Peter Tidwell - He Answered the Call to the Rescue

Peter Tidwell was my 3rd Great Grandfather, and married Sophronia Hatch (see below).  At age 25, he answered the "Call to the Rescue" issued by Brigham Young, and set out to help bring in the survivors of the Wille and Martin Handcart companies.  I found later that he was actually saving some of his future descendents.....one of the great-granddaughters of a family he rescued, married his own great-grandson.....
