Anthony Johnson Stratton

Proof that the Stratton family traveled to Utah in 1848 is the fact that Anthony Stratton's name appears on the list of lots distributed to those in Salt Lake in 1848. This is counter to the note in Esshom's "Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah" which mistakenly states he came in 1849.

Several years later, he crossed the plains again, this time working as a teamster for the William Warren's out-and-back company in 1864.

Birth date confirmed by Provo 2nd Ward records.
