After Sarah's mother died, her father, heartbroken, moved his family to Louisiana. Sarah and two of her sisters, Elizabeth and Tabitha, were taken to Illinois to go to school. While there, they joined the Mormons and made the long arduous trek to Salt Lake City. (See notes for Elizabeth D1103009). On the trek to Salt Lake City, Sarah met John WATTIS, an Englishman, who, with his brother Edward, was also making the pilgrimage; this group arrived 5 Oct 1847 according to the history of her sister, Tabitha (D110311). While living in Salt Lake, thinking she was wanted for a plural wife and not believing in polygamy, she packed her possessions one midnight and slipped away with John Wattis, being married in Utah, 21 Feb 1848, then journeying on to Missouri. There she bore one son and two daughters. She lost one of her daughters in 1851 and in 1854 her husband John passed away.
