BIOGRAPHY: Anne is only briefly mentioned in the various family stories found in the "Thomas Stolworthy: 1828" biography, and often incorrectly.
MISSION VALLEY: When her family reached the Muddy River Valley in 1869, where the Mission was to be established, rude shelters made from sod and brush were hurriedly built, and crops were planted. The settlers suffered great trials while living in this hot, desolate country along the Muddy River, including frequent Indian raids.
Here they had their eleventh, and last, child, Anne, who was born and died in 1869. "Once while Matilda was rocking Anne, a large snake fell from the sod ceiling into her cradle, then slithered out, and crawled outside without doing any harm."
CENSUS: 1870 index shows daughter Anne.
REGION: At the time it was believed the area belonged to Utah, but a government survey in 1870 established that it was part of Nevada. Her family left the area in February 1871. New settlers were sent in 1881, and they renamed the area the Moapa Valley.
At the time of her birth this was part of Lincoln County, as Clark County was not created until 1909.
