Sarah Ann Hulks Henefer


Sarah Ann Hulks Hennefer biography

Sarah Ann Hulks Hennefer


Sarah Ann Hulks was born in London, England, in 1823 and received formal schooling as a child, and as she grew, the training to be a seamstress. She married James Hennefer when she was twenty-three, in Longson but Burmingham, England, was where their first child, Lehi Hennefer, was born on July 5, 1847.

Sarah and James joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latt-day Saints and yearned for the opportunity to come to America and join the Saints in Utah. For several years they scrimped and saved then one day James came home with depressing news, his brother William was going to America, now, without them.

Sarah volunteered to pawn a precious wedding present, her silver spoons.
