Some time in May 1855 Thomas Colbern [Colborn] and James Cace [Pace] Mormon Missionarys came to our house in Jacksonville <morgan> Co. Ill. Where we were then living being requested to do so by Pres. Brigham Young, to see if we were still in the Faith and desirous to gather with the Saints, and if so to assist us on our journey to Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, which offer we gladly accepted and all of us that was over eight years old were babtise [baptized] and rebabtised [rebaptized] and confirmed under the hands of James Cace [Pace].</morgan>



June 22d 1855 we started on our Journey to Salt Lake City. Same month arived in Saint Louis. Stayed there about two weeks untill the arival of other Saints from the Old Country.



The Steamboat Leconock no 2 was chartered on which we took pasage with the rest of the Saints during our passage up the Missouri River. Many of the pasengers were atac [attacked] with the C[h]olera[.] several died and were buried on the banks of the River in diferent placeses.



Sometime in July we arived at Atchisson Kansas and camped about three miles from there in what was known as Mormon Grove, the then outfiting place of the Saints previous to crossing the plains



July 28th 1855 we started on our Journey acros the Plains in a Train known as the Church Train but mostly owned by Erastus Snow one of the twelve Apostles. Isaac Alered [Allred] Capt[a]in and James Pace assistant



On the first part of the Journey I was very sick and came near dieing and was sick most of the Journey. we had a long and tedeyous journey acrost the plains of over one thousand miles in ox teams. (from Laram[i]e to Bridger the distance is about five hundred miles). The whole company ran out of provisions at Larime [Laramie] and had but one pint of Flour per head per day and not any thing else to eat till we arived at Bridger where we met teams from the Valey with provisions for us (the company).



We with the portions of the Train carrying Familes arived in Salt Lake City November 2d 1855 in the evening. The balance of the Train carrying Merchandise arived some time in December

After a ten week passage landed at New Orleans. Then we got on board a river boat and in two weeks landed at St. Louis Missouri where we arrived some time in April 1851. We stayed there avout two weeks then started for council Bluffs where we arrived in May of that year. Here we got our outfits to cross the plains.	
Here I must relate a dream or vision I had before I joined the Church and while I was investigating the principles of the gosple I dreamed there was Joseph he brought me across the plains and showed me all the camp grounds all along the road from the Bluffs into Salt Lake City, and very strang I never thought of my dream from the time I left England until I was helping to drive up our work oxen preparing to start across the plains and it all came to me like a flash that I had seen those cattle before in a vision. Allong the road I knew the camp grounds and when I came to the point of rocks at the mouth of Emigration Canyon I knew it perfectly. Joseph brought me unto the bench east of Salt Lake City and pointed with his hand and said there is Salt Lake City, and I was left there along [alone].	
We joined Kelsies Company of One Hundred and Isaac Al[l]red's Company of fifty we had three stampedes and one of which there was a woman and child killed my oxen under took to run I took hold of my leaders horns and held them so that they could not get away and there by saved my teams from the stampede. After one of them we found our cattle twenty miles away.	
October 3rd 1851 after a tedious journey we arrived in salt Lake Valley.
