Henry Franklin Wilcox

Although documentation is sketchy, evidence from census and genealogical records lends credence that he traveled to Utah in 1850 with his mother.  They were together in the household of his step-father, John Webb, in Salt Lake City at the time of the 1850 federal census which was taken early in 1851 .   Franklin's name first appears in the records of the Utah Territorial Militia in May 1852 at Fillmore, Millard County.  This is where he was at the time of the 1856 Utah Territorial census.
