Family 1 Johnson, Marinda Nancy, b. 28 Jun 1815, Pomfret, Windsor, Vermont, USA , d. 25 Mar 1886, Spring City, Sanpete, Utah, USA (Age 70 years) Married 4 Sep 1834 , Geauga, Ohio, USA [18, 19] Notes - Comments: Hyde, Orson (male)Orson, a member of the council of the Twelve Apostles from 1835 to 1878, and president of the quorum from 1847 to 1875, was born January 8, 1805, in Oxford, New Haven county, CT. His father, who was an athletic witty and talented man, fought, and was several times wounded in the U.S. Army, serving in Canada, under General Brown, and on the frontier in the war of 1812. His mother having died when he was seven years old, Orson and his eight brothers and three sisters were scattered, and he was placed under the care of a gentleman named Nathan Wheeler, with whom he stayed till eighteen years of age. Mr. Wheeler moving from Derby, CT, to Kirtland, Ohio, when Orson was fourteen years old, the boy had to walk the whole distance, six hundred miles, carrying his knapsack. On striking out into the world for himself he worked at several occupations, and part of the time served as clerk in the store of Gilbert & Whitney, in Kirtland. In 1827 a religious revival made quite a stir in the neighborhood of Kirtland, and he became converted to the Methodist faith, and was appointed as class leader. Subsequently, under the preaching of Sidney Rigdon, he embraced the doctrine of the Campbellites and was baptized by immersion. He then took up his abode in the town of Mentor, Ohio, and commenced to study under the care o+f Sidney Rigdon and others, becoming proficient in several branches of education. He then began to preach, assisting in the formation of several Campbellite branches in Lorain and Huron counties, Ohio, over which he was appointed pastor in 1830. In the fall of the year several "Mormons" visited that neighborhood bringing the called "golden Bible," of which he read a portion, and by request he preached against it. But feeling that he had done wrong, he determined to oppose it no more until he had made further investigation. He accordingly went to Kirtland to see the Prophet Joseph, and there found that Sidney Rigdon and others of his former friends had embraced the "new gospel." After diligent inquiry he became himself convinced of its truth.
