  • Daughter of Martha Sophronia Nelson Goforth.  Angeline's obituary says she arrived in Utah in 1848 but circumstantial evidence places the family in the 1850 Hawkins company.  Angeline's mother was a widow and a brother, Dr. Thomas Goforth was definitely in the Hawkins Company. (See the life sketch of Thomas Billington Nelson, a cousin.)
