History - Ebenezer moved along with the Saints from place to place. He was a bodyguard to the Prophet Joseph Smith. At the time of Haun’s Mill Massacre, he was sent with another man to Haun’s Mill to get Joseph Young’s family. Ebenezer was shot through the chest. The bullet went through his body and lodged in his back just under the skin. His companion cut it out with a knife, and through their faith, they were able to go on their way. . The family moved from String Prairie to Galina and then to Nauvoo. In 1844 Lowly, Ebenezer’s mother died of chill fever and was buried in Nauvoo. They were driven from Nauvoo eventually, and we find Ebenezer and families in Council Bluffs, Iowa, at winter quarters in 1846. Here Angeline gave birth to a little daughter, Lola, and in 1848 to another daughter Jane. Both of these little girls died in 1848 and are buried in the Council Bluffs, Iowa cemetery. Here Ebenezer married as his third wife, Phoebe Wooster Child, a beautiful girl and sister to Polly Ann. A little son, Alfred Bosworth, was born to Polly Ann and also was buried in Council Bluffs beside little Jane and Lola. In 1849 Phoebe’s first baby, Amanda Melvina, was born, and she felt favored of Heaven in being able to keep her. This was to be her only girl, for in due time she became the mother of ten more children, all boys, and raised all but John Lawson, who died when three years old. Polly Ann was the mother of five boys and one girl. She raised four to adulthood. Angeline became the mother of twelve children, raising eight to adulthood.
