Thomas Walton Price 
Patriarchal Blessing 

Blessing given at Millcreek Ward, 12 February 1857 by John Young upon the head of 
Thomas Walton, son of Thomas and Sarah Walton, born 8 April 1793 at (Sinton) 
Whitbourne, Herefordshire, England. 

Brother Thomas: In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon your head 
and bless you and seal upon you the blessings of the everlasting gospel, which have been 
given unto you. You have received the gospel in these last days. You are literal a 
descendant of Ephraim, entitled to the blessings of the holy priesthood which I seal 
upon your head this day and I say, Brother, inasmuch as you have received the truth 
with an honest heart you shall be blessed; you shall have power to govern and control 
your household with propriety; your posterity shall be numerous upon the earth. You 
are entitled to the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob having flocks and herds and 
all the things that pertain to the present salvation and even to eternal lives. You shall 
be an honor to the cause in which you are engaged. Be a blessing to your father's house 
and to your progenitors. 

Inasmuch as you are one of a family, the Lord has chosen you to do a great and 
glorious work; you shall become a savior upon Mount Zion. Do much in your day and 
generation and say that you shall live yet many years upon the earth, if you desire it 
and you shall help to roll forth the kingdom, and your heart shall rejoice, and if you will 
abide laws you shall come forth in the resurrection of the just and with the millions 
that have overcome and stand upon Mount Zion. Your last days shall be your best; you 
shall have control over the power of darkness. Be sanctified through the truths, all of 
which blessings I seal upon your head at this time by virtue of the holy anointing and 
sealing power and say be faithful and diligent in keeping the commandments and you are 
Christ's and Christ is God and I do it in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, 
even so Amen 

Jane Rowley Colley Price 
Patriarchal Blessing 

Given at Millcreek Ward February 12 1857 by John Young, upon the head of Jane Colley 
Walton, born May 15, 1801 in Whitbourne, Herefordshire, England, daughter of John 
and Emma Colley. 

Sister Jane: In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon your head to 
bless you with a father's blessing. Inasmuch as you are a lawful heir of the same lineage 
as your husband, entitled to a portion of the priesthood with him; inasmuch as thou 
hast embraced the gospel of salvation thou art entitled to the blessing of the heavens 
and of the earth. I seal upon you the blessings of a healthy life and prosperity, and say 
you shall be blessed in your family, be a comfort to them, a blessing to your husband and 
to the Saints of God that are round about you. You shall have power to administer to 
the afflicted and disconsolate \n Israel and shall suffer and rejoice with the people of 
God. Thou shalt have power to control thy household with propriety; thy mind shall 
expand and thou shall be delivered from all enemies and rise above every opposition and 
you shall be an honor to the cause, a blessing to many. 

If you keep the celestial law you shall have celestial blessings and glory and shall 
have power to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection, no power shall 
overcome you. Your light shall shine about you and your heart shall be comforted even 
till you are satisfied with life and you shall be gathered as a ripe shuck of corn into the 
garner (granary) of our Father which blessings are great and glorious, all of which 
blessings are yours and I seal them upon you \n the name of the Father, Son and Holy 
Ghost even so. Amen.
