- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. The following information was found concerning the two children of Charles and Zibiah:
A. Website http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ruthhall/McCarley/McCarley.html#i5037 accessed 10 Dec 2008:
"Zebiah McCarley next married Charles Beirdneau on 20 Apr 1823 in Gallia County, Ohio. Charles was born in 1766, died on 5 Feb 1860 in Calhoun, Harrison, Iowa and was buried in Calhoun, Harrison, Iowa.
Children from this marriage were:
i. Nehemia Wood Beirdneau was born on 2 Feb 1824 in Gallipolis, Gallia County, Ohio, died on 7 Sep 1901 in Stafford, Graham County, Arizona and was buried on 10 Sep 1901 in Thatcher, Graham County, Arizona.
ii. Elizabeth Gabrrielle Beirdneau was born on 6 Mar 1827 in Jackson, Jackson County, Ohio and died on 8 Oct 1903. Elizabeth married Perrigrine Sessions on 25 Mar 1865 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. Perrigrine was born on 15 Jan 1814 in Newrey, Oxford, Maine, died on 3 Jun 1893 in Bountiful, Davis, Utah and was buried on 6 Jun 1893 in Bountiful, Davis, Utah."
B. LDS Ordinance Index shows "Eliz Gabrielle Bridno" married and sealed to "Perigrine Sessions" on 25 Mar 1865 EHOUS in Salt Lake City. Note that Perigrine Sessions, along with John Stoker, were founders of Bountiful. Stoker's wife, a daughter of Zibiah, may have had something to do with her step-sister's marriage to Peregrine.
C. Per Worldconnect database "sgoates4093" of Sharol Goates 2 Jun 2007: Charles and Zibiah had a son Nehemiah Wood Bierdneau b. 2 Feb 1824 in Gallipolis, Gallia, Ohio, d. 7 Sep 1901 in Thatcher, Graham, Arizona, with many children born to Nehemiah in Iowa and Logan, Utah. Website has the descendancy. Notes Charles Beirdneau as born in France abt. 1775 with death in Kenawaha, Virginia abt. 1840. I do not know why Virginia. Most databases show this Nehemiah married to America Steele which is interesting because the 1850 census in Iowa has a Jeremiah Birdeno married to America ___ living next door to Zibiah Birdeno. Elizabeth, age 20 and apparently his sister, is living with her mother in the same census.
2. Censuses:
1830 US: Bloomfield, Jackson, Ohio, p. 1 of 8 (Note: that index indicates "Burdine," but looking carefully at the actual image, it is "Burdino".):

3. FHL film 702: "Journal of John Stoker, b. 1817; Journal starts November 1, 1869." John was the son of David Stoker and Barbara Graybill. Selected family related passages from his journal:
P. 1: Nov. 1-4, 1869: The journal starts with John leaving as a 52 year old missionary with Jesse N. Perkins as a companion from Salt Lake City on the railroad to Omaha, NE. The railroad had just recently been completed so he details the progress of the transcontinental railway journey.
P. 2: Saturday, Nov. 6, 1869: "Went to Bluff City with J.N. Perkins. Sunday 7th, spent the fore noon with Moroni Stoker - took dinner with him." [William Moroni Stoker, 1834-1929, was John's first cousin thru John's father's brother Michael S. Stoker, 1805-1858.]
