David Tulley LeBaron, son of David and Lydia Batchelder LeBaron, was born in Genessee County, New York. He married Esther Maleta Johnson at Macedonia, Hancock County, Illinois on March 28, 1844. He, and his family, were among the Saints who came west in 1852. In 1856, they helped settle Summit Creek, later called Santaquin, then moved to Salt Lake City where they built a home in the 15th Ward. They were the parents of twelve children, eight of whom reached maturity.
In 1865, David LeBaron had the opportunity of homesteading 160 acres of land on the south side of Utah Lake. He proved upon it in 1870, and was granted a deed to this land by the government on July 19th, 1870, signed by President Ulysses S. Grant. He began at once to make improvements on the land, building a small log house, and later a larger one of adobes which he and his sons had made. The father and sons put much of the land in dry-land wheat, but they also planted a garden near the house and irrigated it from a spring which furnished them their culinary water. Shade trees were planted around the house. A few head of cattle were purchased and wild hay was put up from the meadows near the lake.
To supplement their livelihood the men engaged in hunting, fishing and trapping. They built some fine row boats and spent much of their time on the lake. Some of the boats were for rent to pleasure seekers who came to the lake on outings. Much fun was had fishing for catfish from the boats or spearing carp. Wild ducks and geese were plentiful in this area and they procured a fine market for these birds in season in Salt Lake City. Each week during the fall and winter months they would ship as many as they could kill and dress for market. In the early spring they trapped muskrats and again they rowed their boats from place to place attending to their traps. Mr. LeBaron purchased heavy twine from the Cotton Mills and they made a seine50 x 12 feet for catching fish. During the winter months peddlers came and bought fish from them at reasonable prices. The men fished under the ice with the seine and sometimes could bring in nearly a ton of various kinds.
When Mr. LeBaron's health began to fail, he turned the old homestead over to my father, George W. LeBaron, who had remained with him through the years, his other sons having gone to Arizona to make their homes. Some of my fondest memories as a child were the visits to the "Old Lake Place" from our home in Santaquin. My father passed away last March, 1958 at the age of 95 years. His three sons are the owners of this old homestead and it is being managed by some of their sons at the present time. Vera LeBaron Finch
It was Christmas day of 1841 and guests had assembled in the Kirtland, Ohio, home of the Prophet Joseph Smith until every room was full. Here a wedding of a well-known and popular couple was to take place. The couple whose nuptials were to be celebrated were my maternal grandparents, Melissa Bloomfield LeBaron and Benjamin Franklin Johnson.
The bride, a young convert to the Church from Leroy, Genessee County, New York, was a vision of loveliness in her bridal robes. She had been enrolled the preceding season as a student in the university at Kirtland, where she was also closely associated with Benjamin's younger sister. She had been half-orphaned at twelve, by the death of her father, David Tully LeBaron, and was now made fully so, when her mother, Lydia Batchelder LeBaron, also passed away. The legacy that awaited her in a New York bank, she was ready to lay at the feet of the man she loved. The groom, Benjamin Franklin Johnson, had come from one of the best known and most prominent families in the Church. He was a son of Julia Hills and Ezekiel Johnson, and he too was a New Yorker by birth, his native soil being in Pomphret, Chautauqua County. Young Johnson was a tall, dark, handsome man of twenty-two with large snappy black eyes, and he had just returned from a highly successful Church mission in the northeast. At the close of the day's festivities following the wedding service, which was read by Elder Almon Whiting Babbitt the attorney husband of Benjamin's older sister, Julia the bridal couple, accompanied by young Johnson's father and two sisters present for the wedding, departed for Macedonia, formerly known as Ramus, which was twenty miles east of Nauvoo. Macedonia was the home of young Johnson's parents, and here a home for the newlyweds was to be established. It was while en route to this location that the wedding party met with an unforgettable experience, one that stamped indelibly upon their minds forever the utter fallacy and sinfulness of Sunday travel.
