GAYLORD, John, one of the First Seven Presidents of Seventies, from 1837 to 1838, was born July 12, 1797, and joined the Church at an early day. He was ordained a Seventy by Hazen Aidrich Dec. 20, 1836, and set apart as one of the First Seven Presidents of Seventies April 6, 1837, under the hands of Sidney Rigdon and Hyrum Smith. At a meeting of the High Council held in Kirtland, Ohio, Jan. 13, 1838, Elder Gaylord, together with many others, were excommunicated from the Church for rising up in rebellion against the higher Church authorities. Henry Harriman was subsequently called to fill the vacancy in the First Council of Seventies. Afterwards John Gaylord rejoined the Church and was with the Saints in Nauvoo, where he received his endowments in the Temple before the Church left for the wilderness.
