WOMEN WHO TRAVELED THE ENTIRE TREK
Lydia Hunter gave birth to the first white child born in California, Diego Hunter in January 1848, and then died from the effects of childbirth; Melissa Coray gave birth to a baby boy, William Coray Jr. on February 2, 1847 but he died a few days later. Nancy Brown Davis gave birth to a girl, Martha Lou Ella Davis, on November 1849 in California.
Susan Davis and Phebe Draper Palmer Brown reenlisted with their husbands and helped build San Diego. Susan returned to the valley with the first wagon train that came up through the southern Utah trail.
Phebe went with her husband Ebenezer Brown and Jim Zemira Palmer (16 year old son from her first marriage) on the trek and to the gold fields and panned gold and worked until 1849 when she rode a mule back to the Salt Lake Valley.
She and Ebenezer were the first to make their home in the South Willow Creek/Draper area. Citizens had requested the name Brownsville but were denied because the name Brownsville was taken by Weber County in honor of Captain James Brown. Draper was named after Phebe's brother, William Draper Jr., who was the first presiding elder and first bishop in Draper.
Phebe's life demonstrated her great faith in the Lord and her willingness, at the age of 49 to accompany her husband in the Mormon Battalion trek. Certainly, these women should have equal recognition with the men. Phebe was the oldest but probably the strongest of the four women and her maturity would suggest that she helped the others to carry on in the face of adversity, even nursing them when they were ill. Some of the journals noted that Phebe was kind to the soldiers and helped them, making the journey easier.
Mary McRee Black Brown also made the trek with the Mormon Battalion, she accompanied her husband Captain James Brown of Company C, along with her 6 year old son, George David Black, from her first marriage.
Nancy Brown Davis made the trek from Council Bluffs to San Diego with her husband Eleazer Davis. They remained in California until 1850. While there they had a daughter. See 1880 Census at Eagle Rock, Willow Creek, and Cedar Butte, Oneida, Idaho. Shows Ella Davis Wakefield as 30 years of age. Birthplace: California. Source Information: Census Place Eagle Rock, Willow Creek And Cedar Butte, Oneida, Idaho. Thus indicating that Nancy must have been in California to give birth to her daughter there on November 1849. Several other census records confirm this.
