Biography

Jason Brunell has a connection to the LDS Church. Join: LDS Project Discuss: lds

Jason was born about 1801.

Jason was an early convert to the Latter Day Saints having been converted by Parley Pratt while Pratt was preaching the restored gospel in Canada in 1835. In the fall of 1837 he with his wife and children moved to Kirtland Ohio at the behest of Joseph Smith. When the Mormons were forced to leave Ohio and Missouri the Brunell family moved to Adams Illinois where he passed away in 1841, possibly from malaria contracted while working on drainage ditches to clear the swamps.

His oldest daughter Elizabeth remained a loyal member of the Mormon church and was among the pioneers to Utah.

His remaining children and his widow did not remain with the church and reverted to their previous Methodist faith.
