Campbell wrote, “A restoration of the ancient order of things is all that is necessary to the happiness and usefulness of christians. . . .

Known as “the Family” or “Morley’s Family,” this group of Sidney Rigdon’s followers lived communally on Isaac Morley’s farm in the township of Kirtland, Ohio, in an effort to replicate the New Testament ideal of having “all things common.” Of the Family’s origin, Lyman Wight wrote, “I went to Kirtland, about twenty miles, to see Bro. I[saac] Morley and—[Titus] Billings, after some conversation on the subject we entered into a covenant to make our interests one as anciently. In conformity to this covenant I moved the next February [1830] to Kirtland, into the house with Bro. Morley. We commenced our labors together with great peace and union. We were soon joined by eight other families. Our labors were united both in farming and mechanism, all of which was prosecuted with great vigor. We truly began to feel as if the millennium was close at hand.” (Acts 2:44; History of the Reorganized Church, 1:152–153; see also De Pillis, “Development of Mormon Communitarianism,” 58–62; and Backman, “Non-Mormon View of the Birth of Mormonism in Ohio,” 308.)
