Barnson

Yesterday your mom and I went to Manti where the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers were honoring Four People both from Denmark. Your Grandfather, Christen Peter Barnson and his wife who was an Anderson came fron Demark in about 1843.
There was also another Anderson that came on the ship with them. Christen and Grandma Anderson were married by the ships captain when they left England. She was not expected to live as she was sick but did survive and lived for many years. Brigham Yound sent then to Spring City and then on to Manti where they lived the rest of their lives. He helped build the Manti Temple, City Hall and the Manti Tabernacle. He was a stone cutter. We had a great day with Ray and Kathey Barnson. I will post your grandmothers account of all of this when I get it in a few days. It is really interesting.
