Brattle family.
James Brattle was a member of the Illinois Grays Militia, which was ordered to protect Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church, while Smith was awaiting trial in Carthage, and was present when Smith and his brother Hyrum were attacked and killed. Brattle then rode Smith's horse to the Mormon settlement at Nauvoo, to give them the news of Smith's death.
