230 individuals and 50 wagons were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting post at Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs). About three or four weeks into the journey, the company experienced discord and broke apart. Some remained in their groups of tens (particularly the groups led by William Lang and Daniel Page), but other waggons traveled on independently for the duration of the journey to the Valley.
