LYDIA
BILYEU(1) was born on 18 Aug 1793 in
GREEN CO., KENTUCKY. She died on 30 Sep 1845 in NAUVOO, HANCOCK CO., ILLINOIS.
Parents: JOHN BILYEU and TRYNTJE
.She was married to JOHN WORKMAN on 11 Mar 1809
in OVERTON CO., TENNESSEE. AS A YOUNG MAN OF 19, UNATTACHED, LEFT THE MARYLAND
HOME OF HIS FATHER, GOING FIRST TO THE KENTUCKY COUNTRY BUT SOON CONTINUING ON
TO OVERTON CO., TENNESSEE, WHERE HE BECAME ATTACHED TO THE BILYEU FAMILY. THAT
HE HAD KNOWN THIS FAMILY BEFORE COMING TO TENNESSEE IS CERTAIN. THEY HAD GONE
THROUGH THE SAME MIGRATORY STAGES AS HAD THE WORKMAN FAMILY AND SHORTLY BEFORE
THIS JOHN'S ELDER BROTHER, BENJAMIN, HAD MARRIED HANNAH BILYEU. WHILE IN OVERTON
CO., TENN., PETER BILYEU AND JOHN WORKMAN WERE AMONG THE SIGNERS OF A PETITION
OF 27 SEPT. 1813 FOR A MILITIA TO PROTECT THE SETTLERS FROM THE INDIANS.
IN 1814, JOHN AND HIS FAMILY MOVED TO KENTUCKY AND BOUGHT LAND IN NICHOLAS
CO., JUST TEN MILES NORTH OF WHERE HIS FATHER, JACOB, HAD SETTLED IN BOURBON
CO., TWO YEARS PREVIOUSLY. BY INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY THE WORKMANS SOON FOUND THEMSELVES
IN GOOD CIRCUMSTANCES BOTH IN LAND AND MONEY. JOHN BUILT A FINE HOME IN CARLISLE.
THE WORKMANS WERE VERY SINCERE IN THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS BELONGING TO THE TUNKERS
OR GERMAN BAPTIST CHURCH (LIKE THEIR COUSINS WHO WERE SETTLING FURTHER UP THE
OHIO RIVER IN BELMONT AND KNOX COUNTIES, OHIO).
JOHN HAD A VERY COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST. HE
TRIED TO SHOW THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH THE BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
SCRIPTURES. THIS LED TO ARGUMENTS AND CONTENTION AMONG THEM, BRINGING THE HATRED
AND ENVY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH UPON JOHN AND HIS FAMILY. FOR THIS REASON
JOHN LEFT CARLISLE AND WENT BACK TO OVERTON COUNTY, TENN. BECAUSE OF THE BITTERNESS
IN THE COMMUNITY TOWARDS THEM OVER RELIGIOUS DISPUTES IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR JOHN
TO SELL HIS HOLDINGS IN CARLISLE SO HE ABANDONED THEM.
BACK IN OVERTON CO., TENN., AGAIN, JOHN BOUGHT MUCH LAND AND HAD SLAVES TO
WORK IT. HE LAID HIS FARM OUT IN SECTIONS FOR THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF FARM CROPS;
HAD HIS OWN GRIST MILL, GROCERY STORE AND FLOCKS AND HERDS. HE ATTENDED BUT COULD
NOT ACCEPT THE POPULAR INTERPRETATION SO IN DUE TIME HE QUIT THE CHURCH ALTOGETHER.
AFTER THAT HE CARRIED ON A DISTILLERY OF WHISKY AND BRANDY AND GOT TO DRINKING
MODERATELY HIMSELF.
IN 1839 TWO MORMON ELDERS CAME TO OVERTON CO., TENN.. THEY HAD A HARD TIME
FINDING LODGINGS. THEY CAME TO JOHN WORKMAN'S DOOR. AS JOHN HAD NEVER TURNED
A TRAVELLER FROM HIS DOOR WITHOUT FOOD AND REST THESE ELDERS FOUND A WELCOME
IN HIS HOME. THE MESSAGE THEY BROUGHT STRUCK A FAMILIAR CHORD IN THE HEART OF
JOHN WORKMAN. HE BROUGHT OUT HIS COMPENDUIM AND FOUND HIS CLASSIFICATION OF SCRIPTURES
TO BE SIMILAR TO THE ONE THE ELDERS USED. THEIR EXPLANATIONS WERE THOSE HE HAD
TRIED TO CONVEY TO THE CHURCH MEMBERS AND FOR WHICH THEY HAD CAST HIM OUT AND
ABUSED HIM AND HIS FAMILY. ON THE 22 JULY 1840 JOHN AND HIS WIFE LYDIA AND SEVERAL
OF HIS CHILDREN WERE BAPTIZED BY ABRAM OWEN SMOOT AND JULIAN MOSES AND CONFIRMED
30 JULY THAT YEAR AS MEMBERS OF THE LDS CHURCH.
THIS STEP INCREASED THE HATRED AND PERSECUTIONS BY THE LOCAL CHURCH AND COMMUNITY.
