	In 1859, federal Indian Superintendent [[Jacob Forney]] listed Tullis in his list of the "most guilty" but Forney's opinion does not appear to be substantiated. One of the seventeen surviving children -- six-year-old [[Rebecca Dunlap]] -- later claimed that an "Englishman named Tullis" was the murderer of one of her parents. But Tullis was not listed in the Judge John Cradlebaugh's arrest warrant nor mentioned during the 1875-76 Lee trials nor by [[John D. Lee]] in his postumously-published memoir nor, finally, in William Bishop's "list of assassins" which he appended to Lee's autobiography.

When his parents died in the mid-West, Tullis remained there until he could gather the means to make the trek across teh plains.

			In 1852, having gathered the necessary outfit and provisions, Tullis joined the Moses Clawson Company which departed in early June from the outfitting post at Keokuk, Iowa. At Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs), they organized the company. Twenty-year-old Tullis had no family members accompanying him.

			Travel on the overland trails was extremely heavy that due because of the continued excitement caused by the California Gold Rush. As with previous seasons, cholera was endemic and some member of the company died from cholera. They passed the usual milestones on the trail: Fort Kearney, the South Fork of the Platte River, Chimney Rock, Fort Laramie, the Sweetwater River, Independence Rock, Devil's Gate, Green River, Fort Bridger, Bear River, and Weber River. After suffering the usual hardships of overland trail the company arrived in the valley of the Great Salt Lake in mid-September.
