Hannah was 22, Elizabeth 3 and Eliza. In the summer of 1851, the family moved to Pottawattamie County, Iowa, where Perry soon died... I find only two other Omans at this time in the area, both in Council Bluffs, during the 1850 census. Eliza Oman, age 35, was perhaps a relative since Perry named a daughter Eliza, and next door to her was George Oman, who was a leader of a group of Latter Day Saints who traveled on to Utah.

      1. Oman family history mentioned in the book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 107+; has three of photos of Hannah Smith - one taken just after her marriage with George Graybill, one with her second husband, James Sexton, taken during the Civil War, and one as an older woman with three generations of descendants.

      BIOGRAPHY:
      1. See notes of father John Smith for extensive biography on entire family including this individual and their spouses.

      2. The book "Mormon Redress Petitions, Documents of the 1833-1838 Missouri Conflict," edited by Clark V. Johnson, contains a copy of the "Scroll Petition" dated 28 Nov 1843 at Nauvoo, IL addressed to the U.S. Congress by members of the LDS Church who had property destroyed by Missouri mobs in the 1830's. Included with over a couple thousand signatures are those of Jno. and Sarah Smith and some of his children from his first wife who was deceased at the time of the petition: Hannah, Elizabeth, Stephen. Jos., and Rhoda A.

      3. Mentioned in granddaughter Julia Stoker's biography per two sources: www.rootsweb.com/~iaharris/ and FHL book 977.747-H2n: "History of Harrison County, Iowa," 1891, pp. 959, 960: "Miss Julia Stoker - The biographies of successful women are unusual in works of this character, yet there are, in every community, a few women, who, by virtue of their superior ability and keen business judgement, are entitled to recognition far beyond that usually accorded to the sterner sex. But it is altogether extraordinary to find a young woman who has shown such wonderful executive ability as Miss Julia Stoker, a successful capitalist and the manager of her deceased father's great estate. Miss Julia Stoker was born on August 9, 1890, in Washington township, Harrison county, Iowa, the daughter of Orsan and Elizabeth (Omen) Stoker. They were the parents of ten children, eight of whom are living. Orsan Stoker was born on January 25, 1843, in Hancock county, Illinois, the son of Ellen and Margaret (Judd) Stoker. Orsan Stoker came to Harrison county, Iowa, in 1862, and bought land in Washington township. He made improvements upon this land, among which was a log cabin, sixteen feet square and here he and his family lived a few years, when the log cabin was replaced by a better house. He was an extensive breeder of Poland China hogs and Shorthorn cattle. Throughout his life, he was an energetic farmer and stockman. He built a splendid house near the town of Yorkshire, Iowa, later in life, and at the time of his death in 1908, owned nine hundred and seventy-four acres in Harrison and Pottawattamie counties. He was a member of the church of Latter-Day Saints and the Masonic fraternity. Orsan Stoker's wife, the mother of Miss Julia, was born in 1847, in Holt county, Missouri, the daughter of Perry [Omen] and Hannah (Smith) Graybill, the latter of whom was married three times [Perry being first husband]. She is now living on the old home place. Julia Stoker attended the eight grades of the Yorkshire school and has always remained on the home farm. She now manages all of her mother's interests and looks after all her affairs. Miss Stoker owns one hundred and fifty-seven acres of land, near Persia, in Washington township. She is very much in love with the work that has fallen to her lot to perform and is very competent for this work. She is a member of the church of Latter-Day Saints, well known in the community where she lives, and widely admired for her many sterling qualities."

