Note | "George Teeples and family came across the plains in 1848, shortly after arriving in Salt Lake they moved to Provo. In 1853, while living in Provo, the Walker War broke out. Sidney was a boy of 16, yet he was called into service along with the men, to help defend their loved ones from the Indians. In 1856 the family moved to Fort Supply. GOSHEN, UTAH "In 1860 Sidney came to Goshen to visit his brother William Teeples." On 31 Dec. 1860 and 21 Jan. 1861 Sidney appeared on a list of stock owners in Goshen (Goshen History File, LR 3259 11, Item 36, 1:2; 2:1) Here he met and married Nicholus Gourley. As a boy he had lived among the early settlers wherein, the Ute Indians were seen every day, and he had played with them all his life. He could speak their language as well as he could his own. In 1867 the couple moved to Holden, and participated in all the trying scenes incident to early pioneering. In the spring of 1866 William Teeples (Sidney's brother) moved to Holden, Millard County, Utah. After Sidney left the Army he was laid up with rheumatism, and in the fall of 1867 his mother and William came back up to Goshen to move Sidney down to Holden. The dog, Curly drove the cows, William drove one wagon, and Nicholus with the baby on her lap drove the other. She made her home in Deseret while the house was in the building, in Holden. Some logs were brought from Sidney's brother and the house was built one block north of the fort, the first one on the surveyed townsite. Sidney's health improved and he helped survey the new town. David R. Stevens built the second house and Walter Stevens built the third house on the new townsite. These houses stand today.
