  • The Messinger family came to Utah 1853. But the first documentation to place them in Utah are rebaptisms performed in October 1853.  Further research is needed to determine the name of the pioneer company with which they traveled to Utah.

    His birth and death dates are confirmed by the inscription on his gravestone and the Utah State History Cemeteries and Burials Database.
