The Legacy of David Bancroft Fackrell and His Family



David B. Fackrell and Sons



This biography begins with the history of James Fackrell, Sr., in North Petherton, Somerset, England, who came to the United States as part of the British Army in the War of 1812. The main focus of the history is the life and family of David Bancroft Fackrell, who was born to James and Amy Crumb Fackrell in 1820, in Grafton, Vermont. This history describes his adventures as he moved west where he was reunited with his family in Bountiful, Utah, in 1850. He settled in West Bountiful, Utah, where he farmed, married Susannah Sumner and Hannah Proctor, and began raising two families. In 1868 he was called to the Muddy Mission in what is now southern Nevada, a location described by Brigham Young as a "God-forsaken place." From there he went to Long Valley, Utah, where he was one of the leaders in the Orderville United Order, the most successful of Brigham Young's United Orders. After the breakup of the Order, he farmed in the Orderville area until 1897, and then homesteaded in Riverside, Idaho, along with other members of his family. He died in his 89th year in 1909.
