BIOGRAPHY OF JAMES ALLRED
The early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was
filled with excitement, tragedy, remarkable growth, and miraculous
dedication. Throughout his life, James Allred played a vital role in this
history. He influenced events from the earliest period until the Church was
established in Utah.
On January 12, 1784, in Randolph County, North Carolina, James Allred was
born to Elizabeth Thrasher and William Allred.1 James Allred had a rich
heritage. His ancestors came from Europe to courageously assist in the
beginning of the new and challenging America. James’ great-great-great
grandmother, Elizabeth Tills Aldridge alone, after the death of her husband,
left her homeland in order to obtain freedom, one of the values she held
dear.2 James’ ancestor passed to him the courage and the values that would
become essential as he passed through the hardships of his life.
Presumably James spent his early years like any normal North Carolina farm
boy of the era. Learning responsibility by helping his father from sunup to
sundown doing the normal daily chores, James was taught the value of hard
labor and the importance of accepting challenge.
On November 14, 1803, James Allred was married to Elizabeth Warren, who had
been born in Spartanburg County, South Carolina on May 6, 1786.3 Elizabeth, like
James, had been taught important values that would help her support and
sustain her husband through the many trials that were to come.
During their early married life they made homes in North Carolina, Kentucky,
Ohio, Tennessee, and Missouri.4 Becoming accustomed to leaving home and
friends would prove a great asset to the Allred family as they would be
forced to move throughout their lives.
In Missouri James and his family lived at Salt River where a large branch of
a newly organized and very controversial church was built up by George M.
Hinkle and others; they called this the Salt River Branch. 5 his church was
established on April 6, 1830 by Joseph Smith, who claimed to have received
revelations from God and was considered a Prophet by those who joined the
church.
Two years after the church that would eventually be called the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been organized, James and Elizabeth
Allred and most of their family, including uncles, aunts, and cousins were
baptized on September 10, 1832.7 Because the Church was called the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the members of the Church were often
referred to as Saints. James Allred was forty-eight years old at the time of
his baptism. Most of his prime years had passed and yet James would dedicate
the next forty-four years of his life to building up his new found religion
and accomplish the greatest acts of his life.
From the establishment of the Church the members faced many persecutions.
During the spring of 1832, in Missouri, persecutions became so great that
some of the Saints were forced to move. The persecutions continued until
November 1833 when most of the Saints left.8
In the spring of 1834 in Kirtland, Ohio, the Prophet Joseph Smith organized a
group of two hundred volunteers to march to the aid of members of the Church
that remained in Missouri; this organization became known as Zion’s Camp.9 On
June 8, 1834, the Prophet Joseph Smith’s camp arrived in Salt River at James
Allred’s home, where Joseph’s camp was joined by a group established by his
brother Hyrum. Combined, they involved two hundred and five men, who were on
their journey to the upper part of Missouri in order to re-establish the
Saints in Jackson County. James Allred and nine of his relatives were called
by the Prophet to be members of Zion’s Camp.10 Only the most worthy men were
chosen to attend Zion’s Camp of which eventually the leaders of the Church
would be chosen.
The men (of Zion’s Camp) were heavily armed and well provisioned. They were organized
into companies of tens, fifties, and hundreds, with officers over each. The
men marched the entire one thousand miles, while the supplies
were hauled in wagons . . . Word of their coming reached the old settlers of
Jackson County long before their arrival, and armed bands were directed to
meet and turn them back . . . On June 19th, while Zion’s Camp was settled for
the night on a piece of elevated ground between Big and Little Fishing
Rivers, the mobs, sent to intercept them, made an appearance. Sixty men from
Ray County and a mob of seventy from Clay County were to be joined by some
two hundred men from Jackson County, directly across the Missouri River. A
sudden and terrific storm scattered the mobs and made it im possible for them
to join forces. The next day the majority of them returned to their homes.11
The was considered as a blessing from the Lord by the brethren for if it
would have been necessary to fight, the men were greatly out numbered and
would have received considerable loss.
