Mary Ann lived in England. In 1854 she married George Leicht, a widower with several children; he died in 1857, so when Mary Ann embarked for America aboard the ship General McClellen in 1864 she was a widow with children from her husband's previous marriage and children of her own. She married John Cornwall aboard the ship General McClellen (see the 19 June 1864 letter of Thomas Evans Jeremy found on the Mormon Migration website.) The family then crossed the plains in the William S. Warren Company. In the 1870 Utah census her surname is spelled "Cornwell."
