Thomas, his wife, Margaret, and children, Thomas William and Elizabeth are in Pottowattamie County, Iowa in 1852. Local financial records place him in the Valley in the Payson Ward in 1856. Further research is needed to narrow the year of their travel and identify the name of the company they traveled with.

Thomas, Margaret, and Elizabeth were rebaptized on 2 April 1852 in the Utah Stake City Branch, indicating that they likely came to Utah in 1853.
