It may have a number of useful ideas, including the collections of the Church History Library and the use of Wikis:<br /><br />http://theancestorfiles.blogspot.com/2014/01/researching-your-mormon-ancestors.htmlAmy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037263182287268748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446893552661887965.post-20738028123837741512014-06-04T13:54:50.923-04:002014-06-04T13:54:50.923-04:00I am searching for information on early Saints who...I am searching for information on early Saints who joined the church in Winston County Mississippi. I found information that an Elder Bramwell baptized relatives on 10 Oct 1887. The Haggard family had a daughter named Sally, who married Elijah Grifith Bullard. They introduced my grandmother Carabel Graves Pledge to MISSIONARIES in the early 1950s in California. I want my children and grandchildren to know their church history began with sacrifice from these early Saints. I would enjoy finding <br />Information on this time in History.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17075450097641754843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446893552661887965.post-13715749041207861342014-03-29T12:20:36.656-04:002014-03-29T12:20:36.656-04:00Thanks, Jared.

He desired the Elders to use their own judgement about coming. Accordingly<br />on July 31, 1885, Elders W. E. Bingham and W. G. Cragun walked about 30 miles part of the<br />distance through the woods and after night, they staid all night at Mr. Bailey Barkers'. Next day,<br />Brothers James Patterson and James Watts pilotted them through the woods for about 15 miles, so<br />they arrived in the nation without it being known in the country round about. They spent part of a<br />day and two nights in the woods while they remained in the Nation.
