Book of Mormon Setting Essay
presented by Don Hender
LEHI had a family
inheritance at Jerusalem where he had lived in all of his days until such time
as when the Lord called him to leave and depart into the wilderness (1 Nephi 1:4;
2:2). Not that Lehi would have lived within the 'walled city' but likely Lehi
lived somewhere in those lands round about Jerusalem, which were associated with
being of the suburbs of Jerusalem.
The fact that Lehi lived at Jerusalem all of his days and that his land was of
being an Israelite 'land of inheritance,' would mean that Lehi's ancestors had
held that land as their inheritance in Israel from some extended amount of time
before the time of King Josiah. Being of the tribe of Joseph and descended from
Manasseh, Lehi's family would have been thus associated with Jerusalem as land
holders of and Isralite inheritance at Jerusalem rather than the tribal lands of
Manasseh.
The situation of Lehi being 'landed' at Jerusalem could have at least three possible
senarios. One would be that Lehi's ancestral family was of the chief leaders of
Israel who were selected to represent the tribe of Manasseh in the days of King
David and his son Solomon's rule. Or, two, Lehi may have migrated to the land of
Jerusalem under such as the time of the invitation made by King Hezekiah to come
to the temple cerimony and they stayed there, have aquired by purchase a land
inheritance there rather than to return to the Northern Kingdom, which was under
the threat of wickedness and of the Assyrian invasions. A third rarely considered
circumstance is that Lehi's family had 'Jerusalem' area land inheritance as
associted with the tomb mother Rachel at Ephrath-Bethlehem and Jospeh family
holdings in that sector of the land due to Rachel being Joseph's mother.
To some the third senario may seem strange but one of the 'cities' or land
holdings of Benjamin, Rachel's other son, was by Rachel's sepulchre or tomb
(1 Samuel 10:2), and thus Zelzah next to Bethlehem. The name Zelzah is only found
once in the Bible and some suggest it is to be read 'Zela' or 'Zelah.' Zelah is
named as one of the cities of Benjamin (Joshua 18:28 (21-28)). The thought here
is if Benjamin has a city by Rachel's tomb, it would seem acceptable that Joseph,
the first son of Rachel, may have land/city also near mother Rachel's tomb. And
in that case Lehi's family's land of inheritance may even reach back to the setting
out lands in the day of Joshua. Note further that one Book of Mormon prophet,
Alma, states that Jesus was born in Jerusalem, thus making Bethlehem to be within
the 'suburbs of Jerusalem. As the bird flys, Bethlehem is only 5-6 miles south of
Bethlehem and well within the bounderies of greater Jerusalem area.
Zelah (a rib), a city in the allotment of Benjamin, (Joshua 18:28) contained the
family tomb of Kish, the father of Saul. (2 Samuel 21:14) [Perhaps the same as
ZELZAH (1 Samuel 10:2) - Smith's Bible Dictionary]
One arguement that can be put forth concerning Lehi's family being associated with
Jerusalem from the time of David could be Lehi's relative association with Laban.
Laban held the plates of brass as the record of Joseph assigned to be kept by
Joseph and his seed by the Lord (JST Genesis 50:31). Like that commandment given
to Ezekiel in Ezekiel chapter 37, the ages prior commandment was given to Joseph
to write and that there would also be a record of Judah (The Bible). Lehi seems
to have been at least equally entitled to be such as the keeper of the record of
Joseph by the same ancestry as was Laban (2 Nephi 5:16). For Lehi to command his
sons to simply request the plates of brass from Laban, it was likely that Lehi
was related to Laban and they both had claim upon the record of the plates of
brass. In their requesting of the plates of Laban, though the Lord had commanded
to aquire them from Labam, there never did seem to any question about Lehi having
an entitledment to the record then being held and kept by Laban.
Lehi in the Days of Josiah
Lehi and Josiah were not only contempories, they would have been of like ages.
Josiah lived from 640 - 609 B.C. 'bible time.' Lehi was at least age about 40
in Book of Mormon time of 600 B.C.
While Lehi's land inheritance was in the area round about at Jerusalem, Josiah's
Kindom not only held the standard lands and cities of Judah, which include such
as was of Benjamin, it also had moved up north into such Ephraim lands as well.
That is, Josiah was not only king of a completely independent Judah, but
his kingdom had extended northward into the past held or previous held Assyrian
provinces of southern Samaria round about 'Ephraim's old lands' as well as
Benjamin's (II Kings 23:19, (15-20)). When the Lord slew the Assyrians who came
against King Hezekiah, their destruction gave oppotunity for the Kingdom of Judah
to regain parts of Samaria to the north of Jerusalem (2 Kings 20:6, 2 Chronicles
32:21-22 (20-30 - See verse 29).
1 Boduel 2 Gormellick 3 Treheer 4 Tempellow 5 Lanrest 6 High Clicker Cross 7 High Clicker 8 Low Clicker 9 Clicker Tor
On the more modern map at the point of the red number 9, there is but to be made out the found
the name of 'Clicker Tor Quary,' the open pit minning quary of the Clickers. But, noting the
location of the Moon family locations of numbers 4, 6, 7, 8 beyond 9 is found, but they may be
found by clicking this first map on an old survey map once draw does appear and the
haunts of the Moon families' seem but to
suddenly appear as circled in red upon the old survey map's section so cropped and marked out
accordingly.
Low Clicker Torr and Clicker Tor of the quary, as opposed to High Clicker and High Clicker Cross, which
marks the location of the farmlands of the Moon family; fall nearer to Menheniot and St Keyne than to
the parish at Liskeard and the bourough thereof where the other Moon family names are to be
associated with such as Boduel and even Gormellick. The name of High Clicker Cross ought to be
considered but a part of High Clicker, as it the intersection of where the roads cross, north to south,
and east to west is a near 90 degree intersecton manner in a 'Cross' like pattern.
On the old survey map I've circles out even the two main land associations of my own Moon family at
Trewen (Higher and Lower) and Treheer (or Trehere). There are even other older recognizable name
such as Trewidland, Lean, Lean Hill, Landrest and even Brendon, which holds another Moon story to be
told. But for now and here it is the Moon families of Clicker who come to be the cousins of the
Moon family of Trehere and Trewen in the marriage of Joseph Moon of High Clicker to great+ aunt
Susanna Moon that will be presented later. But first establishing the Moon families of Clicker with
factual matters is to be attended to.

