by: Clara Smith (Paulinus, Isaac, William, Thomas) In Tennessee, Isaac Allred married Mary Calvert two weeks after his 22nd birthday and four weeks before her 16th birthday. They remained in Bedford County until the first five children were born. They then moved to Nashville where five more children were born. They moved back to Bedford where Paulinus Harvey Allred was born. Then to Salt River in Monroe County, Missouri - Allred Settlement. Joseph and Isaac Morley were born here. On to Callwell County where Sidney Rigdon was born. While in Monroe County, they were taught of the restoration and Isaac and Mary and one or two daughters and William Moore were baptized. In 1833, Isaac noticed that 4 year old Paulinus Harvey's mouth would draw down to one side when he laughed. Through Priesthood powers, his mouth was normalized. Isaac's family went through all the trials of the early members. In 1842 they are members of 3rd Ward in Nauvoo. According to all history I can find Paulinus Harvey came to Salt Lake on July 24, 1847 with Brigham Young Company. In census taken in 1851, we find Isaac and family in Salt Lake. Mary Calvert died that year. In 1852, Isaac married Matilda Stewart Park. Paulinus Harvey is with them in South Cottonwood Ward. Paulinus Ward married on 3 Feb. 1848 Melissa Norton. She is a daughter of David Norton and Elizabeth Bennifield. Their first child was born 10 Jan 1849 in Salt Lake City. In 1852 we find Isaac, Paulinus and family in Kaysville. In 1858, anticipating Johnson's Army, President Young advised the Saints to move south. Isaac purchased land in Springtown, later Spring City. His sons, Reddick, Joseph, Sidney, Isaac M. and his brother, James, and his sons were located. Paulinus and Melissa stopped in Lehi. Here they raised their family. Things I have found recorded about Paulinus Harvey Allred: Paulinus Harvey could talk Indian language and helped quell Indians at West Mountains. He was known as Col. Harvey. He was a strong, well-built man, a wrestler and good jumper, farmer. He owned a home (adobe) on the land where the athletic field was located near the old high school. In 1861 Paulinus worked as alderman for Lehi. He was Colonel in the Nauvoo Legion and assisted in bringing immigrants to Utah. Paulinus Harvey Allred died 19 Nov 1900. His funeral was held at Lehi Tabernacle. He was honored by speakers as being an "honorable, upright man", endeared as a "true Latter Day Saint". He has a large posterity and is buried in Lehi Cemetery. |
