The soldiers of the battalion who arrived in the valley this day July 29, 1847 included: Benjamin B. Richmond. At 3 P.M., the Pueblo company of about 240 men, women and children came within sight of the camp. The soldiers were in military order and many of them were mounted. They arrived at 3:30, marching to the fife and drum. They were led by the Twelve and officers of the battalion. The newcomers established their camp between the two established camps by City Creek. William Clayton wrote: "The brethren are represented as feeling well and cheerful." Thomas Bullock recorded: "The brethren were very much rejoiced at getting once more among their friends & a general congratulation took place." [The number of Saints now in the Valley was about 400. The battalion still planned to head for San Francisco to be discharged and to receive their pay, but their wagons were broken and their animals were failing, so it was time to rest.]

After a month of rest, he prepared to return to Winter Quarters, Nebraska.
Orson F. Whitney, History of Utah, Vol. 1, p.357
On the 26th of August 1847 the pioneer leaders bade farewell to their friends who were to remain (in SLC), and set out upon their return journey to the Missouri. Such of the Pioneers and Battalion men present as had families at Winter Quarters or on the way west, were selected to accompany the President and his party.

The weather was now beautiful. The oppressive heat of summer was pretty well past, and the cool, bright days of our delightful mountain autumn were just about beginning. The roads, however, were very dusty, and the way through the canyons, though more passable than before, was still rough and difficult. Their noon halt on the 29th was at the head of Echo Canyon. There Ezra T. Benson joined them, bringing news of the approaching trains. Porter Rockwell came up later. After crossing Bear River the company was called together and organized. The full list of names included Benjamin Richmond.

Their journey back to the Missouri consumed a little over nine weeks. It was prosperous and comparatively uneventful. Beyond Green River, on Big Sandy, they met Ezra T. Benson and Porter Rockwell, returning west with the mail, after delivering the President's letter to General Rich and the on-coming trains. The leading one—Captain Daniel Spencer's first fifty—was encountered by the east-bound wagons on the 31st of August, at the "first crossing" of the Sweetwater. Here Shadrach Roundy joined his family and returned west, and John G. Smith took his place as captain of the second division. The other companies were met at various points within the next three days.

Heavy rains, with snow, set in early in September. The provisions—breadstuffs—of the returning company gave out, and for several weeks dried buffalo meat was their sole subsistence. During the latter part of the journey the Indians annoyed them considerably, [p.355] burning the prairies before them and stealing their stock. At the North Platte ferry they met Luke Johnson, William A. Empey and Appleton M. Harmon, of the nine men left there by the pioneers in June, and at Loup Fork Captain Hosea Stout and a party of mounted police from Winter Quarters, going out to meet President Young, who was now supposed to be on his way back to the Missouri.

Captain Rappleyee's wagons rolled into Winter Quarters on the 21st of October 1847.

He married and lived in Macedonia, Iowa for two years. He returned to Utah with his wife Sylvenia Boice by 1850:

They moved to Springville, Utah in 1852:

His wife Sylvenia died 28 Jan 1854 (though I think she died 1852) and he remarried to Sarah Elizabeth Garlick 12 Jan 1853. He and Sarah had one child David Alonzo, who was born 1 May 1854.

Benjamin Richmond died 27 Oct 1854 in Fillmore, Millard, Utah, but he extracted a promise on his death bed from William Strong that he would marry his widow for this life only. Then apparently, the two children of Sylvenia together with the little nine-month old son, Alonzo, of Sarah Garlick were sealed under the covenant to their mothers and Benjamin Richmond for whom William stood proxy.

William Strong USMB, married Sarah Garlick 17 Apr 1856, but they later divorced. ~Vern Taylor
