Joel Hills Johnson
The Johnson Family traveled to the Salt Lake Valley with the Willard Richards Company in 1848. The Johnson family included Joel Hill and his wives and children. Also traveling in the company was Joel’s brother Benjamin Franklin and his wives and children. According the Camp of Israel schedules and reports, his sister-in-law, Flora Clarinda Gleason (Johnson) and her daughter, Huetta Clarinda (both listed as Clarinda "Gleseon" on the reports), were assigned to and traveled in Joel's wagon. As such, they are grouped with Joel and his family in the database.
In 1860, he went to help more of the Saints travel west.
