Col. Peter Wilson Conover was shown in the census in 1850 as a mason.
Col. Peter Wilson Conover and Mary Jane McCarl appeared on the census of 1850 at Utah County, Utah; real estate value 100.00.

"February 8, 1850, the Salt Lake Cavalry under Colonel Andrew Lytle and Captain George D. Grant united forces with Colonel W. Peter Conover and my father, Captain Alexander Williams. Before daybreak on the 9th, Thursday, the Indians, one hundred and ten in number, met and opened fire on the Cavalry and then retreated to their re-doubt. They fought until 7:00 PM. Friday morning they were met as before, our men returning to the Fort late at night. Saturday they were again met. That day the Sliding Batteries and the Horse Charge was made.

"That night after Higby was killed, Lieutenant Willam H. Kimball took his company with Colonel Peter W. Conover and followed the Indians to Utah Lake. The Cottonwood Company and some of the Provo Company followed the Indians to Rock Canyon. They overtook them and a battle was fought and about forty Indians were killed. Our men left the field of battle at 8:00 PM having killed of Stick On the Head's warriors, one hundred and one Indians and one squaw. This was acknowledged at the treaty at Provo on 11 April 1850. Our casualties during the three day siege was Joseph Higby and eleven horses. Alexander Williams and seven others were wounded.

"The Indians left that night after they had killed the beef. They took the best of the meat and went out through Sanpete. An appeal was sent to Provo for help and "Colonel Conover sent a company of 150 men to our aid. Colonel Conover's Company and different companies from other settlements tried to head the Indians off, but they made their escape. There were Utes enough left to kill all the whites they could catch out at Santaquin where some had farms. Col. Peter Wilson Conover married Mary Jane McCarl, daughter of Jesie McCarl and Mary Jane Lock, on 10. Nov. 1850. THE WALKER WAR
Thomas G. Alexander
Utah, The Right Place

Although the Paiutes worked out an accommodation of sorts with the Mormon immigrants, the settlers' occupation of lands that the Utes used for hunting and gathering, along with Mormon attempts to suppress the New Mexican trade, disrupted the Ute economy and society. With such highly combustible tinder laid, a seemingly isolated spark set the territory afire with war. On July 17, 1853, several Utes were trading at James Ivie's home near Springville when Ivie intervened in a dispute between a Ute man and his wife over her failure to strike a good bargain. Ivie tried to prevent the couple and a companion from carrying their dispute into his cabin. In the ensuing melee, Ivie killed one of the men, a relative of Walkara's named Shower-Ocats.

Under orders from Col. George A. Smith, Capt. Stephen C. Perry of the Springville Militia led a unit the next day into Walkara's camp about five miles up Payson (then Peteetneet) Canyon to try to mollify the outraged Utes. Perry discussed the matter with the Utes for a time. Then, when he and his troops realized that they risked death at the hands of the infuriated Utes, the beat a hasty retreat.

Walkara bargained with the settlers, demanding the usual Numic retribution – the death of one Euro-American. The settlers refused to pay that price, and two of Walkara's associate chiefs, Arapeen and Wanship, opposed compromise. Taking some of his followers to Payson, Arapeen killed a guard named Alexander Keel. Recognizing that Keel's death would bring the wrath of the Mormon settlers on his followers, Walkara led his people on a flight up Payson Canyon. On the way, they fired on settlers' cabins and stole about twenty head of cattle and six horses.

Hearing of Keel's death and apparently assuming that Walkara would follow the Mount Nebo loop into Salt Creek Canyon on his way into Sanpete Valley, Col. Peter W. Conover of the Utah County Militia sent several units up Payson Canyon and personally led a punitive expedition of 150 men up Salt Creek Canyon toward Manti to try to intercept Walkara and his followers.

General Wells apparently recognized the gravity of these clashes. Dreading a return to the bloodshed of 1849 and 1850, Wells ordered Conover to disband his troops and to act entirely on the defensive. Before he received the orders, however, Conover had sent out a patrol to attack a Ute camp east of Mount Pleasant (then Pleasant Creek) in Sanpete Valley. The militiamen killed six Indians in a skirmish.

After receiving Wells's orders, Conover prepared to return to Utah Valley, but in the meantime, Wells and Young issued further orders that anticipated even more thorough disengagement. Ordering George A. Smith to assume command of all units south of Salt Lake County, they instructed the settlers to abandon small outlying settlements and to gather in larger communities with secure forts. As an extra precaution, they ordered all settlers to avoid activities that took them away from the settlements alone or in small groups. Also, in an apparent attempt to remove the temptation for raiding, they ordered the settlers to immediately send all stock not needed for teams and milk to Salt Lake City for safekeeping. Later, Smith relieved Conover of command and arrested him for his failure to implement the defensive and conciliatory policy in Utah Valley.

