Benjamin Thomas Mitchell’s Distinctive Contributions in the Restoration
Include the Following:
* He was a stone mason for the Nauvoo, IL Temple, dedicated May 1, 1846. As documented in official Church temple construction records, B.T. Mitchell sculpted the first sunstone for the Nauvoo temple. One of the original 30 sunstones is currently on display at the Smithsonian American History Museum in Washington D.C., right next to the original U.S. Star Spangled Banner. The Sunstone at the Smithsonian has a chiseled (M) marked on the upper left hand corner-likely indicating that the Sunstone at the Smithsonian was sculpted by Benjamin T. (M)itchell.
* He was ordained a Seventy at the Nauvoo Conference on October 6th, 1844 and was chosen as a Counselor in the 16th Quorum of the Seventies January 19, 1845.

Abraham Mitchell
· 16 September 2013 · 0 Comments
Abraham Mitchell was born October 29, 1779. One record says he was born in Muncy, Lycmng County, Pennsylvania and one says Buffalo Valley, Bucks County Pennsylvania. He was the son of William and Mary Browne Mitchell, and was of Irish descent. His people had come to the New World to seek a better way of life. In his youth, Abraham learned the shoe making trade and followed that profession all the rest of his life. He was about 32 years old when he married Annie Colpetzer about 1811. She was born in 1792 in Buffalo, Pennsylvania. Her parents, Johan Adam and Sarah Rhodes Colpetzer were of German extraction. Abraham and Annie became the parents of 12 children named William, Levi, Benjamin T., Esther, Lepley, Ohio, Jesse, Julia Ann, Jeremiah, Samuel, Thomas and James. Not all of them grew to maturity. The Mitchells made their home in Pennsylvania until about 1835 when they moved to the Western Reserve in a wooded part of Ohio. Abraham joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints before 1843. His son Benjamin is said to have joined in June 1836 in Ohio. It could well have been that Abraham and Annie were baptized then also. They were living in a place called New Garden, Columbiana County, Ohio when Annie took sick and died on October 9, 1844. She was only 52 years old. We suppose that Abraham moved with his son Benjamin when he started the trip west to gather with the saints in Missouri. They had traveled as far as Madison, Indiana when they heard that the Mormons had been forced to flee from Missouri because of the cruel and unfair expulsion orders of Governor Boggs and were scattered in different states. The Mitchell’s went on into Iowa and farmed at a place called Marlin County, where they stayed for two years. In the spring of 1841, some Mormon Elders came by and told them that the Mormons were gathering at a place called Nauvoo, Illinois. So, as soon as they could, they disposed of their property in Iowa and journeyed to Nauvoo. Here Abraham became acquainted with the Prophet Joseph Smith and other church leaders. Benjamin's wife died during this period, leaving 3 small children. Benjamin was a stone mason and did much work on the Nauvoo Temple and other buildings. It is presumed that Abraham worked on them also. In June of 1844, the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed and Brigham Young took over the leadership of the church. The persecutions were so great that the Mormons were forced to leave Nauvoo in the cold winter of 1846. They made a temporary settlement at Winter Quarters. This was the place that the Mitchells lived until the spring of 1848 when they were ready to cross the plains to the Rocky Mountains. Abraham came to Salt Lake City with Benjamin. Benjamin was captain of 10 wagons in one of the companies. They arrived in Great Salt Lake Valley in the fall of 1848 and went about getting a home started. They were among the first settlers of the 15th Ward. Abraham received his endowments in the Salt Lake Endowment House March 18, 1856. He had been in the valley nearly 15 years when he died at the age of 83 on March 4, 1863.
