His obituary states that he came to Utah with the Milo Andrews [Andrus] company, but his and his sister's names appear on the hand-written roster for the 1861 Homer Duncan Company.

A few years later, William crossed the plains again, this time as a teamster for Daniel Thompson's out-and-back company. His sister, Janet Watson, was on her way to Utah in 1866. She traveled in this company with him.
