Elijah West, Sr.
Elijah and his son arrived in New York on 24 July 1866 via the ship St. Mark. As head of household, only Elijah Sr.'s name is listed on the overland company roster. However, the record shows that he purchased two adult food rations for that portion of the journey, which indicates that Elijah Jr., who was with him on the ship, continued with his father across the plains in the Scott company.