Thus ended the attempts to restore the Saints to their lands in Jackson
County. Henceforth they directed their energies to building up new
communities in the counties north of the Missouri River. (Although) Zion’s
Camp had failed in its initial mission . . .it had nevertheless been of great
value, and in the minds of its members was a glorious experience. The form of
organization was later the pattern used in guiding the great Exodus to the
Rocky Mountains. (The participants) received a splendid training for the leadership
they were later to assume. From the members of this Camp was chosen the first
Quorum of Twelve Apostles. The willingness of two hundred men to give their
all, even to their life’s blood, to help establish Zion in her place, is a
lasting monument to the faith and courage of the Saints.12
A statement made by George A. Smith, a prominent member of the Church and one
of the youngest members of Zion’s Camp, confirms the fact that James Allred
played an important role in this very pertinent event in church history.
While being questioned by spies, George A. Smith stated that James Allred
helped lead the rest of the brethren on their journey to Jackson County.
Since Latter-day Saints considered everyone to be children of God, they often
referred to each other as brother and sister.
In September 1835, James and Elizabeth took their eleven children and
followed the Saints to Clay County, Missouri where they were well received.14
In the spring of 1837, having been appointed by the Prophet Joseph Smith, James
and Elizabeth and their family left their new home and moved to Caldwell
County where a group of Saints were gathered.15 Shortly after James’s family
arrived, a temple site was dedicated in Caldwell County.16 This was important
to them because the Latter-day Saint people believe that ordinances performed
in the temples, referred to in the Old Testament are necessary, so at every
opportunity temples are built in order that these ordinances can be
performed. The temple was never completed, because in the fall of 1838
persecutions began again.17 There were a total of fifteen thousand Mormons
living in the northern part of Missouri. The other citizens of Missouri
fearing the political, physical, and religious power of such a large group
were very alarmed. Those who were not members of the Latter-day Saint Church
felt the Latter-day Saint people in a few years might conceivably dominate
the state. This fear brought about many persecutions. The Latter-day Saints
remembering previous persecutions and in an effort to protect themselves,
formed a County militia of which James Allred was a member;18 this militia
was required to fight for the lives of the Latter-day Saints many times.
James Allred must have been a very courageous man to have been a part of the
militia. In 1838 large mobs began to move towards Caldwell County.
(At this time) a distorted report reached Governor Lilburn W. Boggs. Without
investigation he issued an order to the Commanding Officer, General Clark,
and others, sometimes referred to as the ‘Extermination Order,’ for in it he
said: “Your orders are therefore to hasten your operations with all possible
speed. The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or
driven from the state if necessary for the public peace -- their outrages are
beyond all descriptions.” All hope of the Saints for peace in the state of
Missouri was at an end.19
The lives of the Latter-day Saints were to be spared only if they agreed to
do the following:
1. “To give up their leaders to be tried and punished.”
2. “To make an appropriation of their property, all who had taken up arms, to
the payment of their debts, and indemnity for damage done by them.”
3. “That the balance of Mormons should leave the state, and be protected out
by the militia, but to be permitted to remain under protection until further
orders were received from the commander-in-chief.:
4. “To give up arms of every description to be receipted for.”20
In the spring of 1839, the Latter-day Saints left Missouri and moved to
Illinois. James Allred and his family settled in Pittsfield, Pike County,
Illinois. Later in the fall of 1839, James and his family moved to Commerce,
better known as Nauvoo.21 Here a large number of the Saints worked diligently
to build a beautiful city. In Nauvoo James became a close associate of the
Prophet Joseph Smith and the apostles, or highest leaders of the Church.22
The land upon which Nauvoo was built was a mosquito invested swamp.23 Many
people contracted malaria, including James Allred’s son Martin Allred and his
wife died of the fever. James being a generous and devoted grandfather
offered to take Martin’s eight children into his home.24 These eight children
plus his own twelve made twenty children that James raised and educated in
the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He instilled in each of these
children a testimony of God and a love of the gospel that lasted throughout
their lives. James’ faithfulness to the gospel and membership in the Church
was the cause of much of his personal persecutions. James faced many trials
that called forth his undying courage and dedication to the Church.
