*NOTE - The story I have heard is that Peter Betts had joined the churc h in
England and wished to emmigrate. He was a Blacksmith/Spring Maker so whe n word
came that there was an opening for a blacksmith in St. Louis he immediate ly
left for the U.S.A. When he arrived there it was only to find that the j ob had
already been filled. His son William Michael and wife were the next to c ome
over. William Michael & wife then went back to England to pick up his Mo ther,
brothers & sisters and bring them to the new land. When the family finall y got
here there was still a part of their family left behing in Sheffield,York shire
- namely the eldest girl, Eliza with her husband and family. The famil y went
on west with the 2 eldest boys going on to San Francisco where they start ed the
Betts Iron Works. In order to establish this buisness these 2 boys wen t back
again to England for more training in the Iron Making business. This ma y have
been when they finally persuaded Eliza and family to come back with the m to the
United States.
**NOTE - for emigration information look at the notes under William Micha el
Betts.

My father's parents, the Peter Betts family, were converted to the L .D.S. Church in England and arrived in the United States in 1850. He die d in New Orleans one year after his arrival. The family moved to St. Loui s, Missouri where the older sister and brother lived. The boys, Richard , James and John, together with their mother, started for Utah. In Wyomin g, John, my father, joined a return wagon train, while the others continu ed. They settled in Payson, Utah. John worked with wagon trains carryin g supplies all along the Mississippi River and into Mexico. One year late r he returned to St. Louis, Missouri, where he finished learning his trad e as wood finisher, painter, graining and paper hanging. He returned to P ayson when his mother died in 1868.
My grandfather, Peter Betts, was a carriage maker and had a shop nea r London. He was commissioned by the King, I believe Queen Victoria's fat her, to build a carriage for the Queen, who was not very strong. Peter Be tts invented a spring for the carriage. The King was so delighted that h e Knighted him. There is a Coat of Arms in the Tower of London. His son , Richard Betts, received permission to photograph it and I have the orig inal photograph that was brought back from London. I understand that ther e is also a copy in the archives, but I have never seen it.
William N. Betts, the eldest son, returned to England and worked i n the shop with his father. His father taught him to make the springs. Wi lliam returned to the United States during the Civil War. I don't know i f the spring was ever patented, but William and his brother Peter had a s hop in St. Louis and started making springs for carriages, wagons and fo r the first railroad cars that carried them. They sold out in St. Louis a nd went around the horn to San Francisco, California. Peter wanted to far m and went south and had a farm where the city of Long Beach, Californi a now stands.
William built a factory in San Francisco and manufactured springs fo r railroad cars. He tried to get as many relatives as would come to lear n the trade. Among them were two boys named Porter, and two nephews by th e name of Wild. They worked with him until the earthquake and fire of Apr il, 1905. He was considered a multi-millionaire at the time, but was wipe d out. The factory was situated on the corner of Market and Fremont Stree ts. Almost one half of the factory and sidewalk sank 15 feet. He died o f a heart attack.
His son, Percy, and other relatives, saved as much of the machiner y as they could and built a small factory on Fremont Street. It has bee n enlarged many times. I visited it the last time I was in San Francisco . I didn't know I had so many relatives on the West coast. It is known a s The Betts Spring Company.

Peter Betts, age 46, came to the United States on Friday 8 December 184 8 and landed at New Orleans, Louisiana. He left Liverpool, England on th e ship "Counin" with Captain Mellon.
