First documentation to place the Marble family in Utah is Horace's mother's sealing to her second husband, Stephen Taylor, on 13 March 1852, which was prior to that year's emigration season. Horace's brother, Henry Lyman Marble, is documented in the James W. Cummings Company in 1851. It is likely that he, his mother, and his two other single siblings, William and Hyrum, also traveled in that company. However, further research is needed to confirm that.
