Governor of Flanders 802 -824
Ancestry and Progentry of Captain James Blount - Immigrant, by Robert Fr e derick Pfafman, p E-31.
Engelran, also Ingelran, Ingelram, Ingelramnum and Enguerrand
Recorded as the 2nd ruler of Flanders, and the son of Lidéric.
The name of Engelran's mother and that of his wife are not known. He i s b elieved to be the father of Odacer of Flanders (also Audacer)
Genealogia comitum Flandriae Bertiniana [Gen. Com. Fland. III, pp. 305-8 ] , which states that Lidricus, count of Harlebeck, was father of Ingelra nn us, who was father of Audacrus, who was father of Balduinus Ferreus [" Lid ricus Harlebeccensis comes genuit Ingelrannum. Ingelrannus genuit Aud acru m. Audacer genuit Balduinum Ferreum, qui duxit filiam Karoli Calvi n omin e Iudith."
While it is believed that Ingelram/ Engelran was in deed a real living p e rson, many doubt that he was the father of Odacer and ancestor of Baldw i n I.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Legendary Ancestors of Baldwin of Flanders
No contemporary source gives the parentage of Baldwin I of Flanders. How e ver, by the the late thirteenth century, an elaborate story had develop e d which provided Baldwin with three generations of ancestry back to a c er tain Lidéric, who was then said to be the first "forester" of Flanders , f ollowed in the same position by his son Ingelram, grandson Audacer, a nd g reat-grandson Baldwin, who then became the first count of Flanders . Widel y accepted in earlier times, these legends have been correctly re jected b y modern scholarship. Fortunately, the surviving rescensions o f the genea logies of the counts of Flanders allow us to see some of th e stages by wh ich this legendary scenario developed, and even though a c areful examinat ion of these shows us that Ingelram and probably also Lid éric were real i ndividuals, the alleged descent of Baldwin I from them m ust be discarded.
Much of the early development of the legend appears in the various wor k s edited under the collective title of Genealogiae Comitum Flandriae [M G H SS 9: 302-336, here abbreviated Gen. Com. Fland.], a collection of ni n e items (identified here by Roman numerals I-IX) written by various aut ho rs over a period of several hundred years, having in common that the y inv olve the genealogy or succession of the counts of Flanders. The tw o earli est parts, dating from the tenth century, say nothing about the p arentag e of Baldwin I [I. Witger, Genealogia Arnulfi comitis (pp. 302-4 , also a n important source for later Carolingian genealogy); II. De Arnu lfo comit e (p. 304)]. However, Witger was emphasizing the Carolingian an cestry o f count Arnulf I, and De Arnulfo comite was concerned only wit h certain c lose relatives of Arnulf I, so the fact that they do not ment ion the pare ntage of Baldwin I does not mean that they did not know it.
The earliest source giving Baldwin's supposed genealogy back to Lidéri c i s Genealogia comitum Flandriae Bertiniana [Gen. Com. Fland. III, pp . 305- 8], which states that Lidricus, count of Harlebeck, was father o f Ingelra nnus, who was father of Audacrus, who was father of Balduinus F erreus ["L idricus Harlebeccensis comes genuit Ingelrannum. Ingelrannus g enuit Audac rum. Audacer genuit Balduinum Ferreum, qui duxit filiam Karol i Calvi nomi ne Iudith." MGH SS 9: 305]. In his introduction to this work , Bethmann da tes this version to the reign of count Robert II (1093-1111 ) [MGH SS 9: 3 05], but the existence of two different versions which div erge after Bald win V suggests an earlier version composed under Baldwi n V or Baldwin V I [see MGH SS 9: 306]. As discussed in more detail below , later version s of Gen. Com. Fland. added major elaborations to this ac count.
However, Genealogia comitum Flandriae Bertiniana is not the earliest sou r ce to mention Lidéric. That honor goes to Annales Blandinienses, which , u nder the year 836, in an eleventh century hand, states that "Lidricu s com es obiit", followed by "et Arlabeka sepelitur" added in a twelfth c entur y hand [Grierson (1937a), 11; Annales Blandinienses has also been e dite d by Ludwig Bethmann in MGH SS 5: 20-34, but the fact that "et Arlab eka s epelitur" was in a later hand is not indicated]. One of the source s use d by the Annales Blandinienses as we have them today was an earlie r versi on of the same annals from the middle of the tenth century, calle d the te nth century Annales Blandinienses by Grierson (1937a), which wer e also us ed as a source by Annales Elmarenses, Annales Formosolenses, an d Annale s Elnonenses. These annals are also edited in Grierson (1937a) . Annales E lmarenses were first edited by Grierson, while Monumenta Germ aniae Histor ica contains editions of Annales Formosolenses by Bethmann [ MGH SS 5: 34- 6] and of Annales Elnonenses by Pertz [MGH SS 5: 10-20, wit h the entrie s in one twelfth century hand separated and edited as Annale s Elnonense s minores (pp.17-20), and the remaining annals edited as Anna les Elnonens es maiores (pp. 11-17)]. The Annales Blandinienses also ment ion Ingelra m and Audacer, but with an important difference: although th e affiliatio n of Audacer as father of Baldwin is given, no genealogica l affiliation s are given for Lidéric or Ingelram. The Chronicon Vedastin um, discusse d in more detail under Audacer below, is another relativel y early sourc e which gives the name of Baldwin's father without showin g any knowledg e of his alleged earlier ancestors. This indicates an earl ier tradition i n which the name of the father of Baldwin I was regarde d as known, but i n which there is no evidence that any earlier generatio ns in the genealog y were known.
From this, along with the more detailed individual discussions for Lidér i c, Ingelram, and Audacer which appear below, two major points emerge:
No later than the middle of the eleventh century (and probably as earl y a s the tenth), there were local annalists who believed that Baldwin' s fath er was named Audacer/Odoacer, but who did not indicate any signifi cant de tails about the latter, or any knowledge of genealogical affiliat ions fo r Lidéric or Ingelram.
The chronology indicated for Lidéric and Ingelram (whose career overla p s ignificantly with that of Baldwin I), as shown by these early source s , does not fit well with the claim that they were respectively great-gr an dfather and grandfather of Baldwin I of Flanders.
The natural conclusion is that the name of the father of Baldwin I belon g s to an earlier level of the tradition, while the alleged affiliatio n o f Lidéric and Ingelram to Audacer and Baldwin is a later invention, m ad e when the genealogists were seeking to extend the ancestry beyond Bal dwi n's father, and found two usable names for that purpose in their sour ces . Although not supported by contemporary evidence, the name of Baldwi n' s father can be accepted as probable, but the genealogical links to In gel ram and Lidéric need to be rejected as later inventions, even thoug h we c an probably accept Lidéric's existence (as we certainly can for In gelram) . | Ingelram (I15353)

Grace Whipple Eastin - My Story, May 2002
I was born in Snowflake, Arizona on August 23, 1929 in my Grandpa a n d Grandma Ramsay's home. I revisited my birthplace in February 2002 whi l e in Snowflake for the open house of the Snowflake LDS Temple. One of t h e Wonders of this trip was to realize just how much fun you can have vi si ting Snowflake with cousins Clara Davenport and Ellen Kirby. I spent l ot s of time in Snowflake in my youth and even lived a year with Grandm a whi le attending school, so I remembered a lot about where the old corr als, o utside toilet, the vegetable garden, Clarence's little house, an d where G randma's parlor was. The kitchen sink was still where I had t o wash dishe s, sometimes twice cause I didn't do a good job the first ti me. The hous e still stands, but the outbuildings are gone.
