In 1851, his mother and family went with C. C. Rich and A. M. Lyman to settle San Bernardino. Previous to going she gave her negro slave Green Flake (one of the Pioneers of 1847) to the Church as tithing. He then worked two years in Pres Young <with his wife worked for> and Heber C. Kimball, and then got his liberty and settled near Union.