From two internet sites comes parallel information of a land transaction that
identifies the Moon family who is of Higher Clicker and Higher Clicker Cross—that
is the residence of the farming lands associated with Higher Clicker.
Though the names so associated will be deduced with added references to the line pedigree
presented below, it is noted that at the end of the lease agreement at the left is further
reference given to the related previously standing lease agreements to be surrendered in connection
with the creation of the current lease at hand. By using the supplied URL at the left, these other
listed items are viewable by substituting either the 0, 1, or 2 in the place of the 3 in the last
part of the URL of /73. That is /70, /71, or /72 in place of the /73 of that supplied address. They
have been viewed and as far as they contribute to the following forming of family member identifications
they have been so considered.
Robert Moon is included as those 'lives' of the lessees involved, along
with the lessee's son Joseph Moon; yet the actual named lessee, is Joseph Moon of
Higher Clicker, Liskeard, gentleman, with whom the lease is made. It is this
Joseph Moon, Gentleman of Higher Clicker who is the 'lessee father of son Joseph Moon' as set out
in the line pedigree below. That is Joseph Moon, Gentlman is the responsible lessee to John Harris,
Esq. And Joseph Moon, Gentleman, the lessee, is having included as part of the 99 yr. agreement
the coverage of the lives of his brother Robert Moon and his son Joseph Moon jr.

The Theophilus Moon and Honour Hawkey Family
Those named in the preceding presented lease agreement are Theophilus Moon the deceased husband of
Honor Hawkey in whom was a previous agreement relative to the Higher Clicker land property as
referenced above, Robert Moon and Joseph Moon sons of said Theophilus Moon, who are the leasors and
Joseph Moon's oldest son Joseph Moon, as included in this family's now newly consituted 99 year lease.
What has occured is that the leased property and agreement has over the course of time and arrangement,
been funnelled down from Theophilus to his two sons Robert and Joseph, and thence to Joseph's son
Jospeh. These four people are set out in red below.
The new lease has been set out for the lives of Joseph Moon's brother Robert Moon and Jospeh Moon's
son Joseph Moon over the length of the rights of the 99 year lease being now entered into by Joseph
Moon the father of the Joseph Moon whose life is included in the 99 year lease, thus preserving the
claim to the land property being leased for those durations of time to be either needfully renegociated
by either Robert Moon, Joseph Moon and/or Joseph Moon's son Joseph Moon.

