Marcor Hansen Peterson (12, 13) (KWNV-J3H)
In the fort Marcor found space in two about 13 x 15 rooms for his wife and three girls. Two boys were later born in Brigham City. They were located in the room marked Marker's shoe shop, and probably the room next to there marked order tanned leather next to the gate. Seven people, a shoe-shop and tanned leather would have been crowded. In February 1876, President Brigham Young had called some members of the LDS Church to settle in Arizona. Marcor and others including Ove Overson and Isaac Isaacson went to colonize Arizona near present day Winslow at Brigham City. They were to live the United Order. They arrived at Brigham City in the Spring and went back in the Fall after their families.

After previously posting a drawing of the fort and the maps of those who lived there, my first post of a person is Marcor Hansen Peterson, my great grandfather. I want to dedicate this blog to him and his family.
Other individuals on the 1878-1879 maps as well as some who lived in the fort between 1876 and 1881 when most settlers had moved elsewhere will be posted later.
