Isaac Preston Bright
His father died in Iowa before the company departed so his oldest brother, Joseph, is listed as head of household in all the company records.
His travel to Utah is also confirmed by the obituary of his brother, Gilbert.
More research is needed to confirm Isaac's date of birth. At this time, date listed reflects data from Alpine Ward records at the time of his re-baptism (14 May 1854).
