    • Her name may be Phebe Ann Morton Angell Young since she and her daughter Jemima were married to Brigham Young on the same day, January 28, 1846. The article about the discovery of her remains in a family garden plot and reburial identified her as Phebe Ann Morton. The property previously belonged to her son, Truman O. Angell. Her body was identified by her great grandson Richard Young who knew of the burial.

      Phebe's daughter Mary Ann Angell Young (1808-1882) was Brigham Young's second wife.

      Some of the burial information above was gleened from an article "Old bones belong to Utah pioneer woman" written by Ardis E. Parshall and Published March 26, 2010 in the Salt Lake Tribune.

      And the obituary for her son Solomon Angell 1806-1881
