There are many lineages purporting to go back to Adam and I have  found

several for our family, but always there are those who dispute them. It is

of course very likely that mistakes have been made when going back so far.

 

Here is one, the Warren line. And others say that no known parents of

Richard Warren are known.

                     You will note your descent from 8 of the Sureties who

forced King John to sign lthe Magna Charta. The Sureties were astonishingly

inter-related. Among them were several instances of father and son,

father-in-law and son-in-law, brothers and cousins.  They had a common descent

from Charllllllemagne. 20 of the 25 were related in degree of second cousin or

nearer. Of these 25 Surety Barons, only 17 have descendants living to the

present day. (It is quite likely other of the 17 are also our ancestors. Note

that King John is an ancestor.

I am writing this before starting to enter sheets dealing with royalty. We

are all of the Royal line of Adam. Lineage has been of utmost importance

in God's dealings with man. Throughout the scriptures a very careful record

is given of lineages. I rather think it is just as important to us. It came

to me that we might be required to be able to state who we are when we have

left this world and are entering the next. Certainly most of us will not be

able to give a long lineage, but I am sure we will need to know our immediate

ancestry, and have some idea of the outline of our lineage. As members of the

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints we are told of our lineage when we

have our patriarchal blessings. Either that we are of the lineage of Ephriam

or other brothers of his father Joseph.

 

I am therefore copying the following article which I think is important

for all of us.

 

 

                    The Children of Ephriam

       

                    By Archibald F. Bennett

 

 

One of the marvelous developments of the latter days, to which all members

of the Church are looking forward with high anticipation, will be the coming

of the time when the native races of America, the Indians or Lamanites, will

learn of the noble forefathers from whom they are descended, and of the bless-

ings they inherit because of that lineage

 

The Prophet Joseph Lehi, glimpsing down the vista of many centuries, foretold

this time:

 

    "And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they are of the

house of Israel, and that they are the covenant people of the Lord; and then

shall they know and come to the knowledge of their forefathers."

 

The period cannot new be far distant when these tribes will discover with joy

that they are indeed descended from Abraham and Jacob and Joseph; and that they

shall assist in the fulfilment of the covenant the Lord made with these fathers of old that in their seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. For this

covenant, we are told, "should be fulfilled in the latter days." (I Nephi 15:18.)

 

Many Latter-day Saints not of Lamanite descent, however, in looking forward to

these dramatic discoveries, lose sight of the fact that equally wonderful pre-

dictions have been made concerning them and their own lineage; and that they too

are destined, if they prove faithful in obeying the commands of God, to learn of

the long lines of their progenitors and find that the chain of life extends back

from them to the noblest and choicest men and women who have ever lived. How aptly

the words of Mormon apply to us, as well as to the descendants of father Lehi:

 

    "Know ye that ye are of the house of Israel....Know ye that ye must come to

the knowledge of your fathers....and if ye believe this, ye will know concerning

your fathers, and also the marvellous works which were wrought by the power of

God among them; And ye will also know that ye are a remnant of the seed of Jacob;

therefore ye are numbered among the people of the first covenant." Mormon  7, 2, 5, 9, 10.

 

We have long boldly proclaimed to the world that the members of this Church are

of the chosen seed of Israel. For this we have no less authority than the revel-

ations of the Lord lhimself. He has said, "For ye are the children of Israel, and

of the seed of Abraham."  (Doc. and Cov. 103:17.)  The Prophet Joseph Smith was

declared to be of the loins of Abraham, a descendant of Joseph who was sold into

Egypt, and  "a pure Ephraimite."

 

Brigham Young once taught:

 

    "You have heard Joseph say that the people did not know him; he had his eyes

on the relation to blood-relations. Some have supposed that he meant spirit, but

it was the blood-relation. This is it that he referred to. His descent from Joseph

that was sold into Egypt was direct, and the blood was pure in him. That is why

the Lord chose him and we are pure when this blood strain from Ephriam comes down pure. The decrees of the Almighty will be exalted--that blood which was in him

was pure and he had the sole right and lawful power, as he was the legal heir to

the blood that has been on the earth and has come down through a pure lineage. The

union of various ancestors kept that blood pure." (Gen. Mag. Vol 2, p 107.)

 

Joseph Smith declared that wherever the Church was established there should be

a Patriarch chosen, "even the oldest man of the blood of Joseph or the seed of

Abraham," to bestow patriarchal blessings upon the Saints and among other things,

make known their true lineage. Joseph Smith, Sr., was the first Patriarch of the

church, which position was his by right of birth.

