        • According to Florence Smith's reminiscences, her family (including her immediate family, as well as her grandmother and some of her extended family) all traveled to Utah in 1862. It indicates they traveled in a small company. Further research is needed to determine if it was an organized company with other members or if it consisted only of the Smith/Card families.

          Her parents and siblings traveled in the same company with her. It is uncertain if she was also traveling with a husband.

          Birth and death dates listed were found in a personal, online family history record (such as Family Tree, Ancestry, or My Heritage), without any accompanying documentation. Further research is needed to verify its accuracy.
