Aaron Asay

Evidence from genealogical and church ordinance records proves that the Asay family traveled to Utah in 1860. A child was born in March 1860 in New Jersey. The first documentation to place them in Utah is a church ordinance performed in April 1861, which was prior to the arrival of that season's emigration. Further research is needed to determine the name of the company they traveled with.
