All UK records birth marriage and children's births show her name spelt as Diana. However in the US her name is referred to as Dianah. As the record should be contemporary I am using Diana as her name at birth and have added Dianah as preferred name.

Fact: Crossed the Missouri before death. Since it was all Pottawattamie Co. at that time and she died between the deaths of her nephews, who are confirmed to be buried at Nebraska's Winter Quarters Pioneer Cemetery, this researcher (a gg grandniece) concludes Dianah is in one of the unidentified graves near her nephews.
