The Mormon Passage of George Darling Watt


"George D. Watt was a self-educated English convert with both unusual, for the time and place of frontier Utah, clerical skills and ambitions to improve his status. A man with intellectual pretensions, he had little formal training but a strong will, avid curiosity, and appetite for knowledge. Those traits made up for what he lacked in schooling and drew him into what served as intellectual circles among the Mormon elite and, later, to the church's disenchanted fringe. They also made him, for a time, essential to Brigham Young as a clerk and reporter but sent him into religious and social exile, due to a contest of wills with his employer that Watt had no chance of winning.

Reputed to have been the first of the many English converts to the LDS church, Watt's repeatedly demonstrated ability to learn quickly made him an early master of Pitman shorthand, just then coming into use. Employing this skill, he made two important contributions to Mormon literature: First, based on that shorthand, he, more than anyone, created the "Deseret Alphabet," which now is a curiosity but then was an innovation that, intended to create a unique Mormon orthography and pedagogy, stands well for the broad attempt to build in Utah the wholly self-sufficient culture of the Kingdom of God. Second, his efficient note taking allowed him to take down the sermons of Young and other church leaders and publish them in the Journal of Discourses, an indispensable historical record.

In addition, Watt learned, thought, and wrote about a variety of subjects, from horticulture to spiritualism, which helped define him as a resident Utah intellectual. He eventually left the Mormon Church, but the records of his domestic life before and after that decision provide a rich portrait of the working of polygamous households, particularly complicated ones in his case.
Despite his accomplishments, because of his potential, George Watt's story is at heart a tragedy. His breach with Brigham Young resulted in social isolation, poverty, and rejection by friends and associates. He never, though, lost his sense of independence or his avid mind. Whether facing an economic affront or pressing, in writing, his own conclusions about life and God, he engaged the challenge where he found it."

Elizabeth STANDISH (1510)

I was browsing this line last night and discovered a problem that I want to go back and address. Elizabeth's supposed dad, Roger is only seven years older than she is. That's a possible mistake.

Lucy Ann HAWS
Elijah HAWS

Mary BLOOD
Hannah SAWYER
Joshua SAWYER
Mary PRESCOTT
John PRESCOTT
Ralph PRESCOTT
Roger PRESCOTT

Gospatric, EARL
Ealdgyth, Princess of Northumberland

I checked the IGI. Almost everyone has made this same mistake. One listing put Elizabeth as Ralph STANDISH and Alice HARRINGTON's daughter. I'll leave my records to reflect this, but it probably needs to be verified.

There is some history about Sanford here on this page, though it is mainly regarding the Lewis line, which is not ours.
