NOTES: February 2011: Mary age 35 traveled with the Peter Nebeker Company (1863)
Departure: 25-26 July 1863 - Arrival: 25 September 1863
About 500 individuals and 70 wagons were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting
post at Florence, Nebraska (now Omaha).

(this info came from www.mormontrail.lds.org)

NOTES: February 2011 - Looking on ancestry.com in the 1851 England census, Bremhill parish, George White age 25 and
Mary age 24 are listed just below Broom Driver and Lucy. With Thomas H age 5 listed as a child. There is
not an Ann listed in the 1851 or 1861 England census. I don't think Ann is there child.
