gospel.One couple among their number have an additional problem. They have long since cherished each other's companionship and have now decided to cast their lot together; to share each other's joy's and sorrows, and to make for themselves "a nest, out in the West, and let the rest of the world go by". Accordingly they call in the magistrate, that they may have the stamp of approval of the state placed upon their contract. And so on the 8th day of July 1869, it is said unto James Madison Hiatt and Martha Ellen Taylor, "By virtue of my office as magistrate in this precinct, I pronounce you husband and wife until death do you part." Two lives are thus dedicated to each other, two hearts are thus made to beat in unison, two souls are thus cemented together.
On the morrow, July 9, 1869, all members of this courageous company gather at the appointed place, prepared to make the start for their new home in the West. Likewise, relatives and friends gather, that they may bid a sad farewell to the ones who figured most prominently in the scenes of their childhood. Elders Henry G. Boyle and Howard Coray are present and give these undaunted saints their final instructions. They join in singing their favorite hymn, "Come, Come Ye Saints, No toil nor labor fear, But with joy wend your way. Though hard to you this journey may appear, Grace shall be as your day."
Affectionate leaves are taken and good-byes are said, a most solemn benediction pronounced by the Elders, the signal given, the cart-wheels roll, and soon this sturdy band disappears in the distance, leaving disappointment, tears and heartaches. On the air is wafted back in song the feeling of their innermost soul, "O Babylon, O Babylon, We Bid Thee Farewell, We're going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell."
One by one the relatives and friends return to their own homes to resume their former labors. One however hesitates - one little woman, Mary Hiatt, mother of the bridegroom of last evening. She looks till the last particle of dust from the horses hoofs and cart-wheels has settled, then in the anguish of her soul, she stretches her hands Heavenward exclaiming, "O God! Why am I thus bereft? Thou knowest how I have nurtured my son in his infancy, how I have watched over him in his youth, how I have hoped and prayed that the cruel war would not be prolonged until he would be subject to the merciless draft; and now I am left alone in my declining year, to face a cold world, with a large family of small children and an invalid husband! Why! O why?"
(A more detailed account of this trip is found in the Personal History of David Rufus Taylor, brother of Martha Ellen Taylor. I am including this history and a diagram of the trip taken by this company of people as he has described. It is found in the Life Stories Chapter of this book.)
Time rolls on. The company arrives at Norfolk, Virginia from whence they take passage on a steamer for New York, thence by rail to Ogden, Utah. They arrive in Payson, Utah by team. Nothing of special interest takes place enroute. But on arriving in Payson, members of the company are taken ill with measles, having been exposed on the way. They go directly to the building owned by Father Douglass known as the Union Hall. Here they are met by the Ward Bishopric and many others, and given all the tender care and medical attention possible.
Despite this fact, four of their number succumb to the dread disease and pass to "The Great Beyond", their bereft ones are bowed down with grief and sorrow, yea even nigh to the point of despair. Likewise all share in the sad bereavement. Their aching hearts appeal to "Him on High", and they cry, "O Father, hast Thou forsaken us? Hast thou forsaken us"? Through their minds flash the poetic lines, sending forth rays of light and hope and consolation:And should we die before our journey's through
Happy day all is well,
We then are free from toil and sorrow too,
With the just we shall dwell.At length, the malady abates and these families begin to provide a home for themselves in this their chosen land. Thus ends the long and weary journey with trials, and tribulations and all else incident to such a pilgrimage.
However, one task completed, another is begun. Now their main objective is to provide a livelihood, and establish themselves in this new land.
Fifteen years pass away and through their industry, frugality and thrift, they find themselves reasonably comfortable and contented. The dear ones in the old home land spend these fifteen years much the same as of yore. It has now become necessary to communicate by means of the mail, which are freely used, and through which much comfort and satisfaction is derived. The little woman, still longing for her dear son writes to him, and in due time he receives and reads:
"Jesse Layfayette was born April 30, 1851, Isaac Samuel was born July 9, 1853. John Henry was born April 30, 1856. Edmund Franklin was born April 21, 1858, and as for your grandfather Hiatt, I can't tell you anything about their ages. I haint never seen no record of them and your granny can't tell, and as for your grandfather and grandmother Taylor, I have seen a record of ther ages but it has been forty years ago so I can't tell you only by recollection and if you want that kind of a date, write to me in your next letter and I will do the best that I can.
"James you may think long of the time of not getting no answer to your letter, but I wrote one some time ago and it was not mailed and then Frank took such a notion to leave the country, that I thought that I would wait and see what he would do, so he has give it up for this time on the account of not getting to sell what he had and couldn't go without it. He was not a going to regard me nor my trouble about it. James it is almost more than I can stand to see my children turn their backs upon me never to see them nor speak to them again, and it is bad of others to mourn without friend; enough on that subject.
"James, dear son, you wrote us requesting of us all to know how many of us would go home with you if you was to come in here. I can't tell you. Life is uncertain and death is sure and health is uncertain also, and the time has been that I would of rejoiced in coming home with you but now my days are far spent and little remaining. It is not worthwhile for me to go to and fro, nor to seek up nor down, a thinking I can better my condition of life, and as for bettering myself in regard to salvation, it is not worth while to go to nor fro a seeking the Lord for He is near all that wants to find him in purity. As for myself, I sought the Lord whilst I was young with a pure heart and having a eye single to the glory of the Father and not of man nor no church set up by man. James, there be many churches in the world a saying, lo this is the way, come and go with us, but what did our Lord and Master say? Did he not say if they should say, Lo he was in the desert, go not out to see, or if he should say he was in the secret chambers, believe it not. James, all the preaching and the teaching by them all cannot make our Heavenly Father's law only as it is.
