Thomas Wilson Ball

Birth Date
On 1865 April 10
Death Date
On 1866 November 21
Gender
Male

His name appears in the 1861 England census, so it is likely that Thomas came to Utah between 1862 and 1866.

The New York Passenger List shows him traveling with his grandfather William Wilson and two aunts, Selina and Anna Wilson.  They sailed to America in 1865 on the ship Belle Wood.

He traveled to Utah with his grandfather William Wilson and his aunt Selina Dickson in the 1865 William S. Willes Company.

His obituary shows his death date as as 20 November 1866.  It also includes the names of his parents.  However, several other sources, including the Utah State History Cemeteries and Burials Database, show the date of his death  as 21 November 1866. Further research is needed to determine which date is correct.

Further research is needed to determine if and when his parents arrived in Utah and the name of the pioneer company with which they traveled to Utah.