 

From him the birthright and the office of Patriarch passed to his eldest surviving

son, Hyrum Smith. In blessing him, Joseph Smith Sr. used these words. "I now ask my

Heavenly Father to bless thee with the same blessings with which Jacob blessed his

son Joseph, for thou art his true descendant, and thy posterity shall be numbered

with the house of Ephriam."

 

The right of patriarchal seniority is now vested in Patriarch Hyrum G. Smith,

great-grandson of Hyrum Smith. In a recent sermon he said:

 

    "It is the policy and order of the Church at the present time to have at

least one patriarch in each stake, who is authorized to bless the members of

the stake, and declare their lineage in a similar way to the manner in which

Jacob blessed his grandsons, and his own sons. At the present time in the Church

the great majority of those receiving their blessings are declared to be of the

house and lineage of Ephriam,. while many others are designated as members of

the house of Manasseh; but up to the present time we have discovered that those

who are leaders in Israel, no matter from where they come, no matter out of what

nation they have come, are of Ephriam; while the blood of Manasseh is found in the

tribes and nations of the Indians of North and South America. They are great, they

are wonderfully blessed, but Ephriam seems to prevail in the greater blessings, in

the greater responsibilities, and in faithfulness to the Lord's work." (Quoted

from "The Day of Ephriam," Gen. Mag., Vol 30, p. 124:)

 

                     Ephriam Mixed Among the Nations

 

Those members of the Church pronounced as mostly of the lineage of Ephriam, have

been gathered from many different nations and from all parts of the world. This

is in accord with the prediction of the Prophet Hosea, who looked into the future

and declared, "Ephriam he had mixed himself among the people." (Hosea 7:8.) On this point President Brigham Young explained:

 

    "Israel is dispersed among all the nations of the earth, the blood of Ephriam

is mixed with the blood of all the earth. Abraham's seed is mingled with the rebell-

ious seed through the whole world of mankind."  (Discourses, p 669.)

 

    "We are now gathering the children of Abraham who have come through the loins

of Joseph and his sons, more especially through Ephriam, whose children are mixed

among all the nations of the earth. (The sons of Ephriam are wild and uncultivated,

unruly, ungovernable. The spirit in them is turbulent and resolute; they are the

Anglo-Saxon race, and they are upon the face of the whole earth, bearing the spirit

of rule and dictation, to go forth from conquering to conquer.)  They search wide

creation and scan every nook and corner of this eaarth to find out what is upon and

within it. I see a congregation of them before me today. No hardship will discourage

these men; they will penetrate the deepest wildsd and overcome almost insurmount-

able difficulties to develop the treasures of the earth, to further their indomit-

able spirit of adventure."  (Discourses, p 670.)

 

    "Ephriam has become mixed with all the nations of the earth, and it is Ephriam

that is gathering together, it is Ephriam that I have been searaching for all the

days of my preaching, and that is the blood which ran in my veins when I embraced

the gospel."  (Journal of Discourses, 2:268-269.)

 

                         Truth Will Prevail

 

These straightforward declarations once provoked in the world only merriment and ridicule. Today the idea that the Anglo-Saxon is descended from Israel has many

prominent champions, and volumes of evidence have been produced in support of it.

 

It is proposed to show, in the light of present day knowledge, that the foregoing

statements of our leaders were not imaginary and far-fetched, but in entire agree-

ment with facts now recognized as well established

 

The plan will be to trace the story of the children of Ephriam down through the captivity to the point where their history merges with that of the tribes which

settled northern Europe and became the progenitors of the people of Scandinavia,

Great Britian, Germany, France, etc. Then through some of the older existing pedi-

grees the chain of life will be followed from descendants of these tribes down to

individuals living in typical nations of Europe; from these persons the various

lines will be traced till they unite in a Puritan emigrant who sailed for New

"Prophecy is but history reversed."  Hence a scrutiny of the prophecies made pertaining to Ephriam will enable us to reconstruct much of the history of that

tribe.

 

Unto Jacob, grandfather of Ephriam, many things were made known concerning the

later history of the sons of Joseph. He predicted that they should "grow into

a multitude in the midst of the earth."  Of Manasseh he said, "He also shall be-

come a people, and he also shall become great;" while of Ephriam he predicted,

"but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall be-

come a multitude of nations."  (Gen. 48:16, 19.)

 

But there was to come a time when all but a remnant of the seed of Joseph should

be destroyed.

