Mr. MERCHANT was married in Hancock County, Ill., April 15, 1844, to Miss
Hortensia PATRICK, who was born in Franklin County, Mass., March 30, 1824. In
1843 she came to Kirtland, Ohio, and remained there one year, and then went
to Illinois and remained with her brother until she was married. Lucius and
Hortensia were married at Nauvoo, IL, according to LDS Records.

Many of us had Mormon ancestors who migrated with the large contingent who
settled at Winter Quarters on the banks of the Missouri River in and near
Harrison County. If you want to see if your ancestor is listed as a Mormon
pioneer, and find resources that may list their names, the LDS Church web
site recently established is a great place to check their database. This is
not the www.familysearch.com site, although that is a great one too. This
one is a database of early pioneers and can be found at:

You can search by surname.

I hope this is helpful.
