Mary Ann Eccles Robinson biography by Anna Deal Robinson Black
Mary Ann Eccles
born September 1844 in Lanshire, England daughter of Thomas and Mary Alice Hardman
married Richard Smith Robinson 1858 - 59 (She was fourteen years old)
died 19 July 1906 Provo, Utah, Utah
The following was told me by two daughters-in-law of Mary Ann Eccles, Mrs. David (Nellie) Robinson and Mrs. Wilford (Maude) Robinson. Both knew her personally. Maude knew her before Maude married into the family.
Mary Ann Eccles was born 6 September 1844 in Lanshire, England, the daughter of Thomas and Mary Alice Hardman. The church records state that the two girls Mary Ann and Martha were with their parents when they crossed the ocean. Mary Ann was five years old. They crossed the plains this same year with the first hand cart company, walking most of the way. (note: Mary Ann Eccles and her family were part of the Martin handcart compant - Rhonda) They arrived in Salt Lake Valley in 1851. Soon after they were called to settle on the Santa Clara in Southern Utah. Here they suffered the trials and hardships of that country. As the meadows and grazing lands were not sufficient for those there, the group separated and part went to Santa Clara and part to Pinto. Thomas Eccles and family went to Pinto. While living here Mary Ann's sister Alice Jane was born.
