Caroline arrived in New York on 19 July 1863 via the ship Cynosure. She was traveling with her neice, Mary Langshaw (Mary's surname is listed as Schooler on the ship records.) First documentation to place them in the Valley is Caroline's rebaptism in the Moroni Ward on 15 May 1864, which was prior to that years emigration season. So, they would have to have traveled across the plains in 1863. Secondary sources indicate they were in the 1863 Thomas Ricks company, but further research is needed to confirm that. 

Her birth date is confirmed at the time of the above mentioned rebaptism.
