• William traveled overseas on the ship North Atlantic with his widowed mother, Mary, his brother, John, sister-in-law, Ann, and their two children William and Sarah. He did not travel overland with his brother's family, as they remained in St. Louis while another child was born. Further research is needed to determine the year of his travel and the name of the company he traveled with. It is likely he traveled in 1851. First documentation of him in Utah is the 1856 census, where he is listed with his wife Dorothy.
