Immigration to Utah

George Washington Bradley of Moroni, Utah, Written by himself and printed in The Sentinel, N.S. I was born in the town of Salem, Washington County, State of New York on the 15th day of January 1813. My Parents were Pierce James Bradley and Abigail (Abiah) Richmond. My parents were also god-fearing people, according to the traditions of their fathers. Pierce James Bradley and Abigail (Abiah) Richmond are listed as George Washington Bradley as his parents in 2 Patriarchal Blessings from the L.D.S church records.

In the year 1842, I heard Elder Zebedee Coltrin of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints preach. To me it sounded as pure Gospel.
