It is possible that he began with Dwelling #1020 and concluded with on November 12th with Dwelling #1032 and then returned in on November 17th with Dwelling #1136 thru Dwelling #1147.

Pleasant Grove Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
The settlers in Down’s Mill belonged to the Pleasant Grove Branch. James Downs was the appointed bishop of Pleasant Grove Branch for some time until 1850 (1). Sometime during the year, he and his wife Mary Greathouse headed towards Utah with the Warren Foote Company. The Frontier Guardian mentions that both John Davis Parker, candidate for Commissioner of Pottawattamie County and J. M. Stewart, contributor of various poems in the newspaper, lived in Pleasant Grove (2).
Dwight Harding settled with his family on “Mosquit[o] Creek” in 1846, almost seven miles from Kanesville (3). While they might not have lived in the town, they attended church there. On April 27, 1851, Johnson F. Lane wrote a letter of recommendation to Dwight Harden (Harding) of Pleasant Grove, reporting the regular attendance and good standing of him and his family—Phebe, George, Alma, and Charles—in the branch. The letter is signed by both Johnson F. Lane, Branch President, and John G. Smith who was clerk for the Pleasant Grove Branch at the time. Harding’s family left for Utah the following September.
Ezekiel Downs, father of James Downs, was a prominent figure in Pottawattamie County’s church history. He and his family went through much persecution as members of the church. Being a good friend of Joseph Smith, Ezekiel left the church when the prophet was martyred, saying “Well this is the last, my best friend is gone, surely there is nothing to this after all. I am through.” After his daughter was married in Pleasant Grove, he and his son Sidney stayed in Iowa while Ezekiel’s wife, Charlotte Rawlins, and the rest of their children traveled with various companies to Utah between 1850 and 1852 (4).
Those new residents added from the Pleasant Grove Branch are in bold type.
