Ann Taylor (Perkins)

On 21 June 1867 William and Jane Perkins (Ann's parents), along with many friends and relatives, went to the harbour to see some of their children off for America. Those that went were Mary, Joseph, Ann (*but see last para below), Ben, Ruth and Naomi. All of these children made it to Utah except Ann, who refused to join the Mormons. She remained in St. Louis, Missouri, where she married John Hughes Taylor. Nothing was heard of her until about 30 years later, when she learned of the family settling at Monticello, and she and her husband, after all those years, came to pay a surprise visit to the family who had all the time held the belief that she had been drowned in the Johnston flood.

From Geneanet :

Came to the United States with her husband, John Hughes Taylor from Wales. They boarded the SS Minnesota (1867 -1908) from Liverpool, England on June 21 1869 (ticket #29), carrying their first child, Jane, who died on the ship. (Photo is of the SS Minnesota of the Guion line).
