Janetta Ann (McBride) Ferrin was born in Churchtown, North Meoles parish, Lancaster, England. Her family were the among the Martin & Taylor Handcart Company victims, and her father, Robert McBride, was lost at Rock Creek Hollow, the upper crossing of the Platte River, now Natrona County, Wyoming, on 20 October 1856. With her mother, Margaret Ann (Howard) McBride, seriously ill, it was Janetta who got the remainder of the family to Salt Lake City.
Her mother Margaret married Samuel Ferrin after she recovered. He was the father of Janetta's future husband, Jacob Samuel Ferrin. This made her mother, her mother-in-law! In 1881, the Ferrin clan moved from Utah to Arizona.
Janetta married Jacob Samuel Ferrin (1830-1882) in 1857.[1]
Janetta, age 85 and just 4 days past her birth day, died in Arizona in 1924 of old age and ovarian cancer.[2]
