Baptised into the Church of Jesus Christ of

Became one of the twelve apostles, 1835, and later

in 1847 founded the State of Deseret, which became
Utah Territory in 1850. He was appointed governor

There is a legend in the family that we are descended
from Josiah, but I have not been able to show any
connection. Josiah Bartlett was very famous in the
19th century, perhaps as famous as John Hancock. It
appears to have been common for any family with Bartlett
relatives to claim descent from Josiah, much as a family
today with Hancock connections might claim descent from
John. The only Bartlett I have found is Silence Bartlett.
I'd surely like some help here.

14th President of the United States.
There is a family legend that we are related to
Franklin Pierce through the Merchant family. I never
paid much attention to this theory until I was contacted
by another Merchant descendant, on a line unknown to me,
who had also heard the same legend. I would be very
interested in any information connecting Franklin Pierce
to the Merchant family. Lots more information on Franklin Pierce.
I am not making this up. See New England Historic
Genealogy Register vol. 76, page A-xxxv Proceedings
of 1922. Not famous, not a relative, but who could
resist the name? I hereby stake claim to the
unofficial, indoor record for the longest unpunctuated
first name.
