Notes	Name: Women Pioneers of Faith and Fortitude, DUP, p. 752, biography of Rozilla Whitaker Dalton, dau, states "life in NC was made complicated because of the father's health. A change of climate, the parents decided, may bring an improvement so they moved, with 6 children, into one room in Rozilla's uncle John McQuary's [McCrary????] home, in Gallatin, Davis, Missouri. Her mother died there in 1836 leaving 6 children, the youngest 2 yrs old...Rozella's father's asthma returned and he called in a Dr. Younger who was a Mormon. He combined his medical visit with missionary work and the family accepted the Gospel and cast their lot with the despised Mormons."
