Although the names of other Robison family members are on the every-name roster of the 1860 Daniel Robison Company, the names of Alexander, Nancy and Ephraim Robison do not appear. However, Ephraim's obituary says he was in an 1860 handcart company. Thus we have added Ephraim's name to the roster of the Daniel Robison handcart company.
Available secondary sources that mention Alexander and Nancy are confusing. The book entitled Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah says that Alexander was in the 1860 handcart company led by Daniel Robison. The entry for Nancy (Nancy Ellen Wagaman Robison) in Women of Faith and Fortitude says, on one page, that she was a member of the Daniel Robison handcart company but on the next page it says that she and her husband were part of a handcart company led by Charles C. Rich. Although Charles C. Rich led pioneer companies in 1847, 1850, 1852, and 1857, none of these were handcart companies. Furthermore, Women of Faith and Fortitude adds the following: "Ellen now fifty-nine and Alexander sixty were fortunate to meet a Mr. Green, a merchant from Salt Lake City. He had several wagons loaded with goods, and he invited Alexander and Ellen to drive a team of horses and four oxen with a load of merchandise and food to sell." We cannot say how much, if any, of the latter story is true. Further research is needed to determine the name of the company Alexander and Nancy traveled with. Alexander's birth and death dates are confirmed by the Utah State History Cemeteries and Burials Database.
