    • John Wilkey and family traveled with the Joseph W Young Company.


      John Ostler was born 9 January, 1809, to Jonathan and Ann Wakely Ostle r . John was born in Charmouth, Dorsetshire, England. In 1819, John’s mot he r passed away and his father remarried. His father’s second spouse wa s El izabeth Ostler, a cousin. John grew up in Uplyme and was brought u p in th e sail cloth trade. John’s father was a weaver. The Ostler famil y was alw ays very close and would move together to new communities and e mployment . When John became old enough to move out on his own he moved t o Bridport , here he met Sarah Endacott. Sarah Endacott was born 7 May, 1 809, in Sto ke Abbot, Dorsetshire, England. She was the illegitimate daug hter of Thom as Gollop, son of a local land owner, and Agnes Endacott, pr obably a hous ehold servant. Agnes was from Devonshire and had come to St oke Abbot fo r work. Agnes sued Thomas for support of Sarah and won. Sara h was christe ned 25 December, 1811, in Bridport. In 1822, Sarah becam e a sister to Geo rge Endacott, another illegitimate child of Agnes and s ometime after thi s event Agnes was married to a Mr. Gallacher. In 1851 , Agnes is a schoo l teacher and a widow according to the census. When Sa rah became old enou gh she went to work as a spinner in the sail cloth tr ade, this is how sh e met John Ostler. The two of them were married 6 Jun e, 1830, in the Brid port Parish Church. John and Sarah would have ten ch ildren: Jonathan, Wil liam, William Gallop, Sarah Ann, John Charles, Geor ge Gallacher, David, O liver Ratford, Sarah Ann and Mary. John was a sail cloth weaver, making sa ils for the ships that sailed the seas under th e name of Great Britain. S arah worked as a spinner of the threads. The w ork was not very steady a s it was done only when commissioned for a ship , and the family had to mo ve many times for employment. John and Sarah w ere not pleased with the ch urch in which they had been raised. They eve n tried at least once the Met hodist religion. John and Sarah met the Chu rch of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints while living in Bridport, and i n 28 March, 1847, they joined t he church. They were always very active . They wanted to come to Utah, bu t the expense was very high and their a bility to save that much money fro m their meager wages was impossible. J ohn was ordained to be a teacher i n 1847 and it may be assumed later obt ained the Melchizedek priesthood, b ut many records no longer exist. In 1 855, the family moved to Southampton , perhaps hoping to find better empl oyment. The family continued to gathe r money for the journey to Utah. I n 1859, two of John’s sons left for Uta h. The goal being perhaps they co uld make it possible for the rest of th e family to follow. In the end, J ohn’s family came to Utah by means of th e Perpetual Emigration Fund. I n 1861, John and five of his children saile d on the “Manchester” from Li verpool to New York. They arrived in New Yor k 14 May, 1861. Claudius Spe ncer was the leader to this company of Saints . The Saints were suppose d to have been paid for, but when they reached F lorence it was found tha t this had not happened. They prayed and their pr ayers were answered. Th e Saints had to be provided for, so it was arrange d that they would wor k for the telegraph company in order to pay their wa y across the plains . John worked for the telegraph company in order to co mplete the journey . John and his family were able to come to Utah durin g that year with th e Claudius Spencer Company. John and his family staye d in Salt Lake Cit y for their first winter with one of his sons which ha d come earlier. Th e next spring they left for Nephi to settle the area. T he family was giv en a piece of ground between 1st and 2nd East and 4th an d 5th South. Thi s community was starting from scratch, and John and Sara h were upper mid dle-aged. They managed and built a home in the town. Joh n was not very h ealthy, when he came to this country. He suffered from co nsumption and i n the summer of 1869, he went to Salt Lake City to get hel p. On 25 Augus t, 1869, he passed away. He was buried in the Salt Lake Cit y Cemetery. S arah accompanied him. After his death, Sarah returned to Nep hi and live d with her children and grandchildren around her until three y ears later , when 24 April, 1872, she also died. She was buried in the Vin e Bluff C emetery. “Sarah Endacott Gollop Ostler.” in Pioneer Women of Fai th and F ortitude. 2251-2252. Teerlink, Mary L.