On Wednesday, July 7, 1840, James Allred and Noah Rogers were forcibly taken
from Hancock County, Illinois and arrested while peaceably pursuing their own
lawful business. Missourians kidnaped and carried James and Noah from Hancock
County into Missouri without having established a claim for such procedures.
They were taken to Tully Missouri confined in a house and later taken into a
near by woods. James was stripped of every particle of clothing and was bound
to a tree. The men then told James that they would whip him. The men took
Rogers beyond the place where James was bound. They had a rope around Rogers
neck. James heard a great number of blows, which he then supposed, and
afterwards learned were inflected upon Rogers. Allred heard him call out
several times in agony. After they whipped Rogers, they unbound James without
whipping him. Then Rogers and Allred were taken back and placed in the house.
Rogers and Allred was then held there until July 12, 1840, where they were
found innocent of any wrong doing and released.25
During the year following James’ tragic experience with the Missourians,
there was a meeting held on February 4, in the office of Joseph Smith. Joseph
Smith was elected Lieutenant-general. After being duly sworn into office, he
appointed James Allred and eleven other men to be his body-guards, and
assistant aids-de-camp.26 Joseph Smith chose James Allred to be his personal
body-guard because James had proven by his previous dedication and worthiness
that he had a very strong testimony of the work of the Church. He had been
willing to lay down his life for the Church as he had shown several times in
the past; therefore, Joseph had a great deal of respect for and trust in
James Allred.
Throughout his life James associated with the leaders and outstanding people
of the Church and he personally witnessed many of the Church’s great
historical events. One of the greatest accomplishments of the Latter-day Saints
was the building of the temple in Nauvoo. On April 6, 1841, Joseph Smith,
Sidney Rigdon, and a score of the Church leaders gathered to lay the
cornerstones for the temple.27 James offered many unselfish hours of labor in
the building of the Nauvoo Temple.28
On April 8, 1841, Joseph Smith appointed James Allred to the office of High
Councilor,29 which is a very important calling in the leadership of the
Church. James was also ordained a High Priest,30 the highest calling in the
Priesthood which is the same Priesthood held by Peter, James, and John and
other apostles and prophets in the Old and New Testaments. James spent much
time and effort in worthily fulfilling the duties of his important callings.
He was required to make many difficult and significant decisions.
James’ wife Elizabeth was closely associated with many of the prominent
members of the Church and was also involved with many important events of the
Church. While the Allred family was living in Nauvoo the Prophet Joseph Smith
came to Elizabeth, who was a seamstress by trade, and told her that he had
seen the angel Moroni, a resurrected prophet whose story is told in a book
translated from ancient gold plates by Joseph Smith called the Book of
Mormon. The angel was wearing a special type of garment worn to do sacred
ordinance work in the temple.
Joseph asked Elizabeth to assist him in cutting out the garment. They spread
unbleached muslin on the table and he told her how to cut it. She had to cut
the third pair, however, before he said it was satisfactory. She told the
Prophet that there would be sufficient cloth from the knee to ankle to make a
pair of sleeves, but he told her he wanted as few seams as possible and that
there would be sufficient whole cloth to cut the sleeves without piecing. The
first garments were made of unbleached muslin and bound with turkey red and
were without collars. Later, the Prophet Joseph Smith decided he would rather
have them bound with white. Sister Emma Smith, the Prophet’s wife, proposed
that they have a collar as she thought they would look more finished, but at
first did not have the collars on them After Emma Smith had made the collars,
which were not visible from the outside, Eliza R. Snow introduced a wider
collar of finer material to be worn on the outside of the dress. The garment
was to reach the ankle and the sleeve to the wrist.31
In the fall of 1842 the Saints were being persecuted, especially the heads of
the Church. Elizabeth also assisted the Prophet and his brother Hyrum as they
were being hunted and persecuted by the mobs. She often put potatoes in the
coals of the fireplace at night and would leave bread and butter and fresh
butter milk, which the Prophet was fond of, on the table of her home so they
