Jason initially came to Utah in 1848 with the Heber C. Kimball pioneer company and apparently returned to Pottawattamie County, Iowa where he married Sariah Hillman in 1851.  One child was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa in 1852, and by 1853 they were in San Bernardino California, where they remained for several years.  Elizabeth Sariah Haws was born in Nevada, USA on 15 April 1866, and Phoebe Jane Haws was born in Utah on 28 April 1868.  As this birth was prior to the arrival of that season's emigration, we know that they arrived in Utah in1866 or 1867.  Further research is needed to determine the year of their arrival and the name of the pioneer company with which they traveled to Utah.
