  Histories		A History of William Goodwin and Mary Ann (Harper) Noble They left England May 3, 1860, for America on a sailing vessel. The eldest sister wanted to come with them and got on the ship but was taken off by her husband. They were six weeks on the water. When they arrived in New York the William and Mary Ann and younger children stayed there for some time. Two daughters, Lavenia and Henrietta, and one son, "William Aquilla, went on to Florence, Nebraska, where the Saints were then gathering to prepare to cross the plains in the handcart company, but Bishop Edwin Wooley had several wagons loaded with goods that he was taking to Salt Lake for his store and desired the two sisters to go with them and cook for his teamsters, the brother betting the opportunity of driving a team for Joseph W. Young."
  		A Brief History of Mary Ann Harper Noble In the spring of 1862, this family went by rail and river boat to Florence, Nebraska where a company was being equipped to cross the plains by ox team. While waiting here they had all their belongings burned except one trunk. Under the circumstances, this was a severe loss, but having firm unshaken faith in the gospel, and full of confidence in the protecting care of our Heavenly Father, they left Florence, Nebraska with the rest of the company early in the summer of 1862, arriving in Salt Lake City, 17 October 1862, with the Henry W. Miller Company, walking the whole distance. Source: From the Files of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
