HISTORY: 1) "At age 15, David migrated with his family to Lima, Adams Co., Illinois, where he united with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1839. In Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois, he was ordained a seventy and received his endowment on 28 January 1846 in the Nauvoo Temple (Nauvoo Temple Register). He and his wife, Dolly, fled from religious persecution in Nauvoo to Iowa Territory. In Council Bluffs, David and his brothers, Phillip Garner and William A. Garner, enlisted in the Mormon Battalion. He left his wife and three children on the banks of Mosquito Creek, Iowa Territory, to march with the battalion. He marched from Council Bluffs to Santa Fe, where he was assigned to the sick detachment and sent to Fort Pueblo (Tyler, Concise, 169). After wintering in the fort he migrated to the Salt Lake Valley, arriving on 27 July 1847. On 16 August 1847 David departed from the valley to Council Bluffs, where he united with his family (Carter, Heart, 8:414-15). They then migrated to the Salt Lake Valley. From 1850 to 1870 he resided in Ogden Canyon, Weber, Utah, where he increased his real wealth from $30 in 1850 to $1500 in 1870 through farming. His personal wealth increased from zero in 1850 to $1000 in 1870 (Utah Federal Census, 1850, 1870).