My father worked in Fort Apache for the U.S. Government Indian Agenc y , and it was while we were living there that I started school. Fort Apa ch e had been turned into a school for Indian children so we were busse d t o White River where I attended a one room school for all six elementa ry g rades with Mr. and Mrs. Smith as teachers. When I was in the fifth g rad e my family moved to Monticello, Utah where my father farmed. We live d o n the farm during the summers and into the late fall. When school sta rte d we walked several miles morning and night to where the main road en de d and caught a pick-up with a canvas cover over the bed that we calle d th e bus to school in Monticello. When snow came we moved into town til l spr ing. I graduated from Monticello High. I enjoyed school and was a c heerle ader for three years. I loved those basketball games!
I married Virgil Byron Eastin on September 16, 1948 in my Aunt Gerr y a nd Uncle Harry Randall's home in Monticello, Utah. Byron worked at th e fl our mill at that time but soon went to work for South Western Gas Co mpan y as an apprentice gas plumber. Our first son, Terrance Byron Eastin , wa s born November 19, 1949 in Monticello, and we were blessed on Augus t 18 , 1960 with our second son, Douglas Lynn Eastin. When Doug was nin e day s old we moved to Moab, Utah where Byron was working with Utah Ga s Servic e. My boys were both very active in sports and scouting and ar e my prid e and joy.
Byron and I filed for a homestead on 320 acres of land outside of Mon t icello and received word that we had been awarded this homestead if w e co uld prove up on it within five years with 80 acres of it cleared an d unde r cultivation with proof that it was farmable. So we spent the fir st fiv e years after moving to Moab traveling back to Monticello every ni ght dur ing the summer after Byron's day work to work the land. Mother ga ve us Da d's old John Deere Tractor with a three bottom plow. Byron woul d plow u p the sagebrush; Terry and I would go behind and stack the brus h to burn.
Byron and I were sealed in the Manti Temple, May 22, 1965 and had o u r boys sealed to us.
Byron served in the Bishopric and was the first Stake Mission Preside n t when the Moab Stake was formed. He was also Elders and High Priest Le ad er, Ward Clerk, and Sunday School while I was busy in Mutual and othe r jo bs.
Byron passed away March 13, 1984. He loved life, and I miss him.
Terry served a mission in Hong Kong, China and has a plumbing suppl y b usiness in Phoenix, Arizona.
Douglas is working as an Electrical Engineer in the Dugout Mine in Pr i ce, Utah while attending college for a degree in Electrical Engineering .
I was elected as Treasurer of Grand County in 1986 and have served fo u r terms and will be retiring the end of 2002. I enjoy traveling! I wa s ab le to attend the dedication of the Hong Kong China Temple with Terr y an d his family for two weeks. I have been on two Cruises, first to th e Cari bbean with a friend, Norma Stocks, and then next to Mexico and Hon duras w ith Sandy & Bill Close and Jamie & Alex. I went to England and Sc otland w ith Carol to see Charles and Gloria while they were there on the ir missio n. In January of this year I went to Germany with Clara, and wh ile ther e we went to Paris, France. I went for a cruise to Alaska with A nneva, Te rry, and Deanne at the end of May 2002 .
The family and community lost a wonderful lady. Grace Eastin, 87, pass e d away Oct. 10, 2016. Mom was born in Snowflake, Arizona, Aug. 23, 192 9 , to John and Emma Whipple. She spent time as a young girl in Fort Apac he , where her dad worked for the government for 10 years. Grandpa Whippl e a lways called her his “little peacemaker.” Later, the family moved t o Mont icello, Utah, where she went to school and was very active in scho ol an d church. She later married Byron Eastin on Sept. 16, 1948, and th e marri age was solemnized in the Manti Temple May 22, 1965. In 1960, th e famil y moved from Monticello, Utah, to Moab, Utah, where she lived unt il her p assing. Mom was a special leader to young women in the ward, an d spent ma ny days with them on girls’ outings. Her professional career s tarted wit h Black Oil Company in Monticello. Upon moving to Moab, she wo rked as a n administrator for Texas Gulf Credit Union and Grand County Cr edit Unio n (which later merged). This experience led to her election fo r the offic e of Grand County Treasurer, which she held for many years, r etiring at t he age of 73. Mother lived a long, fruitful life and on he r own terms. Sh e was a very determined lady, which made her a cornerston e for the famil y and will not be forgotten. Family members both near an d far were kept c lose through her determination. She was preceded in dea th by her husband , Byron Eastin; sisters, Nereece Johnson, Elaine Robbin s and Carol Waite ; and grandson, Scott Littlejohn. Mother is survived b y a sister, Annev a (Dan) Collins; two brothers, Charles (Gloria) Whippl e and Loren (Joanne ) Whipple. She had two sons, Terrence (Deanne) Easti n and Douglas (Cathy ) Eastin. She also had grandchildren, Tricia (John ) Downam, Scott (Amber ) Eastin, Kim (Adam) Chrisman, Crystal Burnside, J essica Holderness, Cod y (Veronica) Ordner, and Douglas B. (Chelsey) East in; and 15 great-grandc hildren. The family wishes to thank all of the go od friends, excellent ne ighbors, loving family and church members for th e outstanding help and su pport that enriched the quality of her life.

Grandma Brower was born Effie Dean Woolley in Kanab, Utah on June 27, 18 9 2. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Cache Valley where Gran dm a grew up and where she met my grandfather. While my Grandma Benson w a s a petite, refined woman, Grandma Brower was large, loud and effervesc en t. She also had a rather crass or irreverent side that could seem quit e a musing at times to a little boy like me.
While only 16 years of age, Grandma married my Grandfather Lewis who w a s 18 at the time. They had their only child, my father, a few months la te r. Two months after the birth of my father, my Grandfather Lewis die d a t the age of 18 from a ruptured appendix. Suddenly, Grandma was a 16- year -old widow with a two-month old baby. She was emotionally and financ iall y unable to care for her child and, essentially, abandoned him to th e car e of relatives. Over the next several years, Grandma held a variet y of jo bs and seemed to drift aimlessly in her life. Then, she met Alvi n Brower , a married father of two daughters, who was several years olde r than Gra ndma. Grandma started to live with Alvin, who then divorced hi s wife. A t some point, Grandma married Alvin and they became my Grandm a and Grandp a Brower.
Grandpa Brower purchased the farm in Riverdale where I eventually grew u p . Grandpa and Grandma farmed in Riverdale until my father bought the fa r m from them in 1936. As I mentioned earlier, Grandma was a large woma n . I have been told by those who knew her at that time, that she could w or k like a man. In fact, she was quite a teamster. One elderly neighbo r tol d me that the language Grandma used while driving her teams would m ak e a sailor blush.
After selling the farm to my father, Grandma and Grandpa Brower move d t o Preston where Grandpa Brower worked in the Elks Lodge. At this poin t, G randma Brower lived a very sedentary life. They built a home on Onei da St reet in Preston about two blocks east of the elementary school. A s a chil d, I thought the home was very beautiful. Looking at the home to day, howe ver, I am shocked at how small it is – perhaps 800 square feet . But, t o a little boy living in the home I was raised in on the farm, i t seeme d really grand.
