William Cox Sees Vision of Missionaries - Recognizes Daniel Wood and William Draper

“"There was a man by the name of William Cox who came up and invited us to come to his house and stay with him all night. During the evening he related a dream or vision which he had a few nights previously - which was as follows: He saw two men come to that settlement - and that they came for a particular purpose - that they presented two books before the people together with many other items which have gone from my memory. He also said that he knew we were the men (myself and William Draper). He recognized us at first as being the same Individuals which he had seen in his dream and that he believed what we taught was true and he wished to be baptized in the morning. Accordingly in the morning we repaired to the Lake which was close by - I led him into the water and there baptized him. This was the first individual baptized in that lake and the first Convert in that Settlement."”

— Daniel Wood, Sr., in his autobiography, recording the vision of William Cox, who recognized Wood and William Draper as the two men he had seen in his dream and was baptized in Canada in 1835
