Thomas Williams (b.1837ish). Married Jane Fawson June 27th 1857 (b.1840). First born Priseilla/Priscilla b.1861. Emigrated to United States 1861 from Liverpool aboard 'The Underwriter'. Arrived New York May 22nd. Destination Utah. Does anyone have this kind of detail in their family tree? I would appreciate any assistance. Special thanks to Lew for the passenger list info'. Update: I have forwarded this information to LDS who can confirm they were a part of the movement of 60,000 Pioneers. Unfortunately they cannot be placed within a specific company. I know they settled in Grantsville, Tooele County, Utah and have located them in the 1880 US Census. Priscilla married and became Priscilla Williams Parkinson. Kind Regards Mike

Michael...........I can't help you with your search but one of my Jones ancestors immigrated on the Underwriter in 1853. I compiled a bit of history about the ship that you can read at my tree OWEN JONES. If you can't view the tree email a request and I will open it to you.
