Joseph's obituary states that the family came to Utah in 1862. Rebecca's obituaries also confirm that the Beesley family, including Deborah Miller, reached Utah by August 1862. Joseph's name appears in the records of the Utah Territorial Militia at Provo in 1866. Joseph was an Out-and-Back Teamster helping other immigrants complete their journey in 1864 and 1868.
