• He arrived in New Orleans on 10 April 1853 via the ship Elvira Owen and came on to Utah between 1853 and 1855. He likely came in 1853, however, the first documentation to place him in Utah is a rebaptism in the Sugarhouse Ward on 8 March 1856, which was prior to that year's emigration season. Further research is needed to identify the name of the company he traveled with.
