William Derby Johnson Sr. had only one wife, Jane Cadwallader Brown. During this time in the history of the church men were often sealed, while living, to women who were dead. Also, men were sometimes sealed to women whose husbands refused to join the church and be sealed to them. In all the histories we have of William Derby Johnson Sr we know he only had one wife. I have deleted 29 "marriages" because they were sealings not marriages.

Life Story of William Derby Johnson Sr.
1824-1896 (71 Years)
William Derby Johnson was born 27 October 1824, in Pomfret township (near Fredonia), Chautauqua County, New York, a son of Ezekiel and Julia Hills Johnson. He was the fourteenth child born into that family of sixteen children. When the Mormon Church was founded in 1830, he was six years of age. Two years later, in the spring of 1832, his mother, Julia Hills Johnson, "left Pomfret with her family of fifteen children to join the Prophet Joseph Smith at Kirtland, Ohio, in defiance of the wishes of her absent husband, Ezekiel." Julia’s oldest son, Joel Hills Johnson, had already joined the Mormon Church and had been instrumental in his mother’s joining. At the time of her baptism, the Prophet laid his hands upon Julia’s head and gave her a blessing for bringing such a large family into the Church. Julia’s family, including her married children’s families, is represented as being one of the largest families ever to join the Church and move West. Ezekiel, her husband, never joined the Church. He remained quite bitter until the time of the martyrdom. The death of the Prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum Smith impressed Ezekiel as being so unjust that his feelings mellowed greatly toward the Mormons. He died in Nauvoo in 1848, as a result of a beating administered to him in reprisal of his defense of the saints in Nauvoo against mobs.
William Derby Johnson was baptized while the family was living in Kirtland, according to Church records, 9 April 1836, by Samuel Bent. They moved to Springfield, Illinois for several years before moving to Nauvoo.
They started west with the Exodus in 1846, but returned and came later in 1849. Because his father did not join the church at the time his mother did, there was quite a bit of confusion and difficulties in the home, and a large family to support.
On 9 November 1848, William Derby Johnson married Jane Cadwallader Brown, (born 5 June 1832 in Birmingham (southeast of Sandusky), Erie, Ohio the daughter of Abia William Brown and Abby Cadwallader), in Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois, where they remained until the exodus in 1849.
The family stopped in Kanesville, Iowa, (Council Bluff area) for several years before coming on to Utah. In 1848, he signed a petition in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, to secure a Post Office in that county. He served as deputy postmaster in Kanesville, as well as in Florence (now Omaha), Nebraska for a period of two years.
William was employed by his older brother, Joseph Ellis. Joseph Ellis Johnson owned and operated a general merchandise and drugstore along with his printing business in Kanesville. While he was away on pioneering explorations, business with the Indians, or other journeys, William was left in charge of sales and medicine making. From that time forward, wherever William Derby Johnson settled, he carried on with merchandising and the making of medicines with herbs; in Florence (now Omaha), Nebraska; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Johnson, Kane County.
Concerning his use of herbs for medicines, a granddaughter, Jane Cadwallader Johnson Parry, wrote of him many years later.
"My grandfather, William Derby Johnson, Sr., was a pharmacist and he made a medicine we called ‘essence of life.’ It was good for fevers, intestinal inflammation, etc. In fact, he told us it was a cure for cholera. He also made a stomach powder that was just wonderful and a salve we called ‘Johnson salve.’ Of course the recipes were kept very "hush-hush." I have the one for the salve. It is good, but it is hard to get the ingredients to make it with."
After arriving in Kanesville, Iowa, their first child, William Derby Johnson Jr., was born. Years later he wrote in his diary,
"April 1852 we moved to Traders Point, about six miles from Council Bluffs. I had small pox soon after we moved and came near dying. In April 1853 we moved to Council Bluffs. Early in the spring of 1855, my father went into the woods and cut his own timber and build a store one and one-half stories high; finished it in forepart of summer. Father had saved from his wages, (as clerk in Uncle Joseph’s Drug Store), $250.00 in cash; this he took to St. Louis and bought fancy notions, candy, etc., and got credit for $50.00 and commenced merchandising..."
William Derby Johnson Sr. tells of an interesting experience he encountered one day while hauling a load of merchandise for his store in Council Bluffs. As he traveled along at about midday, he came across a man walking along the road. William stopped and the man climbed up beside him. The stranger said to him, "You are planning on camping at this certain spot tonight." He then told William not to camp there as he had planned, but to change his camping plans as there would be Indian trouble that night... He also gave him some other advice. The stranger then got down from the wagon and bid him good day. William turned to the stranger to inquire his name, where he had come from, and where he was going, but to his amazement the man was nowhere to be seen. He had disappeared as suddenly as he had come. However, William followed the stranger’s advice and changed his camping place... He learned later that the immigrants who had camped there that night were all slaughtered by the Indians.
