Biography

Zina (Huntington) Young was a Latter Day Saint pioneer.

Zina was born 31 January 1821 in Watertown, Jefferson County, New York, United States.

She married Joseph Smith 7 March 1841 in Nauvou, Hancock County, Illinois, United States.

After the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, Zina was united in marriage to Brigham Young and with others of the Saints, left Nauvoo February 9, 1846 crossing the Mississippi on the ice. Arriving at Mt. Pisgah, her father was called to preside over the branch of the church organized at this place. Zina with her two little boys remained with him temporarily. Sickness visited the camp and deaths were so frequent that help could not be obtained to make coffins. Many were buried with logs at the bottom of the graves and brush at the sides. Her father was taken sick and 18 days later, he died. After these days of trials, she went to Winter Quarters and was welcomed into the family of Brigham Young. With them she began the journey to the Salt Lake Valley. On the journey she walked, drove teams, cooked beside campfires and lived in tents and wagons.

She died 28 August 1901 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, United States.
