John Henry Gordon, Sr.

PEF records show that the family traveled to Utah in 1861. A child, William, was born in England in September 1855, according to Family Search, died while crossing the plains in 1860 or 1861. The first documentation to place them in Utah is the birth of another child in October 1861 in Salt Lake City. Further research is needed to determine the year they came to Utah and the name of the company they traveled with.
