31. JOHN POORMAN
Baptized 9 Jun 1830 at Seneca Lake by David Whitmer following the first conference of the church. Mamed Mary Nancy Davis, also known as Nancy Bancrok Moved west with the Saints from New york to Ohio, probably in the spring of 183 1. In March of 1832, he was involved in fighting a mob of forty to Wty men that tarred the Prophet Joseph Smith during an attack at Hiram, Ohio. In the process, he accidently mistook Father John Johnson for a mobster and hit him, breaking his collar bone. David Whitrner laid his hands upon Father Johnson and healed him immediately. John Poorman and his wife, Nancy, were with the Saints in the Missouri period, but have not been found in records after that date. (FGR; HC1:86,263-264; MLO:142; MS26:835)
