  • Elizabeth married John Orson Angus while he was serving a mission in England. She returned with him to Utah via the ship Old England, arriving in New Orleans on 26 April 1854.

    A letter from George A. Smith, printed in the Journal History stated: "Captain James Brown's, Job Smith's, and Dr. Richardson's emigrating trains have arrived. Elder John O. Angus has arrived in safety, and our people are now coming in every day." This letter would indicate that John and his wife Elizabeth would have traveled in one of these companies. Further research is needed to identify which.

    Birth date is confirmed by Millcreek Ward records at the time of a rebaptism on 21 August 1855. However, she was rebaptised again in Millcreek on 14 December 1856, at which time, her birth date was recorded as 5 August 1825.