could come during the night and eat it. The persecutions of the Saints and of
the Prophet Joseph Smith intensified to the point that the persecutors wanted
to take Joseph’s life.32
In June 1844, Joseph Smith, his brother Hyrum, John Taylor and Willard
Richards were taken to the Carthage Jail in Hancock County, Illinois, while
charged falsely with numerous crimes.33 At the jail Joseph Smith gave his
sword to James Allred and said, “Take this -- you may need it to defend
yourself.” James treasured the sword and carried it with him to Utah.”34
Later in that same month Joseph and Hyrum Smith were murdered in the Carthage
Jail Joseph Smith had prophesied that Willard Richards would not be harmed,
and, true to prophecy, he escaped without a scratch. John Taylor was wounded
with four bullets.35 His condition was very serious, and wanting to make the
long journey back to Nauvoo as comfortable as possible, James who was to care
for Taylor put a sleigh behind his wagon. By going through the fields which
were mostly swamps the journey covered eighteen miles to the town of
Nauvoo.36 John Taylor did recover and eventually became the President of the
Church. After the Prophet’s death, the Saints tried to collect more money for
the building of the Nauvoo Temple. James Allred was put in charge of this
money.37 James must have been a very trustworthy individual to have had this
responsibility.
After a great deal of persecution the Latter-day Saints were again forced to
leave their homes. In the winter of 1845-46 the leaders of the High Council
agreed that the members of the Church should leave Illinois. The Church
leaders told the Mormons to sell their houses and lands so that they would be
ready to depart as soon as possible.38 Brigham Young, the new Prophet that
followed Joseph Smith, said to James Allred and other members of the Church
that “When Zion’s Camp went to Missouri it was considered a great move, but
that was nothing compared to this move and he that will continue faithful
through this campaign shall always rejoice and shall be crowned with laurels
of victory.”39 To accomplish this different branches were organized into
working companies to make wagons, carts or other modes of transportation for
a move. Much preparation was needed for such an extensive journey, therefore;
twenty-five men were chosen by the general leadership to be captains of one
hundred families and see that they were prepared for a journey across the
Rocky Mountains. James Allred was appointed distributing commissary, his
duties were to make a righteous distribution of grain provisions, and such
articles as should be furnished for the use of the camp.40
On February 7, 1846, James and Elizabeth and two of their sons crossed the
Mississippi River on their way west with the heads of the Church; however,
James was selected to take care of the families who were left behind.41 Five
months later in July 1846, James Allred was selected as one of the twelve men
to preside over the Saints at Council Bluff, Iowa, in all their spiritual and
temporal dealings.42 James was later appointed President of the High Council
at Council Bluff, Pottawatomie County, Iowa.43
Many of the Saints moved to Pottawatomie County and forty branches of the
Church were established there. One branch was named after James Allred. James
presided over the Allred Branch and served in many church and community
leadership positions.44
In the spring of 1851 James, an aging man of sixty-seven years, and
Elizabeth, weary from having reared twenty children, started the long and
rugged journey west to the Rocky Mountains. Crossing the plains was a trial
that led many younger and stronger to their deaths, but after endless miles
of unbearable travel, James and Elizabeth arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on
October of 1851.45
Shortly after their arrival in Salt Lake in 1852 Brigham Young advised James
to select a place for a settlement where he could locate with his numerous
posterity and preside over them. He and his sons, James Tillman Stanford,
William Hackley, Andrew Jackson, Reuben Warren, Isaac, and Franklin
Lafayette, journeyed as directed by Brigham Young into Central Utah and began
a settlement. After doing some exploring they decided to settle along a creek
flowing from the mountains to the east of them. They called the creek Canal
Creek. This was March 22, 1852. It was only natural that other home seekers,
journeying through the valley, should call the town, ‘The Allred Settlement’
. . . The man who had been entrusted with the responsibility of making a ‘go’
of Spring City, James Allred, was in every way suited for the work given him.
