Erastus, Captain of 10 – Daniel Spencer/Ira Eldredge Company in 1847, age 49, was accompanied by wife, Lucinda, age 49, many children, and son Sanford, age 26 who married Martha Lewis on route.

Fife, Agnes Ann, Adam, Helen Sharp
Adam, 45, wife Helen Sharp, 42, and 8 children including Agnes Ann, age 5 came with the Wilkin Freight Train in 1851. This was a group of Scottish immigrants.

Phillip, age 39 was with the Mormon Battalion Sick Detachment in 1847. In 1849, he, 40, brought his wife, Mary Hedrick, age 38 and 9 children across with the Silas Richards Company.

Gates, Lucinda (found as Lucinda Gates Bingham), Thomas
Thomas, age 71 traveled with the Daniel Spencer/Ira Eldredge Company in 1847.

Wells, Mary, Stephen, Mary Ann
Stephen, 28, and Mary Ann, 36, must have traveled across the plains in 1851 in an unidentified company. Evidence that the Stephen and Mary Wells came to Utah in 1851 is based on their marriage in Kanesville in June 1851 and the birth of Mary Ester in Salt Lake City in May 1852, prior to the arrival of that season's emigration. They had to have traveled to Utah in 1851.

Whitehead, Adolphus, Mary, Elizabeth
Elizabeth Jane Jarrold Whitehead, 45, brough her 4 children across the plains with the Milo Andrus Company in 1855. Son Adolphus was 13. For some reason husband, Francis stayed in England, but died in 1862 – this date must be a mistake because she is listed as a “widow with four children.”
