History - Married at sixteen, Eliza Ann remained faithful while being torn between a husband who served several missions from 1836 to 1854 and a father to whom the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was a mystery.
She experienced Nauvoo, was endowed in the temple there, gave birth to her third child shortly before her husband took responsibility for a second wife.
Eliza Ann made several trips between West Virginia and Utah, bringing one time, the first threshing machine to enter the Valley. She also brought with her a younger brother, named her first child by her second husband after the second wife of her first husband and made certain her Turpin children and Van Valkenburgh son were baptized.
Slight in build, her patriarchal blessing pronounced by John Smith, October 28, 1845, promises her children will be members of the Kingdom. She was quietly faithful while being widowed twice.
