Ann's parents were James Meredith and Mary Williams (NOT Mary Owens). Ann traveled to America with her father, step-mother, and four younger siblings. Her father died as the Welsh group was traveling upriver from New Orleans to Iowa. Her step-mother married a widowed Welshman. Then her step-mother and new step-father both died, leaving the five Meredith children and his daughter orphans. All five of the girls came to Utah, apparently about 1852, and married. The one boy did not make it to Utah.
