Notes for Joseph Lehi Foutz
Joseph’s parents were Jacob Foutz Sr. (1800-1848) and Margaret Mann (1801-1896). Jacob Foutz was wounded in the Haun’s Mill Massacre in October 1838, and was the captain of the Second Fifty of the Second Hundred of the LDS settlement of Utah in spring of 1847. There is an article about them on a web site compiled by one of the descendants of Joseph’s older sister Susan Foutz Brown (1823-1842). While the article is captioned “Susan Foutz Brown”, it is really more about her parents, and hence Joseph’s parents.
http://www.orsonprattbrown.com/CJB/02Susan-Foutz/2susanFoutz.htmlMany of the census records for Joseph’s children report their father’s place of birth as Pennsylvania. His own census records, though, report him as born in Missouri, and Mormon migration annals show that his parents moved from Pennsylvania to Hauns Mill, Missouri in 1836. He may have been conceived in Pennsylvania, though. :-)
