Sarah Goode, George's mother joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints while in
England, but his father was very bitter.
His father died when he was only three and his mother worked and saved enough money to come to the United States with her family to be with the Saints in Utah.
The 19 of April 1856, Sara Goode Marshall with her family boarded the ship Samuel Curling and sailed from Liverpool, under the direction of Dan Jones.
They arrived in Boston the 23 of May. Then by rail to Iowa City where preparations were being made for the long journey across the plains. They left with the McArthur Hand Cart Company. (Editor's note: Sarah and her children are listed on the roster of the first hand cart company - Captain Ellsworth.)
They arrived in Salt Lake September 26, 1856. They lived a short time in Ogden with the William Wooley family, whom they had known in England.
She met and married Joseph Chadwick. They were among the first settlers in Franklin Idaho. William and Charles Chadwick were born to them but were sealed to Thomas Marshall.
Franklin was the first settlement in Idaho. A fort was built for the protection of the settlers against the Indians. George made friends with an Indian boy about his own age. His name was Charlie. When the Indians got quarrelsome Charlie would tell George and George would tell his mother who warned the men. A lot of trouble was halted through their friendship. One day when it was very cold Charlie rode up on a horse dressed only in a britch cloth. George asked him why he didn't have on more clothes and Charlie said, "George my ass all same as your face."
George married Elvira VanCuren 20 Dec. 1870 in Salt Lake City. They were endowed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake the 10th Nov. 1873.

George married Elvira VanCuren 20 Dec. 1870 in Salt Lake City. They were endowed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake the 10th Nov. 1873.
There children were:
Born 22 June 1872
Born 6 Jan 1875
Born 26 April 1878
Born 28 June 1880
Children couldn't be sealed in the endowment house when they were endowed so the son
George was sealed to parents by the family 4 Nov. 1969.
George Thomas Sr. had the first saloon in Franklin and when the married men gambled away their money or spent all their money on whisky he said he was disgusted with them but if their families were in need he left flour, wood and necessities on their door steps.
Elvira, George's wife died 5 June 1882. She was the daughter of Elvira Teeples Wheeler Rockwood VanCuren. She had a twin sister named Ellen. George's mother-in-law raised Nellie and Rosella (first name Sarah but she was called Rose). Aunt Rose claimed she was mean with them. Lovinia or Lovina (nicknamed Vinnie) was raised by her aunt Sarah, who didn't have any children at the time. Vinnie loved her dearly and said Aunt Sarah really spoiled her. George Jr. stayed with his father.
They also helped raise 5 other children. (His 2nd wife's son's children - he was divorced) George Sr. was sheriff of Franklin for a few years and reports were he was a very good one.
Mary Jane was a sweet lady, hard working, a good cook and she loved children. Lola the youngest daughter said in her life's history: "We all lived as one family, there was no halfs to us, we were all brothers and sisters."
George Thomas was a wheelwright by trade and built wagons. He also had a farm and a home in Franklin. He also made caskets. Mary Jane trimmed them inside and out with cotton batting and white fabric. Lola her daughter said they used to play in them when mother and dad were not home. One of the kids would play dead and they would have them get in the casket, then they would have a funeral.
The farm was a mile north of Franklin. Maple creek ran through the farm. A violet garden surrounded by a spring in the west of the field and there was a row of Poplar trees in the middle of the farm where the coyotes lived and howled all night long. Some said it used to be an Indian burial ground. We found lots of arrow heads there. There was a three room house on the farm, a cow shed and a pig pen. There was always plenty of work to keep everyone busy.
