One of their number was court musician to Queen Elizabeth and King James. Daniel Bull, a lineal descendant of this noted family, was married to Elizabeth Tantam of Birmingham in 1841. In 1844 he was baptized by Elder George Styles into the L.D.S. Church. He emigrated to Nauvoo in 1845 and immediately went to work at his trade of gunsmithing. This same year he received a patriarchal blessing from Patriarch John Smith which was a great comfort to him. He was a member of the Nauvoo Legion, and also of Captain Pitt's brass band. He fought in the battle of Nauvoo for which he made a cannon from a steamboat shaft and used old scrap iron for ammunition. This was brought across the plains by the pioneers and is now in the museum in Utah. He was among those detailed to guard Nauvoo against mob violence at the time of the exodus from the city. During the erection of the Nauvoo temple, he slept in one of the windows as a guard. In 1848 he moved to Quincy, Illinois, and the next year, 1849, emigrated to Utah in the Enoch Reese Company. |
