Lincolnshire, England. Henry was baptized a member of the LDS

Crowland (modern usage) or Croyland (medieval era name and the

one still in ecclesiastical use) is a small town in the South Holland

district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated between

Peterborough and Spalding. Crowland contains two sites of

historical interest.

1- The ruined medieval Croyland Abbey

2- The 14th-century three-sided bridge, Trinity Bridge, which

stands at its central point and used to be the confluence of three

streams.[

Croyland Abbey Trinity Bridge in Crowland Town,

Lincolnshire.

The triangular Trinity Bridge stands on

dry land. Built between 1360 and 1390.

Henry Hitchbourne Garfield MARRIED Maria Cherrington on 22 May 1849 at Croyland, Lincolnshire,

England. They probably sail to U.S.A. during 1849-50 and made their way to Council Bluffs, Iowa, the

outfitting area for wagon train to SLC, Utah. Her death was one of those deeply sad occasions as LDS

pioneers struggled to reach the Salt Lake Valley in Utah Territory. Her winter burial on 1 Dec 1849 at

Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie, Iowa was recorded by family members and there is no record of any child

born to this marriage.

Your tombstone stands neglected and alone.

The name and date are chiseled out on polished, marbled stone.

It reaches out to all who care. It is too late to mourn.

You did not know that I exist. You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you in flesh, in blood, in bone.

Our heart contracts and beats a pulse entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled so many years ago.

Spreads out among the ones you left who would have loved you so.

I wonder as you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot and come to visit you.
