Headstones Headstone, Ann Roberts Morgan

Notes - Widow Ann (born Roberts) Morgan emigrated to America in 1874, arriving on the steamship IDAHO from Wales via Liverpool, England. Two unmarried daughters, Mary Allice Morgan and Elizabeth Morgan, accompanied her. The IDAHO arrived in New York on July 6, 1874, after 12 days at sea. The leader of the 806-person LDS Immigration Company was P. Carstensen. The Master of the IDAHO was W. Forsyth.
In Utah, Ann settled at Brigham City and was believed to be living there with daughter Mary Elizabeth when she allegedly married Jonah Mathias sometime between 1875 and 1883, While the marriage is unverified, Her husband would likely have been Jonah Mathias (1843-1928) who is interred in the Brigham City Cemetery. Mr. Mathias earlier married Abigail Burbank (1848-1935) in 1868, so the marriage to Ann would have been polygamous.
A family story relates that Ann's daughter Elizabeth was mistreated by Mr. Mathias, and that a kicking incident motivated John Devinold Morgan to accelerate marriage to her in order to remove her from the Mathias home.
Jonah Mathias is interred with wife Abigail and their natural children in the Brigham City cemetery, Brigham City, Utah. Ann is interred at the Mendon City cemetery, Mendon, Utah.
