    William Ashby

    • William sailed to America alone in 1868 on the Colorado.  His obituary states that he "crossed the plains [to Utah] with the last company of emigrants in 1869."  Further research is needed to determine the name of the pioneer company he traveled to Utah with.  

      His birth date is confirmed by his obituary and the date given in the 1900 Utah census, and his death date is confirmed by his death certificate.

    Company Unknown (1868)
