Crossed the Atlantic on the ship John J. Boyd with her husband Peter in 1855. They remained in the east until 1860 when they crossed the plains to Utah with their children. The emigration report also shows them as traveling with Johanna and Anker Kofoed. Some sources spell her name as "Doethea".

Birth and death dates listed were found in a personal, online family history record (such as Family Tree, Ancestry, or My Heritage), without accompanying documentation.  Further research is needed to verify its accuracy.
