Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel, 1847–1868

Seegmiller, Charles William

Birth Date: 2 Jan. 1843 Death Date: 4 May 1946 Gender: Male Age: 24 Company: 1847-1868 (Unknown Year of Travel)

Pioneer Information: Evidence from census, genealogical and church records proves that Charles traveled to Utah in 1866 or 1867. The 1900 Utah Census lists him coming to the United States from Canada in 1866, but the first documentation to place him in Utah is his marriage in February 1868, which was prior to the arrival of that season's emigration. The newspaper article regarding his 100th birthday states that he "made the trek to the United States and across the plains to Utah, following the death of his father," which occurred in November 1859. Further research is needed to determine the year he came to Utah and the name of the company he traveled with.
