In a biography on Hannah Dyantha Harr (Horr),
told by Thora May (Larson) Morrison, it is recorded:
--------------------------------------------------------

"After arriving in the Salt Lake Valley the girls, Hannah Dyantha and her sister, Mary Jane, worked part time for Brigham Young.

Some time after she arrived in Utah, she [Hannah Dyantha Harr] married a polygamist by the name of William Adams Hickman [on 11 Sept 1853*]. She was his 7th wife. They had two children. Mary Lorinda Hickman, born 25 Jan 1857 and Brigham Alvin Porthugh Hickman, born 6 Jan 1859.

Hannah's sister, Mary Jane also married Hickman at a later date [married on 30 August 1856, she was 21*].

Hannah and her sister Mary did not like living in polygamy and eventually took Hanna's children and stole away in the night. A temple divorce was granted both of the girls on 22 Nov 1860. These children of Hickman came to visit mother and I when I was 10 or 12." . . .

"Mary Jane Horr, grandmother's sister, died in 1863. She was 23 years old. We have no record of her having any children."
