Born 200 years ago this year, Samuel Mulliner's life spanned three countries and four states in eight decades. He crossed the Atlantic Ocean three times emigrating from Scotland to Canada in 1833, returning to his homeland seven and a half years later as one of the first LDS missionaries to that country, and journeying back to the United States ten months later with 50 of his countrymen in his care. After much persecution, suffering, and sacrifice, he and his family headed west to the Rocky Mountains.



This mighty man fathered eighteen children with three different wives. His descendants now number in the thousands.
