"lived in Pleasant Valley, Nevada . Had a big home near Elko; still there." Her sources: (993422), p. 209, Manti sealing records, 1871 Nova Scotia census. Or spelled Ogleby. Susan Ogilvie says he was born in Bridgewater, Plymouth, MA. She get s that from Jetta Brunson's record which says George's mother was in Bridgew ater for the settlement of an estate. From LIFE OF GEORGE BEYERS OGILVIE: PIONEER ELKO COUNTY RANCHER writt en by his grandson, George Francis Ogilvie, Jan 12, 1966, Elko, Nevada: "George Beyers Ogilvie was born Aug. 4, 1804, the 5th son of John Ogi lvie and Alice Ellis of New York City, N.Y. He was born in Bridgewater, Mass. , because his mother, being an American, was in Bridgewater at the time settlin g an estate left to her by a relative. All the rest of his brothers and s isters were born near Halifax, Nova Scotia. It seems they had a home abou t 40 or 50 miles north or northeast of Halifax on the Musquodoboit River. The f amily all grew up hear Halifax, N.S. There were 12 children all together: Jame s, John, Peter, William, George Beyers, Arthur Wesley, Alexander, Esther, Ma y Ann, Louisa, Ellis, and Betsey. (He doesn't mention Eunice.) "George Beyers' first wife was Barbara Elizabeth Mattatahl, who was b orn May 12, 1797 at Tannanguich, Nova Scotia. She had been married before t o a man by the name of George Campbell and had four children by him. George Bey ers and Barbara Elizabeth has seven children--3 boys and 4 girls. All of the m, including their father, were converted to the Mormon Church in Nova S cotia. "In about 1853 George B. decided tomove to Utah. He had the whole fa mily with him--his wife, seven children, and a stepdaughter, Margaret Jane Camp bell. On their way west they went by way of Nauvoo, Illinois. At that place b oth George B. and his son, George, were employed as teamsters for Noah T. Guymo n Company of Pioneers. During the journey across the plain, the Pioneer Compan y became sorely afflicted with cholera, and George, being trained as a docto r in Boston, did all he could to help the sick, but they could not get medicine an d many died. The Noah T. Guymon Co., with the Ogilvie fmaily, arrived in Sa lt Lake City on Sept. 12, 1855. The Ogilvie family settled at Big Cottonwoo d in the Salt Lake Valley. While there they endured many hardships as the gra sshoppers had eaten practically all the crops in 1855. In the spring of 1856 t hey survived on Sego Lily roots, weeds, etc. Later in the fall George B . received 5 bushels of wheat from the Mormon Church to feed a family of 10. "George B. and his son, George, operated a sawmill in Little Cottonwood Canyon, now called Alta. It was about at this time that G eorge B. and his wife separated and his family moved to Spanish Fork, Utah. "In 1858 or early 1859, Geroge B. married Jane McAusland Evans Fordha m. Their first child was named George and was born at Spanish Fork in 1859 an d died from pneumonia in Nevada in 1882. There were also 3 boys and 4 girls bor n to this marriage: George McCausland, Elizabeth, Peter James, Jane, Alice, Dav id, and Annie. "While living in Spanish Fork, George B. became interested in mining . He located the Jordan mining claim in Bingham Canyon, which was the firs t mining claim recorded in the state of Utah. Geroge B. moved his second wif e and one or two of their children to Bingham from Spanish Fork. Peter alway s claimed to be the first white child born in Bingham Canyon. It was while livin g in Bingham Canyon that George B. and his partner became invovled with th e leaders of the Mormon Church and George B. severed his affiliation with the C hurch. After all the trouble they had at Nauvoo, the leaders of the church d ecided that mining would bring too many people who were not of their religio n. "George B. did not have the money to develop the Jordan mining claim , so he moved his family to Stockton, Utah, wherehe operated a butcher shop f or a short time. "In 1868 George B. operated a stage line. His family lived int he Su garhouse Area of Salt Lake City. When the Southern Pacific Railroad was bein g built, his stage line carried the railroad passengeers from one terminal poi nt to the other. When the golden spike was drive in May 1869, he was out o f a job, so he decided to move the family to California. When they got to Tem Mil e Creek, 10 miles south of Elko, George B. thought it would be a good place to ma ke a ranch since there was lots of water and a nice natural meadow of hay. The y built a log cabin that fall. Annie, the youngest, was born at Ten Mile in 18 70. "There was a dry year in 1870, so George B. decided to move closer t o the Ruby Mountains. He located on two places. Shortly after moving, George B . and his second wife separated and each kept one of the places. "1873 was another dry year that took the heart out of George B. He g ave his place to his oldest daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband and they wer e totake care of him the rest of his life, which they did. George B. whippe d the town bully in Samville when he was 70 years old. He died with Brights dis ease in Pleasant Valley on Aug. 31, 1879. He was buried in the Samville Ceme tery. His son, Peter, had the body moved to his plot in the Knights of Pythia s Cemetery in Elko about 1908."

Barbara married 1st John Campbell. They had four children: Mary Ann, Benjamin, Nathaniel, and Margarite Jane, born between 1818 and 1824 in Tatamagouche, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Death: Renon Wilkerson (Box 188, Mona, UT 84645) went to Spanish For k City records of deaths and found her death date in a book.

They were..., George Mattatall..., who settled where the village no w stands." (page 25) "With George Mattatall came also his mother, old Mrs. Mata tall, who had formerly been a nurse to Col. DesBarres in his boyhood days. O n one occasion, when he was Governor of Prince Edwarrd Island, she paid hi m a visit. He took her to Government House and showed her every kindness. Ther e were two George Matattalls, who were brothers. George the elder had been a so ldier, and after being absent in the wars, was given up for lost and, on his ret urn, he found another member of the fmaily, born after his departure, who bor e the same name. George the younger owned lot 30 West side the site of the pres ent village. In 1790 one George Mattatall removed to River John." (p. 27) (We don't know how this fits in yet. J.
