| 8851 | Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 The Sheep Industry in Early Utah John Edward Ingram, Sheepman Emigrant's Guide John Edward Ingrain was the son of John and Harriet Hall Ingram, whowerepioneers of 1862. They settled in the southwest part of Nephiwhere thefather built a little two-room adobe house. As a boy John wasvery fondof the beautiful mountains around his home where he herdedcows. Johnalways seemed to sense responsibility and wanted to help hisparents.When he was sixteen years of age he went to work for W. I.Brown. Hechopped wood, carried water, fed horses, washed dishes anddid otherchores, for a buckskin shirt and a pony. He worked two orthree yearsherding sheep for Brown and later herded for Joseph andWilliam Wright,who paid part of his wages with sheep, which at thattime were worth adollar and a half per head. John, his older brother,Albert, and ayounger brother Alvin, formed a partnership. By the timeJohn wastwenty-one years of age, they had five hundred head which theydividedbetween them. John herded his sheep on the nearby hills, thenlaterbought five acres of land in the south field and four acres ablock southof his home, where he raised feed for his flock. Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 The Sheep Industry in Early Utah John Edward Ingram, Sheepman Emigrant's Guide His older brother became ill and John bought his sheep. Laterhepurchased Alvin's sheep. At this time the men were allowed to runtheirflocks on the desert of southern Utah. John did not own very manyhorses,so they had to walk and herd the sheep without dogs to aidthem. Helambed his sheep on the hills near his home. He was unable tohire helpso his wife took their six-month-old baby and camped in atent on RockyRidge, which was about five miles up Salt Creek Canyon.Their foodconsisted mainly of salt pork, dried apples, beans andsourdough bread.In the winter they would cook a large kettle of beansand hang it outsideand let them freeze, then take a few out and warmthem as they wereneeded for food. Some Icelandic men and women fromSpanish Fork shearedthe sheep for them. Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 The Sheep Industry in Early Utah John Edward Ingram, Sheepman Emigrant's Guide John had a very harrowing experience. He was coming down Nebo Creekandstopped to let his horse drink, when a cougar leaped from a cliffontohis horse. It startled the horse so it jumped across the creek andthecougar fell off, scratching the horse's back as it fell. The horsewaswild with pain and ran a long way before it finally stopped, butitprobably saved them both from being killed. Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 The Sheep Industry in Early Utah John Edward Ingram, Sheepman Emigrant's Guide As time went on John prospered and at one time was the owner offivethousand head of sheep. He was then able to hire sheepherders andgetsome good sheep dogs. He loved the mountains very much and spentall thetime he could with the sheep. Merino, Cotswold and Lincolnsheep were thebreeds he raised. In the summer the flocks were taken toWater Hollow inthe Sanpete Mountains; later to Strawberry. While onthe SanpeteMountains, the sheep ate some poison plant and sevenhundred of themdied. Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 The Sheep Industry in Early Utah John Edward Ingram, Sheepman Emigrant's Guide After the government divided the forest, permits were issued tothesheepmen June 4, 1897. John was issued one for the Uintah Forest.Hebought some ground in the Avintiquin Mountains and took his sheepthereto lamb in the spring of the year. In May 1920, they were in asnowstormand suffered the loss of nearly half his flock. John Edwardand his wifewere the parents of twelve children and also raised threeof theirgrandchildren when their daughter, age twenty-two, died. Ashis boys grewolder they helped their father with the sheep. He boughta ranch at FourMile Creek which his son, Leo Ingram owns. Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 The Sheep Industry in Early Utah John Edward Ingram, Sheepman Emigrant's Guide In 1902 he was given a permit on the Uintah National Forest and ranhissheep on the beautiful Wasatch Mountains. As a child I remembergoing tothe sheep camp for several weeks during the summer. He alwayssaid youwere closer to God in the mountains. He withstood the ups anddowns ofdepression years, sometimes only getting five cents a poundfor wool;other years he would receive seventy-five cents a pound. Thenagain itwould sell for twenty cents a pound so there was quite a loss.Thedeserts were later proportioned out in permits and some of the menwerenot allowed to take many sheep on their permits, thus they had tocutdown on the size of their flocks. Some of the herders who workedfor himwere George I. Goble (his son-in-law), William Goble, and Davidand JamesBird. He was a sheepman for over sixty-seven years, takingthe bad yearsas well as the good ones. He was liberal with his money,always helpinghis family, and was never known to turn down a donationfor a worthycause. Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 9 The Sheep Industry in Early Utah John Edward Ingram, Sheepman Emigrant's Guide On September 17, 1939, while with the sheep in the Wasatch MountainsMr.Ingram became very ill. His son Clarence was with him and managedto gethim down the mountain and into the canyon of the White River,where hisfather became much worse. His son laid him on a saddleblanket on theground and he died about an hour later in the mountainsthat he loved.

| 8866 | Parents are unknown. Email from Thomas Loyd Waldrop, 2005 - William's death and burial location was written and handed down from various family members. It is believed to be accurate. His date of birth is based on census information. At that time period 1775-1800, there were numerous William Waldrops and Nancy Waldrops. There are numerous errors in people's data bases with the incorrect William married to the incorrect Nancy. ********** 1800 - Age 20. Probably still living at home. Note that the William in the 1800 Laurens Co., SC census is a different William. 1810 - Laurens Co., SC census. 1m 26/45, 2f u/10, 1f 26/45. "William Waldrop" (Note that the older woman was born between 1765 and 1784, whereas Nancy was born abt 1789 or 1793 and Dicey was born 1775. 1820 - Jasper Co., GA census. 3m u/10, 1m 26/45, 2f 10/16, 1f 26/45.