P. 3: "Monday 8th. Went up to Musketoe to see Simeon P. Graybill. Stayed all night. Tuesday 9th, took dinner with Aunt Margaret Stoker, Uncle Eller Stoker's widow, and returned to Aunt Martha's at Trading Point, Potawatamie Co., Iowa. Wednesday, 10th. Wrote a letter to Mr. Wm. Atkinson in Bountiful, Davis Co., Utah. Thursday 11th. Visited Wm. McDaniel in Harrison Co. 40 miles north. Friday 12th. Visited the grave of Zibiah Birdno [could also be Binders], my wife's mother. Saturday 13th. Returned to Aunt Martha's at Trader's Point. Sunday 14th. Spent the day with Aunt Martha's family. Monday 15th. Went to Bluff City to look for a letter but got none and returned to the Point. [Simeon Graybill, 1816-1889, was John's first cousin twice thru his father's sister Polly Stoker, 1792-1864, and thru his mother's brother Michael Peter Graybill. Eller Stoker, 1816-1855, was John's father's brother and married to Margaret Judd, 1822-1893. Aunt Martha was Martha Carr McDaniel, 1808-1873, wife of John's father's brother Michael S. Stoker, 1805-1858. William McDaniel, 1810-1885, is John's brother-in-law. John's Mother-in-law, Zibiah (McCarley) McDaniels, 1786-1860, apparently remarried a Mr. Birdno after her husband James McDaniel, 1762-1820, died.]
Pp. 4-9: The journal details their departure from Council Bluffs area by various means including railroad, hack, steamboat, packet boat, hired horses, and on foot with luggage to "Leith Co. 5 miles north of Estillville," Virginia via many detailed waypoints including but not limited to DesMoines, Chicago, Cleveland, Wheeling VA, Burlington on the Ohio River, the "Big Sandy" on the line between Kentucky and Virginia, the "Pound Gap" summit of Cumberland Mountain, the "High Nob the highest point in Virginia." John details with whom they stayed and what hospitality they received. Along the way they see and preach the Gospel to many McLelland/McClelland relatives of his companion. In Leith Co., VA, on Monday, Dec. 13, 1869, he "wrote a letter home to my family and one to Ash[e] Co., North Carolina to David and Henry Graybill" which they mailed the next day from Estillville. [John's mother, Barbara Graybill, had two brothers - Henry, ca1780-ca1843, and David, 1794-1874 - who remained in Ashe Co. where she was born; however, Henry was dead by then but his "Uncle" David responds later on Jan. 22.]
Pp. 10-17: They stayed in the area doing missionary work mainly among McClellands. He notes on Christmas day while staying with Samuel McClelland, they went to a meeting and heard a Dunkard preach. On Monday, Dec. 27th, John notes, "wrote a letter to my family also one to my sister-in-law Martha Stoker at Bluff City, Iowa. [Martha Carr (McDaniel) Stoker was whom he referred to as Aunt Martha previously in his journal since she was married to his father's brother Michael S. Stoker, but she was also a sister-in-law since she was the sister to John's wife Jane McDaniel.] John notes on Saturday, Jan. 8th, that he "went to the widow Quillins to inquire concerning the Wampler family." [I am unsure who the widow was, but John's maternal grandmother was Christina Wampler, 1753-1844.] On Tuesday, Jan. 11th, John notes, "Went to Patsy Daughterty's to inquire after my mother's relatives." On Thursday, Jan. 13th, he notes that he "went to Wm. Wampler's, took dinner." [I do not have either a Patsy Daughterty nor William Wampler in my database - they must be of a later generation than John's grandmother Christina Wampler.] He also notes on the same day that he received a letter from his son-in-law J. Tolman and daughter in Utah. On Saturday, Jan. 22nd, John notes, 'Received a letter from my son David Stoker, Davis Co., Utah dated Jan'y 1st, 1870, gave particulars of my son John Stoker's sickness but getting better. Also received a letter from my uncle David Graybill, Ashe Co., Jefferson, North Carolina." On Jan. 24th, he writes back to his uncle David Graybill.
Pp. 18-24: Starting on Jan. 26th, 1870, the missionaries are on the move: first to Bristol (VA?), then thru Chattanooga, Nashville, Sparta, to Putnam Co., Tennessee where they did missionary work with the Perkins and Mayberry families who relatives of his companion, Jesse Perkins. On Sunday, Feb. 13th, 1870, John wrote letters to his son David Stoker in Davis Co., Utah and one to Aunt Martha Stoker and cousins in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa. On the next day he went to Gainesboro where he received a letter from his son David Stoker. Beginning Feb. 16th, 1870, John proceeds by boat down the Cumberland to Nashville then to St. Louis via the Mississippi River from Cape "Jerido". On Feb. 23rd, took the from St. Louis to Trader's Point where again he sees Aunt Martha. He sends money to his companion in Decatur Co., Iowa to help him get to Council Bluffs. He also sends a letter to Utah asking his family for money for himself and his companion.
