JUDGE JOSEPH HOLBROOK was born 16 Jan 1806 in Florence, Oneida, New York, son of Moses Holbrook and Hannah Lucretia Morton, the oldest of three children - Joseph, Chandler, and Phoebe. His parents were pioneers of country heavy with timber and winters long and severe. They were parents of strong character and perserverance, mostly farmers, hardy, robust, industrious, and moral but no particular sect of religion. They passed these qualities of character on to their children. At the age of seven Joseph Holbrook's father died and his mother was unable to care for him. His grandfather John Holbrook came to New York from Massachusetts, a distance of 250 miles on horseback and took the boy back on the horse to his home in New England. Here the boy Joseph was reared going to school. When he was of age his grandfather gave him a note of $100.00 drawing 6 per cent interest along with his blessing. Joseph started west to meet his fate and care out his existence. In the summer of 1832 he heard of a religious sect known as the Mormons. In Sep he attended his first meeting of this religious faith, and a few days later was given a "Book of Mormon" by Mary Ann Angel who later became Brigham Young's first wife. He was not one who took time to read when there was work to do, but he became so interested he could not stop reading until the book was finished. He knew it was true, and as soon as the opportunity was available he was baptized. From that time until the day of his death Joseph Holbrook's life was tied up with the history of Mormonism. On 18 Mar 1833, he took a journey on foot to Kirtland, Ohio to personally meet the Prophet Joseph Smith. He served on missions, he was mobbed, disposed of his property through malice and persecution but never wavered. He returned to his grandfather's people to preach the gospel and bear his testimony, but to no avail. They were not interested. He was in the tribulations at Fishing River "threatened on every side with mobs, but he said, "Stand still and see the salvation of God." The rains descended and the rivers were swollen until they were forty feet deep and the saints were protected from their enemies. \\ He went through countless trails. Burying his wife and child in Nauvoo, braving the elements, going without food, working with the sick and answering calls for service day and night. In spite of hardships he arrived with his company in Salt Lake on 20September 1848. He sought shelter for his family and cattle northward near the mouth of the Jordan River. Here he cut forty tons of field hay with a scythe. He later moved to Bountiful and was appointed Probate Judge of Davis ; the first man to hold this position. He held this position for six years without accepting a dollar for his services. He organized school districts, attended to regular business of the court, civic matters and church duties. He served in the Bishopric, sending sons on missions and aiding converts. Joseph Holbrook was elected the Territorial Council which under the Presidency of Jedediah M. Grant framed a constitution for presentation to the National Congress. He was one of the first to engage in home manufacture to make his family and his hired help self-staining. He was Captain of the Mountain Sharps, a company organized 8 August 1857 in Bountiful to be branch of the Nauvoo Legion. He contributed liberally in money, lumber, and labor to the erection of the Bountiful Tabernacle and was present at the dedication of the structure. He traveled with President Brigham Young and was founder of some of the Southern Utah towns. A Patriarchal Blessing as given under the hand of Isaac Morley, Far West, Jan 10, 1839. A Patriarchal Blessing pronounced by Isaac Morley upon the head of Joseph Holbrook, a son of Moses Holbrook, who was born in Florence, Oneida, , State of New York, Jan 16, 1806. Brother Holbrook I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and I seal upon thy head a Father's blessing. Thy name is registered in heaven and the angels rejoice at thy birth and notwithstanding thy trials, thy blessings shall be great to thee. Thy name shall be sounded to the remotest parts of the earth, and thy name shall become honorable among Knights and Princes; and if thou art faithful thou shalt travel from the East to the West, and they labors shall be crowned with success, and thou shalt become an instrument in the hands of the Lord in restoring his ancient covenant people to the knowledge of the New and Everlasting Covenant and if thou wilt store thy mind with knowledge and with intelligence the power together with the blessings of the everlasting Priesthood shall be sealed upon thy head, thy tongue shall be unloosed, thy mind shall expand and oppression shalt prove a blessing unto thee and thou shalt yet have the privilege to sit with the Ancient of Days and no powers of darkness shall be a hindermost to thee and the wound which you have received in the defense of thy brethren shall prove to them thy sincerity and thy love towards them for thou shalt yet have the power and rejoice in the spirit when one shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to fight and a contrast shall be shown unto thee of the weakness of man and of the power of the creator for his blessing shall be given to thee and fear shall be cast far from thee and the love of thy creator shall be shed abroad in thy heart and thine inheritance shall be in Zion and many sheaves shall be given to thee and thou shalt rejoice in their society. Sitting under thine own vine and fruit tree when there shall be none to molest or to make afraid, and then shalt thou rejoice with the sons of Joseph for this is thy descent and thy blessings shall be extended to thy children and to thy children's children; and thy barn shall yet be stored with plenty and thy fields shall be strewed with flocks and with herds and if thou wilt ever support the principles of uprightness and virtue thou shalt yet sit in council with the sons of the west and thou shalt become a Father to them and you shalt aid to feed them and to clothe them and to fill the store house of the Lord for them and thy days shall be extended to see Babylon fall and thou shalt reign with the Savior, and I seal this Father's blessing upon thee in the name of the Lamb, forever and ever. Amen. E. Robinson, Scribe. Given at Far West, Jan 10, 1839. About August 1845 I received a Patriarchal Blessing under the hand of John Smith in Nauvoo. A Blessing by John Smith, Patriarch, upon the head of Joseph Holbrook, son of Moses and Hannah Holbrook, born Jan 16, 1806, Florence, Oneida , State of New York. Brother Joseph I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ and seal upon thee a father's blessing. Thou art of the house of Jacob and an heir to the blessing sand Priesthood which was sealed upon the fathers with all the benefits and privileges accompanying the same. The Lord hath called thee to preach the gospel to this generation to warn them that distructions are determined upon Babylon. It is left to thy choice in what part of the vineyard thou labor. Thou shalt go forth as a mighty man. Thou shalt stir up the hearts of the honest in heart to repentance but the wicked and rebellious shall be angry and seek to destroy thy life but the Lord hath given his angels charge to preserve thee from all thine enemies and thou shalt have power over them. Thou shalt be blessed with wisdom and intelligence to confound the wise of this generation, bring many to the knowledge of the faith and gather them with the saints with much riches. Thou shalt have a numerous posterity and thou shalt rejoice exceedingly because of their righteousness. Thou shalt live till thou shalt know that the prophets have spoken right concerning Zion, be satisfied with life and every favor which is calculated for the happiness of man and thou shalt enjoy all the blessing of the Redeemer's Kingdom on the earth and a name with the sanctified forever. I seal all these blessings upon thee in faithfulness and I seal thee up unto eternal life, Amen. George A. Smith - Scribe