 

"Let us remember the words of Jacob, before his death; for behold, he saw that a

remnant of the coat of Joseph was preserved, and had not decayed. And he said, Even as this remnant of garment of my son's hath been preserved, so shall a remnant of

the seed of my son's be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself,

while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish, even as the remnant of his

garment."  (Alma 46:24-26.)

 

With Joseph the Lord made a covenant that he would preserve his seed forever; and

that from among his descendants the Lord would raise up a righteous branch unto

the house of Israel, which was to be broken off, but to be remembered in the cov-

enants of the Lord in the latter days.  Joseph was further promised by the Lord

that in time one of his posterity would be raised up as a choice seer, who would

bring to the children of Joseph a knowledge of the covenants made with their fathers

in the latter days. "And his name shall be called after me; and it shall be after

the name of his father. And he shall be like unto me; for the thing which the Lord

shall bring forth by his hand, by the power of the Lord lshall bring my people

unto salvation.  (11 Nephi 3:5-8, 11-16.)

 

Many other prophecies were recorded by Joseph of old, and these are yet to be

made known. When that time comes we shall certainly learn much concerning his

posterity.

 

"And now, I, Nephi, speak concerning the prophecies of which my father hath spoken,

concerning Joseph, who was carried into Egypt. For behold, he truly prophesied concerning all his seed. And the prophecies which he wrote, there are not many

greater. And he prophesied concerning us, and our future generations; and they are written upon the plates of brass."  (11 Nephi 4: 1-2.

 

These plates of brass, brought by Lehi from Jerusalem contained also a record

of the genealogy of the ancestors of Laban and Lehi back to Joseph. Lehi himself

predicted "That these plates of brass should go forth unto all nations, kindreds,

tongues and people who were of his seed. Wherefore, he said that these plates of

brass should never perish; neither should they be dimmed any more by age."

(1 Nephi 5:18, 19.)

 

When Joseph died at the age of 110 years, he had lived to see Ephriam's children

of the third generation. The eldest son of Ephriam was Shuthelah, and other sons were Bered and Tahan. Some of Ephriam's family were slain by the men of Gath in Egypt who came to steal their cattle out of the land of Goshen. "And Ephriam their

father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.

 

At the first enumeration taken of the Israaelites by tribes, in the wilderness

of Sinai after the exodus from Egypt, in the days of Moses, the tribe of Ephriam

contained 40,500 males over twenty years of age able to bear arms. But at a cen-

sus forty years later their number had decreased to 32,500. At the first count

Elishama, son of Ammihud, the son of Laadan, who was descended from Shuthelah,

represented the tribe of Tphriam. Elishama was father to Nun, whose son Joshua

became leader of all Israel after Moses.

 

From the day of Joshua the tribe of Ephriam occupied a prominent place in Israel,

especially after the separation of the northern tribes from Judah and Benjamin. At times the term Ephriam is used by the prophets to indicate the whole of the ten

tribe of Israel. But even where the name is used in the more inclusive sense, it

must of necessity refer also to the tribe of Ephriam which was a part of that

nation.

 

"From the time of the revolt, the history of Ephriam is in two senses the

history of the kingdom of Israel, since not only did the tribe become a king-

dom, but the kingdom embraced little besides the tribe....There are few things

more important in the sacred story than the descent of this haughty and jealous

tribe from the culminating point at which it stood when it entered on the fairest

portion of the Land of Promise--the chief sanctuary and the chief settlement of

the nation within its limits, its leader the leader of the whole people--down

to the sudden captivity and total oblivion which closed its career." (Smith: Bible

Dictionary, p 283.)

 

While the Ten Tribes ripened in iniquity, heedless of the repeated warnings of

the prophets, nation after nation was falling before the military power of Assyria.

In B. C. 745 the Assyrian crown was seized by a military adventurer named Pul or

Pula, who then assumed the name of Tiglath-pileser 1V  He marched against Menshem,

King of Israel, wrested part of his dominions from him, and compelled the Israelites

to pay tribute. Later, "in the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser

king of Assyria." and took a number of cities including some of the strongholds of

Ephriam and all the land of Naphtali and carried off other captives," even the

Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them

unto Halah, and unto Habor, and Hora, and to the river Gozan, unto this day."

(11 Kings 15:19, 29; 1 Chron. 5:26.)  He chronicles his achievements in these

words: "The distant land of Beth-Khumri....the whole of its inhabitants I carried

away."  (Ragozin: Story of Assyria, p 232.)

 

Tiglath-pileser died in December, B.C. 727 and was succeeded by a certain Ulula,

who took the name of Shalmanser 1V. Hoshea was then king of Israel. "Against him

came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria;....and went up to Samaria, and besieged it

three years." During the siege he died or was murdered in December of the year

722, and the throne was seized by another general, Sargon.

