  • Two obituaries for Henry Thomas Blackburn and another newspaper article state that he and his parents, Thomas and Mary came to Utah in 1868.  They went from England to Australia in 1851.  In 1864 they sailed to California on the ship Trieste and in 1868 they came to Utah.  Further research is needed to determine the name of the pioneer company they traveled to Utah with.  In some sources Mary's maiden name is spelled "Wollas" or "Wallace."
