Joseph Grafton Hovy, II was the son of Joseph Grafton Hovey and Martha Ann Webster. He was born at Pike County, Illinois. His parents moved to Nauvoo and lived in a tent for two months until his father could build a log cabin. They suffered the persecu tion heaped upon the Saints; and after they were driven out, they gathered at Winter Quarters where his mother died when Joseph was eight years old.
