Israel Dodge Allphin, didn't go to Texas with the rest of the family. He married Burnetta Collins in 1833 in Illinois and started a family. He settled in Payson, Adams County, Illinois. In 1840 he joined the LDS church. Adams County is just south of Hancock County whish is where Nauvoo is located where the Mormons were centered at the time. He went to Texas about 1847 after the Saints left Nauvoo. He stayed for about 10 years and some of his children were born there.
In 1857 Israel, Burnetta and their 10 children started for Salt Lake City in company with John Henry Moody, a Brother Collins, a Brother Dameron and others.
After many trials and hardships they reached Salt Lake Valley in 1858. The same year he married Susan E. Dameron Coldiron as a plural wife whose husband, William Coldiron, had died crossing the plains. She had two children by her first marriage.
Israel and his two families lived for several years in Salt Lake, but was later called to settle the Dixie Country, as it was called. He moved his families to Pine Valley, Utah in 1862. A saw mill was built on the Santa Clara creek where he was employed and to which place he moved his families.
