Notes:
                   Family record of Samuel h. Smith of the Ozarks, pg.19. Parsons came to Mt. View Mo. with, or to visit his brother William B. Alldredge and family. He met and married Aretta.  In Mountain View they lived on a farm, which is known as the Joel rushing Place, where their child Isaac was aborn.  Parsons and his brother William B. and their families moved to Perry Co. Illinois where Parsons had lived when a child.  In Illinois their younger brother Isaac,then about 19 yrs of age ,who had been reared by their uncle John Grown in Utah, stopped to visit them.  He was enroute to England where he was to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  He talked with Parsons and William, told them of the Territory of Utah,  it's opportunities,climate and advantages.  He also explained to them the doctrines of the Church he represented, it was sometime after his departure Parsons and William and their wives discussed very earnestly the message Isaac had brought them.  They finally decided to go west to Utah.  Into  wagons they loaded their belongings and went to Council Bluffs Iowa, thinking perhaps they may join a covered wagon caravan going to the west.  Upon their arrival at Council Bluffs,they found that there were no companies leaving for some time.  They met another man Jesse Ballinger, and his family there, who was interested in making the trek west, and so the three families, each in their own wagon, began the long journey westward, of over a thousand miles.  Many harrowing experiences were had by these young adventurous, fearless and sturdy pioneers.  They arrived in Utah in 1867. going directly  to Pleasant Grove Utah,  the home of their Uncle John Brown.  In Pleasant Grove they made their permanent home.  They joined the Church a year later in 1868.

Notes:
                   Isaac's father Thomas Canham joind the L.D.S. Church in England, and came with his wife and son Robert to Utah in 1875 and settled in Deseret Utah.  Two years later Isaac came to Utah.  As soon as the train stopped in Salt Lake City, a young man came into the car and called aloud for Isaac Canham.  What a welcome from Daniel Hunter, and it was the beginning of a life long friendship.  Isaac went to the home of his father in Deseret Utah.  Sometime later Martha Jane Alldredge was visiting there at the home of her Uncle William B Alldredge.  The two met, romance followed and they were married by John Brown in Pleasant Grove Utah. They made a farm house in Hinckley Utah.  After the death of thier little daughter they sold thier farm for forty dollars and on 11 Nov. 1895 they moved to Lindon Utah.  They later lived in Salt Lake City where Isaac was a successful resaurant operator for many years.  Martha was a fine seamstress, a good cook and a capable homemaker.  She inherited that fine sense of humor and witty sayings, and where ever she was, her conversation was sparkling, humorous, and full of practical philosophy.  Ike and Matt, as they were affectionately called, moved back to Lindon Utah, where they made an attractive, comfortable home surrounded by unusual and beautiful flowers, a product of Ike's interesting hobby.