Grandfather wrote of this experience:
"With all past experiences, we had a lesson yet to learn. We were just over the Illinois line in Prairie County and it was the Sabbath. We had driven hard all week and needed rest yet our anxiety was so great to get to our friends that, although we knew the Lord had said, 'thou shalt rest on the Sabbath,' in our haste we did not do so, and driving until noon we crossed a deep creek on the opposite bank of which was an open space of beautiful grass surrounded by timber and high brush. Our teams were tired, but heretofore on the road had given no evidence that they were easily frightened or disposed to run away. So driving into the tall grass, I slipped off their bridles as I had often done before, but no sooner had I done so than they began to show signs of fright and commenced to plunge and start to run. My father was just doing the same with his buggy horse, and my sisters stood holding the span attached to the family carriage. I did all possible to quiet my team but they broke away. My father's did the same, the others broke from the women and all went tearing through the timber and brush until every vehicle smashed and goods and harness strung piecemeal for three-fourths of a mile around.
"A greater smash-up it was never my bad luck to see. At first I looked upon the wreck as impossible to reconstruct, but we gathered up and put the parts together and got all mechanical help possible, labored hard and by the next Sabbath day we had so far reconstructed our vehicles that by noon we hitched up, and feeling again tempted through anxiety, we drove fifteen miles to early camp, but when unhitching our horses, they again, all but one, took fright, took the back track and, as though spurred by the evil one, ran the whole distance to our former camp. Mounting the one horse left, I followed with utmost speed and found them with legs terribly lacerated by the tug chains and streaming with blood and sweat.
"I made no stop, but hurried them back as fast as I could ride, arriving in camp just before sunset and was up much of the night, bathing the bruised legs of the animals, and telling the Lord if He would now forgive me and give us His blessing for the rest of the journey, I would promise never to forget the experience of those two days. "We started early the next morning and with all their fatigue and bruises our animals seemed all right and made us no trouble afterwards. I knew then and I know now that this experience was given to me of the Lord for my profit and to record as a testimony to my children, that the Lord will not hold in favor those who do not rest upon and hallow the Sabbath day."
Grandmother also had two brothers, Alonzo and David Tully LeBaron, Jr. and the latter through his marriage to her husband's sister, Esther Meleta Johnson became her brother-in-law. David Tully spent many years in the Salt River Valley of Arizona. He was buried at an advanced age in Mesa.
Grandmother's maternal grandparents were Nancy Morell and Timothy Batchelder, of Danville, Caledonia, Vermont.
During the years while Grandmother lived, Grandfather, at the urging of the Church, had added to his family by taking plural wives. One by one, these fine, noble women had been added until he had taken six, but always with the full consent and approval of Grandmother. She believed implicitly in the Prophet's words and cherished her membership in the Church. She willingly, although no one knows with what quaking heart, shared both her husband and worldly goods; her one desire was to be worthy of the term "Saint." Three of these wives, the Holman sisters, by name, Harriet Naomi, Sarah Melissa, and Susan, were her nieces, daughters of her half-sister, Naomi LeBaron. Naomi, the daughter of Melissa's father and Zuba King in an earlier marriage, was wedded to James Holman.
The remaining three wives of Grandfather B. F. Johnson included Mary Ann Hale, an orphan whom his mother, Julia Hills Johnson, raised in addition to her own sixteen children and two orphaned grandchildren; Clarinda Gleason, a woman of wide capabilities; and the attractive Sarah Jane Spooner. It was at the breast of the latter that the infant Leah, at the death of her mother, was placed. But the little girl, delicate from birth, survived her mother by but six months.
Grandmother was an ideal homemaker, industrious and orderly in all her ways. She and Grandfather were both fortunate?he that she maintained his home so beautifully, and she that he turned her yards into objects of rare beauty. Grandmother was a faithful, devoted wife and a tender, loving mother. She had been called to pass through trials and to make numerous sacrifices. She had seen times of great scarcity, of intense peril and heartbreaking sorrow, but always she had remained cheerful and uncomplaining with her faith in the Lord. On one occasion when the Prophet accompanied Grandfather home after a meeting, the latter pointed out to Grandmother their loss in not having their babies present, as that night the Prophet had blessed many children. Immediately the Prophet declared, "you shall miss nothing," and thereupon he gave the desired blessings.
