Conversion:
Their story is pretty cool and I have documented about George Burkett Jr as one of my first blog posts.
George joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 6, 1831. Sarah and their three oldest children joined in July 1831. The Church was organized April 6, 1830, in New York, but persecution forced the members to move east to Kirtland, Ohio in the spring of 1831. At that time, the Burkett’s were living in Winchester, Indiana where George owned a shoe store.
