Discussion

Some sources list Charles Henry Stoddard and Anna Telford's place of marriage as Bountiful, Davis County, Utah Territory, but this must be incorrect as they were married prior to traveling to Utah, and they didn't arrive in the Great Salt Lake Valley until September of 1851. They were married in February, three months prior to departure of the wagon train; therefore they cannot have been married in Utah and further research must be done to determine where their marriage took place.
