Notes - The next child was their son, John. We have not found his christening record and there is some confusion concerning the day of his birth. The membership records give the date of March 25, 1833, but the family Bible lists March 20, 1833. In the census of 1841 John was listed as age 9, and living at home with his parents.
His mother died the following year and he and his younger brother, Edward, went to live with his relative, Esther Wager, who was a widow. Her son, Jeremiah, was living at home and like John, was classed as an agriculture laborer. The 1851 census also lists John and Edward as agriculture laborers. John was 19 and Edward was 16. Their older brother George had also stayed there years before.
Three years later John married Charlotte Taylor, daughter of Edward Taylor and Ann Nichols at the Brimsfield Church on May 18 1853 by the Rector W. Moore. He had not reached his 21st birthday, and Charlotte was only 19, so they needed the consent of Charlotte’s parents. The marriage was witnessed by his brother, George Taylor, and Louisa Gyther, whom George later married.
Charlotte was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and John was taught the gospel. He received a witness that it was the true church and he was baptized by his brother-in-law, George Taylor on February 5, 1854. They had a daughter, Hannah Louisa, born in 1854 at Foston Ash in Granham. John was then a husbandman.
In 1856 they joined the Taylor family and a group of saints and set sail on the S.S. Thorton for New York and Utah. They stayed in Salt Lake City until 1861 when they were sent to Goshen, Utah to settle.[3]