Smith encountered considerable hostility to his efforts to effect the policy of defense and conciliation. Walkara made Smith's job more difficult since his soldiers attacked the settlers at Spring City (then Allred Settlement) in Sanpete Valley, driving off virtually all the community's livestock. Smith also encountered an open rebellion and had to accept the resignation of the Cedar City Militia commander, Maj. Mathew Caruthers, before the community agreed to send their stock to Salt Lake. Supervising the withdrawl of settlers to Parowan and Cedar City, Smith collected stock from the various settlements and sent them northward. Attacks continued into August 1853 as Utes tried to take a Salt Lake-bound herd of surplus cattle near Clover Creek in the Rush Valley. The war spread into northern Utah as Utes attacked four men hauling lumber near Park City, killing tow and wounding one other.

Walkara left for northern Arizona for the winter, but Wyonah, brother to Shower-Ocats, and other sympathetic Utes continued fighting. During the fall, Utes killed and mutilated settlers, most of whom were working in isolated parties outside the towns in defiance or disregard of the orders to remain in large groups. Such attacks occurred at Fillmore, Fountain Green, Santaquin, and Manti. Raids included the burning of Spring City, which the settlers had already abandoned, and the theft of a large herd of cattle near Spanish Fork.

Instead of following a conciliatory policy as Young had directed, Mormon settlers responded in brutal kind. A militia unit in Utah County assaulted a Ute camp near Goshen, killing four or five people. At Nephi, on October 2, 1853, after eight or nine Utes came to the fort seeking protection, a group of townspeople slaughtered them "like so many dogs" and then reported the murders as deaths during a skirmish.

Undoubtedly, the murders with the greatest long-range consequence occurred on the early morning of October 26, 1853, when Capt. John W. Gunnison of the Corps of Topographical Engineers and a party of seven had camped on the lower Sevier River in Pahvant territory. The murder of Gunnison and his party by the Pahvants may have come in retaliation for the death of a Pahvant killed by members of a passing wagon train. Alternatively,the deaths – like those of settlers working outside in small parties – may have resulted from their distance because of fortified settlements. More seriously for the Utah settlers, however, anti-Mormons attributed the death to Mormons acting under Brigham Young's instructions.

Gunnison had previously assisted Captain Howard Stansbury, a topographical engineer, on explorations in northern and central Utah. In 1849, Col. John J. Abert of the Corps of Topographical Engineers had assigned Stansbury to retrace the route form Fort Leavenworth to Fort Hall; explore a wagon road from the fort to the Great Salt Lake; examine the suitability of the lake for transshipment of supplies form the Mormon settlements; survey the lake, the Jordan River, and Utah Lake; determine the capacity of the Mormons to provide food and supplies for overland travelers; report generally on the Mormon economy; and locate a site for a military post near Salt Lake. The explorations of Stansbury and Gunnison, aided by Brigham Young's secretary Albert Carrington, led to the publication of Stanbury's report and Gunnison's book The Mormons in 1852, both of which offered favorable accounts of the Saints at a time when most national observers considered them in about the same category as we would consider cultist fanatics today.

In 1853, Col. Abert ordered Gunnison to survey a strip of land between the thirty-eight and thirty-ninth parallels as part of a search for a transcontential railroad route. Anxious to determine the most feasible and politically acceptable route from the Mississippi Valley to the Pacific Coast, Congress had authorized four surveys of possible transcontinental corridors. Gunnison found the thirty-eighth parallel route unsuitable for a railroad, but his decision to camp on the Sevier bottoms suited the Pahvants quite nicely.

Following the violence of late 1853 and early 1854, a number of Ute leaders offered terms for peace. In spite of some raids in January and February 1854, Ute bands, camped in central and southern Utah and headed by Chiefs Amon and Migo, said they were ready to lay down their arms. In March and again in May, Walkara, who had since returned from Navajo country, petitioned the settlers and Brigham Young for peace as well. Ever the shrewd trader, Walkara asked for food, guns, and ammunition, offering to sell portions of central Utah lands in return for annuities to be paid in cattle and horses over a twenty-year period. In addition, he wanted security for his trade in Paiute captives.

Young also favored the renewal of normal relations and an end to war and murder. Trying to work out an agreement, Young and Walkara met at Chicken Creek in Juab County on May 11, 1854. After Young arrived at Walkara's camp, the proud chief refused to come out of his tent to greet Young, insisting that the governor come to him instead. Recognizing a tense and potentially explosive situation, Young and George A. Smith walked to Walkara's tent. After they arrived, they found one of his daughters seriously ill. Touched by her suffering, they gave her a healing blessing.

Although the negotiations at Chicken Creek ended the immediate conflict, they solved none of the underlying issues. In fact, they left open wounds that continued to ooze the blood of Utes and Mormons through the Black Hawk War of the1860s. In February 1856, the Tintic War, a series of skirmished named after a Ute subchief, inflamed the people in the Tintic and Cedar Valleys, largely because Indians, who were starving in the drought, began taking cattle from the settlers. The war resulted in a number of clashes and deaths.

The wars ended only after the federal government removed the Utes to the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in the Uinta Basin during the late 1860s and early 1870s. Since the federal government did not buy the Ute lands, the issues festered until after World War II, when the Indian Claims Commission ordered payment for confiscated lands. Mormons forced the end of the New Mexican trade in human beings, but only at the cost of continued payment for the servants themselves. Col. Peter Wilson Conover died on 20. Sep. 1892 at Richfield, Sevier County, Utah, at age 85. He was buried on 23. Sep. 1892 at Provo, Utah County, Utah.

