  • Although a non-contemporary typescript list in Journal History (Supplement after 31 Dec. 1848, p. 6) places the Langley family in the 1848 Brigham Young company, the source of this information is not cited and the information is suspect. Daughter Martha believed she and her family traveled in Heber C. Kimball's company according to a news article reporting her golden wedding anniversary in 1916. Since the Langley family does not appear on a contemporary roster, Martha's recollection of the company may be more reliable.

    Her name is listed as "Martha Wiser" on the 1860 Utah census and her gravestone.
