Elizabeth Tonks Beeston

Elizabeth ("Eliza") and her husband James sailed to America in 1860 on the Underwriter, spent some time in New York, and then arrived in Utah by 1864. Church ordinances were performed for Elizabeth and James on 29 April 1865, which was prior to the arrival of that season's emigration.

The obituary of James states, "In 1864 he was the captain of a brave little band of immigrants who set out of Utah." Further research is needed to confirm this information.
