  • The Persson family arrived in New York on 29 May 1863 via the ship John J. Boyd. Their PEF record confirms they arrived in the Valley that year and the Brigham City record of members notes that "Niels Peterson"  with a traveling group of "6 persons" traveled with the 1863 Murdock Company. Nils' wife, Karna, died either shortly before the company left, or shortly after they left. She is likely the 6th person referred to.
