  • He arrived in New Orleans on 23 November 1850 via the ship James Pennel. He was traveling with his uncle, Christopher Layton as well as his grandfather and other family members. It is likely he would have continued on with his uncle or grandfather, but additional research is needed to verify this.

    Birth date confirmed by West Jordan Ward records at the time of a baptism on 3 April 1853.
