Anson Call and Cyril Call joined the church in Ohio in the early 1830s. Cyril was father to Anson, and the two followed other migrating Saints to Missouri in 1838. There the Calls purchased land from Missouri residents “at the three forks of the Grand River.” The following year, the Calls sold this Missouri land, with a questionable title, to Ebenezer Wiggins. A July 1839 deed from the Calls to Wiggins specified that if the Missouri land Wiggins had purchased from the Calls did not have a good title, then Wiggins would be “entitled to a good and suficient deed” for land in section 30 of Hancock County, the farm land featured in this deed.