Grandma eventually went to the temple and became relatively active in t h e church. She always remained a real freethinker, however. For example , s he found the temple garment too restrictive and, therefore, cut the m ark s from the garment and sewed them into her underclothing in roughly t he a ppropriate places.
While Grandma was not a very good mother to my dad, she was a fabulous g r andmother to me. Most grandmothers love their grandchildren (and she ce rt ainly loved me), but grandma really liked me .
When I was a young child, I was particularly small, self-conscious abo u t how skinny I was, not particularly athletic, and very unsure of mysel f . One month after my sixth birthday, my mother enrolled me in elementa r y school. Prior to that time, I had never been to kindergarten, primar y , church, or any other activity for children. I knew no children othe r th an my siblings and cousins. I was ill prepared to be separated fro m my fa mily and the farm. Going to the first grade at Central Elementar y Schoo l was one of the most traumatic periods of my life. I was so home sick, th at I would crawl through the shrubs separating the playground fr om the po st office during recess and cry until the bell to return to cla ss rang . I would go back to class and endure class until lunchtime whe n the teac hers lined us up and marched us a block and a half to Jefferso n Elementar y School where we would have lunch. Then, I would try to kee p it togethe r through the afternoon until I could go home. After Grandm a Brower learn ed of the difficulties I was having, she would walk down t o the school an d meet me when class was dismissed for lunch. She would t ake my hand an d walk me back to her house where she would feed me lunch . Typically, sh e would fry me a steak and serve it to me on one of her f ine china dishes . After lunch, she would take my hand and walked me bac k to school. She u sed to sing “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” to me as we w alked. It has bee n 60 years since I was in the first grade, but I can st ill remember the f eel of her hand and her voice as she sang to me. It fe lt like she saved m y life during that painful year. I will always be gra teful to her, and lo ve her for that.
When I was in the third grade, mother enrolled me in violin lessons. M y t eacher was Mrs. Pack and our lessons were on Saturday morning. Afte r clas s, I would walk the two blocks to Grandma Brower’s house where I w ould wa it for Mother to come and pick me up. I would talk to Grandma abo ut thing s I had learned in school and my opinions on various current eve nts. Gran dma thought I was really smart. Often, she would loudly laugh a nd say t o Grandpa Brower “_____, Alvin, isn’t he smart! Have you ever me t suc h a smart kid?” It made me feel for the first time that being smar t was c ool.
I have always loved sports, and so, when I visited Grandma’s house on Sa t urday morning she would watch the weekly baseball game with me. I love d t he Dodgers so she became a huge Dodger fan and knew all of the player s’ n ames. We used to talk about the Dodgers and baseball all the time. A s fa r as I know, she had little interest in baseball before I started wa tchin g the games with her at her house on Saturdays.
When I was in the third grade, our elementary school had a special para d e for the students. Each student was supposed to decorate his/her bik e an d ride it in the parade. I think it was for May Day. I had one of th e sma llest, least impressive bikes in my class. Mom thought it would b e a goo d idea to have Grandma decorate my bike. We drove to town and dro pped i t at Grandma’s house the afternoon preceding the big parade. Whe n I arriv ed to pick up my bike the next day, I was dazzled. Grandma ha d covered ev ery surface on the bike with multicolored crêpe paper. Ther e was crêpe pa per through the spokes of the wheels filling up the entir e area between t he wheel and the hub. There was crêpe paper on the handl ebars, the seat , everywhere. It was the most gaudy thing I had ever seen . I loved it . I felt like the star of the parade. It was absolutely typi cal of someth ing grandma would like.
Grandma Brower died in 1980 at the age of 88. Her health wasn’t particul a rly good during the last years of her life, but I don’t recall her eve r b eing very sick. She retained most of her mental capacity, and up unti l th e last few years of her life, she read a book a week. She was a pass ionat e, colorful, flawed person who was a perfect grandmother for a timi d, sel f-conscious little boy. I’m grateful she was mine. | Woolley, Effie Dean (I20387)

Grandma Cooley was one of my favorite people. While Grandpa and their so n s where very out-spoken, Grandma was what I would call a quiet genius . sh e used to study the scriptures and knew the gospel well. If you aske d he r questions, you could discover her depth.
When I was about 11 years old, I was having a sleepover at her house wi t h cousins. I was having a great time and practicing my new obnoxious la ug h. Grandma quietly took me aside alone in her bedroom and told me tha t wh en I got older and went to the temple I would make a covenant to no t expr ess that kind of laughter. She helped me to nip that bad habit i n the bu d without embarrassing me.
Grandma also hired me to clean house for her and taught me how to clea n t horoughly and how to properly iron shirts.
I was so sad to see her struggle with memory loss and personality chan g e in her old age. | Whipple, Pearl Wallrade (I162059)

Grandma was so pretty. She was tough as nails too and could do anythin g ! When she married Grandpa he was about 33 and she was 21. He sure wa s lu cky to get her! And she loved him through and through. You could jus t se e it in the way they held hands. His arm around her shoulder and he r han d reaching up to hold his. She missed him so much after he died an d she h ad a while to go before it was her turn to join him. Such a graci ous Lady . She taught me to love music, be positive, share the Gospel, an d to be p roud of who I am. | Pratt, Viola (I35278)

Grandpa always had a soft heart when it came to his horses. He hesitat e d to cinch the saddle up too tight because he didn't want to hurt them . O ne day when I was about 5, he put me on a horse, and I had only ridde n ha lf a block when the saddle slipped to the side of the horse's belly . I wa s riding like an Indian at war! Dad came running and rescued me be for e I could fall to the ground.
When Grandpa Nephi Beckstrand went deer hunting back in the 1920’s it w a s an
adventure as well as a pioneer like test of stamina. The friday before o p ening day he, and
my dad and his brother Austin would begin packing up the hay wagon wit h b ottled venison jars
of fruit and bedding. The bedding consisted of camp quilts made by my gr a ndma from Levi
coveralls sewn together on an old treadle type sewing machine with som e b atting in between.
My grandma said the quilts were cold as ice when he crawled under them f r ozen solid by
morning. The last thing he put into the wagon was his rifle an old rus t y 30-40 Craig with a
missing rear sight. After the packing done they would hitch up the tea m o f horses (Babe &
Maud) and head out for the mouth of Dry Creek Canyon. After arriving th e y set up an old army
tent that smelled like an old musty canvas. After an hour or two of swap p ing stories with the
other hunters in camp, they would turn in around 11:00 P.M.
In order to get to the top of the mountain on horseback by daylight th e y would have to be
up and riding by 3:00 A.M. In spite of his broken down rifle, grandpa w a s always able to
harvest a nice buck. After field dressing the deer, they headed back do w n the mountain, broke
camp, and arrived back home in Meadow, Utah well after dark. In spit e o f this seemingly
strenuous ordeal, my grandpa loved hunting and being in the mountains a n d took me often
when I was young. | Beckstrand, Nephi David (I5101)

Hanged as a Witch 19 July 1692.
After arrival in the Colonies Susanna went to work in Dover, in the hous e hold of Capt. Wiggins at Squamscot, and lived with the wife of Rev. Ste ph e Bachellor. This was referred to in the 1669 allegations of child abu s e brought against her by William Sargent.
