He was born in England, where as an adult, he heard the message of missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and was baptized. He emigrated to America along with other members of his family. In 1855, he made the trek across the American plains in the John Hindley Company. In 1858 he married Margaret Mustard. They became the parents of eleven children. This photograph contains children from his marriage to Margaret only. In 1869 he took a second wife in plural marriage. Her name was Ann Treasure. They became the parents of seven children. His second wife’s family was firmly planted in the area where their local ward was named for the Treasure family.