He had served as a bodyguard of the Prophet Joseph Smith. His one son, James
Tillman Stanford had served a member of the Mormon Battalion. This son,
called by the Indians, ‘Showritz,’ and another son, Andrew Jackson Allred,
called, ‘Shungitz,’ and James Allred served as Indian interpreters.46
Whenever Brigham Young and his company or other important leaders of the
Church visited this area they stayed at the Allred’s home.47 Meetings were
also held principally in James’ log cabin and about a dozen families spent
the winter of 1852-53 in the settlement. The Allred Settlement was advised to
gather together in a fort so they moved some of their cabins closer together.
Under order of Gay Young they were instructed to move their cattle out of the
valley into a place of safety, because of problems with the Indians, but
refused to do so, believing that they were able to take care of themselves. A
few days after, on July 29, 1853, two hundred Indians with Chief Walker as
their leader made an attack. The Indians drove off two hundred head of cattle
and seventy horses. The fifteen men made the best attempt they could on foot
to defend their stock; however, none of the animals were recovered.48 “It was
deemed advisable, for safety reasons, to move to Manti. This move was begun
July 31, 1853 and completed December 19, 1853. A few men stayed until the
later date to try to save some of their crops.” 49
On October 1853 while James was attending Conference in Salt Lake City he
learned of an arrival of the first large company of Scandinavian immigrants
who had arrived at Salt Lake. They were influenced to settle in Sanpete
Valley, and a large number of them responded to and assisted James Allred in
the reestablishment of Canal Creek.50
James was called to develop many areas in the Sanpete Valley. In February
1854, in company with fifty families, James commenced to build a fort on
Cottonwood, now called Ephraim. The fort was built of stone, and was ten feet
high.51 James presided over Fort Ephraim until the spring of 1859 when he
moved back to Canal Creek.52
James, an elderly man of eighty, was active and alert in everything and
enjoyed the last years of his life. In 1864 the members of Zion’s Camp met in
the social hall. This was truly an interesting occasion, veterans meeting
together after a period of thirty years. This ceremony consisted of dancing,
eating a big dinner, and speeches from several members of the company.53
James had led a remarkable life and had been an outstanding member of the
Church. President Brigham Young in a tribute to James’ life said this:
Father James Allred, a very Patriarch, whose erect form gave no indication of
his age. He was born January 22, 1784, in Randolph
County, North Carolina. His wife, Elizabeth Warren, was born May 6, 1786, in
South Carolina. They emigrated from Tennessee to Missouri in 1830. They were
driven from Missouri with the Saints and fled into Illinois, and moved west
with their co-religionists when they left that State. This aged couple, one
eighty-two, the other eighty-four years of age, have shared in the
persecutions of the people of God; but they are here today in the midst of
their numerous descendants remarkably hale and active for persons of their
age. To look at them no one would suspect that they were so advanced in
years.54
On January 10, 1876, lacking twelve days of being ninety-two years old James
Allred passed away.55 His wife, Elizabeth, was near ninety, she had been
blind for six years, but other than this was strong and in good health at the
time of his death.56
The funeral service, the largest that had ever taken place in Spring City,
was held on June (sic) 11, 1876; thirty-nine wagons and sleighs loaded with
people followed James to his final resting place. President Orson Hyde
preached James’ funeral service. He reviewed the main events that had taken
place in James’s life.57
James had raised twelve children of his own and eight orphan children. He and
his wife had been married seventy-three years. He was survived by a posterity
of four hundred and forty-seven souls, viz., twelve children, one hundred and
four grandchildren, three hundred and two great-great grandchildren, and
twenty nine great-great-great grandchildren.58
Aside from the many personal accomplishments and dedication of James Allred
he left behind an immense posterity in which he had instilled all the worthy
values he himself had treasured. James, by living the teachings of the Church
to the best of his ability had set an example that would be carried through
many generations of faithful church members. “Mormonism was James Allred’s
whole life.”59 He truly exemplified a loving and charitable person. He had
accepted and magnified every calling that he was given. He had helped widows,
orphans, and anyone in need.60 James would long be remembered as a worthy,
dedicated, humble, and enduring leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints.
