Died: 27 Sep 1897 Place:

John's father died when he was fourteen years of age, and he went to live with his father's brother and wife. He joined the LDS Church in 1837 when he was 22 years of age. In the spring of 1841, he joined the Saints in Nauvoo and was one of the second company to leave Nauvoo in March, 1846 for the West. He married Priscilla McHenry, and they were the parents of two boys, James and Amos. She returned to her home with James, and he journeyed West with Amos. Enroute he met a young woman by the name of Aimira Higgins who, with her father's (Nelson Higgins) family, was also journeying to the Valley of Salt Lake City, Utah. He answered the call made by Brigham Young to go with the Mormon Battalion to fight against Mexico. Before leaving, he married Almira Higgins and, in her care he left his small son Amos.

Almira Higgins Chase was the daughter of Nelson and Sarah Blackman Higgins. She was married to John Darwin Chase, a member of the Mormon Battalion and was one of the women who accompanied the Battalion on its famous march. In 1849 they were called to help settle Manti where her husband later presided as bishop at Fort Ephraim. In 1856 they went to Carson Valley, Nevada and then returned to Nephi. From there they moved to Moroni. Here Almira and two daughters died the same day having been stricken with smallpox. She was the mother of twelve children.
