Notes:

Elizabeth Brockbank (Bushnell), daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth Mainwari n g Brockbank, was born Nov 8, 1838, in Liverpool, England. Her father w a s employed by the Bath Water Works Company, which supplied the ships fr o m all over the world with water. The family belonged to the Wesley Meth od ist Church, where Isaac taught a class. Early in 1843, Isaac went to h ea r Parley P. Pratt, a Mormon Missionary, and joined the Mormon Church , muc h to the opposition of his wife. Isaac used to take the children wi th hi m to attend the Mormon Sunday School. When he decided to go to Utah , Eliz abeth tried to get the children to tell him they would not go wit h him, b ut they really wanted to go, as they thought it would be wonderf ul to cro ss the ocean and live in a new country. She told Isaac she woul d go wit h him only if he promised her she could return to England if sh e did no t like Utah, and he promised.

They received funds from the Emigration Fund to pay for the journey, a n d sailed from Liverpool Feb 11, 1852, on the ship "the Ellen Marie", a n d docked at New Orleans where they took a River Boat for Kansas City. C ho lera broke out in the camp, and many died and were buried in crude box es , many were so weak they could hardly move. All of these hardships ups e t Elizabeth's mother and she dreaded crossing the plains. When they we r e assigned wagons in the O.A. Snoot Company, she did all she could to c ar e for her four children; Isaac, Elizabeth, Joshua, and Agnes, but to e ver ything else she seemed indifferent. In the latter part of July they p asse d Ft. Laramie, and soon after that they came to a hill just before t hey w ere to stop for their noon meal. Elizabeth and some of the other wo men ou t of the wagon to walk up the hill in order that the oxen would no t hav e to pull such heavy loads. There were ripe wild berries and the la dies t opped to pick some, but the wagons kept moving. When they stoppe d for noo n all the ladies were there except Elizabeth, Isaac's wife. He r son Isaa c rode back on a horse to hunt for her but found no trace of h er. The fat her and Chris Layton took a light carriage and hunted for her , they wen t back as far as Ft. Laramie but found no trace of her. The me n at Ft. La ramie promised to keep looking if they found her let the folk s know, bu t no trace of her has ever been found. It is supposed that sh e was captur ed by some roving Indians.

This left the daughter Elizabeth, not yet fourteen years old, in car e o f the family. The company arrived in Salt Lake Sept 4, 1852. They sta ye d in Salt Lake a month and were assigned to go to Palmyra, on the shor e s of Utah Lake. Just before leaving Isaac the father, married Sarah Bro wn , Oct. 2, 1852. Sarah had crossed the plains in the same company. The y li ved in a dugout and had to trade some of their clothes for food. The y fla yed wheat in order to earn enough wheat for some flour.

Elizabeth the daughter, went to live with a family named Pollock, Mr. Po l lock was fairly well to do. Mr. Pollock had been called to help settl e Ir on County, and talked Elizabeth into marrying him as a second wife a nd go ing to Iron County with him. Elizabeth though her step imposed on h er an d she was so poor she had nothing for herself, so she decided to ma rry Mr . Pollock. They got as far as Fillmore, and Elizabeth decided sh e di d n t want Mr. Pollock as a husband. Brigham Young came to Fillmor e so El izabeth told him her troubles and Brigham gave her a church divor ce.

On August 14, 1854, Elizabeth married John Bushnell who had been sen t t o Fillmore. They had the first post office and a small store. Elizabe th k ept the books and cooked for the mail carriers. Her brother Isaac wa s on e of the first mail carriers.

Four children were born to Elizabeth and John while living in Fillmore : J ohn B., Edward B., Isaac B., and Daniel B. In 1862 they traded thei r prop erty in Fillmore for farm land in Meadow, where they were one of t he firs t six families in Meadow.

Elizabeth was first counselor to Sarah Stott, who was the first preside n t of the primary, and later she became the second president. She serve d i n the Relief Society Presidency, sang in the choir, and served in th e chu rch in every way possible. She was an excellent nurse and took car e of th e sick for years, besides taking care of a large family since fou r more c hildren were born in Meadow: Howard B., Joshua B., Elizabeth B , and Eliz a Jane.

John and his sons had gone into the sheep business and Elizabeth helpe d t hem in many ways. John died in 1882, and she carried on the busines s fo r forty years with her boys. They were known as the "Bushnell Brothe rs" , and they were united by that great love which she instilled in ever y on e of her children. Although her troubles were many she declared "Th e los s of my dear mother steeled me for the troubles that followed."

Elizabeth died in Meadow September 16, 1926, at the home of her daught e r Elizabeth Bennett, loved by everyone who ever knew her.
