  • The 1900 federal census indicates he arrived in the United States in 1854. The first documentation to place him in the Valley is his marriage to Anna Kirstena Mortensen in February 1857, which was prior to that year's emigration season, so he would have traveled between 1854 and 1856. 

    Family tradition indicates that he traveled in the Willie handcart company of 1856, which is where he met his wife, but further research is needed to confirm this.
