James W. Frampton-3rd Great-Grandfather

Unfortunately I do not have very much information on James W. Frampton or his wife, my 3rd Great-Grandmother, Mary Ann Boozey.  If anyone has any info on them more than I have found, please let me know.  I was able to find a picture of them in some pictures that my mom had that were my Grandpa Framptons.  That was exciting to find them.  I love putting a face to a name whenever possible.

James Frampton was born July 12, 1827 in the town of Raleigh, Essex, England, son of Charles and Rebecca Cox Frampton.

James married Mary Ann Boozey.  Mary Ann was born July 12, 1828 at Raleigh, Essex, England.  They were converted to the Mormon Church and were baptized in the early 1860's, but did not emigrate to Utah until 1869.  After crossing the ocean, they came from New York to Utah by train arriving in November of 1869.

The parents brought their daughter, Mary Ann, and two sons, Charles and James with them.  One daughter, Charlotte, was married, but her husband did not want to come to America.  Therefore, Charlotte stayed in England with him.  After the husband died,  Charlotte joined the family in Utah in 1880.  Her mother, Mary Ann Frampton, had died just one year after arriving in Fillmore, November 7, 1870, and the father, James married another English lady, a convert of the Mormon Church who was brought to Utah by James' son-in-law, Joseph D. Smith, who had just returned from a mission to England.  Her name was Emily Adelaide.

James Frampton died February 21, 1894 and is buried in the Fillmore Cemetery.
