BURIAL_PLACE:
BUT...
Dearing descendant Kristen Moore has seen and photographed her tombstone in
Salt Lake City Cemetery and has confirmed that she is buried there. That
tombstone is a stone dating to the period. It is apparent that she is buried in
Salt Lake City Cemetery and the modern stone in the Fayette Cemetery is a
mistake.

BIRTH-DEATH-PARENTS-BAPTISM-ENDOWMENT-SEALING_PARENTS:
IGI
NAME: Her tombstone reads "Ann Dearing
Metcalf." Her sealing record has Ann DEARING. Her endowment entry in the IGI has her name
Ann DEARING, but that entry gives her
father as Francis BILLTON. That
entry is extracted from the temple record, where she would have used the name
she was going by at the time. Perhaps
DEARING was a first husband? Also, the
same IGI entry has her mother's name Mary LEE, but I wonder if her last name is
actually LEACH. In the late 1880's &
early 1890's the Metcalfs did a lot of temple work in

MARRIAGE_1: (Dearing) e-mail from 3rd great
grand daughter Kristen Cowburn Moore:
Ann Bilton and William Dearing were married. I am their ggg
granddaughter. Harriet Dearing her
daughter was married to my gg grandpa Henry Thomas Cowburn. Both of
their 2 sons were married to my great grandma (Theresa marion
Buller).
William Dearing Cowburn married her first and
they had my grandpa and 2 other siblings.
Then william died when my grandpa was
two. Two years later his brother Henry Ridsdill Cowburn married Theresa
so the children could keep the Cowburn name. I live
in
Why am I confident that the Ann Dearing who
married John Edward Metcalf (and whose father's last name was Bilton) is the same person as the Ann Bilton
who married William Dearing?
**One of her Dearing grandchildren (Janet's son) bears the middle name of Bilton
**Her daughter Harriet Dearing Cowburn's death
certificate (died in Salt Lake City, Utah) lists her parents as William
Dearing, born England and Ann Bilton, born England
**Proxy temple work her Dearing children did for her give the same birthdate & birthplace that she gave when she was
sealed to John E Metcalf.
SPOUSE_1: (William DEARING) John Gardiner
indicates that, though he is not directly related, he has a Dearing family
connection in the area around Leven. He says: " I have a note of a William
Dearing born 1817 to Thomas/Jane in Sculcotes and an
assumed death of S[eptember Quarter] 1876 age 59 [Civil Reg] ref.
Sept Quarter 1876 Sculcotes 9d 129." FamilySearch has a death date for him of 17 August 1876,
contributed by a Dearing descendant.

Her husband William Dearing died in
In 1879 she was baptized a member of the
I don't find Ann in the 1880 or 1900 census, but in the Salt Lake, Utah 1900