Before the Prophet's death, he spent much of his time in their home. In fact, when he came on his frequent trips to Macedonia, he would stay at no other place. They were close friends and he was partial to Grandmother's cooking. He was always ready to don an apron and aid in the dishwashing. Being jovial and full of entertainment plans, he made the evenings something to look forward to. Often they would match couplets and other rhymes. He was a tall man, robust but not corpulent and fair with clear blue eyes, a striking figure in any gathering. After the Prophet's tragic death, Grandfather was present at the meeting when his mantle fell upon Brigham Young. From then on he and Grandmother knew for a surety the latter was to lead the Church.
One terrifying experience Grandmother was subjected to transpired on a night while her husband was ill in bed and while they, with others, were encamped in a grove. A tempest, strong and terrible arose unexpectedly, and trees, crashing on all sides, mingled with screams of terror. To their horror, when the storm abated, they found a tree had crashed across a neighboring tent, crushing to death the wife of a Brother Hodge and seriously injuring his grown daughter. They themselves had been somehow miraculously spared, the trees leaning in the other direction. At another time, Grandmother suffered tortures in her mind while the minutes sped by before her little ones, threatened with suffocation or crushing, could be extricated after their heavily loaded wagon became unbalanced, toppled over and pinned them underneath. They finally emerged unscathed but somewhat awed by the experience, yet little realizing the great danger to which they had been exposed.
Once, also, in attempting to cross the Mississippi River, they discovered to their dismay that the ice was already thinning. Grandfather and five-year-old Frank walked ahead, leading the way with the team driven by Grandmother, the two smaller children at her side. Suddenly, while yet in the stream, they heard the ominous sound of ice breaking and knew it was giving way under the feet of the horses. At the next moment, Grandmother felt the wagon sinking. With blanched face, in one last desperate effort, she struck out blindly with the whip. The startled horses plunged forward, striking their hoofs on dry ground. The wagon was drawn to safety. Grandmother also at one time suffered another form of shock and one that might have destroyed the faith of one less strong, yet it did not affect hers. On calling for her inheritance in a New York bank, it was discovered both the furnishings and hundreds of dollars in interest money had been squandered by the profligate bishop into whose hands it had been placed for safekeeping.
We did not know our grandmother, Melissa Bloomfield LeBaron. She was called to the other side when my mother was but thirteen years of age. But Mother adored her, certain in her own mind no other mother could be so unwaveringly kind, gentle and patient. Her uncle, Joseph E. Johnson, a newspaper editor, was quick in his praise of her, assuring Mother she was a lady in every particular. Grandmother was of French descent and there are legends about her, but they all seem wrapped in the same theme that she descended from and was not far removed from royalty; that she was a lady of refinement, beauty and culture.
On November 23, 1870, with my wife, Sarah Jane, and nephew, D. T. LeBaron as driver, left home and rapidly driving for fifteen days, reached St. George Dec. 7, and met our kindred and friends and were pleasantly greeted by President Young and the Council.... Feeling kindly towards us as a family, President Young suggested that we colonize the Scootempah or Rock Spring Valley, about 12 miles from Kanab. This just suited my wish to get my family to some secluded place, and I gladly accepted the offer, as did also my brother.... Much pleased with the idea of colonizing as suggested, we left St. George about the 25th of January to explore the Rock Spring Valley, our route being through Toker, Virgin City and Kanab, a distance of 112 miles. Our party consisted of my brothers, Joel H. and wife, Joseph E., George W. and wife, William D., David T. LeBaron, nephews Sixtus E. Johnson, Nephi Johnson and Elmer Johnson, with myself and wife. We made pleasant calls upon many kindred and friends on our way, arriving at Rock Springs about the 29th.... (Not successful.)
