  • Circumstantial evidence from census and genealogical records proves that Charles  traveled to Utah between 1850 and 1851. Charles is listed in the 1850 Iowa census and not in the 1850 Utah census (taken in spring 1851), so he did not arrive in Utah in 1850. He married Caroline Carson Jolley in Salt Lake City in 1851, and they had a child in 1852. So he must have come sometime in 1851.

Company Unknown (1851)
