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,

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.
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

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.
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."

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.

PIONEER HISTORY OF Mary Ann “Annie” Peacock (1842 – 1915) & Thomas Pilgrim (1832 – 1899) Annie Peacock is sister to my Great Grandmother, Harriet Louisa Peacock History of Thomas Pilgrim from SMITHFIELD UTAH HISTORICAL SOCIETY, PERSONAL HISTORIES Addition information from Pioneer Web Sites. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Ann “Annie” Peacock Born: 19 March 1842 or 12 March 1843 at Two Waters, Watford, Hertfordshire, England Died: 5 Jan. 1915 at Smithfield, Cache Co., Utah Married: 16 July 1864, Smithfield, Cache, Co, Utah Utah Thomas Pilgrim Born: 22 Oct. 1832 at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England Died: 15 Aug. 1899 at Smithfield, Cache, Co, Utah
  • 2. 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.

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.

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.
  • 4. 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.

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.
  • 6. 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." http://www.lds.org/churchhistory/library/pioneercompany/1,15797,4017-1-12,00.html 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.

  • 7. 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.

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.
