  •  The family sailed to America in 1857 on the ship Westmoreland, and his name is listed as "Frederik Isaac Sorensen" on the ship manifest.  

    The 1860 Utah census lists his name as "Isaac Swanson."

    A few years later he is seen on the trail again, this time serving as an out-and-back teamster. Further research is needed to identify the company he was working with.
