This is what I would refer to as the Thomas Hepworth/Mary Fletcher Family Road Map. In the last two months I have been trying to find the original copy because this copy is so poor. I was not successful so I am going ahead with my plan . Often I refer to this record. It has been in my father's possession for some time and I regret that I didn't show more interest when my father was alive. I would have asked him what he knew about each one.
This is an amazing record because there are pictures of all Thomas and Mary's eleven surviving children and all but two pictures of a spouse.
shown with exception of Emma who married Charles I. Cobb and Jane who married Charles's brother Fremont Cobb. At the present time I am working on getting pictures from a Cobb descendant.
Child number eleven, Rose, her husband George Klink is not shown and I have a picture of him. And of course, child number twelve, Joseph never married.
Hmmm, guess I should work on making my own picture record of this family. As you can tell this record includes two view's of the Hepworth house. As it was when it was built and when it was turned into apartments; picture taken in 1977. Today it is being restored to the original state.
A good thing! I have decided to change my way of blogging about this family. I am now going to post stories on an individual and not take one family at a time. So with this Hepworth road map hopefully you can keep track. I suggest you print your own copy if you don't already have one. And, remember the John Hepworth and Frances Amelia Fletcher family? I will start posting information I have on that family.

Hi Renee - I have started working on the Hepworth line again (my husband James Ellsworth Eggleston's family - his gr gr grandparents were Thomas and Mary and his gr grandmother is Frances Amelia Hepworth). I am adding to the photos I have on Ancestry and trying to put everything I gather there. We are having a small "cousins" get-together in So. California the end of June and I will ask others to bring old family photos they may have so I can scan then and then post them to ancestry. I have been reading the Journal of the Emigration 1852. My plan for next spring is to add a trip to Salt Lake City and Albion, Idaho to a trip we are planning to Yellowstone and the Tetons. I would like for us to see some of the original sites and visit the cemeteries. I really appreciate the work you have put into your blog and your sharing of the Hepworth Family group picture and all the individual stories you are telling. Susanne
