HISTORY: Urban Van Stewart was born in Overton County, Tennessee, Novembe
r 9, 1817, a son of William and Elizabeth (Van Hooser) Stewart. Urban Va
n Stewart arrived in Utah in September, 1847, coming by wagon train and b
ringing with him provisions for eighteen months as well as farm machinery
. He was at the time a married man and in all acquired five wives and bec
ame the father of thirty-three children, but while he lived in polygamy f
or many years after that institution was abolished and made unlawful, h
e was never molested by the authorities, chiefly because of his high char
acter and upright life. His fourth wife, Ellen Adams Stewart, the mothe
r of John Riley Stewart, was of Red Point, Northumberland, Pa., and a dau
ghter of David Barclay and Mary (Cook) Adams, natives of Scotland, wher
e Mr. Adams learned the trade of iron worker. Mrs. Adams died on the stea
mboat Mary on the Missouri River, and Mr. Adams came to Utah and followe
d his trade at Cedar City and Adamsville, the latter place being named i
n his honor. For his second wife he married Lydia Catherine Mann, and die
d August 4, 1881, after which his second wife came to Wayne County. Urba
n Van Stewart first settled at Salt Lake City, but was later called to Pa
rowan to help of the community. Later he was a pioneer consecutively at B
eaver, Teasdale and Grover, and in 1885, at the time of the Crusade, leav
ing the others in other parts of the state, where he had provided them wi
th good homes. He was a big stockman and promoter of things worthwhile a
t Beaver and elsewhere, and at Beaver was an important factor in the coop
erative cattle and sheep organizations. He held several priesthoods and w
as presiding elder for seven or eight years at Grover, where his death oc
curred.

1 - p.472 The third expedition against Indians under the authority of th
e "State of Deseret" was to the northward, the Shoshones or Snakes bein
g the cause of the alarm. The trouble arose in the month of September, 1
850. As reported in the Deseret News, the treatment of the Indians by th
e emigrants of 1849, and later the killing of two Shoshone women by trave
lers, "as we are creditably informed, from Illinois," says the Deseret Ne
ws article, had wrought a very marked change in the disposition of the no
rthern Indians towards the white settlers in the Salt Lake region, than w
as at first manifested. They had become predatory in their action, and i
n the northern settlements on the Weber and Ogden rivers, had taken to pa
sturing their horses in the grain fields, stealing corn and melons, runni
ng off cattle, stealing horses, etc., etc., until their actions had becom
e insufferable. In one of the Indian night raids upon the gardens in Bro
wnsville [i. e. Ogden], a settler of the name of Urban Van Stewart, fire
d upon them and killed an Indian, said to be a petty chief. The next da
y the Indians in retaliation killed a man of the name of Campbell, some d
istance from the settlement on the north bank of Ogden river, and threate
ned to massacre the inhabitants of Brownsville, and burn the place.
The matter was reported at Salt Lake and a detachment of the state militi
a was dispatched under command of Horace S. Eldredge, with instructions t
o "stand on the defensive." Upon this show of force and promptness of ac
tion the Shoshones moved northward, taking with them some horses and catt
le belonging to the settlement. A band of Ute Indians from the south wer
e near Brownsville and to make sure of their non-interference if a battl
e took place, a number of them, without resistance were taken prisoners a
nd held as hostages for the good behavior of the band who were ordered t
o move south to their own lands, and have nothing further to do with th
e future movements of the Shoshones--orders which they obeyed. The preda
tory band of Shoshones moved so far northward that fear of further hostil
ities no longer existed, and after about a week's absence from Salt Lake
, the militia under Eldridge returned.

n Van, a Utah pioneer of 1847, was born Nov. 9, 1817, in Overton county
, Tennessee, the son of Wm. Stewart and Elizabeth Van Hooser. When five y
ears of age he moved with his parents to Madison county, Illinois, wher
e he lived till 1835, when he went to Missouri, where he, as a convert t
o "Mormonism," was baptized July 15, 1836, by Seymour Brunson in Log Cree
k, near Far West, Missouri. He was married in the same place to Lydia Gag
e Jacobs in 1837. At this time the mob was very hostile and by the advic
e of the Prophet Joseph Smith [p. 527] the family moved into Far West whe
re Bro. Stewart stood guard during those troublous times. In the early sp
ring of 1839 he moved to Quincy, Illinois, and in 1840 he located on Suga
r Creek, Iowa, where his house and nearly everything he had was destroye
d by fire. In the spring of 1841 he moved to Nauvoo, working much of th
e time on the Nauvoo Temple until 1843, when he and his brother Levi wer
e called on a mission to southern Illinois, but were recalled shortly aft
er on account of the death of their mother and Urban's little son Henry
. He took part in the trials incident to those times in and around Nauvoo
, and besides his labors on the public works he spent much time on guar
d duty. In 1845 he was ordained a Seventy by Daniel S. Miles and at the t
ime of the exodus in 1846 he traveled west and located temporarily with h
is co-religionists at Winter Quarters on the west bank of the Missouri ri
ver. He went up the river to what was called "Brigham's Farm" and helpe
d to put in crops, and in June, 1847, he left for Great Salt Lake Valley
, where he arrived in September, 1847, bringing provisions for eighteen m
onths, together with farming tools and other articles in one wagon. Bro
. Stewart took part in the White Mountain Mission and helped to put in cr
ops in Clover Valley, now in Nevada, which place afterwards was given u
p to the Indians. Bro. Stewart endured the hardships incident to the earl
y settlement of Utah uncomplainingly and frequently subsisted on roots an
d whatever could be obtained to keep himself and family alive. He was on
e of the pioneers of Beaver, Utah, where he resided for a great many year
s, taking a most active part in establishing the institutions of that pla
ce. Subsequently he moved to Wayne county and became a resident of Grover
, where he acted as presiding Elder and where he died Dec. 25, 1898, eigh
ty-one years old. Bro. Stewart had five families and was the father of th
irty-three children, twenty-four of whom survived him. At the time of hi
s demise he also had seventy-four grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildr
en and a number of great-great-grandchildren. By his first wife, Lydia Ga
tes Jacobs, he had three children, namely, Edna, Henry and Urban Jacobs
. By his second wife, Elizabeth Luck, whom he married May 21, 1854, he be
came the father of six children, namely, Van, Levi, Elizabeth, Rosanna E.
, Sarah V. and Eunice A. By his third wife, Mary Ann Jones (daughter of W
illiam E. and Mary Jones), whom he married March 11, 1860, he became th
e father of ten children, namely, Mary Jane, Liza Ann, Martha Ellen, Will
iam Urban, Daniel Jones, Margaret Caroline, Robert Charles, George Heber
, Lewis Jenkins and Clara Bell. By his fourth wife, Ellen Adams (daughte
r of David R. Adams and Mary Cook), to whom he was married July 14, 1865
, he became the father of ten children, namely, Mary Ellen, David James
, Urban Van, John Riley, Lydia Catherine, Andrew Adams, Rosa May, Levi, E
ffie Elizabeth and Walter Ernest. By his fifth wife, Keziah Jones (daught
er of William and Mary Jones), whom he married July 16, 1855, he became t
he father of three children, namely, Margaret, Edward and Susan. Bro. Ste
wart and his wife Elizabeth Luck also adopted one child, a boy, named Jos
eph Stewart. Bro. Stewart was a man of stirling qualities, a strict obser
ver of the Word of Wisdom and a faithful Latter-day Saint.
