About Abigail Busenbark

History - In 1824 Isaac married Abigail Manning, who was born in New Jersey in June of 1807. Her parents were Nathan Manning and Sara Leech (or Leach). The family lived just four miles south of the Peter Whitmer farm where the L.D.S. Church was organized, so they were some of the first to hear the true gospel. Isaac and his wife Abigail and three children were baptized into the Church by John Smith, uncle of the Prophet Joseph Smith, in May 1842. The next four children were baptized in the years 1848 and 1849.

The family left the state of New York in 1842, where they had comfort and security and where their people had been wealthy land owners; but Isaac was disinherited because of the new religion. They moved to Nauvoo, Illinois where the body of the church was located and lived there in Iowa for about four years. Isaac received a patriarchal blessing from Hyrum Smith, the brother of the Prophet. While in Illinois they experienced the same persecution as the rest of the Saints. In February of 1846 they left Nauvoo, being driven out with the others, crossing the Mississippi River on the journey west. They stayed a short time at Sugar Creek, Iowa, then moved on to Honey Creek, near Council Bluffs, Iowa. They stayed in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, and in Winter Quarters, across the Missouri River, in Nebraska.

On June 18th 1852, Abigail died. Their six months old baby Isaac died as well and both were buried in the old church cemetery at Winter Quarters. In the last part of June, 1852, Isaac and seven children started for Utah. Two of the children had died and the three oldest daughters had married and had gone West previously. Seven children and no mother to care for them made for a trying time for all concerned. They arrived in Salt Lake Valley on 17 September 1852 and were advised to settle in North Ogden, Weber Co., Utah. Like many of the early pioneers, Isaac Busenbark helped to settle several places in Utah and Nevada.
