Rufus presented claims against the state of Missouri forpossession of property. Rufus was a Pioneer of 1847 arriving in Salt Lake Valley with Capt. Daniel Spencer's 100, Capt. Ira Eldredge's 50 and Capt. Samuel Ensign's 10 acres.
Rufus Abbott's 40 Acres is on the list of Forfeited properties to the State of Missouri in OCt 1863. After the massacre at Haun's Mill of the Mormons. Rufus and his family had to run for their lives after having a son, Hiram... Killed in the Battle. Thereby abandoning his acreage. He later filed a claim against the state of Missouri for the value of the property.
Rufus and Anna Abbott were among the earliest converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Joining the faith in 1830 in the State of New York. Soon after joining with the Church, the Abbott family was among the earliest settlers in the "Mormon" communities in Jackson County, Missouri. The Abbott family was soon forced from the area. Following their expulsion, their son Hiram Abbott settled on Shoal Creek at Jacob Haun's Mill. Hiram was severaly wounded during the attack on Haun's Mill and died 5 weeks Later.
After the Extermination Order of Missouri Governor Lilburn Boggs in 1839, the Abbotts left with the other LDS faithful, and eventually found refuge in Beautiful Nauvoo. Rufus and Anna purchased land in the 3rd Ward where they began to reestablish themselves in a new place. Scrimping and saving, they eventually had enough money to build their own home here. Rufus put the best materials into their beautiful new brick home. The staircase, a symbol of one's wealth, was noted as one of the finest in Nauvoo because it was so wide.
The Abbotts completed the home in 1846, but fate did not allow them to rest in it long. In the late spring of that year, they packed some of their earthly possessions, loaded up an ox drawn wagon and bade farewell to their beloved home and farm in the Beautiful City. They followed Brigham Young, and arrived in the Great Salt Lake Valley in the fall of 1847.
