• Lauren initially traveled to the Salt Lake Valley in the Abraham O. Smoot - Samuel Russell Company in 1847. His name is also listed on the roster for the Willard Richards Company that arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in 1848.

  He later participated as one of the rescuers that were sent out in the winter of 1856 to assist the members of the Church stranded in Wyoming. 

  In some sources his given name is spelled "Lorin" or "Loren."
