We share the same family tree until Russell Homer. My several-time great grandfather is Benjamin Homer who remained in Illinois and Iowa after Joseph Smith Jr was murdered. He eventually joined the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with Joseph Smith 111 now the Community of Christ. He married Sarah Lane and she eventually went to Oklahoma following his death.

I appreciate you sharing our history. Although I knew several of Russell’s stories, I learned more from your accounts. Thank you!

He is my second great-grandfather on my Mother's side of the family. I have a slightly different coat of arms. Wonder why? Velma Masner.

Enjoyed reading your family history. I live in Derbyshire and the Staffs border is only an hours ride away and I cross the frontier a couple of times a month.

Actually, it was the revolutionaries who were the turncoats. The Loyalists were, well, loyal.

BTW, as someone from southern New England, I would never say that East Dennis is "near Boston", although from a Colorado POV it is.
