#712 Orson Pratt
Mary (wife) (age 30) (Mary Ann Merrill)
Milanda (age 2) (Milando Merrill Pratt)
Vianna Merrill Pratt (born March 13, 1851)
Mary Ann Merrill was born June 2, 1819, in Southold, Suffolk, New York. Her parents were Valentine and Lydia Sisson Merrill. She was the ninth of thirteen children. She married Orson Pratt on March 27, 1845, in Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois. They were the parents of five children.
After being driven out of Nauvoo, Mary Ann remained in Harris Grove, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, while her husband accompanied the band of path riders of 1847 to the Salt Lake Valley. It was the intention of Mary Ann to join her husband upon his return from the long trip across the plains to Utah and with him return to the valleys of the mountains. This was not to be, however, for some time. Apostle Orson Pratt returned to Winter Quarters, but it was for the purpose of making arrangements to go to Europe as president of the mission, he having been called for that work by President Brigham Young. Apostle Pratt accordingly left his wife with others of his family until his return from Europe. Mary Ann then immigrated with her husband to the valley of the Great Salt Lake and arrived in September 1851.
The story of the life of Mary Ann Merrill Pratt is best told perhaps in the following synopsis which was written by herself in connection with her genealogical record. She died on December 12, 1903, in Salt Lake City. The following was read at her funeral:
“My father, Valentine Merrill, and his brother Marvin were potters. Marvin invented the first sugar loaf molds for making loaf sugar, made of clay, for which they got the patent right, and manufactured many thousand dollars’ worth, which they shipped to the New York market by a sailing vessel. Their business they carried on at Norwalk village, which was pleasantly located and had a commanding view of the water as it ebbed and flowed. Their vessel came in at high water mark, up a narrow creek. They unloaded the clay for making their ware at the right side of the vessel and reloaded the ware from a warehouse at the left.”
“My father was in the war of 1812. He was a staunch Whig and was always on the side of equal rights and religious freedom.”
“I became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in February 1842, at Norwalk, Connecticut. I emigrated to Nauvoo, Illinois, in August 1843, where I married Prof. Orson Pratt, who was one of the Twelve Apostles of the Church. The latter part of February, 1846, I was exiled from Nauvoo, I had to leave my home with the rest of the people, to seek a home among the savages in the far distant west; and as my forefathers and mothers fled from persecution, so did I, that here in my mountain home I might breathe the air of freedom of thought and action and enjoy that patriotic feeling that courses through my veins, inherited by my ancestors–the ‘Merrill blood’—who rather suffer privations away from the land of their birth, than dwell with the unjust. Bust our enemies have followed our footsteps and are trying to bring us into bondage, depriving us of our political and religious rights by inducing Congress to enact and pass ex post facto laws contrary to the constitutional laws of our country (1).”
Orson Pratt preceded Mary Ann in death. He died on October 13, 1881, in Salt Lake City. Both are buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
Delia (wife) (age 23) (Adelia Ann Bishop)

Adelia Ann died on December 29, 1913, in Salt Lake City. From her obituary published in the Ogden Standard newspaper the following was written:
“Mrs. Pratt came to Utah in 1851, seven years after having been married to Elder Pratt. She joined the “Mormon” colony at Nauvoo in 1842, and when the people were expelled from that place, Elder Pratt removed with his family to Harris Grove, where Mrs. Pratt and the children remained while her husband came on to Utah with the Pioneers. Although he had established a home here and had prepared to return for his family, he was sent on a mission to England, and during his three years stay there, Mrs. Pratt and the children continued their residence at Harris Grove until 1851, when Elder Pratt returned and accompanied the family west. With the exception of a few years in Tooele County, the family has resided in this city since that time (2).

The Zufelt family joined the Allen Weeks Company in 1852.

On March 30, 1836, they were blessed with their first child, a baby daughter. They named her Elizabeth, after both of her grandmothers and called her Betsie. They moved from Henry County in about 1837. They moved to Caldwell County, Missouri, although they were not members of the Latter-Day Saint church at the time. James’ parents and two sisters had joined the Church in 1831 and were living in Caldwell County. They were a close family and feared for them. At one point, they met with a posse, and one member of the mob became angry and hit James over the head with his gun barrel, smashing his head and giving them a warning that if they weren't gone by the next morning, they would return and kill all of them. One of the men told them to go to a certain vacant house, where James was taken out of the wagon and doctors performed an operation on his head. They cut his scalp in four parts, drawn down as far as his ears and forehead, but they were fearful of the posse and left him in this condition. His left arm and side were paralyzed because the blow, but James recovered sufficiently to work and care for his family, even though he never had the use of one arm. He suffered from seizures the rest of his life.
The family joined the Mormon Church and moved in fear from place to place, eventually moving to Nauvoo where they stayed until the Saints were driven out. The next place they settled was Harris Grove to wait for the trek west. By this time, they had three living children. One child had died in infancy and Betsie had died at about age two in Missouri. The next three children were born in Harris Grove—Malinda, born October 13, 1847; Martha Ellen, born January 13, 1849; and James Powell, Jr., born March 25, 1852.

