Not all the children were clubbed to death; the Mormons spared the under-8s (due to the age of accountability), though they did, IIRC, kill some of the under-8s whom they thought would blab about what happened. The survivors were, I think, sent to live with various Mormon families in the area. There are reports that many were not well cared for.
