Rees R. and Ann LLEWELLYN were married in 1854. They were among the pioneers of 1856 who pulled handcarts 1300 miles from “Iowa City” to Salt Lake Valley. Mr. LLEWELLYN came to Fountain Green in the fall of 1859, built a log house, and moved his family there in the spring of 1869. This young couple took an Indian child, who had been stolen from her tribe to be traded to white men for food, into their home and reared her to maturity. George W. Johnson gave a steer for her when she was two years old but he felt that young Rees and Ann were better able to care for the child. She was raised as a Latter-day Saint and married in the Temple. Besides singing in the choir Mr. LLEWELLYN was active in politics. In 1884, he served as a member of the territorial council, earning the title of “Honorable.” An item in the Deseret News dated 1874 describes him as a justice of the peace. Although the names of both Rees R. and Ann appear on the first authentic list of choir members (dated 1868), people now living in Fountain Green do not remember Ann singing; but their daughter Julia Ann, born in 1862, grew up to take her place as a singer beside her father. They were known throughout the county for their renditions at political rallies. Alma Jewkes described Rees as a bass but his granddaughter calls him a tenor.
