BIOGRAPHY: Son of John Boyington (1781) and Hannah Hadley (1790) Born at Cradley Parish. Thomas left home at the age of nine years. After having joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), he emigrated to United States and came across the plains in a large company of saints under the command of Captain Willey. Thomas started from the state of Iowa and his handcart contained 100 pounds of flour, a little bacon, some bedding and a small supply of clothing. In October of the year 1856, Captain Willey's company reached the Sweetwater, which is the Great Basin Divide between the North Platte and the Green Rivers in wouthern Wyoming. The provisions dwindled to almost nothing and rations were doled out from the wagons with the most supplies. How weakened they were as they tried to travel in this condition and their plans had to be changed as the men became weaker day by day. They were so anxious to continue their journey to Zion but it was necessary for them to camp on the Sweetwater. Here they found some cattle which had died a year or two previously and their skeletons were left covering the ground. The members of this handcart company pulled off the hard, dried skins from the animals, cut them into strips, warmed the strips of skin over the fire and chewed the rawhide in order to sustain life. Many persons in the ill-fated Willey's handcart company died of starvation. Thomas had the unique experience of awakening from his sleep one morning to find a dead man on each side of him, having slept three abreast in bed the night before. A party of horsedrawn wagons rescued the survivors and arrived in Salt Lake City Nov. 9, 1856. Thomas declared: "I was so hungry that if there was a loaf of bread on the other side of a fire, I would go through the fire to get the loaf of bread."
In 1864 Thomas returned to the Mississippi River for a load of emigrants. Hannah became his bride in 1865. They lived on their farm across the Sanpitch River to the north of the Gunnison Reservoir in the summertime. In the winter the family lived in a comfortable adobe house in the City of Manti... Their home was a gathering place for the youth; many was the time that "Daddy Boyington" kept the fires burning while the young people enjoyed themselves in dance and merrymaking.BIOGRAPHY: From a history submitted by Elga Henrie Larsen, grandaughter:
Thomas was a farmer and stockman. They were rugged hard working people and devoted Latter-day Saints. The friends of this large family loved to gather at the Boyington home where they were always welcomed and had good times together.
Thomas was tall in stature and had dark curly hair. It is said that he applied for the king's guard and passed all the requirements but one. He was only 6 feet 1-1/2 inches tall -1/2 inch too short (Excerpts from a history by Sarah and Nettie Boyingon)BIOGRAPHY: Short History by Sarah and Nettie Boyington

From Sarah and Nettie Boyington:
Hannah came from a well-to-do family. She was of small stature, being thin, had dark hair and was known for her lovely disposition. Her health was fair and she was of a religious nature. Her father passed away and was buried in England and it was in the schools of England that she received her education. [An interesting difference of view from other Braithwaite histories!- MG]
When her future husband was asked, "Why don't you court Hannah?" Thomas replied, "She is too fancy for me." However, he must have "courted" her. Another misconception that Thomas had of Hannah was: "She would never know how to work," but Hannah certainly proved the contrary in spite of her small build. She was a good Relief Society member of the LDS Church. She was a friendly neighbor and was particularly good to visit the sick.

Joseph Smith BRAITHWAITE [Parents] was born 23 Aug 1845 in Kirkland, Kendal, Westmoreland, England. He died 26 Mar 1934 in Manti, Sanpete, Ut and was buried 29 Mar 1934 in Provo, Utah, Ut. Joseph married Esther TAYLOR on 28 Nov 1872 in Manti, Sanpete, Ut.
Braithwaite book says born 23 Aug 1844, died in Provo, buried in Manti.
By Elga Henrie Larsen:
Joseph Smith Braithwaite was a beekeeper by trade and sold honey and vinegar. The dozen or more hives were kept in rows among his fruit trees. The trees were kept trimmed and beautiful. After his wife died and his daughters became married and left, he continued to keep his house and yard tidy. he also cooked for himself to the extent that he mixed and baked his own bread.
He was a talented man and carved with his pocket knife a beautiful replica two feet tall of the Manti Temple which was kept in a glass cage in his parlor on a small table. This temple now stands in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Other evidences of his talent were large gilt framed pictures composed of butterflies & moths of different sizes and colors. Some of his arrangements are on walls of relatives homes today & are almost as bright and pretty as when they were first collected and pinned on the background of the pictures.
The Braithwaites were musical & had fine singing voices. Joseph had an accordian on which he could play almost any tune he ever heard and was willing to play it.
A special attraction at his home was a bright green parrot called Polly. The children were delighted when it talked to them. They loved to see it shell large sunflower seeds with its beak & eat the nuts inside.
Esther TAYLOR was born 25 Jan 1855 in Manti, Sanpete, Ut. She died 19 Aug 1915 in Manti, Sanpete, Ut and was buried 23 Aug 1915 in Manti, Sanpete, Ut. Esther married Joseph Smith BRAITHWAITE on 28 Nov 1872 in Manti, Sanpete, Ut.

By Elga Henrie Larsen:
Joseph Smith Braithwaite was a beekeeper by trade and sold honey and vinegar. The dozen or more hives were kept in rows among his fruit trees. The trees were kept trimmed and beautiful. After his wife died and his daughters became married and left, he continued to keep his house and yard tidy. he also cooked for himself to the extent that he mixed and baked his own bread.
He was a talented man and carved with his pocket knife a beautiful replica two feet tall of the Manti Temple which was kept in a glass cage in his parlor on a small table. This temple now stands in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Other evidences of his talent were large gilt framed pictures composed of butterflies & moths of different sizes and colors. Some of his arrangements are on walls of relatives homes today & are almost as bright and pretty as when they were first collected and pinned on the background of the pictures.
The Braithwaites were musical & had fine singing voices. Joseph had an accordian on which he could play almost any tune he ever heard and was willing to play it.
A special attraction at his home was a bright green parrot called Polly. The children were delighted when it talked to them. They loved to see it shell large sunflower seeds with its beak & eat the nuts inside.