In the Spring of 1839, we again started westward to gather with the Saints, but when we arrived within twenty miles of Commerce, later Nauvoo, it was thought best to remain there and build a town at a place called Perkins Settlement. Land was soon purchased and a town laid off and called Ramus, signifying Branch, afterwards changed to Macedonia. We remained here about four years, during which time my youngest brother, Amos, died. During the year of 1843 my two sisters, one brother, and myself were married: Mary to George Wilson, Esther to David LeBaron, Joseph to Harriet Snider, and myself to Maria Jane Johnston.
While here, I assisted in the building of the Nauvoo Temple and was present at the dedication. I was ordained an Elder under the hands of Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball, and later was ordained into the 25th Quorum of Seventy. In June 1844, I moved to Nauvoo. For some time my health was very poor, and I made up my mind to go to the Southern Country to try to improve it by traveling. In the spring of 1846, I started for Tennessee where my wife's people were living. There I arrived safely after a tedious journey of several weeks, and remained through the summer. About the 1st of October I started back to Nauvoo, where I arrived about the last of the month. I remained at Nauvoo through the winter, but my health continued poor and not being able to labor, I concluded to try traveling again. In the spring of 1847, I again stared for Tennessee where I spent the summer, and in October started for Nauvoo, taking with me my wife's sister, Margaret, and her husband, Pleasant Minchey ... During the next summer and following winter, I remained at Nauvoo. Inasmuch as a very incorrect account of its burning has been published, I will here insert my account of it:
During the year of 1848, David T. LeBaron and myself, were engaged in exhibiting the Nauvoo Temple to strangers, he attending it one day and I the next. On the 18th of November I was taking a party through. We had been to the top and returned as far as the second story when I heard voices below. Leaving my company I ran down to the main room below, where I found the door partly opened and two men sitting in the pulpit talking, one of them telling the other what a host of lives the building of the Temple had cost, how much suffering and sorrow, when I entered and invited them to leave, which they did. I was then boarding at a public house north of the Temple across the street, kept by a man named Slocum. After the Temple was burned, he was heard to say that he saw the flame when it did not look larger than a man's hand. His room was facing the Temple. The fire started late at night when all were supposed to be in bed and asleep. The west basement window on the south side which led to the stairway had been taken out and was sitting against the wall of the building, showing that no key had been used in entering the building and the fire was stared in the upper story. Now it is a supposable case at least, that if a man saw the fire when it did not look larger than a man's hand at that time of night, he must have been watching for it and all of these facts do away with the Agnew story that he went from Appanoose on horseback and with a false key went to the door and set the fire. There are some living now who can corroborate these statements.

[Note: This is not his second marriage it is his son David Tulley Jr's Marriage Rob Forrest]
David was left an orphan at the age of eight. He went to live with his sister, Naomi, and her family. According to records, Naomi and her husband were baptized on the day they were married, and David was baptized about this same time. When he was 12, the family moved to Kirtland. In 1838, David left because of the persecution of the saints. He faced more persecution in Missouri and Nauvoo. David was a close friend of the Prophet and gave him some of his own inheritance to help him. While in Illinois, David married Esther, and together they faced the persecution in Illinois. When they left, they stopped in Council Bluffs where Esther's mother was living. While there they had two children and lost three of their children. In 1854 they crossed the plains.
David helped at the time of Johnston's Army and assisted whenever and wherever his help was needed during the early days. For a time they settled in Summit Creek, then moved to Santaquin. Later they helped settle both Payson and Spring Lake. In 1858, David returned to Salt Lake where he built a home. Wherever they lived, David was active in the community and church, helping wherever he was needed. They planted a fine orchard as well as fruit and vegetable gardens. Esther wanted her children to get an education and helped them whenever possible. David homesteaded 160 acres on the south side of Utah Lake and was granted a deed by Ulysses S. Grant . He was partner in a saw mill, built fine row boats, trapped and hunted to help supplement their income. Before David's death, he turned the homestead over to a son and moved to Mesa, Arizona , where he died.
