http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watford

Watford is a town and district in Hertfordshire, England situated 21 miles northwest of London.

The borough lies just to the north of Greater London.

Watford remained an agricultural community with some cottage industry for many centuries. The

Industrial Revolution brought the Grand Junction Canal in 1798 and the London and

Birmingham Railway in 1837, both located here for the same reasons the road had followed

centuries before, seeking an easy gradient over the Chiltern Hills. By mid 1800’s Watford was a

fairly cosmopolitan town.

Mary Ann “Annie” Peacock Immigration

Mary Ann “Annie” Peacock is not listed as a passenger aboard “Amazon” or any LDS chartered

ship. SPECULATION: I suspect Mary Ann “Annie” Peacock was aboard “Amazon” in 1863;

along with her sister, Harriet Louisa Peacock and her future sister-in-law, Susan Pilgrim

I don’t know if Annie got employment with the “Amazon” ship’s crew, was missed (895 listed LDS

passengers) when the passengers roll was being recorded, or was just hidden among the

passengers, but I suspect she was aboard.

Mary Ann “Annie” shows up with other members from the Amazon traveling with the Horton D.

Haight Company (1863)

Dear Joe, I am certain that the Annie Peacock in the 1863 Horton D. Haight Company is yours. The

financial records that are noted in connection with her are from Cache Valley, and I noted that your

Annie died in Smithfield. Many thanks for helping us identify her! Sister W., Church History Library,

in territories held by Confederates and emphasizes the enlisting of black soldiers in the Union

Army.

March 3, 1863 - The U.S. Congress enacts a draft, affecting male citizens aged 20 to 45, but also

Gen. Grant and the Army of the West after a six week siege. With the Union now in control of the

Mississippi, the Confederacy is effectively split in two, cut off from its western allies.

July 13-16, 1863 - Anti-draft riots in New York City include arson and the murder of blacks by

poor immigrant whites. At least 120 persons, including children, are killed and $2 million in

damage caused, until Union soldiers returning from Gettysburg restore order.

Horton D. Haight Company (1863)

Departure: Florence, Nebraska; 8-9 August 1863; Arrival in Salt Lake Valley: 4 October 1863

Richardson, William, Autobiography [ca. 1870s]-1887, 18-20

We had some trouble when we came to the Green River. It had been telegraphed to Fort Douglas

in Salt Lake City that a wagon train was there with two or three wagon loads of powder. They

were afraid that if the powder got into Salt Lake City the Mormons would kill all the Gentiles in

Camp Douglas. The soldiers there at Green River were ordered to take the powder from our

wagon train. Some of them came along at noon when we were camped. But our Captain, Isaac C.

Haight, took them into his tent and served them dinner, while talking to them 2 or 3 hours. While

they were in the tent, the wagon with the powder crossed over the river and up into the mountains,

unloaded the powder into sacks and then came back. That night we all crossed over the river and

camped. The next day a company of soldiers came along and stopped us on the road. They

searched all the train but did not find the load of powder so they told us to go on.

The wagon train went on for a few miles and then camped for the night. The feed was good and

Captain Haight wanted the cattle to get filled up before we went into the city. We had to go over

the little mountain and down Emigration Canyon, as the road was washed out in Parley's Canyon.

We camped that night before we started up the mountain, so we could go up in the morning when

it was cool. We got up all right, but some had to be helped. When we were out of the canyon and

started down the bench, we looked down on the City and the lake and thought the sight was great.

We felt much joy, for we had hoped and had prayed for it over fourteen years, and now it was in

sight at last.

