| Notes |
- John Dagbert Whipple was born 27 October 1851 in Parowan, Iron, Utah Ter r itory to Edson and Mary Ann Yeager Whipple. His father had five wives , Ma ry Ann being the second wife. His father joined the Church of Jesu s Chris t of Latter-day Saints on 14 June 1840 at the age of 35. He was f irst mar ried to Lavina Goss on 18 March 1832 in Dummerston, Windham, Ver mont. The y had one child, Maria Blanche was born on 15 February 1845 i n Nauvoo, Ha ncock, Illinois and died 8 December 1846 in Pottawattamie, I owa. Lavina d ied on 13 September 1846 at Pottawattamie, Iowa.
His father came with the Brigham Young Companyin 1847. He then retu r ned and brought his family out with the Wilford Woodruff Company. He w a s 45 years old, his first wife, Mary Ann was 26, and they had one daugh te r, Mary age 1. They departed 16 June 1850 with 172 individuals and 4 4 wa gons in the company which began its journey from the outfitting pos t at K anesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs).
In early 1850, Church leaders advised emigrants that pionee r c ompanies would travel on a new route on the south side of the Platt e Rive r. By taking this new route they avoided some river crossings on t he nort h side that had proved dangerous because of high water in the pre vious ye ar. They also expected to receive additional military protectio n on a ne w army supply road. This was a factor in their decision becaus e they want ed to avoid conflict with the Plains Indians, who had been ag itated durin g the 1849 California gold rush. The 200-mile long army roa d connected "O ld Fort Kearny," located 50 miles below Kanesville on th e Missouri River , to "New Fort Kearny"following the south side of the Pl atte River to th e west.
The following is from the summary of the Company: “The company was s o mewhat spread out with the 1st and 2nd Fifties led by Leonard Hardy an d E dson Whipple.Elder Woodruff, traveling with the 1st Fifty, crossed Sa lt C reek on June 28. After leaving Salt Creek they turned west on a cuto ff tr ail(near present-day Swedesburg, Nebraska). All of the companies ex cept A ndrus used this cutoff(which passed near present-day David City an d Bellw ood, Nebraska). This cutoff trail, which bypassed the Cottonwood/ Wahoo Cr eek drainage, saved them 12 miles.On this short cut route, the y reached t he Platte about 20 miles west of the regular route taken earl ier by Andru s. During this early leg of the journey,a number of people d ied from chol era. The two divisions reunited on July 7 on the Platte.
They followed the south bank of the Platte River a hundred miles we s t past Grand Island, where they joined with the Oregon Trail coming nor t h from Missouri. At this juncture they continued 15 more miles to "Ne w Fo rt Kearny", which they reached on July 15, although army reserved gr azin g rights and companies weren't permitted to camp within a mile of th e for t. On this day they were visited by a tremendous thunderstorm, an d lightn ing killed three oxen and one member of the company. They contin ued up th e south side and miraculously escaped any serious accident or w agon break age during an exciting wagon stampede on July 30. The next da y they reach ed the Upper Crossing of the South Platte (located about thr ee miles wes t of present-day Brule, Nebraska).
From Ash Hollow they traveled up the Platte River, arriving at Fo r t Laramie on August 18. Leaving there, they skirted the Black Hills b y ta king the river road. They were delayed some days looking for lost ca ttl e but reached the Upper Crossing (at present-day Casper,Wyoming) on S epte mber 3. Along much of the road west from Fort Laramie until they rea che d the Sweetwater, they found little grass,which caused their cattle t o wa nder and slowed their pace.
They reached Devil's Gate on September 8. On September 14 th e y by passed the established road over the Rocky Ridges by veering to t h e north through a draw.This variant road, scouted out by J.A. Stratto n an d three other men who were sent out by Brigham Young to locate bette r rou tes and help guide the companies to the Salt Lake Valley, it report edly h ad an abundance of feed and water.Unfortunately, Elder Woodruff fo und n o feed or water and said that companies should not take that road.
They rejoined the established road just east of Rock Creek. O n e day west of South Pass they met with a war party of 500 Snake Indian s , but were able to avoid conflict. They crossed the Green River on Sept em ber 23 and reached Fort Bridger on September 27. Some in the 1st Fift y be gan murmuring, Elder Woodruff advised that division to move on ahea d of t hem to the valley. Woodruff's Fifty found the road very rough betw een Bi g and Little Mountain but reached Salt Lake on October 14 1850. De aths i n the company numbered at least 17, many from cholera.”
