      RUTH THOMAS-JONES

      Ruth Thomas was born in Pencarreg, Carmarthenshire, South Wales 23 May 1807. Her parents were John Thomas and Eleanor Evans. She married Thomas Jones on 7 Mar 1827 at Llansawel, Carmarthenshire, South Wales.

      In 1847, they joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and for nine years they all worked to save money to come to America and then to Zion.

      They took a tug from Pembroke to Liverpool, where they set sail on 19 Apr 1856, on the sailing vessel 'Samuel Curling.' It arrived in Boston harbor on 23 May 1856, and from there they traveled by rail in cattle cars to Iowa City.

      On 23 Jun 1856, they left Iowa City. They had started with plenty of clothes and bedding but had to leave them in camp after being promised they would be sent to them the next year. But they learned later the storehouse burned down.

      They started off with good bedding but ended up sleeping in their tent in their clothes, because when their Margaret suffered a broken leg they had to make room on the cart for her. This meant leaving behind bedding again. They arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on 2 Oct 1856 arriving with the Edward Bunker Handcart Company.

      Ruth's husband died, 4 May 1874 at Hyrum, Cache, Utah, and Ruth died on 29 Apr 1899 at the age of ninety-two at Malad, Oneida, Idaho. They are both buried at Hyrum, Cache, Utah.

      Their Children were:
      James born 16 Aug 1828
      Eleanor born 15 Sep 1830
      Elizabeth born 7 Aug 1832
      Anne born 7 Feb 1835
      Mary born 12 Jan 1837
      Margaret born 2 Feb 1839
      Llettuce/LLettice born 12 Oct 1840
      John Nathan born 31 Dec 1841
      William Thomas born 13 Nov 1843
      David born 13 May 1845