      4. The following partial quote is included in the biography of Stephen Smith, brother of this individual, per FHL film 934962, items 3 and 4, "History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa," by Field and Reed, 1907, pp. 1066-1067 [see notes for Stephen Smith in this database for full quotation]: "Stephen Smith, now living retired but still residing on his farm on section 27, Grove township, came to Pottawattamie county about the 1st of November, 1847. On this day he arrived in Council Bluffs, where he spent the winter. In the following April his father arrived in Macedonia township, bringing his family with him, and there he built the first house within what is now the borders of the township. John Smith, the father, resided there for eight years or more, and in the fall of 1853 or 1854 became a resident of Grove township, settling on section 8, where he continued to reside until his death occurred, in 1870, when he was 72 years of age... His birth had occurred in North Carolina and he had resided for some time in Indiana prior to coming to Iowa. The wife, who bore the maiden name of Elizabeth Martha Koonts, was born in Indiana, and from that state they removed to Adams county, Illinois, where the death of Mrs. Smith occurred, in 1840. Stephen Smith was born in Henry county, Indiana, January 28, 1836. His father wedded a second time, having wedded Miss Sarah Winegar in Adams county, Illinois, after losing his first wife. She accompanied her husband to Pottawattamie county and died here in 1882 [error; should be 1880]. By the two marriages there were seven sons and six daughters. Those of the family who came to Pottawattamie county were: Mary, Patience, Hannah, Elizabeth, Lydia, Rhoda [error: Lydia Rhoda is one individual and not two], Anna, Stephen, Joseph, Hiram, Carlos and Abraham. [Note: I believe Anna being included in this list to be an error in that it appears she died in Indiana as an infant.] Two brothers of the family died in early Childhood. Of the children Stephen, Lydia, and Abraham are still living, the sister being a resident of Cheyenne county, Kansas, while the brother makes his home in northwestern Nebraska. Stephen Smith was eleven years of age when he came with his father to Pottawattamie county..."

      5. The book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 90-91: "Cooking for such a large family presented its problems. Over a dozen loaves of bread were made at one time, and a half dozen pies. Hannah commented later in life, she never wanted to make another pie."

      6. Oman family history mentioned in the book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 107+, has the following biographies of Orson Stoker, son of Eller and Margaret (Judd) Stoker, who married Elizabeth Oman: "Orson... grew up on the family farm in Garner Township. In 1863, when 20 years old, he bought government land at $7.00 an acre in Harrison County, Washington Township, section 32. Andrew Graybill, William Graybill, William Spears and Orson bought 320 acres in one body and helped one another clear the land. In 1867, he built a log house where he brought his new bride, Betty Oman, the following January. The oldest five children were born in this log house on Mosquito Creek, and Jess commented later it had quite a number of cracks, requiring one to shake the snow off of the quilts in the morning if it had snowed in the night. In 1879, Orson built the big family home just west of the cabin. The road at this time ran east and west and the house stood east of the present Highway 64 and across the road from William Darrington's home now. Because of his many daughters and numerous men on the premises, the second story was separated into male and female sleeping quarters by a solid wall, with separate stairways from each side. Because of the many out buildings, elevators and granaries, strangers often stopped at the farm thinking they had reached Yorkshire. Orson owned more than 1000 acres in Harrison County when he died in 1908 from an infectious carbuncle on the neck. He had diabetes, as did many of his children. Elizabeth Massie Oman, or Omen, as it is sometimes spelled, was born in Lexington, Lafayette County, Missouri, in 1847, the first child born to Perry and Hannah Oman. A number of babies born to Latter Day Saint parents were born in Lafayette County, so there was probably a pocket of church members there. Two years later Betty's younger sister was born in Holt County, Mo. The Missouri census, taken in Lafayette County on August 26th, 1850, lists Perry as 26 years old, born in Illinois and a farmer by occupation. Hannah was 22, Elizabeth 3 ½ and Eliza ½. In the summer of 1851, the family moved to Pottawattamie County, Iowa, where Perry soon died. He may be buried in the old Mormon Cemetery, now Fairview in Council Bluffs, of the Stoker-Graybill Cemetery east of the Bluffs, or in Wheeler's Grove, where many Smiths were living, including Hannah's father, in a large Mormon community. I find only two other Omans at this time in the area, both in Council Bluffs, during the 1850 census. Eliza Oman, age 35, was perhaps a relative since Perry named a daughter Eliza, and next door to her was George Oman, who was a leader of a group of Latter Day Saints who traveled on to Utah. Betty's younger sister Eliza Annette was called 'Net.' When Net was 16 she met George Tucker at a dance in Council Bluffs, and they were married three weeks later. The Tucker family had come to Council Bluffs, then called Kanesville, in 1849. The first night of arrival they camped outside of town and the father was killed trying to stop house thieves from stealing the horses. The mother and a younger brother contacted smallpox later and died, leaving George and a sister, orphans. In 1861, when 17, George volunteered in the Fourth Iowa Infantry, Company B. He served in the following battles: Pea Ridge, Chick Bayou, Arkansas Post, Jackson, Champion Hill, Vicksburg, Big Black River, Dalton, Taylor's Ridge, Mission Ridge, Columbia River, Bentonville, the Atlanta campaign, the march to the sea, and the campaign that ended in Johnston's surrender. After the war he delivered oxen and wagons to Denver, returning with cattle. Returning from such a drive in the midst of a violent snow storm, he found a dance in progress in Council Bluffs. Dances had been discontinued during the war years, which made one quite an event after the war. George went to the dance and met Net. They never had children but were dear aunt and uncle to all of Orson and Betty's children. They lived their entire married life within a few miles of Neola. In the early years of marriage they lived in a log cabin on Mosquito Creek near Yorkshire, the last few years they lived in Neola, where George was the banker. The Stoker look is a familiar phrase to us who have it, but I was surprised to find that photographs show it was the Smith women who had it. Maybe it is really a Smith look, or an Eller look, of a Koons look, but wherever it came from, Grandma Betty Stoker had it." More on Orson Children: "Orson used to bring home bolts of material, so each family member had a dress or a shirt made out of the same material. He also brought barrels of clams and my grandmother said as she walked in the smoke house she could hear hundreds of clams clicking shut when the light hit. They were all excellent cooks, good eaters, hard workers, but would drop everything for a good ridge game. They had as much fun at 70 as at 17. When the grandchildren were ready for high school, which is in Neola, they moved in with Grandma Stoker, who had moved to Neola in her later years. There were times when she had as many as six teenagers boarding with her..." [The book lists 10 children born of this couple with numerous photographs. Three of the photos are especially noteworthy since they are of Hannah Smith - one taken just after her marriage with George Graybill, one with her second husband, James Sexton, taken during the Civil War, and one as an older woman with three generations of descendants.]

