They joined the Mormon Church in 1838 and traveled to Missouri where they participated in the Mormon Exodus from Missouri in late 1838 and early 1839. They lived in Nauvoo and again took part in the great Mormon Exodus to Utah. They did not, however, arrive in Utah until 1852 because they had been assigned to stay in Iowa and farm so that food would be available for migrating Mormons. They eventually settled in Springville, Utah where they raised a family of nine children. Descendants live in Utah and other western states.
