So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Just over the northern border of New York, a few miles across the St. Lawrence River into Ontario there is a small lake called Graham Lake. It can best be located by following Highway 81 from Syracuse, New York northward to the St. Lawrence River. Graham Lake is directly north across the border. It is about 180 miles east of Toronto. It was at the north end of Lake Graham, in a small settlement called Athens, Leeds, Ontario (earlier called Upper Canada) that Lucinda (known at first as "Little Christina") was born to Olive Lee just before Christmas on the 23rd of December, 1823.
Olive Lee married an Irishman later, who would not have the child. When "Little Christina" was about 2 1/2 years old, Olive gave her to William Austin and his wife, Agnes Nicol from Lanarkshire, Scotland. Agnes and William never had other children of their own. They had married a year before Olive's baby "Little Christina" was born, on January 1, 1822 at Hammond, St. Lawrence, New York, only a few miles away, across the border. They named "Little Christina" Lucinda.
William and Agnes Austin were converted and baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on June 1, 1838.
While a descendant of Lucinda's, Margaret Callahan Eckersley from near Ogden, Utah was preparing to do the temple work for her ancestors several years later, she met Agnes Austin Rampton, a daughter of William Austin in Idaho, who had letters from her father that stated "Lucinda Austin is my own child, I know it and God knows it." He requested that Olive Lee be sealed to him as wife and Lucinda be sealed as their child. This was done December 12, 1934 in the Salt Lake Temple with permission from the Austin family, by Margaret.
At about age 16 Lucinda married Thomas William Callahan. Thomas was an expert timberman. They had been baptized into the Church and joined with the saints. There were 4 children born through their marriage, their first, Alma Austin Callahan November 18, 1840 while they were living at Hammond, St. Lawrence, New York; their second, Andrew Nicol Callahan July 14th, 1843 at Nauvoo, Illinois; their third, Amasa Lyman Callahan January 30, 1845 at Nauvoo; and their fourth, Agnes Ann Callahan was born in a wagon box at Winter Quarters, Nebraska on December 3rd, 1846 as they were preparing to come west with the saints.
While they were at Nauvoo, the brother of her step-mother, Agnes Nicol came to Nauvoo and told Lucinda that her real father was a wealthy timberman from Canada by the name of Daniel Shipman. She believed it and thereafter Lucinda added the name Shipman. When a young girl she had worked for him.

While a descendant of Lucinda's, Margaret Callahan Eckersley from near Ogden, Utah was preparing to do the temple work for her ancestors several years later, she met Agnes Austin Rampton, a daughter of William Austin in Idaho, who had letters from her father that stated "Lucinda Austin is my own child, I know it and God knows it." He requested that Olive Lee be sealed to him as wife and Lucinda be sealed as their child. This was done December 12, 1934 in the Salt Lake Temple with permission from the Austin family, by Margaret.
At about age 16 Lucinda married Thomas William Callahan. Thomas was an expert timberman. They had been baptized into the Church and joined with the saints. There were 4 children born through their marriage, their first, Alma Austin Callahan November 18, 1840 while they were living at Hammond, St. Lawrence, New York; their second, Andrew Nicol Callahan July 14th, 1843 at Nauvoo, Illinois; their third, Amasa Lyman Callahan January 30, 1845 at Nauvoo; and their fourth, Agnes Ann Callahan was born in a wagon box at Winter Quarters, Nebraska on December 3rd, 1846 as they were preparing to come west with the saints.
While they were at Nauvoo, the brother of her step-mother, Agnes Nicol came to Nauvoo and told Lucinda that her real father was a wealthy timberman from Canada by the name of Daniel Shipman. She believed it and thereafter Lucinda added the name Shipman. When a young girl she had worked for him.
Lucinda had a patriarchal blessing by John Smith, brother to the Church Patriarch, Joseph Smith Sr. at Nauvoo on October 5, 1844. She listed her father as Daniel Shipman and her mother as Olive. Thomas and Lucinda were endowed in the Nauvoo Temple February 7, 1846.
On July 16, 1846 when the U.S. Government asked for 500 Mormon volunteers to help in the war against Mexico, Thomas William Callahan enlisted as Private #20 in Company B, under Captain Jesse D. Hunter at Council Bluffs, Iowa.
After her husband left with the Mormon Battalion, Lucinda came with the saints to Mt. Pisgah, Iowa, April, 1846. On December 3, 1846 in Winter Quarters, Nebraska, her fourth child, Agnes Ann Callahan was born.