"When Susanna Martin, an Amesbury, Massachusett widow was arrested o n M ay 2, 1692 for alleged witchcraft, the authorities took into custod y a wo man who had been suspected of that crime for some thirty years an d one wh o may have used her reputation in order to get her own way wit h some of h er credulous neighbors. Modern commentators have found her on e of the mor e noteworthy victims of the Salem witchcraft hysteria, proba bly because a t her preliminary hearing she defended herself with vigor a nd without res pect for authority."
"Testimony against Susanna Martin in 1692 indicates that she was accus e d of witchcraft as early as 1660 or 1661. On May 11, 1692, William Brow n e of Salisbury, aged 70 or thereabouts, deposed that thirty-one or thir ty -two years ago his wife Elicabeth had seen the apparition of Susanna M art in and thereafter was frequently tormented physically until the churc h ap pointed a day of "humilling" on her behalf. After Elicabeth complain ed t o a Grand Jury that Good Martin was the one who had bewitched her, S usann a made vague threatening comments to her. About two months later, E lizabe th became insane, a condition in which she continued in 1692. No r ecord o f proceedings on Elizabeth's charges against Susanna has been fou nd."
"In 1669, another accusation was brought against Susanna: at Salisbu r y Quarterly Court, April 13, 1669, "Susanna Martyn, wife of Georg Marty n , was ordered to be commited to prison unless she give bond for 100 li . f or appearance at the next Court of Assistants upon suspicion of witch craf t". At the same session of the Quarterly Court, George Martyn sued W illia m Sargent, Jr., for slander, for "sayhing that said Martyn's wife h ad a c hild at Capt. Wiggin's and was wringing its neck in Capt. Wiggin' s stable , when a man entered, and she took him by the collar and told hi m she b e the death of him if he told"; he also sued Thomas Sargent "fo r saying t hat his son George Martyn was a bastard and that (his son) Ric hard Martti n was Goodwife Marttin's imp," that is, a witch's familiar. T hese suits a gainst the gossiping Sargents did not go well for the Martin s. The suit a gainst Thomas Martin was withdrawn; that against William Sa rgent brough t a verdict for the defendant, although the court did not co ncur, an empt y gesture, since the same court session committed Susanna o n a charge o f witchcraft." Witchcraft was a capital crime, which meant t hat it fell u nder the jurisdiction of the Court of Assistants, the recor ds of which, a t least so far as they have been published, are inadequat e for this perio d and do not inlude anything about the charge against Su sanna.
"Perhaps while that charge was still pending, Susanna was again in leg a l difficulty. At Hampton Quarterly Court, Oct 12, 1669, Georg Martyn w a s sued by Christopher Bartlet because Susanna had said that Bartlett w a s "a liar and a thief and had stole leather"; the verdict was for the p la intiff."
"That suit was nothing compared with the carges brought against the Ma r tin's son Richard at the same court session. Richard had been "present e d by the grand jury at the Salisbury court, 1669, for abusing his fath e r and throwing him down, taking away his clothes and holding up an ax e ag ainst him." The court found him guilty and sentenced him to be whipp ed te n stripes at Hampton Meeting House on Oct.14, 1669."
"The Martyn's continued to supply scandal. Susanna's father, Richard N o rth, died at Salisbury March 1, 1667/68, apparently leaving a will dat e d Jan 26 1648/49. This will, the authenticity of which was later questi on ed, left L5 to daughter Mary Jones, wife of Thomas Jones; L5 to grandc hil d Ann Bates, child of daughter Sarah, "pvided shee bee aliue att my d ecea se"; to daughter Susanna Martune, wife of George Martyn, "twenty shi lling s & the tenn pound which hir husband the said George Martyn doth ow e unt o mee for cattle which hee receiued of mee"; and the residue to "de ar e & welbeeloued wyfe Vrsula Nroth," who was made executrix."
The original document did not indicate later additiions, but calls Nor t h's granddaughter Ann Bates, even though she did not marry Bates unti l so me years later; and it leaves Susanna a debt owed by her husband t o his f ather-in-law even though that debt had not been contracted when t he wil l was supposedly executed."
"On April 30, 1692, six years after her husband's death, another warra n t was issued for Susanna Martin's arrest for witchcraft, this time as p ar t of the hysteria that had begun several months earlier at Salem Villa g e through the accusations of several "afflicted girls" who claimed tha t t hey were being tormented by witches. Susanna was arrested on May 1, a n d a preliminary examination on the same day was noteworthy for the vig o r of her answers and for the lack of respect she showed for the presidi n g magistrates. She laughed when the "afflicted girls" went into a fit a n d when asked why she did so, she responded, "Well I may at such folly. " W hen she was asked what ailed the girls, Susanna said: "I do not desir e t o spend my judgm't upon it." She stated bluntly that she did not thin k th e girls were bewitched. Her answer to the request that she privide h er th oughts about them was impertinent: "Why my thoughts are my own, whe n the y are in, but when they are out, they are anothers." Other replie s show t hat she was aware of the seriousness of her situation and that s he denie d guilt fervently. But she kept her sharp tongue even at the en d of the e xamination: "Do you not see how God evidently discovers you? " "No, no t a bit for that. "All the congregation think so." "Let them th ink w't th ey will."
"The jurors thought what they would and indicted her."
"Susanna's lack of respect for authority was not, of course, the mai n r eason that she was indicted, though it can hardly have prejudiced th e mag istrates in her favor. The Rev. John Hale, minister of the Beverl y Church , who had supported the trials but had second thoughts after hi s wife wa s accused, states, rather clumsily, that Susanna was one of tho se who "ha d been suspected by their Neighbours several years, because af ter quarrel ling with their Neighbours, evils had befallen those Neighbou rs".
"In several instances, depositions indicate that Susanna was given t o m uttering enigmatic phrases that could be--and were, at least by hinds ight --interpreted as threats. The evidence that any accused witch uttere d suc h threats is weakened by the tendency of the superstitious to creat e some thing ominous out of nothing, but the cumulative effect of testimo ny agai nst many accused witches throughout several centuries suggests th at som e consciously fostered suspicions about themselves in order to ge t thei r way in village dealings or simply to increase their own sense o f import ance."
"Among the more interesting depositions against Susanna is that of Wil l iam Brown, who believed that his wife Elizabeth had been driven insan e b y Susanna some thirty years earlier. John Pressy testified that abou t twe nty-four years previously, he had followed a light "about the bigne s o f a half bushell" and gave it. "at Lest forty blows." Later he saw Su sann a and decided that she was the source of the light, to the modern mi nd a n obvious ignis fatuus. Joseph ring, aged 27, deposed that he had se en se veral "mery meettings" with "most dreadfull shapes noyses & scretch ing" a nd that among those present was Susanna Martin, testimony that sug gests t hat for him superstition was handmaiden to mental imbalance. In c ompariso n, the deposition of Joseph Knight is tame: he believed that aro und Oct . 20, 1686, Susanna had picked up a dog running at her side and c hanged i t into a "Kegg or halfe feirkin".