In Ogden, the Weber River divided their farmland and their home. In July 1854, James was crossing the river on his horse, suffered a seizure, and being alone, fell into the river and was drowned. His body was found the next day. Jemima was left with six children. James, Jr. died in 1853 just after they had settled in Ogden. She married Richard Williams in 1857 and died in 1893 in Price, Carbon County, Utah.

Bryant Heber Jolley (born 26 Feb 1851)
Henry Bryant Manning Jolley was born on October 11, 1813, in Pitt County, North Carolina and moved with his family to Tennessee where he grew up on a cotton and tobacco plantation. 
Brittanna was born on May 1, 1814, at a tobacco and cotton plantation near the Tar River at Old Sparta, North Carolina. Her mother died when she was three years old. She went to live with her mother’s sister and her husband who eventually moved to Dresden, Tennessee.
Here at the age of nineteen she met and married Henry Bryant Manning Jolley. They lived around Dresden for the next ten years where Brittanna gave birth to five children. Two died in infancy. The large family of Jolleys heard the Gospel and all joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1842. They were anxious to gather with the Saints in Nauvoo and did so that same year. Their sixth child was born in Nauvoo months before they fled.
When the family were driven from Nauvoo, they settled just across the Mississippi River near Keosauqua, Iowa where Brittanna’s seventh baby was born. They traveled to Iowa where they settled in Harris Grove. They remained for the next several years and Brittanna had her eighth child—Bryant Heber Jolley. Because of Henry Bryant Manning’s experience as a farmer, he was called by Brigham Young to remain in Iowa and produce food for the Saints as they outfitted for the trek across the plains westward.
Finally, in 1852, Henry Bryant Manning was chosen as the Captain of the Company. They left Kanesville with about 65 wagons and 340 individuals. They departed Kanesville on June 15, to across the Plains. Brittanna and her two youngest children traveled in a horse drawn carriage.
The Jolley family first settled in Palmyra, Utah County, Utah Territory where the last of their ten children was born. They then moved to Spanish Fork where they built a fort. Henry Bryant Manning helped block out the new city and was elected to the first city council. They moved south to Pond Town, now Salem, where he served for five years as the first bishop. A call came for people who understood cotton culture to settle Utah’s Dixie and build up a new industry—naturally the Jolleys were called. The climate in the new location was hot and dry. Henry Bryant Manning found lush grazing land for his livestock to the east in Long Valley and moved his family there. They were forced to relocate to New Harmony after an Indian uprising but returned to Long Valley with their large extended family five years later and established the settlement of Mt. Carmel in Kane County. Henry Bryant Manning was called to be the first bishop, an office he held for over 30 years. A Church Historian made the following entry: “Bishop H.B.M. Jolley who weighs 255 pounds is by far the largest bishop in the Kanab Stake and everyone in the place has a natural right to call him father or uncle. He is one of the long-tried and faithful veterans of the Church and seems to have the confidence of everyone.” In 1880, at the age of 66, he returned to North Carolina as a missionary from 1890-92. He passed away at the age of 82 on March 21, 1896, at Mt. Carmel. Brittanna had already passed away in 1885.

One was born in Bennington County and 2 were born in Hampshire, Massachusetts. When the youngest was less than four years old, their mother, Sarah, died on October 13, 1844.
William joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in February of 1845. In 1848, he and his children went to St. Louis where they boarded the steamer Mandan with other Saints headed for Kanesville. Among the Saints on the steamer were Sarah Mariah Clinton Tuttle and her children.
When the steamboat was about 150 miles from St. Louis, it hit a rock and almost sunk. The passengers got ashore and camped for two weeks while the steamship was taken back to St. Louis and repaired. After they arrived, probably at Trader’s Point, they were counseled that if they did not have sufficient funds to go west, they should move to Iowa and raise corn and cattle to obtain the funds. William moved to Harris Grove.
William met Martha Ann Utley in Harris Grove and married her on November 23, 1849. Martha Ann was the daughter of Littlejohn Utley and Elizabeth Rutledge. She was born on April 25, 1832 in Marion, Perry, Alabama. They had one child while living there, Martha Ann Elizabeth Adams, born in September 1850. By 1852, the family was ready to travel west. They joined the Allen Weeks Company, leaving Kanesville on July 13. While they were camped at the Loup Fork Crossing in Nebraska Territory, their daughter died on July 23 and Martha Ann Utley Adams died on July 26, 1852.
William continued the journey and settled in Tooele County, Utah Territory. On January 5, 1853, he married Mary Angeline Tuttle. He was acquainted with that family as they have been on the steamboat Mandan and had also lived at Harris Grove. The couple had five children—only one lived past one year. William died on January 5, 1861, in Tooele.
#738 Sarah Tuttle (age 57) (Sarah Mariah Clinton) (widow of Edward Tuttle)
Angeline (age 22) (Mary Angeline Tuttle)
Norton (age 20) (Norton Ray Tuttle) (married Helen Elizabeth Tuttle)
Sarah Mariah Clinton was born July 29, 1793, in New Haven County, Connecticut. She was the fourth of ten children born to Jesse Eaton Clinton and Patience Todd. Her husband, Edward Tuttle, passed away at the age of 56 years. Edward, Sarah and two daughters had been baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints about one year before his death. In April 1848, Sarah and her two daughters and one son left St. Louis on the steamer Mandan with about 150 Saints bound for Winter Quarters. When about 150 miles from St. Louis on the Missouri River, their steamboat ran on a rock in the middle of the river. Their boat came nearly sinking at 12 o'clock at night. They succeeded in getting ashore, camped in the woods on the riverbank for two weeks, and the boat went back, to St. Louis for repairs. The boat returned and took them up the river, landing at the Winter Quarters area about the first of May 1848. Their family and some others crossed the Missouri River into Iowa and settled in Harris Grove.
Sarah’s son, Norton Ray, met and married Helen Elizabeth Utley on August 14, 1851, while in Harris Grove. Their first child, Sarah E. Tuttle was born June 7, 1852, also at Harris Grove. Sarah traveled with her family in the Allen Weeks Company to the Salt Lake Valley. Her family all settled in the Tooele area. Her daughter, Mary Angeline Tuttle, married William Britton Adams on January 5, 1853, in Tooele. Another daughter, Sarah Mariah Tuttle married Joseph Mecham, Jr. in 1853 in Salt Lake City. Sarah died on July 31, 1867.