 

"In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assuria took Samaria and carried Israel

away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor by the river of Gozan,

and in the cities of the Medes."  (11 Kings 17:6.)

 

In the district which was formerly the ancient kingdom of the Medes there is but

one important river, and today it is known as the river Ozen or Ousan. A map of

the period about 1000 A.D. shows this same river as Gozen, Uzen, thus identifying

it with the river Gozan of the captivity. Near this river are the towns Abhar and

Haru, doubtless the Habor (which in the Septuagint is spelled Abor) and Hara of

the Bible. Finally Halah (to the Septuagint Ala-e) is possibly the town of Ala-

mut on a tributary of the Ozen. (Milner: Israel's Wanderings, pp 42, 43.) So the

general scene of the captivity was an area southwest of the Caspian Sea, to the

east of the river Aras (formerely the Araxes.)

 

Excavators have found amid the ruins of Sargon's palace the annals of hisd con-

quests. One of the first entries is that:

 

"In the beginning of my reign I besieged, I took by the help of the god Shamash,

who gives me victory over my enemies, the city of Samaria  (ir-Samirina). 27,280

of its inhabitants I carried away....I took them to Assyria and put into their

places people whom my hand had conquered." (Ragozin, p 247; Sayce: "Ancient Civilizations and Their Vanished Glories." in Book of History, p 1575, Carpenter,

p 30.)

 

The punishment the captives were now forced to undergo had been vividly portrayed. Prophets had declared they should be oppressed and spoiled and crushed evermore;

serving their enemies in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in want of all

things; with a yoke of iron upon their necks. Their lives should hang in doubt;

their children should go into captivity; they should fear day and night. Their rulers should hate them. They should perish among the heathen, and the lands of

their enemies should eat them up. And they that were left alive should pine away

in the lands of their enemies (Deut. 28; Levi 26:17, 38.)

 

Yet to those who survived this terrible ordeal, deliverance from bondage was

promised, when they should be humbled sufficiently to accept the punishment for their iniquity--then would the Lord remember his covenants with their fathers.

 

"Oh my people that dwellest in Zion, he not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of

Egypt. For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction...And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall

be taken from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing."  (Isaiah 10:24, 25, 27.)

 

On the Nineveh marbles the story can be read that a people called Esak-ska (cf. Sakai, Saki-suna, Saxons) rebelled against the Assyrians about 670 B.C. or nearly

fifty years after the captivity. As the enemies of Assyria gathered against her,

doubtless many of the captives made their escape. Then the cruel oppressor fell.

Cyaxeres of Media led his legions against doomed Nineveh. After a lengthy seige

the city was taken, in B.C. 606, its ruler was slain,  its people carried into

captivity, and its palaces and temples burned.  "Assyria and its empire had passed

forever from the stage of history."

 

The fall of Nineveh, and the confusion of the times, afforded an opportunity

of escape. We can imagine how the captive Israelites gathered in their homes

between the Araxes and Gozan rivers, and in Armenia. The story of that escape is

told in the oft-quoted passage from Esdras or Ezra:

 

"They took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude

of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,

that there they might keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own

land. And they entered in at the narrow passages of the Euphrates. For the Most

High then showed signs for them, and held still the flood till they were passed

over. For through that country there was a great way to go, even of a year and a

half. And the same region is called Arsareth.  (11 Esdras 13:40-46.)

 

The path they followed seems indicated by certain names even today. A natural

route for them to take from their home east of the Araxes would lead them around

the north-eastern end of Lake Van, and through a pass in the mountains to the

eastern branch of the Euphrates. After following about fifty miles along its

right bank they would be obliged to cross this river, at a point accurately corr-

esponding to the "Narrow Passage" spoken of by Esdras. Another fifty miles and

they would cross the Araxes. Further on the route is a river named on some maps Israel-su (Israel river). Northward, in the Caucasus mountains, there is an

important pass known to this day as "the Gates of Israel."  (Milner: Israel's

Wanderings, p. 54; Weldon: Origin of the English, p. 50.)

 

The greater portion of this migration was complete by the latter part of the

6th century B. C. for Nephi declares that "there are many who are already lost

from the knowledge of those who are at Jerusalem. Yea, the more part of all the

tribes have been led away; and they are scattered to and fro upon the isles of

sea."  (1 Nephi 22:3-4.)

