New Hampshire Manchester Mission

  • United States information: New Hampshire

    Orson Pratt and Lyman E. Johnson were the first Latter-day Saints to visit New Hampshire. They preached in Bath in the northwestern part of the state in the spring of 1832, baptizing 15 — among them future apostle Amasa M. Lyman — and organized New Hampshire's first branch. Orson Hyde and Samuel H. Smith, who had also been called from Kirtland, Ohio, to missions in the eastern states, arrived in southern New Hampshire in September 1832 and preached in Dover and Portsmouth. Pratt and Johnson returned to New Hampshire on a second mission in March 1833 and appointed several local members to serve as missionaries.