"The most famous accusation against Susanna merits quotation in full:
"Sarah attkinson aged forty Eight years or thereabouts testifieth that t t Some time in the Spring of the year about Eighteen years Since Susan n a Martin came unto our house att Newbury from Amsbury in an Extraordina r y dirty Season, w'n She came into our house I asked whether she came fr o m Amsbury a foot She sayd She did I asked how She could come in this ti m e a foott and bid my children mae way for her to come to the fire to d r y her selfe She replyed She was as dry as I was and turn'd her Coats o n S ide, and I could nott pceive thatt the Soule of her Shows were wet t I wa s startled att itt that she should come soe dry and told her that t I shou ld have been wett up to my knees if I Should have some So farr o n foott s he replyed thatt She scorn'd to have a drabled tayle."
"The hint is, of course, that Suanna flew from Amesbury to Newbury. Th i s testimony has frequently been cited as the main reason for Susanna' s tr oubles in 1692. Other testimony, especially Joesph Ring's about witc hes' s meetings, was almost certainly more significant, but it is easy t o se e why Sarah Atkinson's description of a simple incident has struck m oder n commentators. In it, we hear Sarah's volubility and Susann's sharp -tong ued response, with its implied insult that Sarah had let fester fo r eight een years."
"Susanna Martin underwent the indignity of a physical examination on J u ne 2, 1692. Such examinations were inteded to discover whether the accu se d had any physical abnormalities, especially anything that could be us e d to suckle a familiar or even the devil himself. Susanna was examine d tw ice during the same day; at neither examination was any abnormailit y disc overed, but at the first her breasts appaeared to be full and at t he seco nd slack. Doubtless the magistrates found this apparent indicatio n that s he had actually suckeled even more satisfactory than an abnorma l "with' s teat."
"At her trail held at Salem on 29 or 30 June 1692, Susann a
Susannah was hanged in Salem, Mass. accused of being a witch. She was o n e of the last group accused. The trancript of the trial is in Kathy Mar ti n s book. It is interesting that one of her accusers was William Brown , a n ancestor of Abigail Carter Martin; and Orlando Bagley, another ance stor , was the constable who arrested her. The poet Whittier was relate d to th is family and wrote a poem The Witch s Daughter, based on Susann ah a sto ry. | North, Susannah (I44915)

Hannah Jones Bailey & Her Family
Life History
Written by Hannah's daughter Elizabeth Yeates
Hannah Jones Bailey, daughter of Joseph Jones and Jane Parry, was born A p ril 9, 1853 at Tuney Grew, North Wales. When she was very young, the Mo rm on elders laboring in their native land visited her home. After a tim e he r parents were converted to the gospel. Her parents had a strong des ire t o come to Zion. Mother said a tin box was tacked on their wall, an d ever y penny that could be spared was placed in this box. After long sa crific e and waiting, the day arrived for them to bid farewell to the lan d of th eir birth. They set sail on the Signe of Shore. After eight weeks , they l anded in New York Harbor.
They settled in Thomas, a small town in Pennsylvania. Her father secur e d work at his old trade, mining. They saved their intended journey to t h e valleys of the mountains in Utah. Then the Civil War began, and moth e r remembered how she and her brothers and older sister would keep watc h w hile their father slept; they were afraid the officers would take he r fat her off to war. Their home was always open to the elders, as it wa s in th e old country. George Q. Cannon and Levi Garrett visited with the m a grea t deal. The family remained there for six years.
They had many hardships. Two of their babies were buried there. On Apr i l 1, 1856, her father was badly injured in the mine when a large rock f el l on his back. He was completely buried, and it was a long time befor e th e miners were able to release him. His back was broken and one arm a lmos t severed. The doctor said that he would surely die. Mother sent fo r th e elders, and they administered to him and promised him he would liv e t o reach the Promised Land. He was almost instantly healed.
In July 1861, they began their long journey across the plains in Capta i n Horn’s company. On October 1, 1861, they arrived in Salt Lake City. M ot her had walked almost the entire distance-she was eight years of age.
After staying in Salt Lake City for three weeks, her father secured wo r k on a ranch at Mountain Dell. He worked for Ephraim Hins and stayed th er e one year.
In 1862 they moved to Wellsville, where mother grew to young womanhood . S he told of going out into the wheat fields, gleaning wheat. She bea t th e wheat out of the stalks, cleaned it, and sold it for calico to mak e a d ress. She helped make hats out of the straws and skinned and spun y ard t o help clothe here younger brothers and sisters. She told of how sh e spu n on shares all one winter and spring to get enough linsey to mak e hersel f a dress. She was a Sunday School teacher and member of the cho ir in th e early sixties.
On April 4, 1870, she was married to Charles R. Bailey in the Endowmen t H ouse in Salt Lake City. She was his third wife, and she bore six son s an d three daughters. Her oldest son died before he was four years of a ge.
Mother was an excellent homemaker, a very good cook, and one who knew h o w to make the most of what she had to do with. She was very religious . I n 1882 a great tragedy came into her life when the Edmunds Act was pa ssed , and it became unlawful for her husband to live with her. Those wh o reme mber that terrible time know what the brothers and sisters who ha d embrac ed the principle of plural marriage had to endure. At one time , mother le ft her home for almost a year, and my brother. Luther, was ju st 11 days o ld. Mother had moved three times during those 11 days. It wa s only throug h the mercy of our Father in Heaven that her life was spare d.
Luther was hidden until he was three years of age. Mother, like the majo r ity of the faithful women of the church, kept faith in the work of th e Lo rd. She was a Relief Society teacher for many years in the Wellsvill e War d and spent much of her time with the sick.
In 1900 she moved to Logan where she might have her son, Lawrence, und e r the care of good doctors and give him a chance to attend college. H e ha d a long sickness and underwent three operations and had to have a b one r emoved from his leg. Doctors were at a loss to know how to care fo r the v ictims of that dread disease (rheumatism). She was the chaplain o f the Jo seph Smith Camp of The Daughters of Utah Pioneers for four years . She wa s called and set apart by the stake president to go out among th e sick an d minister to them. The night was never too cold or stormy fo r her to hel p anyone. She was continually giving to those in need. She p assed it thro ugh the back door so that no one would know but herself. Sh e was the matr on for the Cache Valley Hospital for several years. She ha d the gift an d power of giving relief by rubbing when people were in gre at distress an d pain. She did a great deal of temple work. Through muc h perseverance, o n her part, a great number of her dead have had their w ork done.
On August 10, 1923, while on a visit to Salt Lake City, she was taken su d denly ill. She returned home and went to my sister Ella’s home. All th a t could be done to relieve her suffering was done. She passed away Sept em ber 18, 1923, at the age of 70 years, 5 months, and 18 days.
Before losing consciousness, she asked for all her children to come in t o her room. She gave us her last blessing and bore a testimony to the t ru thfulness of the gospel. She was survived by eight children, 43 grandc hil dren, five great-grandchildren, three brothers, and three sisters.
Funeral services were held in the Sixth Ward, at Logan, Utah. A large co n gregation of relatives and friends attended. She was buried in theWells vi lle Cemetery, near her husband and son.
My Tribute To My Mother
“I fell I had a most wonderful mother. One that was tried, tested an d a p roven daughter of our Father in Heaven, who approved of her life an d wa s well pleased with her works of life.”
Elizabeth B. Yeates
A Granddaughter’s Recollections
Written by Hannah’s granddaughter Dorothy Smith Evans
I remember the pretty dress she wore with the “dickey” in front, hig h u p under her chin, with lace on it. She always wore a gold chain wit h a go ld watch given to her on her 50th birthday by her family.