 

                    The Cimmerians and Scythians

 

From the identical region where the Ten Tribes were lost in captivity are

traced tribes whose descendants spread over Europe. Herodotus, the earliest Greek historian, about 450 B.C. minutely describes an ancient group of nomads whom he called "Scythians," which then inhabited the Crimea and the South Russian steppe

from the Don to the Dniester. Before them, in this same area, had formerely dwelt

the "Cimmerians." This last people had raised mounds there, but had by that date

migrated into Asia Minor, Armenia, and into the north and west of Europe. Hero-

dotus says the Cimmerians raised mounds over their kings, :which may be seen to

this day." So also was this custom followed among the Scythians. When a chieftan

died, with him were buried his horses, and all sorts of gold and silver vessels.

"A giantic sepulchral mound was heaped over all....Many such mounds....have been

found in the vicinity of the Dnieper and opened." (Herodotus, 1V,c,11; Schurz:

"The Scythians, Cimmerians and Sarmatians," an article in the Book of History,

p. 2446.)

 

From this area north of the Black Sea two great general waves of migration

spread over northern Europe. The first was that of the Cimmerians or Kelts;

the second that of the Scythians. From the first group have arisen the Cimbri

who attacked Rome, the Cymry or Welsh descended from the ancient Britons, the

Bretons of Brittany in France, the Gaelic Scots and the Irish. Some branches of

this race settled early in Scandinavia. From the Scythian stock have sprung the

Franks, the Gothic tribes which overthrew the Roman Empire and settled in Italy,

Spain, and northern Africa, the Anglo-Saxons, the Lowland Scotch, the Swedes,

Danes, Norwegians and Icelanders, the Germans, Flemish, Swiss and Dutch. (A

good summary of evidence for this classification is found in Sharon Turner's

"History of the Anglo-Saxons, Vol. 1, chapters 1, 3.) Thus the Cimmerians and

Scythians prove to be the ancestors of the nations of Northern Europe.

One branch of the Scythians was known as the Sakee. Our ancestors, the Saxons,

are held to be descended from them. Sharon Turner has written:

 

"The Saxons were a German or Teutonic, that is, a Gothic or Scythian tribe;

and of the various Scythian nations which have been recorded, the Sakae, or

Sacae, are the people from whom the descent of the Saxons may be inferred, with the least violation of probability." (p. 59.)

 

Choerilus, a Greek poet, calls them "the sheep-feeding Sacae, a people of

the Scythian race...truly they were a colony of nomads, a righteous race."

(Strabo, Bk. V11,c,3,No.9.) One branch of this people "got possession of the

most fertile tract in Aarmenia, which was called after their own name, Sacasene,"

equilevant in sound to Saxony. (Strabo, Bk. X1,c,8,No.4.) Ptolemy found a people

called Saxones living in the region from which the Saxons later came to England.

He says they were derived from the Sacae, who came, he states, from the country

of the Medes. Diodorus of Sicily says, "The Sacaea sprung from a people in Media,

who obtained a vast and glorious empire." The Scythians, formerly inconsiderable  and few, possessed a narrow region on the Araxes." (Diodorus Sicilus, p. 127.)

The same original home is given by Sharon Turner. "The country where the ancients

placed the Sacae and Sacassani....lies between the Arras and the Kur, which are

the ancient Araxes and Cyrnus, near the northern parts of Persia."

(Col. 1, 295-6, 202.)

 

Curiously enough, this region on the Aras or Araxes river, in Media, in Armenia

and in Persia, is the very district to which the Ten Tribes of Israel were

carried captive. Among these the foremost tribe was Ephriam.

 

                      Proofs from Archaeology

 

In Sweden and on the shores of the Baltic are found many huge burial mounds,

raised by the people there in ancient times over their dead. "In Tanum parish, Bohuslan, alone there are more than 2000 mounds, the largest being over 300

feet in circumference; in Upsala nearly 600; at Ultana 700. The greatest number

found in any one spot is east of the ancient Birka Bjorko, where there are over

1000 of them."

 

From Scandinavia to the Baltic and thence southward, along the valley of the

river Dnieper in Russia down to its mouth in the Black Sea, these mounds may

be followed, marking the path of migration of some powerful people. The traveler,

Dr. E. J. Clarke, describes the vast plains north of the caucasus in southern

Russia as being literally covered by immense numbers of mounds. When any of these have been opened, they prove to be tombs, "beautiful in workmanship and indicating

great skill in the art of building. ....In the toombs are found pottery, jewelry,

trinkets, bracelets, gold, and precious stones." (Poole: Fifty Reasons Why the

Anglo-Saxons are Israelities, p. 30; Carpenter: The Israelites Found, p. 30.)

