Snow, Ann (Rogers) - Biography
Snow, Ann (Rogers) - Biography 2

Here is a variant of a segment of the Ann Rogers biography taken from the Celestia Snow Gardner biography and sent by John Siddoway of Kaysville, Utah:

After the three arrived in Salt Lake , the stepmother married again. Ann went to work in the family of William Snow, whom she afterward married on March 12, 1852. (the records show March 13, 1853 by President Brigham Young in the Presidents Office. Not the "12th".) Before Ann left her native land, she had been courted by a young man whom she thought a great deal of and whom she promised to marry. When the family sailed to America , she had to leave her fiancé behind, but she agreed to wait for him three years. The three years had passed, and not a single message had she received. Then one day about three months after she had married William Snow, she got a whole bundle of letters written by her old lover at various times. He had written faithfully every month after she left Wales , but the letters had been delayed somewhere. "How did you feel when you received those letters?" I asked grandma.

"Oh, I didn't exactly feel sorry," she said. "Your grandfather was a good, kind husband. But just the same I shed a few tears when I thought what a comfort the letters would have been to me on the dreary journey. Later, however, I received some news which made me feel that the hand of Providence had intervened to give me a pearl of great price instead of a bauble."

When conditions began to promise a reasonable comfort for Ann in Salt Lake , her husband was called to Fort Supply . Maria accompanied William on this call. While they were away news came to Ann that Johnston 's army was nearing Utah , and rumors were that the army intended to take control of the state.
