Life Sketch
In 1834 Isaac marched to Missouri as a member of Zion's Camp and afterwards located in Nauvoo, Ill. Until his death, he entertained friends, family and saints with his fiddle music--in Nauvoo, on the plains, in Salt Lake City and in Sanpete County--and his 1724 instrument remains intact and playable.

| Isaac Allred's Stradivarius violin |
It was played was for a commemorative dinner hosted for the First Presidency, General Authorities and their wives on a Friday evening preceding October General Conference in 1964.
It was returned to Nauvoo in September of 2005. The violin was played for the following leaders of the church: Hyrum Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow, Joseph F. Smith, Heber C. Kimball, Orson Hyde, Harold B lee, Spencer W. Kimball, Ezra Taft Benson, Howard W. Hunter,and Gordon B Hinckley. President David O. McKay was unable to travel to Provo from Salt Lake because of his failing health.
Isaac worked for the Church, traveled as a preacher of the Gospel and participated in the general exodus of the saints from Nauvoo in February 1846. He spent a short time in the camp on Sugar Creek, Iowa, and later crossed the prairies of Iowa to the Missouri river. In 1851 he captained a company of saints to Utah and settled at Kaysville, Davis, Utah. He later joined family in Mt. Pleasant.

Note: He was killed by his cousin, Thomas Ivie, who assailed him over a trivial matter and beat him with a burning stick from the camp fire May 11, 1859. He died the next day. The difficulty arose over some sheep which Isaac had in charge and which belonged to Thomas Ivie. His murderer was tried and condemned to death, but he managed to escape and went east. Brigham Young prophesied that Thomas Ivie would apostatize from the Church and that buzzards would pick his bones. This prediction was literally fulfilled, as the remains of Ivie were subsequently found in a cornfield nearly devoured by buzzards.
Buried Ephraim Pioneer Cemetery, Sanpete, Utah
Note: June 24, 2011, a commemorative headstone was dedicated by Allred descendants.

About 1830, the Taylors moved to Monroe County, Missouri. In 1834, Julia Ann and all of her family who were old enough, were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Julia Ann married Isaac Allred in Nashville, Tennessee.
Julia Ann and Isaac suffered many trials being driven from place to place. While in Nauvoo, she and her husband were sealed in the Nauvoo Temple, January 15, 1846. When they were ready to cross the Plains her husband was made captain of the fifty in the wagon train. They arrived in the Valley in the fall of 1851.
The family settled in Slaterville, Weber County, in 1855, and they lived there until 1858, when they were called to colonize Sanpete County. In May of 1859, a long-time friend quarreled with Isaac over some sheep. The man took a burning stick from the campfire and beat Isaac. He died the next day, leaving Julia Ann a widow with young children. With the help of the Lord and the older children, she was able to raise nine children into maturity. One child had died at age 6.
Julia Ann's last years were spent in Richmond, Cache County, Utah, with a daughter. She passed away May 16, 1898, at the age of eighty-sic years. She is buried in the Richmond Cemetery.

Family Search Life Sketch:
The Allred's were living in Nauvoo at the time of the prophet Joseph Smith’s death. John was 9 years old at the time. His father was often gone doing missionary work and other church assignments. When John was 11, his family left everything they had and headed west with the pioneers. They settled in Kaysville, Utah. Soon afterwards his father was called on a mission to England. At this time John was 17 years old and he and his older brother would be the main support for his mother and younger members of the family while his father was away. John’s family moved to Slaterville, Utah, where he met Mary Jane Knight. They were married in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City in 1861.

| Samuel's headstone |
Life Sketch:
He was born 3 June 1851 in Pottawatomie Co., Iowa, at a place called “Pidgeon Hollow.” This was 15 miles south of Council Bluffs. His birth occurred while his parents were crossing the plains with the Saints, after they had left their homes at Nauvoo. His father was a Captain of 50 wagons. They arrived in Salt Lake city in Aug. 1851 and later settled in Kaysville. In 1855 the family moved to Slaterville, Utah, where they lived until 1858, when they moved to Ephriam. In 1859, they moved to Mt. Pleasant and were among the earliest settlers there.
The family was very poor and they were obliged to make sacrifices. Food, as well as everything else, was scarce. Many mornings Samuel left without breakfast to search for the days food from the earth.
Later the family moved to Spring City to live. The only school that Samuel ever attended was taught by his Mother. His first book was the old blue back speller: later he used the McDuffy reader. He was baptized and confirmed 3 June 1860, by Wiley Payne Allred. When he was 17 years old, he left home to earn his living. He first went to Nephi and from there to Chicken Creek, where he succeeded in getting a job with a Mr. Tidwell, a relative who had a ranch there. Here he labored for two years. With a pick and shovel and wheelbarrow, he succeeded in making the first Chicken Creek Dam.
Even at 15 years of age, he was dependable and trustworthy. He was put to running the Pony Express from different parts of the country. Often he ran into Indians and shots were exchanged. But he learned to circle their camping grounds, and going across country and through fields, he delivered the mail and express. He served in the Black Hawk War from 1866 to 1867, in the cavalry, and took part in pursuing the Indians when they raided Spring City 13 Aug. 1867. He received a pension from the US Government for these services. For three winters he helped haul rock and lumber to the Manti Temple from the canyons. He also made two trips to take men to work on the St. George’s Temple. He was blessed with natural ability in setting bones, assisting the sick, pulling teeth and even amputated diseased or mangled limbs, using the needle to sew the wounds up of his patients.
He served time in the penitentiary in the year 1888, for having two wives, but was released before his full time was served because of good behavior. At 18 years of age, he served as a ward teacher and continued in this capacity for 48 years. At 30, he was set .apart as a Counselor in Sanpete M.I.A. presidency and served for 20 years. He served as an alternate in the High Council for 2 years, then as High Councilman for 8 years. He was made Ward Bishop in 1913 by Apostle James E. Talmadge and he occupied this office until 9 Sept. 1928. As a member of the Old Folks Committee he served 34 years. Was a member of the Board of Health and Councilman for four years.

CHILDREN with Emma
 |
| Emma Dewey |
Born 28 Apr 1828 Bapton, Wiltshire, England
Parents: John Dewey and Sarah Ranger
Mormon Overland Trail: Richard Ballantyne Company
Life Sketch (edited)
Emma's father died when she was about four years old and her mother married James Targett of Codford, Wiltshire, England, and to this union was born four children: Ann, Eliza, John and Mary. When Emma was just a young girl, she heard the gospel from a missionary by the name of Isaac Allred. She was converted to the truth of his words and braved condemnation and ridicule of family and friends to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was baptized 6 July 1852. Her mother and stepfather disowned her so she packed her few belongings in a trunk and left England, never to see her family again. She worked her way to America, land of Zion in 1852. On opening her trunk after her arrival, she found that someone had poured ink all over the few clothes and belongings she had brought with her.
It was three years later when she left Mormon Grove, Kansas, 1 July 1855, with the Richard Ballantine Company to walk all the way to Utah. Somewhere during the crossing of the ocean or the first year in the United States, she met William and Ruth Hayward who were also converts. They arrived in Utah in 1853. Emma's company arrived in Salt Lake 25 September 1855. The Haywards and Emma Dewey became great friends and they settled in Ogden, Weber County, Utah.
Emma Dewey Allred was left a widow with two small children. During this period of bewilderment, William and Ruth Hayward came to her aid and befriended her. Emma had known nothing but hardships and hard work from her early childhood, and being a widow with her small babies to provide for was just another chapter in her life to strengthen her character. William entered into polygamy and took Emma as his second wife on 6 June 1863. He made a home for her in Moroni, Utah.
