John-

Thank you for the history of James Brinkerhoff. One note:
Patty Sessions, who was in the same wagon train with James,
writes in her journal that the first baby boy born in the Salt Lake
Valley was that of Lorenzo and Harriet Young's. Since Patty was also Sally Ann's midwife I am assuming her record is correct and that Levi Brinkerhoff was not the first boy born there.