IN 1843 HE ABANDONED HIS VAST HOLDINGS IN TENNESSEE AND EMIGRATED TO NAUVOO,
WHERE HE COULD ASSOCIATE WITH THOSE WHO HAD THE SAME RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS THAT
HE CHERISHED. HERE HE BOUGHT A FARM FOUR MILES EAST OF NAUVOO WHERE HE LIVED
MOST OF THE TIME. TWO OF HIS SONS HAD PREVIOUSLY LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NAUVOO.
IN THE SUMMER OF 1845 JOHN HAD HARVESTED A GOOD WHEAT CROP AND THRESHED SOME
OF IT. ONE DAY IN EARLY EVENING HE SAW SOME OF THE FARM HOMES OF OTHER SAINTS
IN FLAMES. HE KNEW AT ONCE THAT THIS WAS THE WORK OF MOBS WHOSE FURY HAD RAGED
UNABATED SINCE THE NAUVOO CHARTER HAD BEEN REPEALED. HE HAD A WAGON THERE WITH
BOARDS ACROSS THE RUNNING GEARS. JOHN PUT WHAT HE COULD OF THE SACKED WHEAT ON
THIS WAGON AND HIS FAMILY ON TOP OF THE WHEAT AND DROVE TO NAUVOO FOR PROTECTION.
THE SEVERE PERSECUTIONS THE SAINTS SUFFERED AT THIS TIME PROVED TOO MUCH FOR
JOHN'S WIFE, LYDIA, AND SHE SUCCUMBED TO THE TRIALS, DYING IN NAUVOO AND WAS
BURIED IN THE NAUVOO CEMETERY.
JOHN PASSED THROUGH THE TRIALS INCIDENT TO THE EXPULSION OF THE SAINTS FROM
NAUVOO. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME HE HAD ABANDONED HIS EARTHLY POSSESSIONS FOR
HIS SPIRITUAL CONVICTIONS., HE REMAINED IN THE CITY OF NAUVOO UNTIL THE LATE
SPRING OF 1846 WHEN HE WAS DRIVEN INTO THE WILDERNESS WITH THE SAINTS. HE JOINED
HIS SON, JACOB L. AT MT. PISGAH, IOWA, WHERE HE HAD A TEMPORARY CABIN. JOHN REMAINED
THERE UNTIL 1851 WHEN HE EMIGRATED TO THE GREAT SALT LAKE. IN SALT LAKE HE LIVED
PART OF THE TIME WITH HIS CHILDREN AND PART OF THE TIME IN THE SMALL HOME THAT
JACOB L. HAD BUILT FOR HIM ON THE LOT JACOB HAD DRAWN AT THE TIME THE CITY WAS
LAID OUT. JOHN HAD LEFT SOME OF HIS FAMILY IN ILLINOIS, THEY HAVING ELECTED TO
STAY THERE, BUT OTHERS HAD FOLLOWED THE COURSE OF THE CHURCH AND WERE WITH HIM
IN HIS DEVOTION TO THE CAUSE HE HAD ESPOUSED. HE LABORED WITH HIS OWN HANDS FOR
A LIVING AND BECAUSE OF HIS BEAUTIFUL PENMANSHIP HAD BEEN GIVEN THE ASSIGNMENT
OF BEING SCRIBE TO THE CHURCH, SPENDING MOST OF HIS TIME TRANSCRIBING PATRIARCHAL
BLESSINGS AND FAMILY HISTORIES .........
HIS SON JACOB L. WORKMAN, WRITING OF HIS FATHER'S DEATH, SAID--
HE CONTINUED HIS LABOR OF TRANSCRIBING BLESSINGS AND FAMILY RECORDS UNTIL THE
SPRING OF 1855 WHEN HIS HEALTH BECAME VERY POOR. HIS AFFLICTION INCREASING UPON
HIM IN SPITE OF ALL OUR FAITH AND PRAYERS AND ALL WE COULD DO. ON THE 14TH OF
APRIL, I COULD SEE THAT HIS DAYS WERE NUMBERED. I ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED TO DIE.
HE SAID THAT HE WOULD RATHER LIVE, BUT IF IT WAS THE LORD'S WILL TO TAKE HIM
HE WAS READY. WE HAD FREQUENT TALKS UPON THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION. HE REMAINED
IN HIS RATIONAL MIND UNTIL THE EVENING OF APRIL 20TH, WHEN HE WENT TO SLEEP,
BUT STILL CONTINUING TO BREATHE UNTIL 20 MINS. TO 5 A.M. THE MORNING OF APRIL
21 HE PASSED AWAY SURROUNDED BY HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Children were:
JACOB LINDSEY WORKMAN.