Pp. 25-33: John arrives Feb. 26 and remains in Pottawattamie Co., Iowa until March 24 when he, Jesse Perkins who arrives March 9, and several other missionaries from the East Coast join up in Omaha for the trip home to Utah by railroad which he notes cost $50.75. Generally he is staying with his Aunt Martha. Some journal entries during that time period dealing with family follow: "Sat., Feb 26th, 1870: Went up to Musketoe Creek to Simeon Peter Graybill, my cousin. Stayed over night. Sunday, 27th. Went to Walker's Grove in Harrison Co. to Sidney R. Graybill, my cousin, with Moroni Stoker to see some sick cousins Michael and Elizabeth Graybill. [Sidney Rigdon, 1836-1893, Michael S., 1827-1910, and Elizabeth, 1833-1891, are siblings and all children of Polly Stoker, John's father's sister.] Stayed over night. Monday 28th. Cold and windy. Remained all day. Stayed all night. Tuesday, March 1st 1870. Returned to Aunt Martha Stoker's at Traders Point. Read a letter from David Stoker, my son, to John A. Stoker, dated Feb'y 21st, 1870. Stayed overnight... Thursday 3d. Cousin Jared Stoker killed 2 turkeys, the 2 weighing 40 lbs. [John Alexander Stoker, 1837-1918, and Jared, 1843-1912, were first cousins and sons of Michael S. Stoker, brother of John's father David.] Stayed over... Tuesday 8th, being my birthday, age 53... Wednesday 9th... was weighed being 184 lbs... Friday 18th... went to Aaron Thomas, took dinner and spent the day with him and family. [Aaron Morris Thomas, 1833-1920, was married to John's first cousin, Elizabeth Jane Stoker, who was the daughter of John W. Stoker, a brother of John's father David.] Returned to Aunt Martha Stoker's... Saturday 19th... Sent a letter to Wm. Atkinson in Bountiful, Davis County, Utah, heard from home by a letter wrote to John A. Stoker dated March the 12th, 1870. All was well... Thursday 24th... John A. Stoker and Joseph Stoker took me and Bro. Jesse N. Perkins to Omaha with a wagon. Rained before we got there. Joseph Stoker went over the River with us met about 30 of the missionaries at the St. Charles Hotel. [Joseph Jehiel Stoker, 1846-1921, was a brother of John Alexander and William Moroni Stoker.] Left Omaha at 6 p.m. on the Emigrant Cars for home..."
Pp. 33-35: John details the train trip which started March 24th and arrived home in Bountiful March 29th after switching to the Utah Central in Ogden. He notes his arrival "in the midst of family and friends with a hearty God bless you… and a hearty shaking of hands." The missionary journal ends at this point.
Pp. 36-227: The balance of John's journal book is genealogical notations of family. Many pages are blank, which I did not copy. Besides family, John would also note many other unrelated Stokers who he must have gleaned from books and other sources. He also notes some totally unrelated non-Stoker individuals with whom he evidently has some acquaintance. I have entered the pertinent data with each family in my database.
4. Ancestry.com accessed 28 Feb 2013 from Claudia Ray :
"Zibiah Mc Carley.
Also known as Sibby Mc Carley; Shebby Mc Daniel, Zibiah Birdino.
Zibiah was born 10 Dec 1786 to John Mc Carley and Martha Carr.
