Barabas Lathrope Adams Barnabas Lathrop was born at Bastard, August 8, 1812, the year war was declared and the year the family removed to the Stone Mills. He was too young to be included in the charge to his two elder brothers, Arza and Alvah, "If you do not learn to swim this summer, I will thrash you." They learned to swim and escaped the thrashing. He at one time promised much, religiously, but went west with his elder brothers under circumstances that left their religious prospects under cloud in the minds of their friends. He is now dead, leaving several children. It is not known how many. (Written by Rev. Alvah Adams, 1880) _____________________________ Adams, Barnabas Lathrop (Male) Birth: Adams, Barnabas Lathrop (Male) Date: May 28, 1812 Place: Bastard, Johnstown, Leeds, CAN Alternate Date: August 28, 1812 Alternate Place: Bathurst, Lanark, Ontario, Can Alternate Place: Perth, Lanark, Ontario, CAN Parents: Adams, Barnabas Lathrop (Male) Father: Adams, Joshua Mother: Chipman, Elizabeth Death: Adams, Barnabas Lathrop (Male) Date: June 2, 1869 Place: Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, UT, USA Alternate Date: June 1, 1869 Burial Date: June 3, 1869 Buried: Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, UT, USA Marriage Information: Adams, Barnabas Lathrop (Male) Spouse: Banker, Julia Ann Date: June 22, 1846 Place: Montrose, Lee, IA, USA Children: Adams, Barnabas Lathrop (Male) Name: Birthdate: Place: 1.

He became a convert to "Mormonism" when about 23 years of age and afterwards gathered to Missouri, traveling to that state in what was known as the Canada Camp, led by Elder John E. Page. Together with his co-religionists he was expelled from the State of Missouri by mobocratic violence, and settled with the Saints in Illinois. There he afterwards became subject once more to the ruthless hand of persecution, and during the general exodus in 1846 he came West, having lived for some time in Montrose, Lee county, Iowa. When Pres. Brigham Young made up his company of pioneers in the spring of 1847 at Winter Quarters, Barnabas was chosen as one of them and traveled with the rest of the pioneers to Great Salt Lake Valley. He returned to Winter Quarters the same season. In the fall of 1848 he arrived in Salt Lake Valley the second time and located in Mill Creek. Afterwards he settled at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake county. While engaged in getting out logs for Pres. Brigham Young's saw mill in City Creek Canyon, he had occasion to lift the bed of a wagon whereby he seemed to have injured himself internally, and while in the act of eating his dinner June 2, 1869, he expired suddenly, although he up to that time seemed to possess the best of health. Barnabas was universally known as a faithful, kind hearted, unobtrusive, industrious man and was much beloved by a large circle of friends. On the westward journey with the pioneers, Barnabas did good service as captain of the guard at night and at all times was willing to help. This was particularly the case when a stream had to be forded, as he had been accustomed to river work when floating logs down the Mississippi River from Iowa to St. Louis. He furnished timber for the Salt Lake Tabernacle, the theater and other public buildings. Barnabas Lathrop/Lothrop is listed in Pioneers of 1847as arriving in the Great Salt Lake Valley with the first pioneer company.

Gospel Library/LDS Biographical Encyclopedia/Volume 3/Biographies/Adams, Barnabas L. _____________________________ Arza Adams, Journal 2, holograph and typescript, BYU, Pg. 2 And myself and family left Far West on the 7th of March, 1839, came to Illinois about 200 miles, took a small farm, put in a good crop and left it and my family in the care of my brother, Barnabas Adams. And borrowed 25 dollars from him and started for Canada, my native place, to settle up my affairs and preach the gospel of Christ to my own kin and nation. [p.3] Took the parting hard with my family. About four miles from Quincy, Adams County, on the 11th July, 1839, and went by the way of Saint Louis and Portsmouth, Cleveland, and Buffalo and Louiston [Lewiston, New York] and landed in Brockville, [New York], Tuesday, the 30th July. Esaias Edwards Autobiography, typescript, BYU-S, p.29 - p.30 And so we crossed the river in order to unite with a company at Winter Quarters, which expected to start in a short time under the directions of Amasa Lyman, consisting of one hundred families and one hundred and sixty wagons and there we was detained 'til about the 1st of July when a part of the company left and removed to the Elkhorn River about 30 miles distant. Crossed the river and waited for the rest of the company 'til they arrived and the 6th of July we all started on our journey together and traveled pretty much together for over three hundred miles and then it was thought best to separate and travel in smaller companies. So we divided into three companies; the 1st consisted of 4 tens under the direction of Barnabas Adams, the 2nd consisting of 3 tens under the direction of Phineas Richards June, the third under the direction of Andrew Cunningham that consisted of 3 tens. Also these 3 tens was under the direction of Moses Martin, Ezra Clark, and Wilcocks.
