Washington Lemmon (Lemon) 1806 - 1902 Mormon Pioneer

This is a picture I found of Washington Lemmon (1806- 1902) who was a Mormon Pioneer. He came to Utah with the saints in 1852 with his wife Tamer Stevens (Stephens) (1807- 1893). His father James Lemmon (1763 - 1857) who was a teenage boy and grandfather Robert Lemmon (1730 - ?) fought with the Patriots in the Revolutionary War and served with General George Washington. I am not sure of the fate or death of Robert Lemmon but if anyone has any more information please let me know.

Samuel Hargraves 1811-1871


On our last trip to Logan, Utah we stopped in Providence to find the grave of Samuel Hargraves who is my great..great? grandfather. It is interesting that I have a different birthdate than the grave marker although this is the information that has been handed down in my family and this IS his grave. I have his DOB June 24 1814.  I will do a litle more research anyway. Samuel was an original  pioneer with the LDS Church in the mid 1800's.
