"SIXTEENTH COMPANY. -- Medford, 214 souls. On Sunday, September 25th, 1842, the ship Medford, Captain Wilber, sailed from Liverpool with two hundred and fourteen Saints bound for Nauvoo, via New Orleans, under the presidency of Apostle Orson Hyde, who was returning home from his mission to Jerusalem.
The Medford arrived in New Orleans, November 13th, 1842, after a fair passage, having had only two deaths on board. From New Orleans the emigrants continued the trip up the river in company with the passengers who had crossed the Atlantic on the Sidney, but were detained in St. Louis because of ice on the river, until the following spring, when the journey was continued to Nauvoo."
