William Byrd of Westover and Robert "King" Carter, 2 in call for and rich 18th century Virginians. i'm also a cousin to Robert E. Lee and to presidents William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison. were given some writers contained in the relatives - and some not so good human beings.

Answer 6

Cyrus H. Wheelock (1813-94) was born in Henderson, New York. He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1839 and filled a mission in Vermont and other states for the Church .

A gifted orator, he labored with Governor Thomas Ford in behalf of Joseph Smith and those incarcerated in Carthage Jail.

"While confined in jail on the false charge of treason, Joseph and Hyrum were allowed the privilege of visitors. Cyrus Wheelock, a friend of the Prophet’s, managed to secure a pass to see Joseph and slipped both Joseph and Hyrum handguns. The Smith brothers reluctantly accepted the guns and Hyrum said, “‘I hate to use such things or to see them used.’ ‘So do I,’ said Joseph, ‘but we may have to, to defend ourselves.’” At about five o’clock an armed mob, with blackened faces, rushed the jail while the guards put up a mock fight. As the mob up the stairs Joseph and Hyrum sprang to their feet and Hyrum bolted the door to lock out the attackers. The mob, however, fired through the wooden door and hit Hyrum in the face. He fell backwards, crying, “‘I am a dead man!’” and died. Joseph bent over the lifeless body of his brother and exclaimed, “‘Oh, my poor, dear brother Hyrum!’” Grabbing his revolver, Joseph opened the door slightly then fired his gun-- only half of the rounds discharged. John Taylor, wielding a walking stick, attempted to keep the mob from entering the doorway while Joseph ran to the window. Outside, however, more mob members had gathered, and seeing Joseph at the window, fired, hitting him four times. Joseph rocked on the sill for a second then cried, “‘O Lord, my God!’” as he fell to the earth, dead. John Taylor was shot four times himself, one of which smashed his pocket watch at 5:16. Taylor was wounded, but lived. Only Willard Richards escaped without injury. "


He accompanied the Church to Utah, returning in 1878 as president of the Northern States Mission.

Wheelock lived in Mount Pleasant, Utah, where he wrote a number of widely used hymns such as "Ye Elders of Israel", which reflects clearly the "Gathering" philosophy, now changed, of the Mormons. In this hymn is seen the popular "Come out of Babylon (the world) unto Zion (Utah)" theme.
