Biography
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.
28 Feb 1846 at Nauvoo, Illinois, Phebe Morton (aged 59),widow of James W. Angel, was sealed to Angel for eternity and Young for time.
