Mormon Overland Trail Database: Part 6

Part 5 of the series is here.

This post talks about the Jacob Stevens family.  Jacob Stevens was my 3rd great grandfather.

The family traveled with the Warren S. Snow company in 1864.  They traveled by wagons from Wyoming, Nebraska about the 13th of August.  They arrived in Salt Lake on November 2nd.

Traveling with Jacob was his wife Eliza Symons (3rd great grandmother) and their two sons, William Henry Stevens (2nd great grandfather) and Thomas Jordan Stevens.

Eliza Symons (1815-1878): Death Notice


This death notice appeared on page 16 in the Deseret News on January 1, 1879 for my 3rd great grandmother Eliza Symons.

She was married to Jacob Stevens.

The notice says, "she was one of God's best children, a noble wife and mother."
