We have an individual of minor historical importance listed in a LDS Biographical Encyclopedia about 1901 or so and again in 1913 in Pioneers and prominent men of Utah. In 2009 he is noted in the O.N.E On-line Nevada Encyclopedia regarding The Muddy Mission. The subject has also been mentioned in Daughters of the Utah Pioneer Magazine a few times (1949 & 1968 and maybe more - it is a hard search).
