| Misc. Notes |
John, sometimes known as "Penotus", came to America with his parents in 1805 as part of the Rappist movement. They lived at Harmonie, Penna., until 1815 when the family moved to New Harmony, Ind., where his mother died soon after arrival & his father died 4 years later. In 1825 John returned to Pennsylvania with the Rappists and settled at their new community known as Economy (at present day Ambridge, Pa.).37
In April 1832 there was a great schism in the Harmony Society at Economy, with about one-third of the members leaving the group and settling at Phillipsburgs (now Monaca), Penna., as followers of Count de Leon. The Zundels were part of the seceder group. While at Phillipsburgh, John first heard a Mormon missionary tell of that new religion, and shortly thereafter he converted to Mormonism and moved to Unity, Ohio. By 1841 he and his wife & children were in Nauvoo, Illinois, with the Mormon community there. From there they moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa, and then on to Utah in October 1852, where John died a few weeks later.37 |
