| Notes |
- She was the second woman married to Latter Day Saint leader Brigham Youn g . They were married on March 31, 1834. Young's first wife, Miriam Ange l i n e Works, had died on September 8, 1832. With the permission of Mary , Yo ung began practicing plural marriage in 1842 when he married Lucy An n Dec ker.
The daughter of James and Phoebe Morton Angell, she was born in Seneca , O ntario County, New York. When she was quite young, her parents mov e d t o Providence, Rhode Island. Mary Ann became a Free Will Baptist an d was a lso a Sunday School teacher. Deeply religious and studious of th e Hebre w and Christian scriptures, she vowed never to marry until she me t "a ma n of God" in whom she could confide her spirituality and with who m her he art could unite in the active duties of a Christian life.
In 1831, because of her abusive father, Mary Ann, her mother Phoebe, a n d brother Truman O. Angell left Providence, and moved to China, New Yor k , where Truman was baptized a Mormon in January 1832; Mary Ann was soo n b aptized thereafter by Elder John P. Greene. Mary Ann then set out alo ne f or Kirtland, Ohio, then the gathering place of the early Mormons. Th er e he met and married Brigham Young and remained a devoted wife to hi m fo r the next 45 years. She survived him by nearly five years.
Mary Ann Angell and Brigham Young had six children. One of these Childr e n was Brigham Young, Jr., who was ordained an apostle by his father i n 18 64, but was not placed in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The C hurc h of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints until 1868. John Willard Youn g, an other one of her sons, was also an ordained apostle and was the fir st cou nselor in the First Presidency of the church at the end of Brigha m Young ' s administration as church president. Another son was Joseph An gell You ng, who was ordained an apostle in 1864 but never became a membe r of eith er the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles or the First Presidency. O ne of thei r daughters, Eunice "Luna" Caroline Young (Thatcher) who marri ed George W ashington Thatcher, became the matriarch of the wealthy Thatc her-Young fa mily of Logan, Utah. George was a prominent Utah pioneer wh o at one time , managed a number of Brigham Young's business interests an d was instrume ntal in developing political, business and church interest s in Cache Vall ey, (Logan, Utah) on behalf of Brigham Young and the LD S church.
Mary Ann was also a skilled herbalist and folk doctor. During her trek a c ross the plains to the Salt Lake Valley in 1848, she used these skill s t o treat many fellow pioneers. She also brought many seeds with her an d i s credited with planting the beautiful trees that grow along the east er n end of South Temple Street in Salt Lake City, which was once known a s B righam Street. LDS Church historian Andrew Jenson wrote of her, "Sh e wa s a very gifted and intelligent woman, highly cultured, yet humble a nd me ek, ever Ready to help the poor and needy, or ease the suffering o f the a fflicted. She passed through great trials and privation but throu gh it al l she was a faithful wife, model mother, and Latter-day Saint, i n whose h eart native goodness and benevolence abounded."
Mary Ann Angell was the sister of Salt Lake Temple architect Truman Ange l l.
