Pioneer Information:
His surname is spelled "Bramain" on the roster. His name appears on a non–contemporary typescript list in Journal History (Supplement after 31 Dec. 1848, 3) and in "Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah," page 767, as having come to Utah in 1848 in the Brigham Young company, but that is incorrect.
