Stories:

1. Timbrell Court- He inherited Timbrell Court in Bath, Somerset, England. It consisted of a large house with six cottages on either side. He inherited this without the right to sell unless demanded by the government. After joining with the LDS church he decided that he needed to go to Salt Lake with his family. He couldn't really leave with the property responsibility that he had. He felt that it was through devine intervention that the problem was solved. The city decided to buy this court and he was able to get his money from it and join the Saints in Salt Lake City.

2. James Timbrell Worlton had the blessing of having his life preserved miraculously many times. Once a man came to strike him from behind while he was preaching but was stopped as he began to swing by another hand from behind. Other occasions his life was saved, but he sufficed to say that on many occasions his life was spared miraculously.

3. He was a leather worker.

4. June 11 1843, James Timbrell Worlton was baptized. "He heard the gospel preached by Elder Hyde and found it to be true, so he joined himself with the church." unknown biographist.
