John was named Jean as a child, but when he emigrated to America , he changed his name to John . He was 42 at the time. When he was six years old, his father was drowned at sea. When he was nine, he went to live with a farmer who was good to him. He lived there 14 years, until he married Caroline . John worked for a candle manufacturing company and also delivered goods on a horse and wagon from the docks and factories to the stores. His wife sold produce from their garden, from a small store in the front room of their home. They were baptized into the Church in 1849 . Caroline 's sister and her husband were baptized the same day. After their baptism, they were shunned by all their former friends and customers, which made it almost impossible to earn the funds to leave. Caroline 's uncle, Jean , had saved sufficient funds in the Perpetual Emigration Funds, so they were able to help John and his family, plus others. They all sailed in April and then went by train and boat to Mormon Grove , where they joined a wagon company. Two weeks after their arrival in Salt Lake , their uncle died and their aunt moved in with them. After a month, John moved his family to West Bountiful or Woods Cross , where John worked at any job he could find. When the call came to go south, they left and stayed in American Fork until they were able to return to their home. John and his family worked hard to get out of debt and make a living. In 1862 John became ill and was taken to a hospital in Salt Lake where he died. Children of 1st wife: Son, b. 1837 . Mary Ann Julia , b. 23 Sep 1838 , St. Peter, Channel Islands .