Grandmother was an excellent cook. I remember her patty shells filled wi t h creamed chicken; they would melt in your mouth. No one ever visited h e r and came away without a bite to eat.
I remember her feather bed, puffed up high, and what fun it was to spe n d a night with her and sleep on that soft, fluffy bed and sink down i n th e feathers.
I also remember being told of the sleepless nights she spent trying to c o mfort Lawrence when he suffered with his leg. When she would get him t o s leep she didn’t move for fear she would wake him, and with his leg s o nea r hers, she didn’t move when he was at ease. Sometimes in the morni ng sh e could hardly move from the cramped position she had held for so l ong.
I remember the wonderful family dinners held at her home, the grown-up s e ating first and the children thinking they would never get through . I rem ember thinking we would starve before it was our turn.
I also remember my mother telling that after grandfather and grandmoth e r were married in Salt Lake City, they went to ZCMI to get her some ne w s hoes, and the clerk told grandmother to ask her “father” how he like d th e shoes.

Hannah married Gideon Durphy Wood in 1830. She was twenty and he was twe n ty two. Two different places and three dates are given for the marriag e : December 27th at Norwalk, Huron County; and December 28th or 30th a t Fl orence, Huron County. They lived at Florence, Ohio from the time o f thei r marriage until 1838. They had two children here (Lyman S. and El ecta) . Sally Summerhays Anderson gives the following that has been hande d dow n to her about Gideon and Hannah:
"Gideon (Hannah's husband) learned the trade of carding wool and cloth d r essing and saved, enough money to buy and clear a piece of heavily timb er ed land, build a barn, a frame home and raise enough hay and grain t o sus tain a cow and a pair of steers. Hannah was very frugal and made i t possi ble for them to save for and accumulate enough material goods t o be reaso nably comfortable and very happy. "
John and Elizabeth with their two unmarried children, James and Moses Ju d son along with
their married children: Hannah Electa and her husband Gideon Wood, Abiga i l and her husband, Milo Andrus; and Hilea who married Isaac Nelson foll ow ed the call by the leaders of the Mormon Church to move west after th e Mo rmons had received much opposition in the Kirtland area. They were d irect ed to go to Far West, Missouri which was to be the next gathering p lace f or the LDS Church since those who had settled in Independence ha d been dr iven out.
The Daley farnilies spent the summer of 1836 in preparing to leave Ohi o . They acquired provisions, sold their farms, and bought wagons and tea ms . They left in the fall of 1836, but due to dire conditions they stopp e d for the winter (1836-37) at Terre Haute, Indiana. While they were her e , Milo Andrus who had been the president of their Church Branch in Flor en ce, and his brother-in-law, Isaac Nelson preached the gospel there an d es tablished a branch of the Church. Hilea and Isaac had their first ch ild ( William Henry) while they were here. Except for Hannah and Gideon t hey al l left Terre Haute in the spring of 1837 and crossed the two hundr ed mil e width of Illinois. After crossing the Mississippi River they ent ered Mi ssouri near the town of Louisiana where they stopped to repair th eir wago ns. When they arrived at Far West John Daley and his married chi ldren est ablished farms and built their log homes near one another. Mil o Andrus sa id that this was some of the most beautiful land he had eve r seen.
Hannah Electa, who had married Gideon Wood left the following year and j o ined the rest of the family at Far West. | Daley, Hannah Electa (I56723)

Harmon Wickel and his three brothers were appointed with others to ac t a s the body guard to take care of the Prophet’s body until it was take n t o the final resting place. Harmon suffered much punishment and tribul atio n, together with his family, because he would never give any informa tio n regarding the whereabouts of the Prophet’s body. The mobs were anxi ou s to get the head of the Prophet, but these brothers were true to thei r t rust and would not tell.
Once the mob took one of Harmon’s sons from by force from the shoe sho p . Harmon was a maker of the best footwear in those days in Pennsylvani a a nd the east. They locked him in a building and starved him for many d ay s because he would not give out any information about the Prophet. Som e o f the church brethren released him, and he was so near gone he was il l fo r some time after from the effects of this treatment by the mob.
These men and members of their immediate family knew where the Prophet ’ s body was placed but would never tell anyone. It was a sacred trust t o t hem, and they were very careful to keep it a total secret. | Wickel, Harmon (I152106)

In 1841 the missionaries taught the Ponds about the gospel and they we r e baptized in December 1841. In 1843 they sold their home and moved t o N auvoo, Illinois to be with the other Saints. They purchased some lan d an d was just a mile east of the Nauvoo Temple which was just being bui lt .
When all of the other Saints were leaving Nauvoo in February 1846 becau s e of the persecution, they didn't leave until September. Members of t h e Pond family were all sick with Malaria. Stillman was sick himself, b u t they finally arrived in Winter Quarters. The only place they had t o ha ve their home was in a tent until the first of 1847 when they live d i n a log cabin.
While in Winter Quarters, death came to the Pond family. 11 year old Ha r riet Miranda Pond passed away 4 December 1846. She is buried in the Mor mo n Pioneer Cemetery in grave #25. According to the Winter Quarters Sex to n Report, she passed away from the “chills and fever” .
Ponds experienced more death. This is taken from a family pioneer journ a l:
"On Wednesday, the 2nd of December 1846, Laura Jane Pond, age 14 years , d aughter of Stillman and Almyra Pond, died of chills and fever. Frida y, t he 4th of December 1846, Harriet M. Pond, Age 11 years, daughter o f Still man and Maria Pond died with chills. Monday, the 7th of December , 1846 , Abigail A. Pond, age 18 years, daughter of Stillman and Almyra P ond, di ed with chills. Friday, the 15 of January, 1847, Lyman Pond, ag e 6 years , son of Stillman and Maria Pond, died with chills and fever.”
Because of the children passed away and her having the disease, and th e c old and hunger which was in Winter Quarters, Maria Louise Davis Pon d als o passed away in May 1847. Stillman was now alone with his two rema inin g daughters from his first wife. Stillman had lost nine of his elev en ch ildren, plus his two wives, between 1833-1847 .
In June 1847 Stillman joined the Abraham O. Smoot Company to travel to t h e Salt Lake Valley.
"Having lost these nine children and his wife in crossing the plains, St i llman Pond did not lose his faith. He did not quit. He went forward. H e p aid a price, as have many others before and since, to become acquaint ed w ith God" (This account of the experiences of Stillman Pond was relat ed b y James E. Faust, "The Refiner's Fire," Ensign, May 1979, p. 54) .

Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr. (May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977) was an A m erican singer and actor. Crosby's trademark warm bass-baritone voice ma d e him the best-selling recording artist of the 20th century, having so l d over one billion records, tapes, compact discs and digital download s ar ound the world.
The first multimedia star, from 1931 to 1954 Crosby was a leader in reco r d sales, radio ratings, and motion picture grosses. His early career co in cided with technical recording innovations such as the microphone. Thi s a llowed him to develop a laid-back, intimate singing style that influe nce d many of the popular male singers who followed him, including Perr y Como , Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes, and Dean Martin. Yank magazine sai d that h e was the person who had done the most for American soldiers' mo rale duri ng World War II. In 1948, American polls declared him the "mos t admired m an alive", ahead of Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII. Also i n 1948, Musi c Digest estimated that his recordings filled more than hal f of the 80,00 0 weekly hours allocated to recorded radio music.
