John Ekins
Evidence from census and church records suggests that John traveled to Utah by 1852. The 1900 Utah Census indicates that he came to America in 1850, but further research is needed to determine the year he came to Utah and the name of the company he traveled with. He later participated as one of the rescuers that were sent out in the winter of 1856 to assist the members of the Church stranded in Wyoming.
