James F. Vaughan

Evidence from census and church ordinance records proves that James traveled to Utah in 1851 or 1852. He appears in the 1850 Iowa census, Keokuk, Lee County. The first documentation to place him in Utah is a church ordinance performed 2 June 1853, which was prior to the arrival of that season's emigration. Further research is needed to determine the year he came to Utah and the name of the company he traveled with.
