HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS OF THE CROSBY FAMILY OF
ST. GEORGE AND PANGUITCH, UTAH


Mormon Pioneers and Settlers of Southern Utah

Including a Brief History of the Rees Family of Sanpete County, Utah


The wife and children of Joshua Crosby joined the LDS Church at Portland, New York in the late 1830s, beginning with their youngest son, Jesse Wentworth Crosby. Members of the family became intimately involved in the settlement of Nauvoo, Illinois and many Utah communities including Salt Lake City, St. George and Panguitch. Ultimately Joshua joined his family in Utah almost three decades later. This site presents historical documents and essays on some of my paternal ancestors. A short history of my maternal ancestors, including the Rees, Edmunds and Lamb families of Wales, Utah is also included.
