  • Clarissa appears in the 1852 Iowa state census (which was taken before July). She, her daughter, Elsie, and son, Ezekiel are all seen documented in the Utah Stake City Ward records at the time of their rebaptisms on 26 September 1852, indicating all three of them traveled to the Valley in that year. Further research is needed to identify the name of the company they traveled with.
