Biographical History
Anson Call was born in Fletcher, Vermont, on May 13, 1810. In 1833 he married Mary Flint and they moved to a farm in Madison, Ohio. Call was raised in a Methodist family, but in 1836 was baptized into the Mormon faith by William Smith, brother of Joseph Smith. In 1838 the family moved to Far West, Missouri, where they faced continual religious persecution that resulted in the theft of their family farm. In 1841 Call was made a High Priest in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and began a brick business. He settled in the newly founded Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1842. Here he had regular interactions with Joseph Smith, and after Smith's death became a supporter of Brigham Young. In 1846 Call and his family travelled west, although it would be two years before they arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Call was made Bishop of the North Kenyon Ward in 1849, and in 1851 he led a company to Fillmore, Utah, and also helped organize Iron County, Utah, of which he was also made Justice of the Peace. During this time he married Maria Boyaneva, the first of his several plural wives, including Margreta Clark (1857), Emma Summers (1857), and Henrietta Call (1861), the wife of Call's brother Josiah, who was killed by Indians in 1858. In 1864 Call led an exploring company to search for a road to the Colorado River. Call continued to lead exploratory parties throughout Utah and Arizona for much of his life, and died on August 31, 1890.
Born in Vermont, joined LDS Church in 1836. Lived in Ohio, Missouri, Illinois and Winter Quarters, Nebraska, crossing the plains to Utah in 1848. Lived all over Utah, and at Call's Landing, Nevada.
