Zions Camp Participant[]
This Judith Mehr rendition depicts struggles endured by members of Zion's Camp, an expeditionary force to help Church members in Jackson County redeem their brethren.
One of the most interesting episodes in the early history of LDS Church was the march of Zion's Camp (1834). The members of the Church in Missouri were being persecuted, and the Prophet Joseph made it a matter of prayer and received a revelation on February 24, 1834. The Lord instructed the Prophet to assemble at least one hundred young and middle-aged men and to go to the land of Zion, or Missouri. (See D&C 130:19–34.)
Zion’s Camp, a group of approximately one hundred and fifty men, gathered at Kirtland, Ohio, in the spring of 1834 and marched to Jackson County, Missouri. By the time they reached Missouri, the camp had increased to approximately two hundred men.
Charlotte was just a baby travelling in Zions Camp with her parents and two older sisters. Her mother presumably did laundry for members of the group.

Research Notes[]
Birthplace[]
The correct spelling for Charlotte's place of birth is Wethersfield (not Weathersfield) which is now located in the county of Wyoming in the state of New York. At the time of her birth, Wethersfield could have been in Genesee or Allegany county. The county boundaries changed back and forth and so more research is needed to identify which county it was.
