      In the history of the LDS Church, I found this:

      "Son of Richard Faucett, he was baptized about the year 1837, and casting
      his lot with the saints in Missouri, he was driven out of that State by the
      mob and subsequently became a settler at Nauvoo, IL. Together with the
      rest of the saints he became an exile for the gospel's sake in 1846, and
      while living temporarily in the Allred branch of the Church in western Iowa
      he acted as presiding Elder or Bishop of the branch from 1847 to 1851. He
      was ordained and set apart as Bishop at Winter Quarters by Brigham Young in
      1847. During the year 1851 he migrated to Utah, crossing the plains in
      Roswell Stevens Company. In August 1852, he was called to preside as
      Bishop over the Provo Fourth Ward."
