Ezra Pettit Sr. Born 8 Jun 1833 on Long Island, New York; died 27 Jun 1908 in Salt Lake City and buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery. Married Jane Maria Moses, born 20 April 1835 in Canaan, Connecticut; she died 11 Aug 1931 in Salt Lake City and buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery. There is no record of Ezra and his family being part of a pioneer company for the trek to Utah in the official Church index, which is not a complete catalogue of migrants to Utah before 1869. The journal of Ethan Pettit (the uncle of Ezra Pettit Sr) clearly indicates that he and his family arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in September 1861 with the Ira Reed Company. Ezra Sr and his family initially settled in the Brighton/North Point area of north Salt Lake County, near where Ezra's uncle Ethan Pettit had settled. [See Robert R. King and Kay Atkinson King, "The Ancestry, Descendentants, and Life of Ethan Pettit" (McLean, VA: American Society for Genealogy and Family History, 2016), pp. 107, 188-190.