On the 17th of May, 1848 Lucinda was given another patriarchal blessing in Winter Quarters by Isaac Morley. She listed her father again as Daniel Shipman and her mother as Olive Lee.
With 526 faithful saints, Lucinda and her children came west with the Captain Willard Richards Company and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on October 7th, 1848.
When others of the Mormon Battalion returned to their families, Thomas William Callahan was not with them. The Governor of California had asked for 100 men from the battalion to stay an additional year to garrison the post at San Diego. 50 of them remained. Thomas was among these. He enlisted for an additional 6 months under Captain Daniel Davis at what is now known as San Diego, California. While there they worked to build up San Diego by building, blacksmithing, and other trades. Some left on March 21, 1848, but others stayed and went up the coast to work at mining, ranching... and some with Captain John Sutter, where on January 24, 1848 Mormons working for him discovered gold nuggets. The gold rush was on. According to Margaret he worked in California 12 years before coming to Utah. According to Mrs. Wallace Rose from Bountiful, Utah (1963) he did not write or get in touch with Lucinda for 7 years. She thought he was dead.
Another member of the Mormon Battalion, a Private of Company E, Jonathan Campbell Jr. had also left his wife, Charity Fuller and children to serve. His wife died while he was gone. He came to the Salt Lake Valley with the first group from the battalion. He met Lucinda Callahan and after her husband did not return, they were married around 1849, with Brigham Young's permission and were sealed by him on September 15, 1852 in the President's Office. Jonathan was called to practice the law of polygamy. Upon advice from the Logan Temple President, Margaret Callahan Eckersley performed sealing work for the children of Lucinda and Thomas William Callahan, June 19, 1924 and November, 1931 in the Logan Temple, sealing their four children to Lucinda and Jonathan Campbell, Jr.
Some time after Thomas Callahan came to Salt Lake Valley, about 1865 he married Mary Ann Grover at Park Valley, Box Elder County, Utah. They had one son and later Thomas and Mary Ann were divorced. He died November 10th, 1889 in Park Valley, Box Elder county, Utah, a faithful member of the Church..
After their marriage, Jonathan Campbell Jr. and Lucinda were called by President Brigham Young to help settle North Ogden, Utah. When they first arrived they lived in a covered wagon until there was an Indian uprising. Jonathan was scouting the area and had left his family alone. During this time an Indian was killed in a nearby corn field. Lucinda harnessed horses and hitched them to the wagon and with her children, raced toward the Farr fort in Ogden. On the way she passed the corpse of her husband's father, John Campbell, who had been employed by Farr's mill. He had been killed by the Indians. Lucinda reached the fort just ahead of the Indians. The family stayed at the fort throughout the winter. Next spring, Jonathan and Lucinda moved with their family back to North Ogden where they built their home and helped build the community. There were eight children born of this marriage, four of whom lived.
On November 28, 1854 at North Ogden, Lucinda was given a third patriarchal blessing, this time again by Isaac Morley. She named her parents as Daniel Shipman and Olive. Lucinda was the first Relief Society President of North Ogden, organized January 7, 1868. She was a midwife and a faithful worker in the Church. She did much good among the sick and the needy.
Lucinda divorced Jonathan because of jealousy over another wife, Phoebe but later they were re-sealed in the Endowment House, March 11, 1872. (Jonathan had been given 7 wives).
Jonathan Campbell Jr. died November 24, 1886 in North Ogden. After his death, Lucinda joined her sons who had homesteaded land in Rosette, Box Elder County, Utah. While she was there Lucinda had two more patriarchal blessings. The first was on June 26, 1901 by John D. Burt. She listed her parents as Daniel and Olive Lee Shipman. The second was on April 11, 1905 in Park Valley, listing her name as Lucinda (Shipman) Austin Campbell, daughter of Daniel Shipman and Olive (Lee) Shipman. Lucinda died July 24th, 1906 at Rigby, Jefferson County, Idaho and was later buried in the Lewisville, Idaho cemetery.
Around 1965, while on active duty at Hill Air Force Base in northern Utah, I spent a few evenings trying by telephone to contact relatives in the Ogden area. I was told by Arthella Farr Eckersley about Margaret Callahan Eckersley, at Weber Memorial Hospital. Several good visits followed with her. For awhile afterward we corresponded before she died April 24, 1974. I found out a great deal about Lucinda and our family and also about an angel of a lady, Margaret, in the process. Margaret had known Lucinda and said that she was a wonderful grandmother.
