      He was raised in the prevailing religious teachings of a Puritan Commun i ty who taught that everyone sould have a strict knowledge of the script ur es and that there had been a drifting away from the original teaching s o f the Bible. He and his wife, Rebecca Curtis are the second-great-gra npar ents of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the grandparents of Asael Smith , wh o restored the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1830 a ka th e Mormons.
