  • Henry initially traveled to the Salt Lake Valley with the Brigham Young Pioneer Company in 1847 and was part of the 5th Company of Ten led by Stephen H. Goddard. He lived in California in 1860, according to census records. His birth date and death date come from a personal, online family history record without accompanying documentation. Further evidence is needed to confirm their accuracy.
