Biography
Edward Partridge was the grandson of Massachusetts Congressman Oliver Partridge, Esq., and a member of a family noted for commercial, social, political, and military leadership in Western Massachusetts.
Partridge owned a hat-making factory and retail store in Painesville, Ohio. He was sent to New York in 1830 by a group of Painesville citizens to investigate the Latter Day Saint movement. He was baptized a member of the church in or near Seneca Lake, New York on December 11, 1830, and upon his return to Painesville discovered that his wife had also become a convert.[1]
Church service
Two months later in Kirtland, Ohio, Partridge became the first to hold the prominent position of Bishop and Presiding Bishop. In this position he helped lead the Mormon settlement in Jackson County, Missouri and managed land distribution under the law of consecration. He was tarred and feathered by an anti-Mormon mob in July 1833, then forced to move to Clay County, Missouri, followed by Caldwell County in 1836. During 1835 he served a mission in Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, and Indiana, then entered into another mission in New York and New England. Following the 1838 Mormon War he was jailed in Richmond, Missouri, then in 1839 he was expelled from the state.[2]

Partridge expended much of his wealth in support of the movement before he died in late May, 1840 at Nauvoo, Illinois. Joseph Smith noted that Partridge's death could be attributed to the stress and persecution which he and other Mormon settlers in western Missouri were subjected to in the 1830s.[3]
Partridge was the de facto Presiding Bishop of the Church from February 4, 1831 until his death. However, the exact title "Presiding Bishop" did not come into usage until shortly after Partridge's death, when subordinate Bishops began to be appointed his successors during the Nauvoo era.
Ancestors and descendants
His family includes the early American poets Rev. Edward Taylor and Anne Bradstreet. His forebears also include a number of notable Anglo-American religious leaders including the Rev. John Cotton, Dean of Emmanuel College, Cambridge who was the spiritual leader of the New England colonies; Rev. Solomon Stoddard, one of the most influential colonial ministers and the grandfather of the famous Rev. Jonathan Edwards and ancestor of United States Vice President Aaron Burr.
Partridge's forebears include a number of significant early political leaders in Colonial American and early U.S. history including Connecticut Governor Thomas Welles, Connecticut and Massachusetts Governor John Haynes, Connecticut Governor George Wyllys, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Dudley, and Massachusetts Governor Simon Bradstreet. His daughter Emily Partridge married the future first Territorial Governor of Utah, Brigham Young. His daughter Eliza Maria Partridge married Utah Territorial Legislator Amasa Mason Lyman, delegate to the California Constitutional Convention and leader of the first organized Anglo-American colony in Southern California and founder of the Salt Lake Tribune. His son Edward Partridge Jr. was a member of the Utah Territorial Legislature and a delegate to the Utah Constitutional Convention.

The purpose of this blog is to publish pictures of my ancestors and to preserve those pictures outside of my home in a format accessible to many.
I hope that these pictures will be found by those who share a common ancestry and that this blog will be the beginning of new communications about the faces from our common past. I will not publish pictures or identify relationships of living individuals.
Since I started this blog, I have been contacted by a couple of family members and additional personal information has come to light. I will be adding personal histories and journals as they come to my attention. If you wish to contact me about this information my email is dsrasmus@frontier.com

At one point in time she was directed by Brigham Young to sell the land in Independence, Missouri that was in the name of her deceased husband, Edward Partridge. Her husband had been bishop of the Church and had land in his name that belonged to the church. She was the only legally authorized agent to sell this land and his heir.
She spent her last years in the Millard County area with her children. She died 08 un 1878 in Oak City, Millard Co., Utah.
She wrote the following Acrostic for her son Edward.
Each day let all your actions be
Devoid of strife or enmity
Walk in the way thy father trod
Attend his council which was good
Remember in thy youth, thy God
Desire to know his holy word
Prepare thyself thy place to fill
And seek to know thy Master's will
Repent of all thy faults each day
Try to pursue the heavenly way
Refuse not counsel from thy friend
Improve thy time til time shall end
Depart from sin, make truth thy choice
Grim death may come with all his force
even that day thou mayest rejoice
