One and a half years old, Ann was the first child of Ann Temperance George and John Doney of Corwall County, England. Her family had sailed from Liverpool on the ship "Samuel Curling" April 19, 1856.
They had joined with other LDS Church members from England to immigrate to America, with the intent to gather with the Saints in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah Territory.
Tiny Ann's mother was seven months along with her second daughter at the time Ann died during their transportation from Boston Harbor to the encampment of handcart pioneers outside Iowa City, at Coralvlle.
The grieving parents would have to leave their little one in the lonely grave about a week later, as they headed westward to Utah Territory with the first Handcart Company of Captain Edmund Ellsworth..
