(over) married (crossed out) I met some fine young fellows in in groups that was sent out to guard. Among them Peter Sutton the eldest brother of Ellen Siutton with whom I go acquainted and married 26 April 1858. She was a beautiful young woman, tall with dark brown hair and eyes. She had married a man, Charles McKetchney, who apostitized from the Church and went to California, and had a little girl Sarah Ellen b. 29 May 1853 in Salt Lake City. She was a very lovable child and lived with her grandmother Sutton most of the time. I forgot to say in the Fall of 1856, I went out to help those late handcart companys into the valley in, had a very hard time. In the month of Sep. 1858 Bp Hunter sent me with eight others out to meet Rawleys handcart Co. We met them at Harris Fork. They were out of flour and everything. With all, it was one of the plesantists trips I ever recolect having; dispite the fact I came nearly loosing my life by a party of Soldiers who followed us from fort Bridger a distance of 10 miles. They got in trouble with the Captain they were doing sonething he did not like so ordered them out of camp. They went on about a mile to a Saloon." This is evidently a journal of Samuel Linton in part. (Research):married previously to Ch. McKechine References
