Statistics of the Winter Quarters Tenth Ward

All family members of the head of the household living within the Ward boundaries are listed prior to their departure West or through 1853, whichever occurred first. Some of these children may have been married or died and were not living with the family when the Ward census was taken. The Winter Quarters wards were only in place from 1846-1848, at which time the government required the Latter-day Saints, who were on Indian lands, to move back to the east side of the Missouri River.

All individuals listed did not necessarily live at Winter Quarters.

Bishop: Daniel Carn (Daniel Garn)
Clerk: J. C. Wright (Jonathan Calkins Wright)

Number of members: 159 as of 31 December 1846
This list includes only widows and soldier’s wives and is incomplete.

# Indicates members of the ward as listed by “Winter Quarter Wards Index to Membership Lists: 1846-1848”.
( ) indicates spelling, if different.

The term "widow" does not necessarily mean the husband has died. It just means that the woman is living alone.

Those members in “bold type” are most likely the ones in the current family.

Multiple wives are indicated by ( ) after the name.