The Johnson’s second son, Elmer Wood Johnson, who was also born in Council Bluffs, 18 May 1854, gives the following account of their next move.
"We moved to Florence, Nebraska, when I was nearly two years of age. At that time our family consisted of Father, Mother, my brother, William Derby Jr., my baby sister, Jennie Ann and myself. My father kept a store there of general merchandise and we lived in a two-story house.
"In 1861 we crossed the plains with ox team with an emigrant train of Mormons. Cousin Sixtus Johnson, son of Uncle Joel Hills Johnson, was captain of the company. Father had a wagon with four head of oxen and another with two; also a wagon with two horses.
"Our group now consisted of Father, Mother, Willie, eleven years old, myself 7, Jennie 5, Julia 3, and Etta Elmera 1 year, Father’s widowed sister, Almera Barton and her three daughters, Della, Alvira, and Julia, and my Mother’s brother, Abia William Brown. The horse team wagon was occupied by my mother and the children. When camping they formed a half circle to the left and one to the right. In the center they would make a big fire and spend the evening holding meetings, singing, dancing and having an enjoyable time...
"My brother Willie drove one of the ox teams. He loved to read and would often ride along reading, paying no attention to the gait of the oxen until they would get far behind and father would send me back to punch them up so Willie could catch up with the company.
"We arrived in Salt Lake in the fall of 1861. Father bought a house on South Temple about the center of the present Union Pacific Depot. He improved the house and built onto the building until we had a six-room house, three rooms on the ground floor and three bedrooms upstairs. His store was in one of the lower rooms facing north. Our lot of one and one-fourth acres was all planted to orchard, berries, and garden. It was good to have fresh fruit and vegetables again.
"In November, 1870, we were advised by President Brigham Young to move to Southern Utah. My father’s family now consisted of myself, Jennie, Julia, Etta, Abia, Byron and Josey. My brother Willie was married and my sister, Nancy, who was born in Salt Lake City, had died in infancy. We lived that winter in the town of Washington, five miles from St. George and in the spring went to Kanab country and settled in what is now known as Johnson (previously called Hay Canyon). We built a four-room house and commenced tilling the soil. There we had numerous Indian troubles and they were so insulting we were advised to spend the following winter, 1872-1873 in Kanab. By spring the Indian trouble had settled down and it was apparently safe, so we moved back to Johnson.
"At Johnson, father built a house, adobe, four rooms above and five below, with a big porch and a store. Father always had a stock of goods on hand to sell. He had a shop where he made trunks, household furniture and harnesses. His motto was, "Always have something to sell and sooner or later someone will buy it."
From William Derby Johnson Jr’s. diary we read of this period.
"The last of April we moved all the folks to Johnson. We all worked hard, plowing, planting, etc., but in July the grasshoppers came and ate up nearly everything. Uncle Benjamin got discouraged and went back to Spring Lake. That left only Father, Nephi, and Sixtus to hold the place. On account of Indian uprisings and difficulties we were counseled to leave and move into the larger settlements. Therefore, we went to Kanab in September and got rooms in the old Fort."
Three other children were born to Jane and William while living in Johnson. They were Carlos Smith, Hannah Zelnora, and Lodemia Viola. Carlos and Lodemia both died in infancy and are buried in the Johnson cemetery.
W.D. and his family made many fine improvements in Johnson. They had a good garden, orchard, flowers, park, fishponds, and they raised chickens, ducks, and other farm animals. He was a very humble man and never wanted his good deeds to be talked about. He never wanted to be called upon to speak in Church. He was very strict about being on time, and was always in the lead when it came to helping with Church buildings. He stood five-feet-six inches tall, and weighed 160

Charles Sanborn Cram was born Sept. 10, 1823 at Meredith, New Hampshire. Part of his boyhood was spent in Boston and vicinity with which he became very familiar. In later life he took great delight narrating instances and describing places of note and interest. The woods of New England where wild game, nuts and berries were plentiful were his favorite haunts.
He belonged to a large family one brother being killed while in service during the Civil War. While yet a young man he heard the Gospel preached in his own home. His father and he accepted the same and were baptized. [sic]
About 1850 he married Eliza Prescott in New York to whom eight children were born. After making their home in the south for a number of years they came to Utah in 1861.
Being a successful contractor and builder he soon established himself in business after his arrival in Salt Lake City. The family was soon provided with what was considered in those days a very comfortable home. He also built several homes for prominent business men and other important buildings while here.
He was a close friend of President Brigham Young and the authorities of the church, often entertaining them in his own home.
Here he met Miss Margaret Smith who later became his plural wife. Four children blessed this union.
