  • Charlotte traveled to Utah in 1851 or 1852. She appears in the 1850 Iowa census, which was taken in November 1850. The first documentation to place her in Utah is a church ordinance performed 23 August 1852. She also appears in the 1852 Bishops' Reports in Salt Lake City. Further research is needed to determine the year she came to Utah and the name of the company she traveled with. Birth date is confirmed at the time of a rebaptism in the MIllcreek Ward on 15 October 1856. She later married John Glover Smith.
