  • When his son, George, refused to continue traveling with the company, George stayed behind with him, hoping to continue on to Utah the following spring. Unfortunately he died before beginning the journey. Further research is needed to determine whether he died in 1856 or 1857.

    The family sailed to America in 1856 on the ship Horizon.
