Henry Moon joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in England in 1838 along with other members of his family and two years later sailed to American on the first organized ship of Saints. He married Lydia Moon on January 30, 1841 in Pennsylvania and continued their migration west. They had two small boys by the time they left Iowa for the Great Salt Lake on May 28, 1850. In 1856, Henry was called to be the Bishop of the 1st ward and remained in that calling for 14 years. Soon after receiving that calling, Henry entered into polygamy and married his second wife Temperance Westwood on March 18, 1856. Together they had 13 children, 12 of which lived to adulthood and one died of croup at the age of three. On January 4, 1868 Henry married his third and last wife, my great-great grandmother, Mary Ann Thayne. Lydia died just six months after Henry and Mary Ann were married and when Henry was released from his calling as Bishop, the families all moved to Farmington. Mary Ann and Henry had nine children, the youngest being my great grandfather Nephi Moon.
