back into The United States after 1836.

In 1836, Parley P. Pratt brought

to Canada. There was also a political unrest referred to as
the Mackenzie's Rebellion at about this time. Many people left to
escape consequences of it.

John and Deborah Lamoreaux Leithead
Deborah was a cousin of my David B Lamoreaux,
the daughter of my John’s brother
Joshua and Ann Cross Lamoreaux. They left Canada probably
the year after our Lamoreaux families left. John's journal tells of
the trip from Toronto to Kirtland and  Adam-ondi-Ahman.
The Leitheads also settled "The Muddy" with my Asay family.
He kept a journal of his travels.
A part of his journal is included here:
