  • Her maiden name is Harmon, she married her first cousin Oliver Harmon and later married Elijah Cheney. Elijah is documented in the 1849 George A. Smith/Dan Jones company. However, she and her children don't appear on that roster with him. Her daughter's reminiscence indicates that they arrived in the Valley in 12 October 1848. If that is true, the company they traveled with would have been the 1848 Williard Richards Company.
