Thomas Hillyard - my Great-great-great Grandfather

Just a bit about my maternal great-great-great grandfather that you might find of interest.  A Master Carpenter, he learned skills at an early age that served him well throughout his life.  A man of respect and honor, he lived a life that demonstrated to those around him that he could be trusted.

Part 2 - Great-great Grandpa Burbank

Wanted to continue a bit from last week's story of Great-great grandfather Burbank.  In addition to being a sergeant in the Nauvoo Legion, he worked as a obstetrician and also as a carpenter on the Nauvoo Temple.......I think you'll enjoy the story of his rolling a cigarette!