At the end of active duty, while driving home I had a feeling that I should stop by the Church Historian's Office and ask to see the patriarchal blessings for Lucinda, with the object of finding her parents or other information, especially with reference to Olive Lee and her parents.
With my Air Force uniform still on I explained to President Joseph Fielding Smith's secretary why I had come and that he had ordained me a High Priest a short time before. She replied that he was at a funeral. As I turned to leave he came in and she explained to him what I wanted. He asked my relationship to Lucinda and granted me permission to look at the records. In the process I discovered a great deal about the Mormon Battalion and other things mentioned above. Afterward he was interested in what I had found. After a most kind half hour, his parting remark was, "she should have had only one patriarchal blessing".
She knows all now and I am sure will be greatly rewarded for her many sacrifices and good work in behalf of her grateful family. What a wonderful heritage we have and what a price so many have paid for us. I am so happy that they made the right choices in acceptance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and gave to us this great heritage in a free land, filled today with opportunities they would not have dreamed of.
Lucinda's daughter, Agnes Ann Callahan is my great-grandmother. She married William Arnold Rose and they had 16 children. My grandmother, Olive Lucretia Rose was the last. Agnes Ann Callahan died at her birth.
Today, while using Family Search, I discovered a further gem: While printing Family Group Records on the AUSTIN family line, one child married Catharine Maria ROSE. She is the sister of our William Arnold Rose, my great-grandfather. Both families were there in that part of Canada and inter-married.

Lucinda Shipman Austin Callahan Campbell was the daughter of Olive Lee. Her father was listed as Daniel Shipman. She was born in Athens, Leeds, Ontario. When she was two and a half, she was placed in the care of Agnes Nancy (Nicol) Austin and William Austin as Olive's new husband insisted. She spent her early childhood in Hammond, St. Lawrence County, New York.
When Lucinda was about 16 yrs. old she married Thomas William Callahan. Thomas and Lucinda were endowed in the Nauvoo Temple February 7, 1846. They had four children. Lucinda became a well respected mid-wife and known to have traveled with the Captain Willard Richards Company of 1848 from New York to the Salt Lake Valley on October 7th, 1848 and was among the first settlers. Their four children were Alma Austin Callahan b. Nov. 18, 1840 in Hammond, New York, Andrew Nicol Callahan b. Jul. 14, 1843 in Nauvoo, Illinois, Amasa Lyman Callahan b. Jan. 30, 1845 in Nauvoo, Illinois, and Agnes Ann Callahan b. Dec. 3, 1846, in Winter Quarters, Omaha, Nebraska.
Sometime in 1849, Lucinda married Jonathan Campbell. Lucinda’s husband had also marched with the Mormon Battalion. However, when they were mustered out, about fifty of the soldiers re-enlisted and stayed in the San Diego area. Thomas was among that number. The tradition of her family indicates that she thought that Thomas was dead or that he did not intend to return at all, so she asked Brigham Young for permission to marry Jonathan. Actually, Thomas eventually returned to Utah after working twelve years in California. He remarried and died a faithful member of the Church. In any case, Lucinda was a well respected midwife.
Eventually Jonathan and Lucinda had eight children. Three died as infants, another died at two years old and another at thirteen years old. Lucinda and Jonathan's children were Jonathan Campbell III b. 14 Nov 1853 North Ogden, Weber, Utah, Louisa Jane Campbell b. 15 Sep 1856 North Ogden, Weber, Utah, Rhoda Ann Richards Campbell b. 1 Sep 1858 in North Ogden, Weber, Utah, Heleman Campbell b. 15 Feb 1860 North Ogden, Weber, Utah, and William Campbell b. 27 Dec 1863 North Ogden, Weber, Utah.
Polygamy was practiced by several of the families in North Ogden. On October 13, 1860, Jonathan married his niece, Phebe Ann Campbell. They were 48 and 40 years old, respectively. Phebe had been married to her cousin, Isaiah Campbell, for about nineteen years but did not have any children. They were divorced when Phebe became dissatisfied as Isaiah took another wife and began to have children with his new wife. Lucinda, in turn, apparently did not find Jonathan’s marriage to Phebe Ann satisfactory, because she divorced Jonathan in 1864. Lucinda received an amount of land, goods, cattle, and a house in the settlement. Some years later they remarried but never lived in the same house again.
Lucinda lived out the remainder of her years with her children and died in Lewisville, Idaho at the home of her son Jonathan Campbell III on July 24, 1906.
