My wife's family information is basically -
Artemus (Artimus?) Millett and Joseph moved to Utah in 1850 with the:
David Evans Company -
Left Kanesville, Iowa, June 15, 1850
Leader - David Evans
Arrived Salt Lake City Sept. 15, 1850
Artimus had at least 4 wives although I have information on 6. Joseph Millett b 1832 was apparently born to Susannah Peters in Ontario, Canada. In Utah Artemus originally settled in Manti (1850 and 1860 Census) while Joseph went to Cedar City. In the 1870 Census both were enumerated in Utah (Eagleville Iron County in June 1870) and Nevada (Spring Valley, Lincoln August 1870). Either they moved in the time or due to boundary disputes between Nevada and Utah they were in the same place and counted twice. Artimus died in 1874.
Joseph was in Arizona in the 1880 census. I assume he was back in Utah in 1900 but have not found him in that census. In 1910 he was in Iron County Cedar City.
My wife is descended through the youngest son - Marion Martin who married Martha May Unthank. Two of their sons (Rex and Loyal) married two Hepworth Sisters (Cambalena and Priscilla).
