History of Sarah Reasor Pectol, Contributed By: ArleneAdams 6- 29 January 2016

Sarah Reasor, daughter of Frederick Reasor and Sarah Kester was born April 8, 1810, in Shelby County, Kentucky, and died January 7, 1861, in Manti, Utah. She moved with her father and family from Kentucky to Floyd County, Indiana, November 2, 1828 [age 17].

Sarah married George Pectol, son of Peter Pectol and Elizabeth Lidica (lidicay) on Nov 2 1828 in Floyd, Indiana USA. The ceremony was performed by the bride's father, who was a Baptist minister. George Pectol was born December 17, 1805, in Sullivan County, Tennessee. He moved to Floyd County, Indiana, where he met and married Sarah Reasor. For the next five years they lived in Indiana, and they then moved to Madison County, Missouri, where George Pectol owned and ran a store. While running the store, George Pectol secured a copy of the Book of Mormon and became interested in Mormonism. He and his wife made a trip to Nauvoo, Illinois. On March 29, 1846, they heard Elder Serine preach the Gospel and both were baptized in the Mississippi River with many others. On March 31, 1846, they started for home and on the way became acquainted with Augustine Fordham, a Mormon elder, who induced George Pectol to be ordained a Mormon elder at St. Louis, Missouri. From St. Louis, George Pectol and his wife took a boat to St. Genevieve, Missouri. From there they walked to their home in Missouri, and he preached the gospel but did not disclose to his neighbors that he was a Mormon. However later, it became known that he was a Mormon and persecution began. In 1848, they decided to leave Madison County, Missouri. The night before they left they held a meeting at their home, which was largely attended. A mob of eight, led by Henry Shock, a former friend, hid in a thicket nearby and intended to horsewhip George Pectol after the meeting was over; but seeing the Pectols had so many friends, they did not molest them. The Pectols moved to Jackson County, Missouri, baptizing William Thomas Carrell, a son-in-law [husband of oldest daughter Dorothy], on the way. There was considerable persecution in Jackson County, and the Pectols moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where they remained until June 2, 1850, at which time they started for Utah in company with 100 wagons and ox teams. They arrived in Salt Lake City on August 26, 1850, and moved south to Manti, Utah, arriving there September 6, 1850. Many cases of healing occurred on this trip. The first winter in Manti they lived in a dugout and were bothered with snakes in the spring. In May 1851, according to an engraving on the fireplace, they completed a comfortable home. George Pectol was the first city clerk of Manti and a member of the first high council. He won a first prize for having the finest field of grain in that part of Utah. President Brigham Young called him to take charge of the Experiment Station at St. George, Utah, by reason of his ability and experience as a cotton grower. George Pectol made the headstone that marks the grave of Sarah Reasor at Manti. Sarah Reasor was an industrious and ambitious woman who raised a successful family. After her death on January 7, 1861, George Pectol moved to Washington, Utah, where he married a second wife, a Mrs. Blazzard with whom he lived until his death on September 28, 1869. Dale, F. Hiner.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE REASOR FAMILY

Progenitors of Sarah Reasor In the year of 1653 three brothers, Wellington, William, and George Reasor left their ancestral home in Bern, Switzerland and traveled to Portsmouth England, where they became passengers on the good ship “John & Thomas” and sailed to America. They arrived safely and landed in Jamestown, Virginia. Each of the three brothers received grants of land in Virginia, upon which they settled and carved a home in the wilderness. Wellington Reasor, whose descendants this history concerns, married and had a son named Virginia. Virginia married and had a son named Michael, who was born in 1735. Michael was of an adventurous nature and served in Dunmore’s war in 1774. Lord Dunmore, born in Scotland in 1732 had come to the colonies and had been named Governor of New York in 1770. In 1771, he was made Governor of Virginia and in 1774, he led a campaign against the Ohio Indians. This campaign is known in history as Dunmore’s War. For his services in this war, Michael Reasor, Sr., received a warrant for fifty acres of land in Virginia. Michael Reasor, Sr. lived at Winchester, Frederick Co., Virginia. From there he moved to Augusta County, thence to Washington County, where he took up 112 acres of land on O’Possum Creek. On April 29, 1777, Michael Reasor, Sr. was appointed Administrator of the Estate of Jon *** in Washington County. He died at the age of 94 in Washington County, Virginia. Only two sons of Michael Reasor Sr. are mentioned, Michael Jr. and Frederick. On February 3rd 1760 Michael Reasor Jr. was born at Winchester, Virginia. On May 1, 1777, Michael Reasor enlisted as a fifer in Captain Gilkason’s Company of Colonel Kennedy’s Virginia Regiment, under General George Washington and marched through Maryland to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In January 1779 he was discharged at Philadelphia. Then Michael Reasor and his brother Frederick had a ship fitted out and sailed for Germany, and obtained a cargo of one half million dollars worth of leather goods for the Revolutionary army. Upon their return voyage a violent storm arose and disabled their ship. The Reasor brothers were rescued by a passing Scotch vessel, and they were landed in Philadelphia, without a dollar. Their ship and its cargo was abandoned to the waves of the ocean. Back on American soil and penniless, Michael Reasor reenlisted in the Revolutionary war under George Washington at Winchester, Virginia, in April, 1781, in Captain William Frost’s Virginia Company. He was present when Cornwallis surrendered his sword to George Washington. For his services in the Revolutionary army, Michael was granted a pension of sixty dollars per year on his application S.16514 dated Sept. 10,1832, which became effective as of March 4, 1831. His pension certificate was numbered 6580. His pension was discontinued on March 4,1843 for the reason that he had acquired land to such an extent, that under the law a pension could no longer be paid. By reason of his services in the Revolutionary war, all of his male descendants are eligible for membership in that patriotic society known as the “Sons of the American Revolution”, and all his female descendants are eligible for membership in the “Daughters of the American Revolution.” On March 12, 1843, Michael Reasor certified to the War Department that he had resided in Spencer County, Kentucky, formerly a part of Shelby County Kentucky, for forty years and that prior thereto he had resided at Winchester, Virginia. Soon after Michael Reasor was discharged from the Army of the Revolution the second time, and on Feb. 27, 1782, at Winchester Virginia, he married Anna Herbert, who was born in New Jersey, Sept. 1, 1760. Her father, Thomas Herbert, was born in Germany in 1730. On June 11, 1843 Michael Reasor died in his home at Little Mount, Spencer County, Kentucky, and he is buried in Little Mount cemetery. Anna Herbert died at Little Mount July 5th, 1847, and is buried beside her husband. They were cared for in their declining years by their son, James Reasor, who lived on the home place with them. After their Marriage, Michael and his wife Anna Herbert, resided at Winchester, Virginia, until 1797, at which time they had seven children. They then immigrated to what is now Spencer County, Kentucky, and settled on land at Little Mount, where they resided until the time of their death.
