I am a decendant of thisbie Quilley Read and Ephriam.Their daughter Martha Georgiana Hanks Allen who married Daniel Allen had Thisbie Louise who is my geat-grandmother and whom died in 1982 at the age of 94. I was 9. You may not even get this, but I think a family reunion would be really special. I am related on my fathers side. His name is Gordon anderson and we live in Pocatello,Id. a few years ago he and I did a geneology trip to Hanksville and went up to teasdale and thru cainsville and were able to visit grave sites. it was amazing and we learned a lot, however it would be a real treat to get to know the as much of the family as possible. My fathers side is originally from the oakley/burley,id area. thisbie married my gg grandfather albert "shorty"anderson and they ended up there in about 1912 or so. My name is ginger anderson taft. hope to hear from you!

I'm happy to help plan a large Hanks' reunion for 2010 in conjunction with The Handcart Pageant. My grandfather, Frank Hyde Ensign, was a grandson of Marcia Amelia Hanks Hyde, Eph's oldest daughter. Marcia was born 3 Jul 1851 to Eph and Harriet Amelia Decker, Eph's first wife. I have a large extended family who would love to come to a possible reunion. I have over 39 family emails I could contribute and would be happy to collect more Hanks' family emails and do emails advertising and inviting Eph's descendants to the reunion. Our own Hanks' branch has done some fun skits about Ephraim's days as a station master for the Pony Express. Did you know Eph beat Jim Bridger in an "I Dare" contest killing a large bear with nothing but his knife? If I can help, please contact me! Thanks, Kathy Ensign England P.S. This wiki site is fabulous! Thank you!
