Autobiography of Charles Derry also on the ship gives some of the travel conditions for Hugh and James: . . . During the six years of my ministry I had labored in the counties of Stafford, Warwick, Salop, Worcester, Gloucester, Flint, Montgomery, and transiently in Nottingham, Derby, Yorkshire, Lancashire, and in London. And the close of my labors found me as penniless as when I first started out without purse or scrip. But God in his love had enriched me with a true wife and two sweet children whom we loved dearer than life, and believing as I did, and also my wife, that it was our duty to go out of Babylon and go to the land of �Zion, the pure in heart,� where we hoped to be able to train our loved ones in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, secure from many evils of the world, we consented to obey the counsel of the authorities, and seek a home in �Zion,� and the following notice copied from the Millennial Star for March 25, 1854, will show the time of our departure: The John M. Wood, Captain Hartly, cleared for New Orleans on the 10th instant, having on board three hundred and ninety-seven souls, fifty-eight of whom were from Switzerland and Italy. Elders Robert Campbell, president of the company, A. F. McDonald and Charles Derry, ex-presidents of conferences, also Jabez Woodard, ex-president of the Italian mission, sailed on board this vessel, aft
