family across the Atlantic ocean. Among the family members were Agnes Ann, his
daughter, and Elizabeth MORRIS Farmer, his mother. The voyage was on the "Horizon"
and Agnes Ann was the age of 10. They arrived at Constitution Wharf in Boston,
Massachusetts with her father, brothers, and sisters on 30 Jun 1856. They sailed
under the direction of Edward Martin. From Boston the 96th Company traveled by
train through Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Rock Island, and Davenport
to Iowa City, Iowa, where the handcart trail began. Before arriving, Grandmother
Elizabeth MORRIS Farmer died at/near Chicago, Illinois. The family finally arrived
in Iowa City 8 Jul 1856. The family left Captain Martin at this point due to
their being able to outfit themselves with a wagon (rather than by handcart).
The rest is history. This happens to be the same Edward Martin of the Willie/Martin
Handcart Tragedy. The Farmer family continued their journey from Iowa City on
1 Aug 1856 under the leadership of Captain Dan Jones. Notwithstanding the fact
that the family was traveling by wagon, they encountered their own struggles
during the early winter of 1856 and had the necessity of being "rescued"
in Wyoming. They arrived in the Salt Lake Valley between 10 and 15 Dec 1856 while
Agnes was only in her 12th year.
