Welcome

The Mountain Meadows Massacre Descendants site dedicated in loving memory to our ancestors who died at
Mountain Meadows, Utah September 7-11th, 1857.

​

There were 120 men, women and children traveling in the wealthy wagon train headed to California were killed at
Mountain Meadows. Only 17 children were allowed to live - all under the age of 7.   

​

The Mountain Meadows Massacre Descendants organization came about after months of discussion and prayer with a simple, yet unique purpose. The descendants and families of those who were killed at Mountain Meadows have intimate knowledge of what their ancestors thought, what motivated them and what they would want done with their remains.
After all, their massacre had a direct, devastating impact on our families.

​

Through the MMMD, the descendants of those who died are acknowledged and recognized as the group that has primary input into what actions are taken regarding our ancestors’ remains and the land where they rest. It is our desire to work as a group to encourage and maintain an atmosphere of honor, truthfulness and love for our ancestors who died September 11th, 1857.

We also hope to bring together long-lost descendants of the victims so that all of us may know the unique history and legacy that unites us. Already, many new friendships have been formed and memories shared. God bless this organization that we will bring honor to our families massacred at Mountain Meadows, Utah.

                                                                                                    

This site is for the descendants and family members of those who died at the Massacre so that we can share family histories, photographs, remembrances and research. We welcome and value input and expertise from historians and others interested in the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

Our Goal

The organization, Mountain Meadows Massacre Descendants came about, after months of discussion and prayer, with a simple, yet unique purpose. The descendants of those who died have never been acknowledged or recognized as the group who should have primary input into what actions are taken with reference to the MMM of 1857. No one but the descendants and families of those who died have intimate knowledge into what they thought, what motivated them, what they would have wanted etc. It is our desire to work as a group to encourage and maintain an atmosphere of honor, truthfulness and love for our ancestors who died September 11th, 1857. God bless this organization that we will accomplish this simple task.
