Dear Ms. Nebeker,
I recently read a post you wrote in August of 06,
wherein you assert that you are a descendant of the
missing child of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. You
may be aware of Anna Jean Backus' book 'Mountain
Meadows Witness', wherein she makes a similar
assertion with respect to her own ancestry. Anna and I
share the same gg grandfather Philip Klingensmith, the
Mormon Bishop of Cedar City, Utah in 1857. He was a
participant in the massacre.
I'm curious if you are related to Anna Jean. I've read
her book and have written one of my own about the
massacre titled 'WHITE FLAG: America's First 9/11'
I've never been able to arrive at the same conclusion
Anna Jean arrives at with respect to her lineage.
However, I do believe that my gg grandfather may have
raised one of the surviving children who would not, in
that case, have been returned to Arkansas. I would be
most interested in your thoughts regarding these
events and how they effect your ancestry.
Sincerely,
Wayne
