Notes:

All validating baptisms and endowments for this family
are now in the IGI as are most sealing ordinances. Other slg information is
in the G.F.Tate FGSheet for Stephen Longstroth distributed at the 1985 Richards
Family Reunion.
It is anticipated that it will be microfilmed as
part of the Ancestral File diskette submission.
Another primary source is STEPHEN LONGSTROTH AND HIS FATHERS, G.F.Tate 1979/80,
FHL 1033523 Item 5
This document of about 80 pages comprises
a collection of information and documents pertaining to Stephen Longstroth
(1789) his children and ancestors, a biography of Stephen and Ann by Leo W.
Goates (amended), a biography of their daughter, Nanny (amended) and a valuable
collection of recently discovered letters from Stephen and Ann to relatives in
England (1838-1854).
Some early Family Group Sheets showed a George Robinson Longstroth as a member
of this family. There were actually two of them - but sons of Stephen's
brother, Thomas (1824-1827 and 1828-1833). Both died in infancy.
LANGSTROTH is the spelling used in many English Records for this family.
However, LONGSTROTH is the accepted spelling used in America and on LDS
records.

Stephen married Gill, Ann 3 Jun 1815, Arncliffe, Yorkshire, Eng.. Ann was born 3 Aug 1795, Arncliffe, Yorkshire, Eng.; was christened 8 Aug 1795, Arncliffe, Yorkshire, Eng.; died 27 Jan 1878, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah; was buried 29 Jan 1878, City Cem., Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Some FGSheets show Ann's LDS baptism as 4 Mar l838, the same as her husband's,
This was removed from the IGI as there was evidence that she was baptized later
in the year, after Willard Richards returned from Bedford (p 201 and 203 of
INTIMATE DISCIPLE). We retained the 1838 year date for historical reasons but
the proxy baptism for her on 8 Oct 1918 is the one considered valid for LDS
purposes. (Ref G.F.Tate letter l6 Nov 1981 to H.E.Christiansen, Temple
Ordinance Coordinator, and his reply on 18 Dec 1981 - G.F.Tate, Gill records.
With reference to Ann's endowment, she (and her daughter Nanny) were among
those who received her W&A in the NV Temple on 24 Jan 1846 but for whom there
was no record of going through the veil. For that reason the 10 Jun 1921
proxy record was accepted as valid as was her sealing to parents 30 Apr 1969LG.
(Same correspondence record as for bapt. Info was entered into the 1984 IGI).
(But there are earlier slgs to parets including 16 Aug 1907SL).
