  	Daughter of James William Angell and Phoebe Ann Morton. Married Brigham Young, 18 Feb 1834, Kirtland, Lake, Ohio. Children - Joseph Angell Young, Brigham Young Jr., Mary Ann Young, Alice Young, Luna Young, John Willard Young. History - Familiarly known as "Mother Young," Mary Ann Angell, the second wife of Brigham Young, was not only a faithful wife and mother, but a woman of rare courage. She was known as a benevolent, kind and resourceful woman. Mary Ann, who had been a Free-Will Baptist Sunday School teacher, joined the Latter-day Saints Church and went to Kirtland, Ohio, where she became acquainted with Brigham Young. After her marriage to him, she became a true mother to his two children whose mother had died. She assumed a role, which for years took great physical and moral courage as the wife of the great colonizer. In the first years of her married life, she was left alone while her husband participated in the work of the Church. At the time of the exterminating order for the Saints to leave Missouri, her husband left her while he helped the poor and needy in their exodus from Missouri. Then "Mother Young" secured a wagon, placed a few necessities in it, and hired an Elder to help her get away. At this time there were five children in the family under her care. Brigham Young, Jr., and his twin sister, Mary, were babies. Climbing into the wagon, she seated herself on top of the load with a baby in each arm. As they started out the wagon hit a rut and the baby girl was thrown out of the wagon and the wheel passed over her head. The driver picked up the little one saying, "the poor little thing will surely die." Mary Ann neither fainted nor screamed, but answered, "Don't prophesy evil, brother, take the other child." With skillful hands she pressed the little head back in shape, all the while praying that God would spare her babe. The family traveled on for two days when they met the father, Brigham Young. The baby continued to grow better and lived. They rested for a time in a village where the only home they could find was a stable, which President Young whitewashed. It housed his and the Orson Pratt family. [3]