She was born in Pennsylvania, moved with her family to Virginia and then to Ohio. In Ohio she met and married James McDonald the 19 Dec 1805 (film 0317652) here they spelled her name as Sibby Mc Carley. They were married in Gallipolis, Gallia County, Ohio by Charles Buck Jr. They lived in Raccoon Twp near the Raccoon river in Gallia County, Ohio.
They had five children, three girls and two boys. Electa Sarah, Martha, Jane, John and William, James died in 1820, leaving Zibiah with five children ages four to twelve years old. (1820 census.)
The 20 of April 1823 Zibiah married Charles Birdino. Here she used the name of Shebby Mc Daniel. Her using the surname of Mc Daniel may indicate the Mc Donald clan using Mc Daniel for Church events. (Film 0317652) They had two children, Nemiah Wood Birdino and Elizabeth Gabrielle Birdino.
Charles had several spelling variations of his surname. It was spelled Birdino on his marriage certificate. Burdinano, Beirdneau and Birdino in the land grant papers. In the 1830 census his name was listed as Charles Burdino. His children always seemed to use the Birdno spelling.
Charles Birdino had enlisted in the army and fought in the war of 1812. Because of this he received warrant no. 3809 for 160 acres of bounty land. I believe that his bounty land was located in Jefferson County, Ohio, because Charles Burdino, John Stoker, Michael Stoker and Michael Stoker Jr were all living in Steubenville; Ohio, in the 1830 Census.
From the location of their residences next to each other Charles Birdino and Michael Stoker may have both receive bounty lands from the war of 1812. James Mc Donald may have also enlisted in the army for the war of 1812.
The 1830 Ohio Census shows a Charles Burdino record with 1 male 5-10 Nehemiah Birdno, 1 male 10-15 William Mc Donald, 1 male 15-20 John McDonald-Mc Daniel, 1 male 60-70 Charles Birdno & 1 female under 5 Elizabeth Birdno, 1 female 20-30 Jane Mc Daniel and 1 female 40-50 Zibiah. (Census)
This census proves that Zibiah did not have three more sons with James Mc Donald. If she did they would have been shown on this census record. The three extra sons Van D. Mc Daniel born 13 May 1815, John E. Mc Daniel born 5 Dec 1817 & Andrew G. Mc Daniel born 30 Mar 1820. If she did the census would have shown 2 Males 15-20 & 3 Males 10-15. These three never appeared as sons of James and Zibiah on any records until a computer match and merge was done to create the I.G.I. They should be removed as sons of Zibiah in the New Family Search.
Next was the John Stoker family with one male under 5 one male 20-30 John & 1 female under 5, one female 20-30 Electa Sarah Mc Daniel.
Next was the Michael Stoker family with one male 10-15, one male 15-20 John, one male 60-70 & one female 10-15 Christina, one female 50-60.
Then the Michael Stoker Jr. family with one male under 5, one male 20-30 & one female 5-10, one female 20-30 Martha Mc Daniel. Charles Birdino had received a leg wound while serving in the war of 1812 while fighting in Canada. There was a military hospital in Kanawha, Virginia where he had gone to have his leg checked. He died in Kanawha in 1840 leaving Zibiah a widow again. This time most of her children were grown and married.
An article in the Wellston, Jackson County, Ohio Historical Society published in August 19?? gives the following information about the Graybeal and Stoker families. (In 1815 Peter Graybeal Sr and his wife left Ashe County with their son Michael, his wife Mary Stoker and their two young children. Their daughter Barbara Graybeal and her husband David Stoker, Mary's brother and their Stoker in-laws Michael and Catherine Eller Stoker. They were on their way to the Great Western Reserve, which would become Ohio. They selected a location in what became Bloomfield, Jackson County Ohio. Here they learned of the early Latter Day Saint Church and every member of this group of baptismal age became members in 1833. The spelling of their name was changed to Graybill to set them apart as Mormons.)
Some books say that the Mc Donald clan was a violent clan so when they joined a church they would change their name to Mc Daniel.