In 1873 having been called by President Young, he left to go to Arizona. The expedition was abandoned however on account of the Indian trouble and he met those returning at Johnson, Utah. Here the family remained for a short time locating in Stewart Canyon.
Having brought a number of cows and horses along dairying [sic] proved very successful, due to the excellent meadow land which was plentiful. In 1875 he moved to Kanab where he took an active part in helping to build up this southern country.
Not only in Kanab but also in Long Valley many may be seen yet.
He was one of the presidents of the eighty fifth quorum of Seventy organized in Kanab in 1885 being one of the most faithful in his labors.
About 1889 he moved to Provo, Utah in order to give his children the advantage of higher education and while there built an addition to the state mental hospital.
After returning to Kanab the family engaged in the dairy business as they had for many years at the ranch called Crocodile, deriving the name from an underground lake, the opening of which resembled a Crocodile's mouth.
He built a small boat which was lit by a pitch torch, where the young folks found entertainment by boat riding on the lake, picnicing etc. Many names and dates engraven [sic] on the walls of the cave may still be seen as souvenineers [sic] of the good old days.
He was a strict observer of the Word of Wisdom. As the following extract from a letter written by him to Geo. Cannon then editor of the Juvenile Instructor shows. Suggestions as to the best method of teaching observence [sic] to the Word of Wisdom to the Sunday School children were asked for in the Topic of the Times, an article in the Juvenile Instructor. He says: "Being desireous [sic] of aiding in so worthy a cause I will give you my experience: After joining the church and before emigrating to Utah my wife and I decided to leave all behind that had been forbidden for the use of man of the Lord.
I am now seventy five years old and have been in Utah forty years. I have never been layed [sic] up a day with sickness, am in good health and expect to live to a good old age if I continue to keep the Word of Wisdom. I believe and suggest that if Presidents of Stakes, bishops of wards presidents of quorums, high council men and leading elders of the church would stop using and selling those things which have been forbidden it would help in the good cause by setting worthy examples for the youth to follow."
Years later a similar suggestion was made by the church arthorities [sic] with special requests for those holding the priesthood to comply with the same.
Temple work received especial attention much time and means being spent therein. He having obtained many names (from a Mr. John G. Cram of Boston, Mass. who tho not a member of the church was engaged in gathering geneolagy [sic] of the Cram family) was able to spend his last days in temple work.
He died Nov. 10, 1904 of paralysis after but a few days illness, being stricken with the same after voting at the general election Nov. 8. He was 81 years and two months old at the time of his death and was buried in the Kanab cemetary [sic].

Written by Vada Beckstead 1965
Eliza Jane Prescott was born 16 May 1827, at Dover, Stafford County, New Hampshire. The daughter of Timothy Sanborn and Jane Hutchins (or Hutchings) Prescott. The Prescotts were descendants of early New England families who came from England between 1635 and 1650. They were scattered throughout the New England states. Her father was born in Orange, Vershire Co., Vermont. Her mother was born in Kittery, York County, Maine.
Next, we hear of her, she was living with Prescott relatives in Charlestown, Mass. Here she attended the elementary schools and entered a woman's finishing school where pastry baking and how to entertain were taught.
Eliza seems to have lived in a formal Military atmosphere. She had great respect for the French, and much less for the English as a result of the recent wars. It has been said she would "stand at attention", at the approach and passing of the U. S. flag or any military officer.
Eliza had clear blue eyes and light brown hair. Little is known at this time of her maternal parents. She was always been connected with the Prescotts.
On 10 April 1849 she was married to Charles Sanborn Cram, who was the son of Amos and Jane Sanborn Prescott Cram, her cousin. He was tall, dark and handsome, a builder of fine houses. They were married in New York City and went to Meredith, New Hampshire, the home of the Crams, who were also
descendants of Emigrants from England arriving in New Hampshire in 1635.
Charles was a convert to a new church, the very unpopular Mormons. He was told to choose between his family and "Joe Smith" which he did. His name is not mentioned with his father's family in the History of New Hampshire.
Being builders Eliza and Charles followed the migration westward and southward. Their children, eight of them, were born in six different states, from New Hampshire, to Alabama to Utah. The Charles S. Cram family arrived in Utah in the late spring of 1862. He built a very nice 2 story house on
the corner of 5th South and 1st West in Salt Lake City. They were members of the Seventh Ward, where much of their record is found. It is here that Charles took a 2nd wife. Eliza's hired girl who was a convert in Scotland.
Eliza was baptized in 1860, while they were living in Missouri preparing to move to Utah.
The frontier life, constant moving, the practice of pologamy [sic] were very hard on Eliza and she succumbed to a disease of the kidneys and heart in the fall of 1881 at Kanab, Kane County, Utah, where she and Charles are both buried.
