Hans was active in missionary work until emigrating to America in 1857 (http://devinthorpe.typepad.com/tdbbgw_family_history/files/gray-family_group_sheets.pdf). He was a company cook for the Horace S. Eldredge Company in 1858 at age 37 which arrived in Salt Lake, Utah 1 August 1858. Under his direction, 654 (or 657) LDS Saints sailed on the ship B.S. Kimball from Liverpool, England in 1863 (http://www.nhfelt.org/doc_directly/church_chronology.pdf). Hans joined the John R. Young Company in 1863 along with Hans and Doris Petersen.