 

According to Du Chaillu, the ornaments and relics found in these mounds near

the Black Sea are "remarkably alike" and  "exactly similar" to those found in

the mounds of Scandinavia and the Baltic.  (The Viking Age, Vol 1. pp 216, 299.)

 

It now remains to ascertain the identity of the ancient inhabitants who built

these remarkable mounds, whom Herodotus calls the Chimmerians and Scythians.

 

                  Who Were These Mound-Builders of Europe

 

These mounds are especially numerous in the vicinity of the Crimea and the Kuban river. Ninety-one mounds have been counted all in view at once. On the Crimean

Peninsula is a "Valley of Jehosaphat" and a fortress called "Israel's fortress," which is surrounded by hundreds of these tombs. The Russian Archaeological Soc-

iety has made extensive excavations into these mounds and has unearthed hundreds

of epitaphs of tombs, some of them of great antiquity, going back to pre-Christian

times. The inscriptions are in the Hebrew language, and give indisputable proof

of the identity of the people who made them. Here are translations of some of

them which were found in the Crimea, and are now preserved in the Museum of

Petrograd:

 

"I am Jehudi, the son of Moses, the son of Jehudah the mighty, a man of the tribe

of Naphtali, of the family of Shimli, who was carried captive in the captivity of

Hoshea, King of Israel, with the tribe of Simeon, together with other tribes of

Israel."  (Translated by Rev. Stern.)

 

"To one of the faithful in Israel, Abraham-ben-Mar-Sinchah of Kerich, in the year of our exile 1682, when the envoys of the prince of Rosh Mesech came from Kiou to our

master, Chazar Prince David, Halah, Habor and Gozan, to which places Tiglath Pileser

had exiled the sons of Reuben and Gad and the Half Tribe of Manasseh, and permitted

them to settle there, and from which they have been scattered throughout the entire

East, even as far as China."

 

"This is the grave of Buki, the son of Ischak (Issac), the priest.  May his rest

be in Eden at the time of the deliverance of Israel. In the year 702 of the years

of our exile."

 

"Rabbi Moses Levi died in the year 726 of our exile."

 

"Zadok the Levite, son of Moses, died 4000 after the creation, 765 of our exile."

(This refers to the Karaite era of the creation, which makes that event 3911 B.C.

So this last date would be 88-89 A.D.)  (Carpenter: The Israelites Found, p. 42;

Poole:  Anglo-Israel, p. 453;  Poole:  Fifty Reasons Why the Anglo-Saxons are Israelites, p. 31;  Milner: Israel's Wanderings, p. 95.)

 

Thus tradition, history and archaeology unite in tracing the ancestors of the

Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon races to the region of the Black Sea, finding them

originally Israelites of the captivity.

 

                     Ephriam's Marks of Identification

 

in the prophetic utterances regarding the future of Ephriam are passages which

enable us to identify his children and their part in history. Six of these are

selected.

 

  1.   Ephriam should be wasted away in captivity and become few in mumbers.

"Though they bring up their children, yet will I breave them....Ephriam shall

bring forth his children to the murdered....Ephriam is smitted, their root is

dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I

slay even the beloved fruit of the womb."  (See also the prophecy of Jacob al-

ready quoted.)   (Hosea 9:12:16;  Alma 46:  24-26.)

 

  2.   Ephriam should become "wanderers among the nations."  (Moses 9:17.)

 

  3.   Ephriam was to be scattered, "as the morning cloud, and as the early

dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of

the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney."  (Hosea 13:1, 3.)

 

  4.   Ephriam was commanded:   "Set thee up waymarks, make high heaps: set thine heart to the highway, even the way which thou wentest."  (Jer. 31:21.)

 

  5...After his chastisement Ephriam should repent and be forgiven of the Lord.

(Jer. 31:15-20; Hosea 14:8.)

 

  6.  Ephriam should  "become a multitude of nations."  (Gen. 48:19.)

 

It is not difficult to find the people fulfiling in history every one of these

predictions. The Chimmerians and Scythians were formerly, while still in the

country of the Medes and Assyriana, "inconsiderable and few."  They became shep-

herds and herdsmen, and wandering nomads. As they increased they divided into

tribes and spread in conquering waves of migration over Eurpoe, mixing "among

the people." The mounds of the Black Sea region, of Scandinavia, and of elsewhere

in Europe are the waymarks and high heaps of Ephriam. Finally after their period

of idolatry, of wanderings, of ruthless wars and conquests, the Nordic nations

have arisen to greatness as the "multitude of nations" of Europe and America fore-

seen of old by the patriarch Jacob.

