Mary Ann Wheeler

The family sailed to America in 1856 on the ship Thornton, and Mary Ann is listed as a "Spinster" on the ship manifest.

There is a major discrepancy concerning her birth date.  Her birth information that we have located is as follows:

* FamilySearch:  12 February 1832

* Utah State History Cemeteries & Burials Database:  19 January 1838

* Mary Ann's obituary:  17 January 1830

* A history of her in FamilySearch says that some church records where she is listed with her parents:  17 January 1832.

The bottom line is that further research is needed to determine her actual date of birth.