      7. Her family with James Sexton is remarked upon in he book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 110-111: "James Sexton was born in Ireland, came to America when nine years of age. Hannah was a widow with two children when they married; after James' death during the Civil War, she was again a widow, with six children [four from James]:
      1. Arminta Sexton, b. 7 Sep 1856 at Pottawattamie Co., IA; d. 20 Apr 1945; m. John W. Downs.
      2. Emily Sexton, b. Pott. Co., m. Willis Downs.
      3. John Sexton, m. Fannie Downs.
      4. James Sexton, b. Eva Heath."
      FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 125-140 adds a fifth child between John and James by the name of George. Also notes that John was known as John "Jack" and Arminta is "M. Araminta." The three oldest married into the Downs family: John, Willis and Fannie respectively.

      8. FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, p. 150: Notes children of first marriage to Mr. Oman or Omen:
      Nettie Oman (or Omen) m. George Tucker.
      Betty Oman (or Omen) m. O. Stoker.
      Children of second marriage:
      Elizabeth Sexton, aged 13 in 1860, child prob. of first marriage.
      Eliza Sexton, aged 11 in the 1860 census. Same prob. as Jeannette shown in family records.
      M. (probably Araminta) Sexton, aged 6 in 1860. She prob. married John Downs.
      Emily Sexton, aged 4 in 1860.
      John (Jack) Sexton, aged 2 in 1860.
      George Sexton, aged 2 mo. in 1860.
      James Sexton."

      9. FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 72-75, extensive downline of this family is in the book: "George Washington Graybill, b. 25/26 Jun 1821, Bloomfield Twp., Jackson Co., OH; d. 5 Mar 1900, Pottawattamie Co., IA; md. (1) 1841, Bloomfield Twp., Jackson Co., IN to Mary Smith; md. (2) 1862 to Hannah Smith... Mary Smith was b. 16 Sep 1823, Henry Co., IN; d. Feb 1860, Pottawattamie Co., IA. Mary and Hannah were sisters. Mary died just 3 weeks after Lydia was born. Hannah was b. 1828, Wayne co., IN; d. 16 Feb 1903, Underwood, Potta. Co., IA; bur. Potta. Co., IA. Mary's sisters and various other relatives were living in the same county. George was 16 when his family left Ohio for Missouri. He was living in Kane Twp., Potta. Co., IA in 1870. George's and Mary's children were Hannah, Brigham Young, George Henry, Polly Purley, John 'Jack', Isaiah, Mattie 'Massie', Sarah, Catherine and Lydia. George's and Hannah's children were Julia Ann, Samuel and Zenis." [Note there are many mistakes with this author's report including both marriage dates and places as well as birth and death dates for Hannah.

