Daughter of Mary Ann Point and Robert Wilson. Her mother was the first wife of polygamist, Robert Wilson of Lightwood Green, Flintshire, Wales.
Her father immigrated to America in the early 1840's as he married Mary Ann Point 12 June 1843, at Summit, Cuyahoga, Ohio at age 21.
Her first two siblings, Catherine and William George, died as infants in Ohio prior to her birth in 1847 at Lee County.
When they decided to migrate to the Utah Territory, along with other members of the LDS Church, her father went ahead with the Willard Richards Wagon Company of July 1848, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley 10 October.
Mary Ann and two year old Phebe Ann left Kanesville Iowa the following July and traveled with the Ezra T. Benson Wagon Company of 1849.
Near the second week in October, as they had almost reached the mouth of Emigration Canyon, little Phebe died, the cause unrecorded. They were near enough to journey's end that she was brought to the Salt lake City Cemetery and is on the death record there as buried in Block 2 Lot 10; the exact location later recorded as C 2 10 1W.
Her father had married a second time in polygamy to Mary Ann Baldwin and had a new born son at this time.
They went to California the following year where two more sons were born to her parents. One died an infant and the other remained in California with his mother.
Her father returned to Utah and married two more times, eventually fathering a total of 39 known children.
