Jacob G. Bigler, a Patriarch in the Juab Stake of Zion, was born April 4, 1813, in Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia), the son of Mark Bigler and Suzanna (Ogden) Bigler. Patriarch Bigler wrote:
My boyhood days were passed at home with my parents at the place of my birth. I remained there till I was twenty-five years old. My father and I were farmers to which he also added stock raising on a small scale. During this time I heard “Mormonism” taught and was a believer, but did not join the church until I went to Far. West, Missouri in March, 1838. There I investigated the principals more fully and was thoroughly convinced of their truth. On the tenth of June, 1838, I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
After I had been in Far West a while, I bought a farm of 240 acres for my father and myself. We were to give $2, 000. 00 and paid $200.00 down to bind the bargain. Continue reading →

With the old version of the site showing its age, we decided it was time to overhaul the design and work some magic on the back-end.
What does this mean to you
Hopefully more information, and easier to find. Not only that, but you’ll be able to post comments on the content to (hopefully) help others out there with whatever information you can impart.
What does this mean to us
Since the site is now modular and database driven, we’ll be able to make updates faster, add new content in a more timely fashion, and get more in touch with you, our loyal readers.
Work in progress
As we’re migrating over to the new system some links may not work, some images may be broken, and who know what other bugs may be lurking out there. When you come across one of these bugs, please reply to this post (we probably know about it and are working on it, but just in case we’re not), give us the details, what page you were on, what link you clicked, what happened that wasn’t what you expected, etc.
Thank you
Thanks for your patience and your visits in the past! We hope that things will only get better from here!
