Name on birth certificate is simply Mary Meredith. The only place the name Mary Elizabeth Meredith appears is in family records of her descendants. Her parents were James Meredith and Mary Owens. She traveled to America with her parents and older siblings. Her father died as group was traveling upriver from New Orleans to Iowa. Her mother married a widowed Welshman. Then her mother and new step-father both died, leaving the five Meredith children and his daughter orphans. All of the five girls came to Utah and married. Apparently Mary came in 1852. The one boy did not make it to Utah.
