The Wood family traveled to Utah sometime between 1851 and 1855. Martin signed a petition in Iowa in 1848, but the first documentation to place them in Utah is a church ordinance performed in August 1855. Two secondary sources incorrectly state that they came to Utah in 1848; however, the family appears on the 1850 Iowa Census in Pottawattamie County. Further research is needed to confirm their year of travel Utah and the name of the company they traveled with.Her death date is confirmed by her gravestone.
