In the 1850 US Federal Census Moses Mecham ("Mincum") is shown living with his very large family in addition to his mother (age 74) in District 21, Pottawatomie, Iowa. - in other notes and histories on the family it is said that the Mecham family traveled west looking for work and to escape religious persecution. They were able to find work in Iowa, and therefore stopped there. Many members of the family would later travel to Utah including "Moses" who would die in Provo.
