Isabella McPherson

Isabella immigrated to the United States in 1854 on the ship Frank Pierce with a group of young women to work in the Boston woolen mills and to earn enough money to bring her mother (Isabella Sutherland McPherson Muirbrook) and brother (Alexander Muirbrook) to America.  According to her death certificate she came to Utah in 1859. This is confirmed by her marriage in November 1859 to James Bevan and by the 1900 federal census. Her birth and death dates are from her death certificate.
