  • She was a single woman, from England, traveling with Amelia Williams. The roster spells her surname as "Burnham," but the strength of primary evidence supports the spelling of her name as "Baynham." She married Captain Hodgetts in Utah in late 1856.

    She came to America in 1856 on the ship Enoch Train.

William B. Hodgetts Company (1856)
