Samuel and Phoebe were baptized in 1842 and made plans to leave for Zion as soon as possible. One week before they were to leave, phoebe died. Samuel didn't change his mind. A little later, he and his two daughters sailed for America.

Upon reaching the Valley, he went on to Ogden where he located a farm. In 1857, he married Hannah, a widow with two small daughters.

When Samuel learned that the railroad would be coming to Utah, he traded his property for a log home in Paradise, Utah. They moved in 1869 to escape the "bad influence" he felt the railroad would bring. He was a very devout and serious person. he was strict with his children and very frugal.

He was a high priest in his ward when he died. Hannah died 10 months before he did.
