    Morten Nielsen Lund

    • Martin initially traveled to the Salt Lake Valley with his family from Jutland with the Canute Peterson Company in 1856.  They sailed on the ship “John J. Boyd.”  The ship registers list his name as “Morten.”  His wife was Anne Marie and his son Lars by his first wife.

      His travel to Utah in 1856 is confirmed by his obituary.

      At the end of a mission to Europe, Martin traveled home with the Abner Lowry Company in 1866, which suffered from Cholera, as indicated in Mary Laren Price’s journal.   

      On the 1860 Utah census his name is listed as "Marten Lound."

      In some sources his given name is shown as "Martin."
