Zadok Knapp Judd was born on 15 October 1827 in Bostort, Canada, to Lucinda Adams and Arza Judd. He was baptized a member of the LDS Church in 1837 and a year later his family moved to Kirtland, Ohio. They, along with other LDS saints, were forced from Kirtland to Far West, then to Nauvoo. Judd was apprenticed as a tinker-tailor in Nauvoo. He joined the Mormon Battalion in 1846, worked in California for a short time, volunteered in the Provo War in 1849, served a mission with Jacob Hamblin, and helped build the St. George temple.
