William Robb Brand 1866 Paragonah

William Robb Brand 1866 Paragonah Utah
Originally, I was exited about finding information on this brand thinking it was gg-grandpa William Robb's brand.   Then I realized it must belong to his son William Robb Jr.  In 1861, William and his young polygamist wife Susannah Drummond Robb left Paragonah when he was called to the Cotton Mission in Harrisburg, Utah.  He left  Helen and their children to make their own way in Paragonah.  The brand is still significant, as it would have been used to identify horses and cattle that were owned by the Helen Robb family, with William Robb Jr as the male head of household.
