                   John King came over on the sailing vessel George Washington. Elder
Orson Pratt had made a prophecy that if the saints would be humble and
faithful in ovservance of their prayers the ship would make the
fastest trip across the Atlantic of any ship carrying a company of
Latter-Day Saints. The ship made the crossing in 21 days and arrived
in Boston Harbor on April 17.

John King and William Hymas walked west. Worked for a farmer for 2
mos. then walked to Iowa took ill and was 2 years there. Then John
walked to Nebraska and joined the Horace - Haight Church Train
Company. They left on May 1859 and arrived in Salt Lake City 1 Sep
1859.

'He loved America and never had a desire to return to his homeland,
but in the fall of 1889 he was called to fill a mission to Great
Britian. He was an eager and willing missionary but, illness forced
him to return home. He had developed an asthma and was told by doctors
that he would surely die if he didn't leave England. His health did
improve after his return but he regretted his inability to complete
the mission.