Because of the Mc Donald clan using the surname of Mc Daniel I believe that Zibiah and her children who joined the Church were baptized as Mc Daniel.
Our John Mc Daniel was baptized in 1 February 1833 by Seymour Brunson. Seymour Brunson's diary says that he baptized a large number of people in Ohio. I believe that Zibiah and her children that were baptized and joined the Church used the name Mc Daniel.
All of Zibiah's Mc Daniel children married Stokers except for William who never married, never joined the church and never used the surname of Mc Daniel.
Zibiah's oldest daughter Electa Sarah was born 26 May 1806 (film 184,658). She married John W. Stoker. They joined the Mormon Church and came west to Nauvoo and then to Council Bluffs, Iowa where they both died in 1857. They died at Traders Point, Iowa
Her next daughter Martha married Michael Stoker Jr. They also joined the church and came west to Nauvoo, and then to Iowa where they both died. Martha died in Council Bluffs, Iowa 4 Feb 1873.
Zibiah, her sons John Mc Daniel, William Mc Donald and Nemiah Wood Birdino and daughter Elizabeth Gabriell Birdino also came west with the rest ofthe family as far as Iowa.
In the 1850 Iowa census Zibiah and her daughter Elizabeth Birdino were living with Zibiah's son William Mc Donald. His surname was spelled Mc Donal in this census.
Jeremiah Birdeno, his wife America and daughter Emily were living next door, or with them.
Zibiah remained in Iowa where she died in 1860 at the age of 73 years 16 days and was buried in the Calhoun Cemetery, (film 1,579,041) which is in Harrison County. Harrison county had been a part of Pottawattamie county until 1855.
William remained in Iowa and was a farmer. At his death an obituary was printed saying. (William McDonald came in 1854 with his mother, who was of the Mormon Faith. She went to Utah, but he refused to go. He remained in Calhoon township and lived a single life ever afterwards. He accumulated over fifty thousand dollars worth of property. He died in 1885 and his estate was sold at auction.) (film 0,934,944 pg. 454) The probate of William's estate can be found in the (film 1510110 pp. 493, 404-496, 504, 510).
It tells the names of his sister's family coming to claim his estate.
William is buried next to his mother in the Calhoun Cemetery. (Film 1,579,041) I don't think the people who wrote his obituary knew that Zibiah Birdno was the mother of William Mc Donald."
BIRTH:
1. Elizabeth B. (Beirdneau) Sessions in the 1900 US Census for Bountiful, Davis, Utah indicates that she was born Mar. 1827 in Ohio and that her father (Charles Beirdneau) was born in Vermont and her mother (Zibiah McCarley) in Pennsylvania. The 1850 census also confirms a birth for Zibiah in Pennsylvania per her report to the census taker. Nehemiah Birdno in the same 1900 census for Graham County, Arizona notes his birth as Feb 1824 in Ohio and that both of his parents were born in Ohio (which we know to be most likely incorrect in regards to his parents.)
2. Family Tree accessed 15 Feb 2013 has the following comment added by a patron: "Charles pension application for the War of 1812 gives his birthplace as Vermont, that on the 20th of July 1815 he was about 40 years old, 5'-10" tall, had a dark complexion with black eyes and hair. It also gives his occupation as farmer. In the land grants he received 160 acres of bounty land in Ohio.
MARRIAGE:
1. Apparently, Zibiah, married as her second husband Charles N. Birdno or Bierdneau or Birdneau 20 Apr 1823 in Gallia Co., Ohio. See John Stoker's journal above.
2. FHL film 317652 "Ohio Marriage Records," pg. 128, has marriage of Zibiah McDaniel to Charles Burdino 20 Apr 1823 in Gallipolis, Gallia, Ohio.
DEATH:
1. Since his daughter Elizabeth was age 20 in the 1850 census, that would have Charles alive until at least 1830. Shows up in 1850's Census in West Virginia (as a boarder). He went there to try to get his pension. Family lore says he drowned crossing river when trying to get back to his family.
