  • Elizabeth sailed to America in 1844 on the ship Norfolk with her son Andrew Mark Wardrobe.  She was a widow at the time of her emigration, and married John Gray  in Missouri.

    Evidence from land and church records proves the Gray family traveled to Utah in 1848.  Further research is needed to determine the name of the pioneer company they traveled to Utah with.