JAMES V. CONOVER, M. D.
To minister to the sick and suffering, to carry cheer, sympathy and aid to those in pain and affliction,--can a nobler field of usefulness be found? Perhaps no one can quite fill the place of the Christian physician, as he goes from house to house in a community, carrying with him an atmosphere of strength, vitality and hope. One of the loved and esteemed physicians of Salem county is the gentleman whose name heads this sketch,-a valued member of the medical profession of this section of the state.
The Conover family originated in Holland several generations ago. and the sterling qualities for which' tile people of that country are noted are to be found in those bearing the name to-day. Two brothers founded the family on the hospitable shores of the New World, one making a permanent settlement on Manhattan island and the other locating in New Jersey. Elisha Conover, a son of John Conover, the Doctor's father, was born in this state, and for a livelihood made agriculture his chief business. For a period in his early life he was successfully engaged in teaching, and from the time that he arrived at man's estate until his death. July 13, 1897, he was an active and valued member of the Methodist church, serving as a class-leader and as one of the official board of the congregation with which his lot was cast. He attained the ripe age of eighty-four years, and his widow, who is still living, is now in her seventy-eighth year. Her maiden name was Eliza Van Meter, her father Being James Van Meter, of one of the old, respected families of New Jersey, of Holland-Dutch extraction.
Dr. J. V. Conover, who was born July 12, 1855, in the identical house in the village near \Voodstown, Salem county, in which his father's birth had occurred more than two-score years previously, is one of the seven children born to Elisha and Eliza Conover. The eldest, Lovisa, is the wife of Charles Huff, of Harrisonville, Gloucester county. Howard J. is a minister in the Methodist denomination, at present located at Mullica Hill, Gloucester county, and Samuel is engaged in farming in the vicinity of Harrisonville, New Jersey. Professor Elisha Conover, the youngest son, is a leading educator, a man of superior attainments and brilliant prospects. He is a graduate of Dickinson College and now occupies the chair of Latin and Greek at the Delaware University, at Newark, Delaware. Anna, the youngest surviving (laughter, is the wife of C. C. Avis, of Woodstown, New jersey.
The advantages of a liberal education fell to Dr. Conover in his youth. his higher studies being pursued in the seminary at Pennington, New jersey. After attending that well known institution of learning for two years he turned his attention to the subject of medicine, and in 188o he was graduated in the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati, Ohio. Subsequently he re-turned to this, his native state, and engaged in the practice of his chosen vocation for two years, after which he went to the west. There he remained for some time, gaining the experience which. he desired in his work, and at the same time benefiting himself by meeting with the varied classes of,people found in the \vest, and having his mind broadened and strengthened by travel and association with nature in all her phases. Returning home in September, 1897, he established himself in practice in Elmer, Salem county, where he has built up a large and lucrative patronage. \\Then in the west he served for some time as a pension examining surgeon and physician at the city hospital. He is identified with the Knights of Pythias and belongs to the local lodge of the Masonic order. From childhood inoculated with the principles and beauties of the Methodist creed and doctrine, he early became a member of the church and is now acting in the capacity of trustee of the Elmer congregation.
His marriage was solemnized November 26, 1895, the lady of his choice being Alice W. Sniffin, a (laughter of Nathaniel Sniffin, of New York. She possesses an excellent education and is very popular in church and social circles, as is also her husband.

     Rev. Thomas Anderson Conover was born on 6. Oct. 1868 at New York City, New York County, New York. He was the son of Richard Stevens Conover and Sarah Jones Potter. Rev. Thomas Anderson Conover Early in the 20th Century, the Rev. Thomas A. Conover, rector of St. Bernard’s Church in Bernardsville, New Jersey, established missions in nearby Gladstone, the Bernardsville Hills and Millington. He also was associated with St. Mark’s Church in Basking Ridge. Those five churches (St. Bernard’s, St. Luke’s, St. John on the Mountain, All Saints’ and St. Mark’s) today are commonly referred to as the Conover churches.

Recognizing the value of a retreat in the Christian’s pilgrimage, the late Rev. Conover in 1931 established a house for retreats in Bernardsville. In 1935, the property was incorporated as St. Martin’s House, honoring St. Martin (c.316-397), patron saint of France and of soldiers. For many years, St. Martin’s House served as a center for parish retreats and other opportunities for spiritual renewal.

In the 1950s, in need of serious repair, the retreat house and property were sold, and proceeds were used to create the St. Martin’s House Fund. Interest from the fund continues to support the retreat movement by underwriting part of the costs of retreats, alleviating the financial burden on a parish or mission and on the individual participants. St. Martin’s House Fund makes grants to parishes in the Dioceses of New Jersey and Newark, and to retreat centers that serve those parishes.

A Board of Managers, which consists of the rectors and lay members from the five Conover churches and two other area parishes, administers the grants. The churches are:

St. John on the Mountain, Bernardsville
St. Bernard’s Episcopal Church, Bernardsville
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Gladstone