 

                       Evidence From Pedigrees

 

The eminent Jewish commentator and historian, Moses Malmonides--who lived in the

13th century--in a manuscript commentary on the Old Testament, reviews the bless-

ings which Jacob pronounced upon his sons. He speaks of a certain Antenor, King

of the Cimmerians, who lived 443 B.C.  This Antenor he termed "the chief Prince of

Ephriam."  In Hewbrew genealogy this would mean he was probably oldest son of the

oldest son down from Ephriam through Elishama and Joshua in patriarchal order of

descent.

 

From Antenor, a King of the Cimmerians on the Black Sea, the earliest kings of the

Franks traced their descent, through an ancient pedigree yet preserved. It is now

impossible, without more knowledge of those early days, to either prove or dis-

prove the links of this ancient record. It stands, like some tall pillar amid the

ruins of a once glorious temple, the sole remaining evidence of former granduer.

If authentic, and it is the best we yet have for that period, then we have an

actual record of lineage from Antenor, "Chief Prince of Ephriam," to well-known

kings of England, France, Germany and Spain.  (See accompanying pedigree.)  The

lines of these rulers will presently be continued to families now living among

us.

 

The son of Antenor was Marcomir 1, King of the Sicambri. The Sicambrians "were originally Scythians planted at the mouth of the Danube from whence they were

expelled by the Goths." Marcomir led his people out of Scythia to the Danube,

and later "he with 175,658 men" was driven out of his home. "Then he planted them

in the country now called West Frieszland, Gelders and Holland."  "The Kingdom of

Sicambria when first planted was upon the borders of Germany, near the German Sea.

At their first coming they were called Newmagae (or new Kindred), afterwards

Sicambri, and lastly Franks."  (Anderson: Royal Genealogies, Table 371.)  This

author adds, "Historians have recorded these following Kings:

   Antenor, King of the Cimmerians, 443 B.C. (Called "Chief Prince of Ephriam.)

                               Odin of the North

 

The mythological literature of Scandinavia "bears evidence of a belief prevalent among the people that their ancestors congregated at a remote period from the

shores of the Black Sea, through a south-western Russia, to the shores of the

Baltic." (Paul Du Chaillu: The Viking Age, 1, p. 216.) Long after this first migration, according to the sagas, a great conqueror Odin ruled in Asaland or Asaheim, where the chief city, Asgard, "was a great sacrificing place. It was

customary there that twelve temple-priests were the foremost, and had charge of

the sacrifice and judged between men....Odin was a great warrior and traveled far

and wide, and became owner of many countries....It was his custom, when he sent

his men into fight or on other errands, first to lay his hands on their heads

and give them bjanak; they believed that luck would then be with them.    As

Odin was foreknowing....he knew that his descendants would live in the northern

part of the world." With the temple priests and a great company he marched

through Russia, Saxony, Denmark, and finally settled in Old Sigtuna in Sweden.

"There he made a great temple and sacrificed according to the custom of the Asar." He had many sons, and left his sons to rule over and defend his conquests. He

ordered  that over great men mounds should be raised as memorials. "Odin was

a great law-giver, prescribing rules for the people in peace and war, detailing

the manner of offering sacrifice, and insturcting men how best to please the

Gods." When he died in Sweden "the Swedes thought he had gone to old Asgard, and

would live forever. Then there arose the   worship of Odin."  (Snorri Sturiason:

Ynglinga Saga, c, 2-9; Cronholm: History of Sweden, p. 34.)

 

"When Odin arrived with his twelve pontiffs or chief priests, he is said to

have found that a great part of the land was occupied by a people who, like himself, had come from Svithied (i.e. Scythia); but in such long ages past that, according to their own account, no one could fix the time." Odin's people settled "upon the

islands and coast lands" of the Baltic and German oceans, intermarrying with the

"older tribes of Kelts, Kimri and others, who, in their turn--but long before--

had also come from beyond the shores of the Black Sea."  (Otte:  Scandinavia, pp.

6, 59.)

 

From this Odin or Woden descended most of the kingly and noble races of the

north. "When reading the Saga literature we are particularly struck by the

frequent references made to pedigrees in which the people of the North took

great pride. There are three great genealogical branches through which the

Northern chiefs traced their descent from Odin."  (Du Chaillu: The Viking

Age, Vol 1, p. 66.)

 

Of these three branches that of the Skjoldunga or line of Danish kings des-

cended from Skjold, son of Odin, is reproduced on the chart which follows.

