| Martha Perry sadly only lived to be 39, dying in childbirth in 1854. She was the first wife of John Waterfall, our ancestor who went on to emigrate to Salt Lake City with his 2nd wife. She was a cancerian! :o) She was later inducted into the Mormons by her husband John. Luckily this has meant lots of people have traced her as a result! | ||
