Thomas Fowler - Handcart Pioneer


My paternal great-great grandfather...

Emigration - Thomas Fowler was on the very first Perpetual Emigration Handcart Company (the Edmund Ellsworth .Co. of 1856).
He responded to the following call from the First Presidency of the LDS Church to "Come to Zion" from Worcestershire, England.  He submitted his one pound note as a deposit to the Church Elders (which her received back once arriving in the Utah Territory), and signed on the sailing ship "Enoch Train".