 

"Skjold was the son of Odin, from whom the Skjoldunga are descended. He dwelt

in and ruled over the lands now called Danmork, which were than called Gotland.

Skjold had a son Fridleif, who ruled the lands after him. Fridleif's son Frodi

got the kingship after his father."  (Later Edda. Skaldskaparmal, c. 43.)

 

The various tribes who settled in England all preserved pedigrees deducing

their rulers from this same Odin. These pedigrees kept independently by the

different tribes form the best evidence that he actually lived and reigned in

the north, and left descendants. Moreover, several of these ancient records

give Woden's ancestors for a number of generations. A glance at the accom-

panying table will show how the pedigree of Odin's forebears kept by one tribe

tallies closely with those kept by others, with but minor changes in spelling

and occasionally an omitted or added name. When we compare the Anglo-Saxon

lineages with one found in the ancient Icelandic document, the Langfedgatal,

we find the Scandinavians had an almost identical record of his projenitors.

In lview of this, we are forced to conclude, with Sharon Turner, "Some of the

most authentic genealogies indicate Woden to have been a real personage."

 

An examination of the following lines of lineage will show the progeny of Odin

or Woden traced to nine representative nations of Europe. In the next pedigree

these lines are in turn followed until they merge in one common ancestress,

Eleanor Welles. From her the line is direct to William Goddard, who emigrated to

New England. This William Goddard was great-grandfather to Samuel Goddard,

through whose two daughters are derived numerous prominent families in  the

Church. A few typical descents are shown, connecting with Presidents of the

Church, members of the Quorum of the Twelve, Presidents of Stakes and Presid-

ents of Missions, a President of the Seventy and Church Commissioner of Education.

Because of the great interest in the forefathers of the  Prophet Joseph Smith,

a probably line of his ancestry is also shown.

 

Thus from pedigrees, prophecy, history, archaeology and tradition evidence has

been found to substantiate our teachings that we are "the servants of the Lord,

even the children of Ephriam."  (Doc. and Cov. 133:32.)  To us has descended

the precious birthright of the chosen seed and covenant race. With it we have inherited great privileges, great opportunities, great blessings and mighty

responsibilities. What other meaning can we read from these words of the Lord

to us:

 

"Thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the Priesthood hath continued through

the lineage of your fathers,

 

"For ye are lawful heirs according to the flesh, and have been kept hid from the world with Christ in God;

 

"Therefore your life and the Priesthood hath remained and must needs remain through you and your lineage, until the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths

of the holy prophets since the world began.

 

"Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light unto the Gentiles,

and through this Priesthood, a savoir unto my people Israael. The Lord hath said it.

Amen.

Note:  The above pedigree is given as the probable descent only. There is good

auithority for every link back to ANTHONY COLBY, but, so far as the writer can learn, it has never been absolutely proved that Anthony Colby, who emigrated to Boston in 1630, is identical with Anthony Colby, son of Thomas Colby and Beatrice

Felton of Beccles, Suffolk. The evidence for this identity seems based on the fact that he came with Govenor Winthrop from Suffolk, that he was one of twelve children.

(Mack Gen. vol. 11, p 1352), that only two Anthony Colbys have been found in the

English Visitations and the older one died without heirs (ob.s.p., Visitations

of Norfolk, p 62.) 

 

The remaining one was of about the right age to be the emigrant who was born in

1590. The connection as given has been published a number of times, as in "Amer-

icans of Royal Descent,"  Jones: "Ancestors of My Daughters, "  "History of the

Colby Family," by James W. Colby, and in Anderson's "Ancestry and Posterity of

Joseph Smith and Emma Hale."  For the English pedigree beginning with Thomas

Colby and Beatrice Felton who had 12 children, see Metcalf's Visitations of

Suffolk, and Rye's Visitations of Norfolk. For the Fitz-Alan ancestors see

"Complete Peerage" by G.W.C. Turton's "Plantagenet Ancestry and Lane's "Royal

Daughters of England."

 

 

From the Era (now Ensign) of February 1961:

 

    Strangely enough when the state of Israel was reborn in 1945 it was a

nation of 600,000, the same number which the Bible records that Moses led

out of bondage in Egypt. It now numbers some two million, the same number

which it is said populated the ancient kingdom of Solomon when Israel was

in all its glory. That is why we may now say that the Jews have returned

to Palestine, on a land one tenth the size of Utah. They have nearly a half

million more people than we have in the whole church, and they have about

258 people for each square mile in Palestine, which is a dense population.

At the same time, 1961, there were about ten to a square mile in Utah.
