Excerpt from Our Pioneer Heritage

Married on Christmas Day, the story of John Durrant

[John Durrant attended the Hemel Hempstead branch which Nathan Groom and his brother Henry also attended.  This excerpt is shortly after John landed in New York and was met by Henry Groom.]

"About this time Henery Groom came to see me and inquired about his brother Nathan and the rest of the people at Beachwood Green where he came from. I was pleased to see him because he was the first one that brought the Everlasting Gospel to Boringdon and Edward was the first to receive it."
