Hannah Cluff

Please see the Media tab for more information about Hannah and her ancestry. I have added multiple documents with detailed information, including spreadsheets with the requested information on ancestral immigration from England. There is even a line that leads to a royal connection in both France and England. All of this is documented in Ancestry.com under the Johnston Family tree, and I am slowly adding all of the information to her tree in Geni as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email to tammygjohnston@gmail.com. Enjoy!

HANNAH GARLICK HATCH CLUFF SHEPHERD 1818-1892 By Alice Shepherd Poynor, granddaughter

Hannah Garlick was born 1st of June 1818, on a farm in Providence, Pennsylvania, to David and Elizabeth Buck Garlick, daughter of Catherine Cashman and David Buck. Her father and his brother, Adam Garlick, were partners in a saw mill. They owned a farm worth about $5,000.

Hannah, being the oldest of seven children, the four oldest girls, it was necessary to help in the house and out on the farm. These people worked hard but enjoyed life in a good community. One evening Hannah and her sister Susan went to the woods to get the cows. They heard some wild pigs coming so they climbed up a tree for safety. The pigs came to the tree where the girls were and stayed. The girls had to stay in the tree all night. Their parents were worried and tried to find them, but it was morning before they located them. The searching party killed the pigs and took the girls home.

One night, Elizabeth Buck Garlick had a dream. She saw two men dressed in black suits and over their heads was a motto, “This is the truth.” This dream was so real that she told it to her family the next morning. About two weeks later as they were eating dinner, two men dressed in black suits came to the door. She said, “Those are the two men I saw in my dream.” The Gospel was explained to them and Elizabeth and two of her children were baptized. The neighbors turned against them and the mobs and bad treatment became so terrible that David decided to sell his farm and move away. He tried to sell his stock first but no one would give him a reasonable price for them. Finally, he sold his farm and all the livestock and equipment for $500.

They loaded all their belongings in a wagon and started for Missouri where the members of the Church [of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints] were. When they left Bedford County, Pennsylvania, David’s brother Adam rode a day’s journey with them. Not much was said as their feelings were very low. At parting, they just exchanged hats and each went their separate ways never to see each other again. When they had gone quite a way, they found that the Church had been driven out of Missouri and had settled in Nauvoo, Illinois. Hannah was with the Church at Far West, Missouri when they were driven out of that place.

When she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she worked in the home of Hyrum Smith when Joseph F. Smith was born. One morning she was dressing the baby when the Prophet came in. He said, Sister Hannah, let me show you how to put the band on the baby, babys don’t need too tight clothing. He showed her how. He said always put two fingers under the band and it will be alright. Hannah said she had never seen a more handsome man. When he was tarred and feathered Hannah and Susan helped to pick the tar and feathers out of his hair. His hair was a sandy red color. Grandmother said she was at the Bowery when Joseph’s mantle fell on Brigham Young. She said his voice sounded like Joseph Smith and he looked like him.

Hannah was married to Isaac Burrus Hatch while at Nauvoo, as his second wife, her sister Mary his first wife. Isaac B. Hatch was the son of Jacob Hatch. One night the mob came to Jacob’s home. Hannah was there. Jacob told his wife to sit over in the corner of the room away from the stray bullets of the mob. She stayed there for awhile, then she crept over to her husband, thinking she could help him load the guns. He thought she was one of the mob, as it was dark, he shot her and killed her. Grandmother Hannah was barefoot. She went to help her and stepped in the blood. She never forgot the terrible sickening feeling it gave her. Jacob Hatch lived to be one hundred and three years old, and he never got over killing his wife.

While at Nauvoo, David Garlick died leaving his wife with several children to care for. Her son Joseph Gaston was sixteen so they rented a farm and managed to live. They were in the exodus from Nauvoo, in the bitter winter of 1846, when the Church was driven out. They crossed the Mississippi River on the ice.

Elizabeth Buck Garlick came to Utah with her son in 1848. Hannah was in the exodus also. She lived at Charleston, Iowa, where her first son Hyrum was born 6th of March 1847. She then went to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where her second son Thaddius T. Hatch was born, 1 Jan 1850, at Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa. Her husband and 1st wife had already gone to Utah, when her baby was two years old her husband sent for her to come to Utah.

They lived in Salt Lake City, until her husband was killed by a man supposed to be his friend [Bill Hickman, see History of Isaac Burrus Hatch]. For a time she lived with her mother in San Pete County. She married second, David Cluff. She had a stillborn baby girl by Cluff. She was sealed to Cluff but that sealing was later canceled, and she married Moses Trader Shepherd and was sealed to him 13 December 1862. Two boys were born to this union, Joseph Garlick Shepherd born 31 July 1857, at Spanish Fork, Utah Co., Utah, and Daniel Young Shepherd, born 10 February 1860. Hannah was Shepherd’s third wife. Daniel Young was born in Spring City, San Pete County. Moses Trader Shepherd died 19 September 1866, at Spanish Fork, Utah. This left Hannah with two boys to raise alone. Her two boys born to Hatch were ten and thirteen years old, they moved to Springville, Utah Co., Utah.

When her youngest boy Daniel was almost twenty years old he married a girl who lived in the neighborhood, Jane Hyde Clegg, whose father William Clegg was a poet. To this union four children were born, two boys, a girl and a boy. The mother died when the last child was born. This left the children with no one to care for them so Hannah moved with her son to take care of the children. The baby died in a few days. And the little girl two years later. This left the two oldest boys to care for. She took care of them until April of 1892 when her son married Elizabeth Eva Mosley.

Grandma Hannah died 5 June 1892, at Springville, Utah. She worked hard and had many trials but remained faithful to the end. She is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery at Springville.