Page 4: Mary Ann  "Annie"  Peacock & Thomas Pilgrim

On October 4th 1863 we finally reached Salt Lake City. It had been eight weeks from the time we

left Florence till we reached the city. After arriving at SLC Annie Peacock (and sister Harriet

Louisa Peacock and friend Susan Pilgrim) moved on to Smithfield, Utah.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes: "THE ELLEN MARIA cleared on the seventh, but owing to adverse winds did not put to

sea until the tenth, of February. Her entire complement was made up of the Saints' company, and

consisted of three hundred and sixty-nine souls, one of which was born during the detention; both

mother and child were remarkably comfortable at the date of departure. <MS, 14:5 (March 1,

1852), p.72>

"By letter from Elder Isaac C. Haight, we learn that the Ellen Maria arrived at New Orleans on

the 7th of April, after a very pleasant and prosperous voyage. There were three births, four

marriages, and one death, (Sister Rolph, aged 89 years, of diarrhea,) during the voyage. Captain

Whitmore is spoken of as a very kindhearted and considerate man." <MS, 14:13 (May 22, 1852),

p.202>

"FIFTY-SEVENTH COMPANY. -- Ellen Maria, 369 souls. The ship Ellen Maria which the year

previous had brought a company of Saints safely across the Atlantic, was again chartered by the

presidency at Liverpool to bring another company to New Orleans; and on the seventh of

February, 1852, she cleared, but owing to adverse winds, did not put to sea until the tenth of

February.

Her entire complement was made up of Saints, numbering three hundred and sixty-nine souls; one

of which was born during the detention. (Both mother and child were remarkably comfortable at

the date of departure.)

Among those who sailed with this company were a number of prominent Americans and native

elders who had performed efficient missionary work in the British Isles, such as James D. Ross,

Gland Rodger, Haden W. Church, J. W. Johnson, Henry Evans and Louis Robbins; these

brethren had all acted as presidents of the conferences. Elder Isaac C. Haight, an American elder,

was an appointed president of the company, which included one hundred and eighty-two P.E.F.

[Perpetual Emigration Fund] emigrants.

After a very pleasant and prosperous voyage, the Ellen Maria arrived at New Orleans on the

seventh of April., 1852. There were three births, four marriages and one death during the voyage.

The person who died was a Sister Rolph, aged eighty nine years. Captain Whitmore, as a very

kind and considerate man, treated the emigrants with all due respect and consideration.

Page 6: Mary Ann  "Annie"  Peacock & Thomas Pilgrim

From New Orleans the journey was continued by a river steamer to St. Louis, Missouri, where the

company was met by Abraham O. Smoot, who acted as agent for the P. E. Fund Company, and

who purchased supplies for the Saints who emigrated to Utah through the agency of that

company, to make the overland journey with.

After co-operating with Elder Smoot in this connection according to instructions, Elder Issac C.

Haight, who had led the company to St. Louis, returned to England, and Elder Smoot conducted

the emigrants to Council Bluffs, and subsequently lead the first British company of P. E. Fund

emigrants across the plains, consisting of those who had crossed the Atlantic in both the Kennebec

and Ellen Maria."

Abraham O. Smoot Company (1852)

DEPARTURE: Council Bluff, Nebeaska, 1 June 1852

ARRIVAL in Salt Lake Valley: 3 September 1852

Company Information: About 250 individuals and 33 wagons were in the company when it began

its journey from Kansas City, Missouri. This is the first company to cross by Perpetual

Emigrating Fund.

Of the 250 traveling in the A.O, Smoot Company, 225 are listed and Thomas Pilgrim is not show.

However, it is assumed he was with the Company. The following reference shows him in Salt Lake

City, Utah in 1852.

Pilgrim, Thomas, 1852, Salt Lake City 1st Ward; Utah Bishops' Report microfiche 6051208

He is not shown in any later companies. I do not find another reference for him until 1860.

He (Thomas Pilgrim) was given a blessing by John Young on February 16, 1860 at Lehi, Utah.

I am happy to inform you that I have thus far prosecuted my journey and after the days of our

afflictions having passed by, I find my camp, this evening in blooming health and prosperity, with

their faces set Zionwards like a flint, and feel as a general thing to make any sacrifice to farther

prosecute their journey Zionwards.