Agness (age 2) (Mary Agnes Utley)
Littlejohn Utley was born on February 1, 1806, near Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. He was the third of eleven children born to Littlejohn Utley and Sarah Walton. Littlejohn and his older brother, Samuel, went to Marion, Perry County, Alabama. On December 24, 1829, married Elizabeth Rutledge. Elizabeth was the daughter of Richard Rutledge and Winifred Patience Elizabeth Blanche Smith. She was born on January 31, 1809, in Lancaster County, South Carolina. Her father was a cotton and tobacco planter.
In 1843, Littlejohn and his family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In accordance with Church instructions, they moved to Nauvoo. Their eighth child was born in 1884 in Nauvoo. In the early part of February 1846, they left Nauvoo and traveled through Iowa. They settled in Harris Grove. Their last two children were born in Harris Grove.
Littlejohn was a skilled blacksmith and was asked to stay in Harris Grove to make wagons for those going west. He worked with his brother Samuel, to cut timber for wagons and season it in the rafters of the log cabin and make the ironed wheels.
In July 1852, the Utley family joined the Allen Weeks Company for the westward trek. Their married daughters, Martha Ann Utley who married William Britton Adams and Helen Elizabeth Utley who had married Norton Ray Tuttle traveled with them,
During the later weeks of July, Littlejohn’s two-year old granddaughter, his daughter, and his wife died of cholera near the Loup Fork crossing. Three weeks later, his brother, Samuel, died of cholera. Littlejohn arrived in the Salt Lake Valley with his five motherless children and his brothers two orphaned children. The families settled in Tooele County, Utah Territory. In 1853, his five-year-old daughter, Mary Agnes, was accidently shot and killed.
Brigham Young, in the 1861 October General Conference, called Littlejohn to settle in St. George. He became close friends with Jacob Hamblin. On July 11, 1863, he married Deborah Atkins White Wright, the widow of Phineas Wright. She brought with her to the marriage a two-year old daughter.
Littlejohn and Jacob Hamblin were asked by Brigham Young to build a flatboat that could sail down the Virgin River and on to the Colorado River. They built the Virgin Adventure which not only negotiated the lower Virgin but reach Call’s Landing.
Littlejohn returned to Tooele before the birth of his son Edward on August 23, 1867. He and Deborah were the parents of four sons. Their youngest son was only 10 months old when Littlejohn died on December 21, 1872, at Tooele.

Edward Hawkins, Jr. and his wife, Charity Elizabeth Shipman, had a son born on September 27, 1800, in Willsboro, Essex County, New York. They named him Uriah Hawkins. He was the second of eight children born to the couple.
Uriah married Lydia Ann Hawkins in 1836 while living in Kirtland, Ohio. Lydia was born on May 15, 1816, in New York. Together they had nine children. The first one born in Harris Grove was Esther Hawkins born on April 14, 1848. Uriah Hawkins, Jr. was also born there on April 25, 1850.
The family decided not to travel west when many families from Harris Grove departed for the Salt Lake Valley. Instead, they moved to Cass Township, Harrison County, Iowa to make their home. Uriah was baptized a member of the Reorganized Church in 1863. Uriah died on September 29, 1869. He was buried in the Hawkins Cemetery which is located near Iowa Highway 44.
Harris Grove Branch Records (4)
The Harris Grove Branch was organized on July 15, 1848. It existed until 1852 when the members were asked to travel to the Salt Lake Valley. In 1991, Ronald G. Watt published the Iowa Branch Index 1839-1859 where it listed the Branch Organization and a list of the members. Two hundred forty-one members were listed. Some of the names on the list were taken from narrative in the Branch Records.
