Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
We arose early on the morning of the
to start on our journey to Nauvoo. We took breakfast and bade
farewell to the town of Farmington and the inhabitants thereof
Our company consisted of my father mother and cousin Betsey
Cossett with myself and little daughter Phebe
It was a pleasant morning. We rode to
New Britain in a waggon and when we were on the top
of the mountain I cast my eyes back upon my native place
I gave to it a final and probably my last adieu
We did not get to the station in season
for the passenger train so we took the baggage train to
New Haven. Here I found Elder ^Bro^ Adams from Springfield
and he went with me to the United States Riffle Factory
and I bought four riffles with extra barrels
After the various incidents usual
