• Henry Boley initially came to the Valley in 1849. However, he is seen crossing the plains again in 1856 with the Canute Peterson Company. There is some indication that Boley may have traveled in the latter part of this second journey independent from the main company. Thomas Bullock met him leading a small company of thirteen wagons east of Cache Cave on 14 September. They probably arrived in Salt Lake on about 18 September. Those traveling in this small company may have been the others listed on the roster from the United States and possibly England.
