I hereby certify that I was born in South Carolina, was raised in Kentucky and lived in Illinois about four years. I then moved into the State of Missouri and settled within about one mile of Haun's Mill Caldwell County in the fall of A.D. 1837. when I lived until I left the State in consequence of the order of Governor Boggs and the treatment which I received from a merciless band of ruffians

In the fall of A.D. 1838 I frequently heard rumours that mobs were collecting in different parts of the Country around for the purpose of driving the people called Mormons out of the Country. I belonged to that people having joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints more than two years previous On the 30th of October A. D. 1838 I should judge about thrity five of our society were at Haun's Mill; a large portion of whom were movers who had stopt there in consequence of the threats and abuse which they had recived on the road. The first intimation which we had that an Enemy was near us, was Some one cried out that an armed force was coming upon us. I looked and saw a number of armed men rushing out of the woods on Horseback at the distance of of twenty or thirty rods off Their number I judged to be between two hundred and two hundred and fifty. Two of our brethren made signs and cried for quarter, but their entreatires were not heeded The company began to fire uon us [page 491] instantly, whereupon a number of us took shelter in a Blacksmith Shop which was near at hand. I staid there until six or eight had fallen around me being Shot down by balls, which came through the Cracks. Six of us left the shop about the same time and were the last that left it. we were all either killed or wounded in the attempt to make our Escape I was shot through the shoulder. There were fifteen killed who were buried the next day viz Elias Brenner, Thomas McBride, ____ Campbell, Josiah Fuller, Levi N. Merrick, Warren Smith and his son Sardius Smith, John Boyers, John York, George Richards, Austin Hammer, William Naper, John Lee, Benj Lewis