During our stay at Kansas, (which was some 2 weeks longer than I anticipated when I arrived

there from being disappointed in the dates of the reception of my cattle) the cholera visited that

place and found its way 7 miles west to our encampment, to which 11 of the emigration company

fell a prey & 7 of Inflammation, Measles, & 1 drowned.

I have in my camp about 226 Souls, sent out by the Emigration Fund, and 26 who are on their own

resources. We left Kansas encampment on the 1st day of June and have slowly, but prosperously

made our way thus far, through the well directed train of his kind providence, who guides the

steps of all his saints.

I have in my train, 33 wagons, 24 of which belong to the emigration fund also 55 yoke of cattle

belonging to the fund & 50 cows. My waggons are good and my cattle the finest, I have ever

bought in Missouri, & I think if the Passengers continue to do as good a portion of foot service as

they have hitherto done, that we shall make a quick and prosperous journey, and my cattle in

good condition when they get in.

You will please do me the kindness to remember me and my sacred charge, in your prayers to the

God of Joseph, that all things may happen well to Israel and be assured that with sentiments of

high esteem I am ever Your Brother and fellow servant in the Kingdom of God A.O. Smoot

Thomas Pilgrim Biography

Thomas Pilgrim was born October 22, 1832 in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England (approx 50

miles North of London). The eighth son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Betsy) Coot Pilgrim. He joined

the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as a young man, and made the trip to Utah with a

company of saints.

Thomas Pilgrim made his home in Smithfield, Cache Co, Utah and is listed as one of the parties

forming the west side of the original fort, formed in Smithfield during the winter of 1860-61. His

log house was one of 68 homes built in the fort line.

Thomas met a young lady, Annie Peacock, who also had come from England for her faith. Annie

was born 12 March 1843 in Two Waters Watford, Hertsfordshire, England the daughter of

William and Phillis Hyom Peacock. They were married July 16, 1864, at the Endowment House in

Salt Lake City, Utah.

Thomas and Annie were the parents of eleven children (SEE NOTE at end); all of them grew to

maturity. They each were given an average amount of education for the time. They, all but one,

married, and all but two had families.

Thomas Pilgrim was a man of small stature. He was a farmer in the early days of Smithfield. He

was a devoted man to his family and the church. He and his family were good citizens of the

community.

On the 17th

of February 1874, the day their son Thomas Joseph was born, their house from the

west side of the fort, was moved to their property about one-half block off the fort line. This was

done with the mother and baby in bed inside the house. This was necessary because the railroad

had bought a right-of-way through Smithfield, and it went directly through the spot where the

house stood.

A few years later the family built a two story house on the same property. This home stayed in the

family until the death of the parents.

Thomas Pilgrim and his wife, Annie, took the infant son of their daughter, Clara, who died when

the baby was small. He lived with them until he was sixteen, at which time his grandmother,

Annie. died.

Thomas Pilgrim died August 15, 1899. He was buried in the family plot in the Smithfield

cemetery.

His wife, Annie, died January 5, 1915. She is also buried in the same plot in the cemetery at

Smithfield, Utah.

Thomas Pilgrim arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah on or about 3 Sep 1852. He may have lived near

Lehi, Utah. During 1860-61 he went north to Smithfield as part of the original settlers.

Thomas Pilgrim was given a blessing by John Young on February 16, 1860 at Lehi, Utah. This was

at the home of his sister Rebecca Pilgrim who immigrated aboard the ship “Thorton” and was a

member of the Willies 4th

Your tombstone stands neglected and alone.

The name and date are chiseled out on polished, marbled stone.

It reaches out to all who care. It is too late to mourn.

You did not know that I exist. You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you in flesh, in blood, in bone.

Our heart contracts and beats a pulse entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled so many years ago.

Spreads out among the ones you left who would have loved you so.

I wonder as you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot and come to visit you.