"James a knowing that there is so many ways of worship, it makes me think of what the prophet Amos said. 'Behold the days cometh saith the Lord God that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine for bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the Lord, and they shall wander from sea to sea and from the north even unto the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord and shall not find it.' So many will say I want to do my Masters will, but few is chosen. So then it is the chosen ones that will inherit the kingdom.
"The wheat and the tares must grow together until the harvest. The harvest is the end of the world and the angels are the reapers. So then it is not worth while for us to think that we can separate ourselves from amongst them. The all wise Ruler of Heaven and Earth will separate the just from the unjust at His own appointed time and in Him do I trust, a knowing that He is able to do all things."
She closed her missive in her usual affectionate style, expressing the hope that though parting in this life is extremely bitter, the meeting in that "Better Land" will be correspondingly sweet.
The son carefully folds the letter with fond memories, places it in his pocket nearest his heart, wipes the tears from his bedimmed eyes and yearns a prayer. "O Father, wilt Thou not touch the hearts of my loved ones in my native land, that they may heed the voice of Thy Servants the Prophets and come out of Babylon, ere it is too late, when it shall be said "Babylon is fallen, is fallen!"
He goes about his daily work with courage and determination. He hears the counsel given by the Ward bishopric on various occasions --"Brethern and Sisters, I would remind you that Brother Joseph Thatcher from our ward is at the rock quarry working for us, getting out stone with which to build the Salt Lake Temple. He is needy of provisions to live upon. He can use anything in the line of meat, flour and potatoes and the like. Please answer the call promptly, that there may be no unnecessary delay in the erection of that Sacred House. We may not all be permitted to enter therein, but our children will continue the work we've begun. We'll feel amply repaid for our efforts when we meet on the other side.
The little woman in the old home struggles on, when alas! She is faced with another trial -- one made no less hard by the experiences of the past. Seventeen years ago, she parted with her first born son, James Madison, and now as if in answer to prayer, that indescribable something has taken possession of her youngest son Edmund Franklin and he prepares to join his brother in Zion.
The two brothers, James Madison and Edmund Franklin exchange letters on the subject and finally a date is set for the departure of Edmund Franklin and family from their birthplace to the Rocky Mountains. Likewise there is made an approximate date of their arrival in Utah. The two brothers are delighted with the thought of meeting each other after seventeen years of separation, and made all arrangements possible that all may be made comfortable and happy.
With all property disposed of and all things made ready for the journey, Edmund Franklin receives a letter from his devoted brother's wife telling him of the untimely death on October 14, 1886 of this brother and her husband, James Madison. All his fond hopes and cherished desires are shattered. He thinks "How near and yet how far!, How strong and yet how weak!, How robust and yet how frail is man."
With one purpose, to gather with the Saints, forever removed, he yet has one, even of far greater worth to him! "Tis not to be valued in terms of dollars and cents, or in terms of passing pleasures, but in terms of one possessing the "Peace of God which surpasseth all understanding". Therefore he turns his face Westward and unlike Lot's wife of old, he never looks back.
He arrives at the Spanish Fork Switch near Mapleton, Utah on November 22, 1886, thirty nine days after the death of his brother. Being one day earlier than the date on which he was expected, there is no one at the cars to meet him and he is obliged to find other transportation to Payson where his journey will end. Soon he is on the way in bobsleds and soon he arrives in Payson, at the former home of his departed brother.
On entering the house, he finds the mother and three small children seated and in deep meditation. He sees the vacant chair and numerous other things, all reminding him of the recent sad departure of his brother James Madison. He is overcome with joy and sorrow, with pleasure and pain. Likewise, all are moved with the deepest emotions of which the human heart is capable.
At length they all become reconciled and begin to plan for the future. True to the cause for which he left his old home, Edmund Franklin prepares to enter the Sacred Temple of the Lord, of which he has heard so much, and of which he himself has so often sung. And on the 11th day of September 1889 he enters that Holy house with his family and receives the blessings promised to all the faithful Saints.
Again, as if in answer to the prayer of James Madison, though he having now passed away, that indescribable something makes its appearance among his people. Now the attack is made upon Isaac Samuel and he falls an easy prey. The call of both ancient and modern prophets he hears in his secret chambers [his thoughts], and the condition of the slothful servant is visualized before him. He hastens to make ready to answer the call, knowing full well in whom to trust.
He can readily appreciate what it means to his dear old mother, having seen her tears in the case of the departure of his two brothers before him. He realizes however that tears are elements of this life only, and he hopes to apply his efforts where they will avail him much more in the life to come.
Accordingly he takes his departure, arriving in Payson, April 7, 1888. He immediately sets to work to feed and shelter his family, ever bearing in mind the prime object of his sacrifice.
His devotion to his religion is shown in his daily life. The first temple work for the dead of the Hiatt Family is done by Isaac Samuel Hiatt and wife in the year 1905.
Among the number whose work they do is his dear parents whom he so ruthlessly (as they thought) left behind. They feel much relieved as by dream both Edmund Franklin and Isaac Samuel are profoundly impressed that their parents are waiting on the other side for work to be done in their behalf in the Temple of the Lord.
With Temple work nearest to their heart, Edmund Franklin and Isaac Samuel are extremely anxious to effect an organization through which it can be more successfully accomplished. They consult each other on the matter, and after much thought and prayerful consideration, they unitedly put forth their every effort to accomplish that end.
