South Moulton, England and Juab County has something in common.....the Tolley family-before the civil war.

Wm. Fisher Tolley married Sarah Warren on August 1, 1848, and came to Nephi, Utah after joining the LDS Church. They came from South Moulton, England, which is in the Southwest part of that country. Indications are that it is about the same size as Nephi, and 150 years ago, they knew quite a bit about cattle and sheep, just like the folks in Juab County. What we don't know, is who some of the people are that I have originals of, but it shows some of the photos were taken in South Molton, England, and I have directed a letter to the museum there for assistance as to who these folks are. The lady holding the book had this photo taken in England, and the cursive name appears to be "Anne Bowlin" on the reverse. The third photo was also taken in England, and we have no name for her, but the second woman appears to have the name of  "E. Tolley  America" on it, so we will give that one to Nephi's DUP, rather than the museum in England.