* In the first of the land leases (1765) involving Higher Clicker, Theophilus Moon is named as being
of Tempello [Tempellow], Liskeard, gentleman. At that time the 99 year lease was over the lives of
the then living sos of Theophilus, who were Joseph, Henry and Theophilus. Even then, son Robert was
not included in the Higher Clicker lease though he was the eldest son.
Now further information will be supples below concerning this family, the family of Joseph Moon and
Susanna Moon, and the eventual families of Joseph Moon jr. and just how he is further also referenced
as being of High Clicker.

* The will of Joseph's in laws can help to establish when he died.
His mother in law, Jenny [Morshead] Moon list that he is the
deceased father of her two grandsons Joseph and Charles Moon by
the time of the 1810 writting of her will. Brother in law Robert
Moons will written 15 July 1805 lists nephew Charles Moon son of
Joseph Moon of High Clicker in manner that Joseph was living.
Then there are two Liskeard parish burials for a Joseph Moon of
1806 and 1807 that could be of Joseph Moon of Higher Clicker.
|
The case that Susanna Moon, daughter of Edward Moon and Jenny Morshead is the wife of Joseph
Moon of Higher Clicker is solidly correct. Beyond the parish marriage record, much of the evidence
comes from the family of Susanna Moon the the family wills beginning with her mother's
Jenny [Morshead] Moon of Trewen written in 1810, where she names her two
grandsons Joseph and Charles Moon and is state their father was Joseph Moon without stating that
he, the father, was her son-her daughter being Susanna Moon of Trewen.
(Note: granddaughter Jenny having deceased in 1797 was not in the will).
The will of brother to Susanna and to Joseph brother in law is that of
Robert Moon of Trewen. It was written and dated July 15, 1805, and in it Robert lists his
nephew Charles Moon, son of Joseph Moon of High Clicker and his wife Susanna Moon.
The case becomes completely solid by following the decades long association of 'cousin'
Charles Moon with the family of George and Jane [Moon] Raby of Kevervel, East Looe and Pool
Hall Menheniot. Jane is the daugher of my 5th great grandfather Nicholas Moon the brother of
Susanna Moon making their children Jane Moon and Charles Moon cousins. Jane married George
Raby which many of her siblings will denote. Cousin Charles is living with the Raby family
from 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871 to 1881 when he finally dies being of Pool Hall.

* Though his baptism names his mother as Mary, that appears to be in error, for his baptism meets the
likelihood of a first child's birth, being married in January, a son born in November or even October
of the same year is quite possible. This coupled with the fact that he appears on the 1841 census
record with the family at age 11, there positioned in with the family's children as seen below. See
the fuller case made for this 'missing son' further hereafter.

The Case for the Missing Child
There is a case for a missing child of this family that may be a situation of a misnamed mother. On the 1841 census,
that names son William C. F. Moon age 3, there is also a child named Joseph age 11 in list. With his first family Joseph
lost his first son named Joseph at age 2. It is common to name another later child by the same name and here it would be
after the father's name. He is accounted for with a baptism record and a burial record. The problem is the baptism records
his mother's name as Mary. And this though he is a fit for a first born son of then wife Catherine Ann [Foot] Moon.
1841 Liskeard Census ~ Book 10 Folio 8 Page 9
Higher Lux Street,1,Joseph Moon,50,,Farmer,In county,
,,Catherine Ann R. Moon,,40,,In county,
,,Christiana Moon,,14,,In county,

,,Fanny Moon,,6,,In county,
,,William C.F. Moon,3,,,In county,
,,Flonora R. Foot,,55,,In county,
,,Mary Ann W. Rogers,,35,,Not in county,
Since the 1841 census contains less information it is not for sure that this Joseph Moon age 11 is a son or a visitor
though he is listed in the position as being a son as preceeding him is daughter Christiana Moon and folloing him are
the other children of the name head and positioned wife of Chatherine Ann R. Moon. And it is the norm for a 'scholar' of
this age to be sent away to school, thus the Salt Ash Hockings School location of death fits the facts of the matter as
well.