Crosby won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Father Chuc k O 'Malley in the 1944 motion picture Going My Way and was nominated fo r hi s reprise of the role in The Bells of St. Mary's opposite Ingrid Ber gma n the next year, becoming the first of six actors to be nominated twi ce f or playing the same character. In 1963, Crosby received the first Gr amm y Global Achievement Award. He is one of 33 people to have three star s o n the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the categories of motion pictures, r adio , and audio recording.
Crosby influenced the development of the postwar recording industry. H e b ecame the first performer to pre-record his radio shows and master hi s co mmercial recordings onto magnetic tape. Through the medium of record ing , he constructed his radio programs with the same directorial tools a nd c raftsmanship (editing, retaking, rehearsal, time shifting) used in m otio n picture production, a practice that became an industry standard. I n add ition to his work with early tape recording, he helped to finance t he dev elopment of videotape, bought television stations, bred racehorses , and c o-owned the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. On October 14, 1977 , he die d from a heart attack while playing golf in Alcobendas, Spain.
Crosby was born on May 3, 1903 in Tacoma, Washington, in a house his fat h er built at 1112 North J Street. In 1906, his family moved to Spokane , an d in 1913, his father built a house at 508 E. Sharp Avenue. The hous e sit s on the campus of Gonzaga University, his alma mater.
He was the fourth of seven children: brothers Larry (1895–1975), Evere t t (1896–1966), Ted (1900–1973), and Bob (1913–1993); and two sisters, C at herine (1904–1974) and Mary Rose (1906–1990). His parents were Harry L ow e Crosby Sr. (1870–1950), a bookkeeper, and Catherine Helen "Kate" (né e H arrigan; 1873–1964). His mother was a second generation Irish-America n. H is father was of English descent; an ancestor, Simon Crosby, emigrat ed t o America in the 17th century, and one of his descendants marrie d a desce ndant of Mayflower passenger William Brewster (c. 1567 – Apri l 10, 1644).
In 1910, seven-year-old Harry Crosby Jr. was forever renamed. The Sund a y edition of the Spokesman-Review published a feature called "The Bingv il le Bugle." Written by humorist Newton Newkirk, The Bingville Bugle w a s a parody of a hillbilly newsletter, filled with gossip, minstrel quip s , creative spelling, and mock ads. A neighbor, 15-year-old Valentine Ho ba rt, shared his enthusiasm for "The Bugle," and noting his laugh, too k a l iking to him and called him "Bingo from Bingville." Eventually, th e las t vowel was dropped and the nickname stuck.
In 1917, Crosby took a summer job as property boy at Spokane's "Auditori u m," where he witnessed some of the finest acts of the day, including A l J olson, who held him spellbound with ad libbing and parodies of Hawaii an s ongs. He later described Jolson's delivery as "electric."
Crosby graduated from Gonzaga High School (today's Gonzaga Prep) in 19 2 0 and enrolled at Gonzaga University. He attended Gonzaga for three yea r s but did not earn a degree. As a freshman, he played on the university ' s baseball team. The university granted him an honorary doctorate in 19 37 .
Crosby was married twice. His first wife was actress/nightclub singer Di x ie Lee, to whom he was married from 1930 until her death from ovarian c an cer in 1952; they had four sons: Gary, twins Dennis and Phillip, and L ind say. The 1947 Susan Hayward film, Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman, i s indi rectly based on Lee's life. Bing and Dixie along with their childr en live d at 10500 Camarillo Street in North Hollywood for over five year s. Afte r her death, Crosby had relationships with model/Goldwyn Girl Pa t Sheeha n (who married his son Dennis in 1958) and actresses Inger Steve ns and Gr ace Kelly before marrying the actress Kathryn Grant, who conver ted to Cat holicism, in 1957.
They had three children: Harry Lillis III (who played Bill in Friday t h e 13th), Mary (best known for portraying Kristin Shepard, who shot J . R . Ewing on TV's Dallas), and Nathaniel (the 1981 U.S. Amateur champio n i n golf).
Crosby was a registered Republican, and actively campaigned for Wendel l W illkie in 1940 against President Roosevelt, arguing that no man shoul d se rve more than two terms in the White House. After Willkie lost, Cros by de creed that he would never again make any open political contributio ns.
Crosby reportedly had an alcohol problem in his youth, and may have be e n dismissed from Paul Whiteman's orchestra because of it, but he late r go t a handle on his drinking. According to Giddins, Crosby told his so n Gar y to stay away from alcohol, adding, "It killed your mother."
After Crosby's death, his eldest son, Gary, wrote a highly critical memo i r, Going My Own Way, depicting his father as cruel, cold, remote, and b ot h physically and psychologically abusive. Gary Crosby wrote:
We had to keep a close watch on our actions... When one of us left a sne a ker or pair of underpants lying around, he had to tie the offending obj ec t on a string and wear it around his neck until he went off to bed tha t n ight. Dad called it "the Crosby lavalier". At the time the humor of t he n ame escaped me...
"Satchel Ass" or "Bucket Butt" or "My Fat-assed Kid". That's how he intr o duced me to his cronies when he dragged me along to the studio or racet ra ck... By the time I was ten or eleven he had stepped up his campaign b y a dding lickings to the regimen.
Each Tuesday afternoon he weighed me in, and if the scale read more th a n it should have, he ordered me into his office and had me drop my trou se rs... I dropped my pants, pulled down my undershorts and bent over. Th e n he went at it with the belt dotted with metal studs he kept reserve d fo r the occasion. Quite dispassionately, without the least display o f emoti on or loss of self-control, he whacked away until he drew the fir st dro p of blood, and then he stopped. It normally took between twelve a nd fift een strokes. As they came down I counted them off one by one an d hope d I would bleed early...
When I saw Going My Way I was as moved as they were by the character h e p layed. Father O'Malley handled that gang of young hooligans in his pa ris h with such kindness and wisdom that I thought he was wonderful too . Inst ead of coming down hard on the kids and withdrawing his affection , he for gave them their misdeeds, took them to the ball game and pictur e show, ta ught them how to sing. By the last reel, the sheer persistenc e of his goo dness had transformed even the worst of them into solid citi zens. Then th e lights came on and the movie was over. All the way back t o the hous e I thought about the difference between the person up there o n the scree n and the one I knew at home.
Younger son Phillip vociferously disputed his brother Gary's claims abo u t their father. Around the time Gary made his claim, Phillip stated t o th e press that "Gary is a whining... crybaby, walking around with a 2- by- 4 and just daring people to nudge it off." However, Phillip did not d en y that Crosby believed in corporal punishment. In an interview with Pe opl e, Phillip stated that "we never got an extra whack or a cuff we didn 't d eserve." During a later interview conducted in 1999 by the Globe, Ph illi p said:
My dad was not the monster my lying brother said he was; he was strict , b ut my father never beat us black and blue, and my brother Gary wa s a vici ous, no-good liar for saying so. I have nothing but fond memorie s of Dad , going to studios with him, family vacations at our cabin in Id aho, boat ing and fishing with him. To my dying day, I'll hate Gary for d ragging Da d's name through the mud. He wrote Going My Own Way out of gre ed. He want ed to make money and knew that humiliating our father and bla ckening hi s name was the only way he could do it. He knew it would gener ate a lot o f publicity. That was the only way he could get his ugly, no- talent fac e on television and in the newspapers. My dad was my hero. I l oved him ve ry much. He loved all of us too, including Gary. He was a gre at father.
