Three generations of twins in this Church Family. Left to right they are: back row, Mary Weston Crowther and her twin brother, Samuel Weston; Edwar N. Crowther and his twin sister, Rose Crowther Fowler; front row, Carol and Carma Crowther, daughters of Bishop J. L. Crowther, youngest son of Mrs. Crowther 

Seventy years ago Nehemiah Weston and his wife Rosannah Gifford Weston set sail on the good ship Manhattan with many more immigrants, mostly all Latter-day Saints, to find a new home in the Rocky Mountains. They, with their family of nine, two oldest having immigrated two years previous, made their home in Laketown, Utah near the beautiful Bear Lake. The youngest of the family were twins who were born at Wooley, five miles south of the city of Bath, Somersetshire, England Jan. 27, 1865. They were five and one-half years old when the family reached Utah on Aug. 11. 

All lived with their oldest sister, Louisa who had come two years before with the oldest son, George Gifford Weston, and had married N.M. Hodges. The father’s health was good but the mother’s health was very poor until she was settled. The father and brothers soon got a seine and boat and after work they would go to the lake two miles north of the town and catch many fish. 

Their son Samuel Weston was called to be Bishop of Garden City. He had previously filled a mission to England visiting relatives and friends while there. He and his wife made their home in Logan about thirty years ago. At this writing he is leader of the High Priests quorum of his ward and they have a field of corn that he has charge of close to his home. 

On Oct. 4, 1883 Mary Weston was married to Edward Crowther in the endowment House in Salt Lake. To them have been born seven children. Their oldest children were twins, a boy and girl, born at Laketown in the father’s home on Feb. 13, 1889. Edward N. Crowther is now residing at Malad, Idaho and is counselor to President Rihards of the Malad Stake. His twin sister, Rose C. Fowler, has been a stake worker in Ogden and Relief Society president of the Eighteenth Ward for some time, also primary president in the 33rd Ward of Salt Lake City where she now resides. 

The last pair of twins are Carol and Carma Crowther. 13 year old daughters of Junius L. and Mary Dredge Crowther. At the present time Junius Crowther is bishop of the Malad First Ward and Mrs. Crowther is president of the Relief Society. 

This makes the three generations of twin song direct descendants of Nehemiah Weston-Rosannah Gifford Weston.
