Name: Isaac Chauncey Haight 

Born: 27 MAY 1813 in Windham, Greene Co., New York.
Died: 8 SEP 1886 in Thatcher, Graham Co., Arizona.
Isaac Haight was an early convert to the then-new Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was a Mormon pioneer, moving his family West with the Saints to Utah. Brigham Young sent Isaac on a three-year mission to England where part of his duties included studing iron making. Upon his return Isaac was made president of the "Iron Mission" in Cedar City, Utah. He served as the town's first mayor and as an important church leader. His alleged involvement in the "Mountain Meadows Massacre" and his practice of polygamy forced him to flee Federal officers and become an exile late in life. While a fugitive, he assumed the name Horton (his mother's maiden surname) and so freighted material for the construction of the St. George temple. He died in Arizona, estranged from family and friends.
