Fergus Lester
His obituary states that he came to Utah in 1864. His mother and step-father traveled in the 1865 Henson Walker company, so he also may have traveled with them. Further research is needed to determine the name of the company he traveled with.
A few years after his arrival in the Valley, he went back out on the plains (sent by the Salt Lake 11th Ward) as a teamster in the 1868 Gillespie out and back company.
