History
1
James McNaughtan and Elizabeth Barnes married in Scotland and traveled together from Liverpool, England, aboard the ship "Falcon" to the Salt Lake Valley in a wagon after a long and difficult voyage, accompanied by their daughter Elizabeth and two sons, Thomson and Lorenzo Barnes. After arriving in the Heber Valley, James built a log cabin just south of the site of the sandstone home that has remained in the McNaughtan family for seven generations. James and Elizabeth had five children, and James later worked in the mines as a timber man, preparing the timbers that supported the mines as mining was beginning in Park City.
