Zerah Pulsipher 24 Jun 1788 - 1 Jan 1872

As I was going through the internet I found an Autobiography of Zerah Puslipher that he wrote himself. I downloaded it for myself but I did not write it. The link for this Autobiography is here.

Also there is a link to his descendant's here. It was fun to see how many records that have been put onto the internet and I am very appreciative for the hard work that has been done so that others like myself can know more about our Ancestors. I found this photo that was take at the Hebron Cemetery, Hebron, Utah, United States from this web site.

They were married 16 January 1812 and lived on a farm. The them were born eight children: five boys and three girls - Warren, John, Millen, Emily, Miner Grant, Samuel, Mary and Fanny. Dan was honest in his dealings with his fellowmen and
a firm believer in God and the Scriptures being allied with the Methodist faith. He instructed his children in his religious belief. All his children received a common school education, which was a blessing and privilege in those days. A few years after his marriage he moving to Mansfield where he rented farms for several years and by being careful he was in a few years able to make a down payment on a farm of his own. He was assisted by his sons. They went into the brick business too so before too long they had paid for their farm. When he heard the L.D.S. Missionaries explain the Gospel he could soon see their teachings coincided with the scriptures and in 1845 he, his wife and 6 of their children were baptized into the church. His two eldest sons, Warren and John, never They now worked to the end of emigrating to Utah and on April 1850 they left their native state for Utah.

They traveled to New York where they joined Wilford Woodruff's Company. Members of the family who left were Dan Atwood and his wife Polly, Emily and her husband William Branch and child, Miner Grant and wife Mary Delilah Builde, Samuel, Mary and Fanny. Their son Millen came to Utah in Brigham Young's first company of pioneers so when they arrived in Salt Lake City, 14 October 1850 part of the family spent the winter with him. Dan was taken ill with cholera on the trip but survived. When spring came he purchased a farm. He died November 1863 in Salt Lake City at the age of 76 years.
