In the company were Thomas Mabey and his wife, Esther, their oldest daughter, Maria, with her young son, John, Albert, Joseph, Esther and John James, a child of five years. Albert Holt [Maria's husband to be] had already preceded them to America and was to meet them on their arrival in Salt Lake Valley.
They set sail on the American ship "Manchester" on Tuesday, May 6, 1862. The ship arrived in New York on June 12th, consuming five weeks and two days on the way across. The marriage of Jane to William Holt [Albert's brother] was also celebrated on the crossing to America.
In New York, the journey had just began... After a long rail journey to St. Joseph, Missouri, they boarded a steamboat bound upstream for Florence, Nebraska, an outpost previously called "Winter Quarters." The family was fitted with horses and wagon, mules and ox teams, food and clothing. By the 24th of July all was in readiness for the westward march. The company consisted of about 500 souls and was under the command of Ancel Harmon.
The Mabeys arrived on October 5, 1862, totally without means. Like others who had come to this desert land, they had to depend upon the kindness of others until work was secured. To add to their trials their beloved father, unable to stand the climate and altitude, sickened and died in March, 1863. He was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
