  • Mary Ann sailed to America in 1849 with her parents and siblings on the ship Zetland.  The first documentation to place her in Utah is her rebaptism which took place in Salt Lake City on 2 June 1853, prior to the arrival of that season's emigration. Her name appears on the 1850 Missouri census, which was taken in July, so it is likely that she arrived in Utah in 1851 or 1852. Further research is needed to determine the year of her arrival and the name of the pioneer company with which she traveled.
     
    The 1850 Missouri census shows her given name as "Marie."
     
    A child was born to Mary Ann in Utah in May 1869, and in September 1870 another child was born in Iowa.  Mary Ann and some of her children are shown on the 1870 Iowa census with her parents.
     
    We have not been able to confirm that her parents and siblings came on to Utah with Mary Ann.  The names of five members of the family appear in Early Members of the RLDS Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and their names appear on the 1850 Missouri census and the 1870 Iowa census.
