Many of descendants have long known James Durfee and his brother Edmund Durfee and two others became early followers ofJoseph Smith in New York. James and Edmund followed Joseph Smith west, helped to construct the Mormon Kirkland temple and both died in or near Lima, Illinois and are buried on the Nauvoo temple grounds. Cynthia and her daughter Alzina had been given as plural wives of George Parker Dykes. Alzina and John Dalgarn’s offspring have told their kids that John was never a member and that Alzina embraced John’s Protestant religion when they married. This is what prompted her to leave the Winter Quarters and move east. Alzina Dalgarn was the daughter of James Durfee (1798-1844) & Cynthia Elizabeth Soule (1800-1847). James died on 16 July 1844 and is buried in the Nauvoo Temple cemetery. His widow Cynthia and their daughter Alzina (1 of their 19 children) were given in marriage to George Parker Dykes & sealed in the same ceremony on 9 Jan 1846. Alzina would have only been 13 at the time of this marriage. She was his 3rd wife, while her mother was his 2nd. Following her mother’s death of child bed fever on 11 Jan 1847 at the Mormon’s Winter Quarters, Alzina and several of her siblings left the Mormon church and moved back to Illinois, where Alzina married John W, Dalgarn in a legal marriage on 19 March 1850 in Adams County, Illinois.
