Alpheus Gifford is one of my 3rd great grandfathers.  This video clip is a reenactment of a talk by Brigham Young where he talks about hearing the Testimony of the Gospel from humble followers of Christ before Brigham Young joined the church. And this is a picture from the video showing someone who might represent Alpheus Gifford. He was a Methodist minister in Pennsylvania who joined the church and then shared with people from his congregation.  Eleazer Miller was a member of his congregation and later LDS branch. The talk was given in Salt lake City in the 1850's but the testimony was heard in Columbia Pennsylvania in January1832.
