The Kent, the Thomas and the Luce familes are my husband's mother's people. She comes through Martin Washburn Thomas who was the son of Nathaniel Thomas and Susan Luce Thomas.. Nathaniel sold his farm and paid for wagons and supplies for several of the Saints so that they could come to ZION.
They buried a daughter in New York while traveling through. Another daughter died in Nauvoo. Then Nathaniel died in Nauvoo ,nine days after the Prophet Joseph Smith was killed by a mob. His wife was expecting her last child when Nathaniel died and the baby girl died also. So, she buried her last baby girl ,along with her husband and the girl who died earlier, in the old Nauvoo Cemetery and took her two remaining boys to Utah with her. Martin Washburn Thomas was one of those two boys.

I believe that Wilford Woodruff has some of the most interesting experiences in church history, beginning with his own conversion. Jonathan Harriman Hale is my husband's 3rd great-grandfather.
