Note: Above records shows that Jacob Bigler was a Member of High Council. Name transcribed from Winter Quarters Wards Membership Lists 1846 - 1848. Taken from a variety of historical sources. They are not complete, and because of the difficulty reading handwriting, may not be entirely accurate. Most of the lists seem to be from the winter of 1846 - 47, but some are from later. In addition, people often moved to better housing, thus changing wards. Sources for these lists are: bishop's reports, high council meeting minutes, tithing records, and 'census' reports of widow, soldier's wives and other unassigned members of wards. The original records are available at the Historical Department, Archives Division, of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City Utah.

Jacob was called to take care of General Tithing Office in Pottawattamie County in 1849. Jacob served an Irish mission from 1861-1862. Jacob served in charge of European mission from 1862-1863. Jacob kept a journal which is now kept in the Chruch Historical Department. Jacob was the first president of the Juab Stake of zion. He passed through the Missouri, Illinois persecutions. Jacob filled mission to Great Britain in 1861 to 1863. Autobiography Excerp: I remained in Nauvoo until June 10, 1846 when i crossed the Mississippi river and made a start for the west with a poor outfit for the journey, but was [p. 114] greatly blessed of the Lord and arrived at Winter Quarters on the 18th of August, 1846. There I remained until the spring of 1848. Being on the Indian reservation, we had to recross the river, not having means to continue our journey west. We settled near Kaneswille, Iowa, and afterwards moved into that town. In the spring of 1849, I was called to take charge of the general tithing office of Pottawattamie county, Iowa, receiving the tithing from the seventeen Bishop's Wards or branches of the Church, and looking after the poor period. There were many poor there who could go no further. I acted as Bishop of Kanesville, and also as a member of the High Council. At the August election, (1849) I was elected justice of the peace, and the following August (1850) was elected probate judge of Pottawattamie county. From the spring of 1849 until the spring of 1852 my time was almost entirely take up with looking after the duties of my office, both in Church and State capacities. In 1850 I was preparing to start west to Utah, but Apostle Orson Hyde wanted my services in Iowa, so I remained there till 1852, On June 10 1852, crossed the Missouri river with a moderate outfit for the journey, and were organized in Captain Gardner's company, it being company 10. I was captain of the first ten families. We arrived in Salt Lake City in September. After remaining in the city a short time, I left for Nephi, Juab county, Utah, arriving there Oct. 18, 1852, where I have lived ever since, until the present time (1907). This settlement was commenced in 1851. In November, 1852, I was ordained Bishop of Juab county under the hands of Apostle Geo. A. Smith, which position I held till 1861, when I was called on a mission to Europe. In June, 1853, the Indian war broke out;