This was Dicey.--jd) 1836 - Fayette Co., GA. Shiloh Church meeting minutes state that Edward S. Duke (bro-in-law of Nancy Waldrop, b. 1793--jd) accused Lucinda Waldrop(daughter of William, b. 1780--jd) of unlawful intimacy with her Uncle John Waldrop (Brother of Nancy, b. 1793--jd). He later recanted. 1836 - Giles Co., TN. Legend - William's son, David, went to the Lynville area of Giles Co. (then Maury Co.) and was later joined by his father and two brothers. 1839 --- Putnam Co., GA. Dist. 9, page 135. Charles F. McDonald, Governor, etc. of GA granted William Waldrop 490 acres in Appling County, 9th District, Lot 164 on 19 Nov 1839. [It looks like William didn't receive title to the land until he was ready to sell it. He paid taxes on this land 12 years earlier in Fayette Co., GA according to the Tax List.-CW] Actual Text - Copy of original document in file.-CW State of Georgia. By His Excellency Charles F. McDonald Governor and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of this State, and of the Militia thereof. To all to whom these presents shall come, Greetings: Know ye, That in pursuance of the several acts of the General Assembly of this state, passed the 15th day of December 1818, and the 16th day of December 1819, for making distribution of the land lately acquired of the Creek and Cherokee Nations of Indians, and forming the Counties of Early, Irwin, Appling, Walton, Gwinnett, Hall, Habersham and Rabun, in this State, I have given and granted, and by these presents in the name and behalf of this State, Do give and grant unto William Waldrope of Moreland's District, Putnam county his heirs and assigns forever, all that tract or lot of land containing four hundred and ninety acres, situate, lying and being in the ninth district Appling county in the said State, which said tract or lot of land is known and distinguished in the plan of said district by the Number One hundred and sixty four having such shape, form and marks as appear by a plat of the same hereunto annexed; To have and to hold the said tract or lot of land, together with all and singular the rights, members and appurtenances thereof, whatsoever, unto the said William Waldrope his heirs and assigns, to his and their own proper use, benefit and behoof forever in fee simple. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the said State, this the nineteenth day of November in the year eighteen hundred and thirty nine and in the Independence of the United States of America the 64th. Signed by his Excellency the Governor, the Charles J. McDonald. 19th day of November 1839. E. A. Glascocke S.E.D. Registered the nineteenth day of November 1839. 1840 - Giles Co., TN census. 1m 20/30, 1m 60/70, 1f 60/70 "W.Waldrop" (Note that the older woman was born between 1770-1780. This was Dicey.--jd) In the same census of Giles Co. is Elisha Waldrop, grandson of James and Mary (Henderson) Waldrop and son of Elisha Waldrop, Sr.. 1850 - Giles Co., TN census. Wm. age 50, b. SC; Dicey age 75, b. SC "William Waldroup" 1860 Giles Co., TN census. William and Dicey missing. Burial at Waldrop Cemetery, located at Hwy., 31N, on the Maury Co. line. Cemetery is divided by the highway. The 1820 census of Jasper Co., GA shows the wife of William Waldrop, b. 1780, was between 26 and 45. This description fits both Nancy and Dicey; However, the age spacing of William's children suggests that Nancy was the wife in the 1820 census. ********** U.V. Waldrop has this man named William "Elijah" Waldrop who m. Nancy Waldrop b. 1793 daughter of James Waldrop and Mary Morrison. He also lists Lucinda b. 1808 m. Benjamin Wood as child of William and Nancy Waldrop, but not Nancy Waldrop m. Jesse Duke. ********** Email from Thomas Loyd Waldrop, 2005 - William Waldrop had three wives based on advanced research by people better than I am. According to a compilation of census reports, William had three wives and seven children. The first wife is currently unknown. Census shows there were two daughters, first born c1804, second Lucinda born c1808, married Benjamin Wood on Apr 7, 1831, Jasper, GA. No further information on the couple. The second wife, Nancy Waldrop, daughter of James & Mary (Morrison) Waldrop, Jr., (no relation), is documented. She had the three sons and two daughters, born c1821 and c1825. There is reference somewhere she died between 1825-30. The third wife, Dicey?, is believed to be a Compton, born c1775. One thought is she may have been a Bray, married a Compton, widowed, then married William after 1825. Both Bray and Compton names are associated with her. The last two daughters are believed to be Nancy's due to Nancy and Dicey's ages. Died between 1850-1860. No further known information about her. Burial unknown. There was a written reference of one of my great-aunts recalling a conversation with or about Andrew J. and Eugenia K. (Compton) Waldrop that she was the second Compton in the family, or something to that effect, referring to his grandfather's wife. There is currently no information on the three unknown daughters. They disappear off the 1840 Giles Co, TN, census. Email from Thomas Loyd Waldrop, 2005 - There were about 4-5 William Waldrops and Nancy Waldrops during that time period and in that area of the country which makes it pretty hard to figure out. Since James Jr was living in Laurens Co, SC, at the time, his daughter is assumed to have been born there and or married to William there. ********** It is the opinion of David Smith of Wheaton, IL that William, b. 1780, was a brother of Matthew Waldrop (b. c1774 Laurens Co., SC; d. aft. 1860 in Haralson Co., GA). If so, he may be the son of James Waldrop, b. c1750, and Elizabeth of Laurens Co., SC. This would be circumstantial evidence only at this time. ********** Source of some data.
