I am going to look in the 1860 US census this week to see if I can see William Bartington as someone in the US. According to the ship's diaries several babies died on the way over on the ship but no adults. I think is is so interesting he joined the church. I wonder if Sarah Bean living with them had any influence on him. From what I can see from the old LDS records Sarah was at Smith Buildings about the time he joined the church. I have sent for a film of the records and am waiting for it to come to find out.