However, Dennis and Lindsay Crosby confirmed that their father was physi c ally abusive. Lindsay added, "I'm glad [Gary] did it. I hope it clear s u p a lot of the old lies and rumors." Unlike Gary, however, Lindsay sa id t hat he preferred to remember "all the good things I did with my da d and f orget the times that were rough." Dennis asserted that the book w as "Gary 's business" and a result of his "anger," but would not deny th e book's c laims. Bing's younger brother, singer and jazz bandleader Bo b Crosby, rec alled at the time of Gary's revelations that Bing was a "di sciplinarian, " as their mother and father had been. He added, "We were b rought up tha t way." In an interview for the same article, Gary clarifie d that Bing wa s abusive as a means of administering punishment: "He wa s not out to be v icious, to beat children for his kicks." | Crosby, Harry Lillis Jr (I167729)

Corneliu Vadim Tudor chose his middle name and pseudonym after Roger Vad i m.
Early life
Roger Vadim Plemiannikov was born in Paris. His father, Igor Nikolaevi c h Plemiannikov, a White Russian military officer and pianist, had emigr at ed from Ukraine and became a naturalized French citizen, and was a vic e c onsul of France to Egypt, stationed in Alexandria. His mother, Marie- Anto inette (née Ardilouze), was a French writer and essayist. Although V adi m lived as a diplomat's child in Northern Africa and the Middle Eas t in h is early youth, the death of his father, when Vadim was nine year s old, c aused the family to return to France, where his mother found wor k runnin g a hostel in the French Alps, which was functioning as a way-st ation fo r Jews and other fugitives fleeing Nazism.
Vadim studied journalism and writing at the University of Paris, witho u t graduating.
Film career
At age 19, he became assistant to film director Marc Allégret, whom he m e t while working at the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt, and for whom he worke d o n several screenplays. He was an assistant director on Allegret's Bla nch e Fury (1948), a commercially unsuccessful melodrama which Allegret m ad e for a British company in English.
Vadim was one of several writers on Allegret's French-British The Nake d H eart (1950), aka Maria Chapdelaine, starring Michèle Morgan, as wel l as s erving as assistant director. It was shot in French and English ve rsions . Blackmailed (1951) was another film Allegret directed in England , starr ing Mai Zetterling and Dirk Bogarde; Vadim was credited as one o f the wri ters. He was also one of several writers on Allegret's, La demo iselle e t son revenant (1952).
Vadim did the screenplay and commentary for a documentary, Le gouffr e d e la Pierre Saint-Marti (1953) and was assistant director on Allegret 's J ulietta (1953), a popular romance with Jean Marais, Dany Robin and J eann e Moreau. Vadim wrote Allegret's Loves of Three Queens (1954), wit h Hed y Lamarr.
Vadim had begun a relationship with model-actress Brigitte Bardot. She w a s given in a good role in a drama directed by Allegret, School for Lov e ( 1953), aka Futures Vendettes, starring Jean Marais; Vadim wrote the s crip t with Allegret. The film was a commercial disappointment.
However the next collaboration between Allegret, Bardot and Vadim, Pluck i ng the Daisy (1956), aka Mam'selle Striptease, was a huge success at t h e French box office. So too was Naughty Girl (1956), with Bardot. Thi s al lowed Vadim to get backing for his first movie as director.
Vadim's first film as director was based on an original story of his, A n d God Created Woman (1956). Starring Bardot, Curt Jurgens and Christia n M arquand, it was not only a major success in France, but around the wo rld , and established Bardot as a world icon.
Vadim followed it with No Sun in Venice (1957) starring Françoise Arno u l and Marquand, which was considerably less popular than And God Creat e d Woman. More popular was The Night Heaven Fell (1958), starring Bardo t a nd Stephen Boyd. He was one of several writers on Allegret's popula r come dy, Be Beautiful But Shut Up (1958), starring Mylène Demongeot.
Vadims's next film was an adaptation of the book Les liaisons dangereus e s (1959), which he wrote and directed. It starred Moreau, Gérard Phili p e (in his final film) and Annette Stroyberg, a Danish model who becam e Va dim's second wife. The film became a huge hit in France.
Stroyberg was also in the vampire film Blood and Roses (1960). They divo r ced shortly afterwards.
Vadim was reunited with Bardot for Please, Not Now! (1961), a popular co m edy. He was one of several directors of the anthology film,The Seven De ad ly Sins (1962).
Vadim began a relationship with a young Catherine Deneuve. She starre d i n a segment of the anthology film Tales of Paris (1962), which was wr itte n by Vadim and directed by Allegret. She starred in a film Vadim hel ped w rite and produce, And Satan Calls the Turns (1962), and was also Vi ce an d Virtue (1963), which Vadim directed.
Vadim had another success writing and directing for Bardot, Love on a Pi l low (1962), but found less favour with Nutty, Naughty Chateau (1963) st ar ring Monica Vitti.
Vadim tried another adaptation of a classic erotic text, La Ronde (1964 ) . He said at the time, "When I make a picture about relations between p eo ple, something erotic comes through; I can't help it! But sex has bee n a n inspiration, the greatest inspiration, since art exists." One of th e fi lm's many stars was rising American actress Jane Fonda who began a r omant ic relationship with Vadim.
Vadim devised a vehicle for Fonda, The Game Is Over (1966), based on a b o ok by Émile Zola. Shot in French and English versions, it was very popu la r in France, though less so in the US.
Dino de Laurentiis wanted Fonda to star in a science fiction sex comed y , Barbarella (1968) and she agreed provided Vadim could direct. Followi n g this he directed Fonda in a segment of the omnibus horror film Spiri t s of the Dead (1968) along with her brother Peter Fonda.
During his marriage to Fonda, Vadim would accompany her back to the US p e riodically while she made movies there. He and Fonda broke up and Vadi m d irected Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971) for MGM, starring Rock Hudso n an d Angie Dickinson. It was a commercial disappointment.
Vadim returned to France. He wrote and directed Hellé (1972), starring G w en Welles, which was a flop. He was reunited with Bardot for Don Juan , o r If Don Juan Were a Woman (1973), which was Bardot's penultimate mov ie a nd a commercial disappointment.
Not particularly successful either were Charlotte (1974), and Game of Se d uction (1976) with Sylvia Kristel and Nathalie Delon. He directed a T V mo vie Bonheur, impair et passe (1977), starring Danielle Darrieux.
In the 1980s Vadim based himself in the US. He directed Night Games (198 0 ), where he attempted to make a star of Cindy Pickett, with whom he bec am e romantically involved. He directed a caper film in Canada, The Hot T ouc h (1981), starring Marie-France Pisier. Back in France he wrote and d irec ted Surprise Party (1983). He directed episodes of Faerie Tale Theat re (1 984) and Deadly Nightmares (1986).
Vadim attempted to recapture his former success with a new version of A n d God Created Woman (1988), with Rebecca de Mornay. Very different fro m t he original – it only really used the same title – it failed critical ly a nd commercially.
His final years were spent working in TV, where he directed Safari (199 1 ) and wrote and directed Amour fou (1993), starring Marie-Christine Bar ra ult who became his final wife. She was also in directed La Nouvelle tr ib u (1996) and its sequel Un coup de baguette magique (1997), which Vadi m w rote and directed.
