Benjamin Williams
Mistakenly, it was believed that Benjamin made a second trip in 1866 with the John D. Holladay Company. Closer examination of Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company records, census records, and additional church records confirm that it was a different Benjamin Williams who traveled to Utah in 1866.

Additional Information
Benjamin and his family reached Utah prior to 1866. Benjamin emigrated to the U.S. circa 1852 (per census records) but did not come west until after marrying his wife, Agnes. They stayed in Ohio for a few years before coming to Utah. More research is needed to determine in which year they came to Utah and which of their children traveled with them.
