Alternate Names
Priscilla Hammond Lincoln (Married Name)
Priscilla Hammond Sargent (Married Name)
Birth Date
On 1819 August 9 (Born)
Death Date
Circa 1889 (Died)
Gender
Female

She and her children must have traveled some time between 1855 and 1859. She traveled to California in 1853, married her second husband there in 1854 and gave birth to a daughter there in 1855, and reached Utah Territory by 1859. First documentation to place her in the Valley is a record for the rebaptism of Priscilla Hammond Sargeant in the Salt Lake 17th Ward in 1859. That record confirms her birth date and lists her parents as Isaac Dunham and Betsy Savory. Further research is needed to narrow the year of her travel, and identify the name of the company with whom she traveled.

She divorced her second husband in 1861 in Salt Lake City.

In the 1860 Utah census, she is listed under a married name of Sargent. Her death records list her as Priscilla H. Lincoln, who died in San Francisco, California.
