Washington Lemmon
1806-1902
Among the pioneers who came to Utah and settled in the Salt Lake Valley, there were few that lived so long and participated so actively in the work of building up the state as Washington Lemmon. For almost a century, he watched the United States grow from a small sparsely settled country to a large and powerful nation.
Washington was born at Shelbyville, Shelby County, Kentucky on October 6, 1806 to James Lemmon and Sarah Carr. The family lived there until 1812 when his father took his family and moved to Indiana. His mother died in Indiana. James, having a family of small children to take care of, soon found himself another wife.
