This is an interesting database for those who have Mormon pioneers that traveled across the plains by wagon or handcart. The database can be found here.
This first post looks at the family of my 3rd great grandfather Henry Maiben.
This family traveled with the Jacob Gates Company in 1853 by ox pulled wagons. The company left Keokuk, Iowa on June 3rd, 1853 and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley September 26-30 of that same year.
Henry Maiben, his wife Caroline Penn, daughter Alice Penn Maiben (my 2nd great grandmother), and an infant daughter Marion Maiben made the journey. Marion was born in Keokuk.
