Additional Notes

He was originally called for a genealogy mission to Ireland. However, upon arriving in Salt Lake City, he learned of Andrew Kimball's mission to the Indian Territory and was requested to join with Elder Kimball for a time before continuing on toward the British Mission. He was set apart for both missions at the same time, hence the same date is used for both.
