• The Robison family's travel to Utah in 1860 is confirmed by the obituary of Daniel Alexander.  Note that the obituary has incorrectly spelled his surname as "Robinson."

  Although William's wife and children were not listed on the company roster, other company sources and secondary sources indicate that they traveled with him to Utah in Robison's Handcart Company.
