Ferdinand Christian Oliver Fredrickson

Birth date confirmed by ward records at the time of a rebaptism on 29 July 1865. He arrived in New York via the ship Monarch of the Sea on 28 April 1864. He came one year ahead of his wife and two children who were in the 1865 Miner C. Atwood Company. A secondary source, written by his son (Lars Fredrickson) indicates that he "was hired to drive a four yoke ox team to Salt Lake City in the Sharp Spencer Company."
