I married Keziah String, February 11,1819. Soon after I moved to Cincinnati. About the first of May,1832, my father and mother, Isaac and Sophia Higbee, John H. Higbee and wife, John T. Kerr and Margaret, his wife
(who was my wife's sister), myself and wife Keziah, and a few months later Elias Higbee and wife, were all baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
About April 1st we all emigrated to Jackson County, Missouri. When I arrived there I sent Elias Higbee to the land office to enter eighty acres of land on the Big Blue, in what was Lyman Wight's settlement. The Bishop traded the land, twenty acres to my father, thirty to Elias, and thirty to me.
When we were driven out of Jackson County, Joseph Smith (the Prophet) was in need of money to pay his lawyers, etc. I gave the Bishop leave of my land to help Joseph to settle his debts which I presume he did.
I was driven from my home in Jacksonn County, and crossed the Missouri river into Clay County, November 9, 1833. The day was very rainy. That night my son was born."
