Robert Smithies
Robert initially traveled to the Salt Lake Valley in the Abraham O. Smoot - George B. Wallace Company in 1847. However, 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.
His birth and death dates are also confirmed by the inscription on his gravestone.
