  • Notes 
    • Jacob Hamblin was born 6 April 1819 in Ashtabula County, Ohio. His paren t s were farmers, and he learned farming as a youth. In 1836 his family m ov ed to Wisconsin Territory and homesteaded at a place called Spring Pra iri e. Hamblin’s father told Jacob when he was nineteen that he had bee n a fa ithful boy and that it was time for him to go into the world and d o somet hing for himself. Hamblin then traveled more than a hundred mile s west an d went to work in the Galena mines. After working for a few mon ths, he ba rely escaped a rock fall that killed his co-worker. The incide nt gave hi m an aversion to mining, and he never returned to the mines. C ollecting h is wages, he returned to Wisconsin and paid for the land he h ad helped ho mestead.

      In the autumn of 1839 he married Lucinda Taylor and settled down to sta r t a family. However, in February 1842 he heard that Mormon elders wer e pr eaching nearby. After listening to the Mormon preaching, he joined t he Mo rmon church on 3 March 1842. Hamblin started missionary work almos t immed iately and became known as a faith healer, showing the signs of “ those th at believe,” in his words. The next year he moved to Nauvoo, Ill inois, wh ere the Mormon church headquarters were located.

      Anti-Mormon sentiment was building and Hamblin and his family received t h eir share. At that time he met and married Rachel Judd as his second (t ha t is, plural) wife. His families moved west with the Mormons. He settl e d in Tooele Valley and became acquainted with local Indians who knew h i m as a friend. In 1854 Hamblin was called as a missionary to the India n s in southern Utah.

      Again, he became known for his influence with Native Americans becaus e o f his integrity and his willingness to be friends with them. He had m an y spiritual experiences that caused the Indians to consider him invest e d with godly powers. After serving in his Indian mission for more th a n a year, Hamblin moved his family from Tooele to what is now Santa Cla ra . He then became president of the southern Utah Indian mission.

      In the fall of 1857 Hamblin went north to confer with Brigham Young in S a lt Lake City. On the way he encountered the Fancher Party of emigrants , C alifornia bound from Arkansas and Missouri. They asked him about th e roa d and places to camp. He directed them to Mountain Meadows on the o ld Spa nish Trail, about three miles from his home. He later expressed ho rror an d repugnance at news of the massacre of the Fancher Party at Moun tain Mea dows. His wife Rachel helped care for the massacre survivors a t the ranch .

      Hamblin continued to serve as a missionary to the Native American trib e s in the Southern Utah area. Following enactment of the Edmunds Act o f 18 82, an arrest order was issued naming Hamblin and others known to pr actic e polygamy. Hamblin moved his families from Utah into Arizona and N ew Mex ico and some even moved into Chihuahua, Mexico. Until his death o n 31 Aug ust 1886, Hamblin was usually moving from one family to anothe r to evad e federal officers and see to the needs of his widespread famil y. He ha d four wives: Lucinda Taylor (married April 1839, separated Febr uary 1849 ); Rachel Judd (married 30 September 1849); Sarah Priscilla Lea vitt (marr ied September 1857); Louisa Boneli (married 16 November 1865) . He fathere d twenty-four children and had several adopted children. Hi s lasting lega cy was as a missionary and friend to the Native Americans , helping smoot h relations between them and the more recent arrivals t o the land.
