In the spring of 1877, Grandison Raymond, his sons in law,
Frederick Henry Evans and Samuel Hart, Samuel's brother and sister in law, Lee
and Harriet Conley Hart, and her brothers Bert and Lynne Conley, entered Thomas
Fork Valley. Their livestock at Kaysville Utah, had increased until it was
necessary to find summer range and hay for the winter.
Grandison Raymond filed for the first homestead that summer on the land where Raymond Creek overflowed and made a natural meadow.
