Hanna Anderson and Oley Olsson Joseph Horne Company (1862)
Departure: 29 July 1862
Arrival in Salt Lake Valley: 1 October 1862

Company Information:
570 individuals and 52 wagons were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting post at Florence, Nebraska (now Omaha).

This seems to fit the family history better than the record of the Hannah Anderson who came on the ship Electric, as I understood the family record had her traveling by train to Omaha and leaving from there. What do you think? (I hate patrynimics)