      10. A partial quote from the book "Our Stoker Family Histories 1731-1881," Vol. II, comp. and ed. by Elayne Stoker, 2004, printed by Stevenson's Genealogy Center, Provo, UT, from an article entitled: "Polly Stoker":
      "Vivian Graybill, of Independence, Missouri, has worked on the Graybill genealogy for many years and since he plans to publish a book with a great amount of detailed information I will not list the names of their complete families. I will note the names of Michael and Polly's children and how they relate to other families in this book. I do have most family names if anyone wants to check it. [Kerry's note: the author lists each child and grandchild of Polly. See her file for the complete listing. I include only the immediate family in this individual's note.]
      "George Washington Graybill, b. 6/25/1821, Jackson Co., Ohio. m. Mary Smith. Mary died Feb. 16, 1860, when 35 years of age.
      1. Brigham Graybill, b. 5/10/1840
      2. Hannah Graybill, b. 8/5/1842
      3. George Graybill, b. 1847

      m. (2) Hannah Smith Oman Sexton, the twice widowed sister to Mary. Hannah had two children by Perry Oman, one my great grandmother, and four children by James Sexton. These families are listed in the Smith section. She had three children after this marriage. Cooking for such a large family presented its problems. Over a dozen loaves of bread were made at one time, and a half dozen pies. Hannah commented later in life, she never wanted to make another pie. Hannah and George lived by Underwood and they are both buried in the cemetery west of town.
      11. Julia Ann Graybill, b. Jan. 24, 1864
      12. Samuel Graybill, b. Oct. 24, 1865
      13. Zenis Graybill, b. Mar. 14, 1867"

      BIRTH:
      1. Per gravestone.

      2. The book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, p. 101, uses a variant dates of 16 Sep 1827 at Wayne Co., IN and death date of 16 Feb 1903 at Underwood, IN. Even though Doris is a descendant of Hannah, neither date jives with the tombstone. I use the tombstone since Doris' dates are undocumented. As far as Wayne County, IN as birthplace, it is as likely as Henry Co., IN which I use based upon the biography of her father John Smith [quoted in his notes] - he lived in Henry Co. at about this time. Neither birthplace location is documented and is subject to change based on further research.

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Per FHL book 977.771 V2p" Pottawattamie Co., IA Early Marriages 1848-1869": "Geo. W. Graybill and Hannah Sexton, 15 Feb 1863." Also confirmed because of children's ages in 1880 census.

      2. Per 18 May 2002 Ancestry.com database "doigk," first marriage was to Perry Oman with two children born [Nettie Oman and Betty Oman]. Second marriage was to James Sexton with 7 children [Elizabeth, Eliza, M.. Emily, John, George, James]. Geo. Graybill was 3rd marriage. According to Oman/Smith descendant Doris Lewis in her book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, p. 101, Perry Oman died in 1851 in Pottawattamie Co., IA. Betty Oman's full name was Elizabeth Massie Oman and she married Orson Hyde Stoker; Doris Lewis gives an extensive downline of Orson and Betty with many family photos as well.

      3. Mentioned in the FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 125-140, mentions that James came to America at age 9 from Ireland and that he died during the Civil War.

      DEATH:
      1. Per gravestone.

      2. Research note: I did check FHL film 1477205 "Pottawattamie Death Records, 1898-" for Hannah's death record. I did not find it; perhaps it wasn't reported.

      3. The book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, p. 101, uses a variant dates of 16 Sep 1827 at Wayne Co., IN and death date of 16 Feb 1903 at Underwood, IN. Even though Doris is a descendant of Hannah, neither date jives with the tombstone. I use the tombstone since Doris' dates are undocumented.

      BURIAL:
      1. The book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, pp. 90-91: "Hannah and George lived by Underwood and they are both buried in the cemetery west of town."

      2. Per copy "Cemetery Book, Vol. II, Book 2" of the "1980 Botna Valley East Pottawattamie County Iowa Genealogical Society" booklet provided by the Council Bluffs Library of Pottawattamie Co., Iowa which lists burials of the H.G. Fisher Cemetery which is located on the west edge of the town of Underwood, Norwalk Township, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa. In this cemetery are several related Graybills as follows:
      Row 2 in the following sequential stone order:
      Sexton, Nellie Fern 1910-1973
      (Sexton), Fannie 1872-1937 Mother
      (Sexton), John 1857-1934 Father [probably son of James and Hannah (Smith) Sexton - Hannah later marries Geo. W. Graybill and is also buried here]
