In the fall of 1857 President James Buchanan ordered several thousand Troops to the Utah Territory to challenge an alleged Mormon rebellion and to install a new governor. In retaliation, Brigham Young recalled settlers from outlying communities. Men from Payson joined other Mormon men in Echo Canyon to harass Buchanan’s army that was cold and hungry in the mountains. The conflict was settled peacefully and in June of 1858, the army built Camp Floyd, 40 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The year of 1858 would be remembered as the “move south” when Brigham Young emptied Salt Lake City and many people of the Salt Lake area were relocated. At this time, Jacob Hatch and his son William moved to Salem, Utah County, Utah and moved in with Jacob’s son, Lewis and his wife. Jacob was at the time either divorced or separated from Hannah Gailey Jones Hatch. Hannah had two sons from a prior marriage whose names were Henry and John Jones. Henry was a grown man. John was a boy about sixteen years old. In addition Hannah had custody of Ellen Hannah Hatch, daughter of Jacob and Hannah about five years old. The four of them relocated in Payson, a short distance from Salem.
According to Bishop Franklin Young, “sometime in May, 1858, Hannah and her two sons laid a plot to steal some horses and run them off to the soldier’s camp; but before they had time to execute this nefarious plot, they were detected.” Bishop Young further wrote that, “this circumstance so enraged some of the people that they determined to punish them in a very summary manner. They accordingly surrounded the house or dugout inhabited by this family and called on Henry to come out and deliver himself up. This he would not do and he kept close
for sometime, but at length came out and began shooting in the direction from which the voice which had hailed him came, but it being in the night and extremely dark, none of his shots took effect. He then tried to make his escape by running, but was overtaken at the corner of the Pondtown [Salem] fields and killed. On returning to the town, the people shot the old woman and tore the dugout in which she lived down upon her and thus it became her grave. A few days after the younger son was missing and has not been seen or heard from since.”
In the fall of 1858 some of the residents of Payson, dissatisfied with Bishop Hancock, petitioned President Young to remove him, but the petition was not, at that time granted. Other sources tell the following. Hannah’s son, Henry, had enraged the citizens of Payson and he
felt he needed to get out of town because his life was in danger. In May of 1858 Henry convinced his younger brother and some other boys in town to help him steal some horses he could sell to the army in order to get enough money to leave Payson. His brother and friends got
caught and were held overnight, thus saving the life of John Jones.
Hancock and a couple of other unidentified men when into the dugout where Hannah and her children lived. She was confronted about the whereabouts of her sons. While they were talking Henry made and escape from the back of the dugout and started running towards Salem. By now, Hannah was alone with little Ellen and began pleading for the safety of her boys. Suddenly a shot rang out and hit Hannah. The men ran out of the dugout and left Hannah where she fell and ignored Ellen. They were in pursuit of Henry. A neighbor came by the dugout a short while

after the shooting and picked up Ellen who was trying to wake her mother. He took Ellen to her father in Salem and told him what was happening in Payson. Jacob kept Ellen and raised her with the assistance of his son, Lewis. Jacob and Ellen eventually moved to Payson where Jacob lived out the rest of his life. The day after the shootings a funeral of sorts was held for Hannah and Henry at the the dugout. After a short service, the supports from the dugout were pulled down and the dugout collapsed around Hannah and Henry. They were left there without further fanfare. Hannah’s youngest son disappeared sometime during the night.
Charles Brent Hancock, his brother George W. Hancock, and others were brought before Judge Eccles, Nephi, UT in 1858. Twelve of them were indicted regarding the shooting of “the Jones Woman.” Nothing further was done until 1889 when six men were called to the Fifth District Court in Provo by Judge Blackburn. George W. Hancock, Charles B. Hancock, Alvin Crockett, William H. McClellan, George Patton and Price/Brice Nelson were put in jail in Provo in November 1889 and were there about four months. George Hancock was convicted of murder in January, 1890. He appealed the conviction and the conviction was overturned on a procedural technicality and a new trial was ordered. A second trial date was never set and a trail was never set for the shooting of Henry Jones.
Brigham Young sent Franklin Young to be President and Bishop of Payson on the fist of September 1859, to replace Bishop Hancock.
