• Malinda appears on the 1850 Illinois census with the following children:  James, age 6; William, age 4; Martin, age 3; and Martha, age 1.  The only evidence we have of her arrival in Utah is her death, which occurred in Provo, Utah.  We have not been able to confirm that the children are hers and whether or not they arrived in Utah with Malinda, as none of them appear on any Utah census.  Further research is needed to determine the year she came to Utah, the name of the company she traveled with, and the names of other family members who accompanied her. 

Unknown Companies (1847-1868)
