  • The Nauvoo Temple Endowment Register gives Sarah's birth date as 20 July 1829 but the Salt Lake City Tenth Ward records give it as 28 July 1829.  Sarah traveled to Utah in time to be included in the 1850 Utah Territorial census (taken in early 1851); she was age nineteen at the time.  She was re-baptized in the Salt Lake City Tenth Ward on 6 July 1851.  By 1860 she was in Washington, Alameda, California, and married to Origin Mowrey; they had two children ages three and one, both born in California.  (The census index gives Sarah's name as Olivia Mowrey but it should be Delina, see Find A Grave).)  She died in California.
