Evidence from census and church ordinance records proves that Elkanah and Harriet Smith and their three children came to Utah in 1861 or 1862.  They appear in the 1860 Iowa census.  The first documentation to place them in Utah is a church ordinance performed for Elkanah 18 July 1863, which was prior to the arrival of that season's emigration.  Further research is needed to determine the year they came to Utah and the name of the pioneer company they traveled with.
