Abiah had been counseled to take his tools in order to assist in repairing wagons and other conveyances. The Company arrived in Salt Lake Valley on 15 September 1851. The following day President Brigham Young sent them on to East Weber to help settle that part of the valley. In the Spring of 1852 Abiah joined a company of volunteers who met a party of Saints who were in distress and needed help. He could not go but sent Joseph Warren in his place. Abiah helped build a road from Uintah through the lower stretches of Weber Canyon into Morgan Valley. In 1855 the Legislature granted Abiah, Ira N. Spaulding and Thomas J. Thurston the right to build a road up Weber Canyon and a toll bridge at the mouth of the Weber. In the Spring of 1858 Abiah took as a second wife, Phoebe Augusta Hubbard. His two families lived in Uintah (East Weber) for a while. Then Abiah moved Elisa Ann and her children to Mountain Green. A log house was built and also a shop where Abiah could follow his trade of carpentry. Household necessities included furniture, churns, tubs, terkins (a container for butter), barrels and bowls, turning the article out of wood from nearby forests. When the Indians, under the leadership of Little Soldier, began giving the settlers a bad time, Abiah moved his first family to Morgan. Here they became in¬volved in developing the community of Morgan. Abiah built a sawmill, grist mill, a number of homes and a tannery. For the sawmill, logs were floated down the river into a large holding pond back of the mill. At the tannery the leather was made into harnesses, saddles, boots, shoes and leggings. In August of 1868 Abiah Wadsworth was elected as a member of the Morgan City Council. Having to provide for two families, Abiah found it necessary to move where land was more plentiful. Sometime between 1869 and 1870 land was purchased in Hooper and a home built there. Abiah was a good fiddler which helped greatly with the social life wherever the family lived. Sometime later he moved Phoebe Augusta, his second wife, and children to Taylor, Idaho. He lived there the remainder of his life. Eliza Ann Hardy Wadsworth died January 24, 1897, in Hooper. Abiah died in Taylor, Idaho on April 18, 1899. Children of Abiah and Eliza Ann were Joseph, Warren, Lucy Adoline (died as a child), Susannah Aroline, Nancy Ellen, Eliza Ann, Charlotte (died as a child), Abiah, Jr. and Lucinda Mathina.
