Marion's first husband and their oldest son were killed in a coal mine explosion on 29 Oct 1863 in Patna, Ayshire, Scotland. Marion and John, along with their children, had joined the Mormon Church in Scotland. After becoming a widow, Marion and her seven children emigrated to America. They sailed on the ship "General McClellan" on 21 May 1864. Marion' s parents had emigrated to America previously. While crossing the Atlantic Ocean, her second son James died and was buried at sea. This was a very sad occasion for her. They made their way to Wyoming, Nebraska where they joined the William S. Warren Wagon Company. They arrived in the Sal t Lake Valley on 4 Oct 1864. Being without any financial support, Marion and her children went to live with her parents in Heber Valley, Utah. Sh e found employment in the home of Williams Washington Camp .

(Note - Several discrepancies occur between this published record and what I believe actually happened, (1) She married John McLean on 5 Dec 1846. (2) Marion divorced W. W . Camp in 1870, five years before he died. (3) There is a discrepancy in the date John McLean died, either 30 Sep 1863 or 29 Oct 1863? 6 2 Note: (Research):(IGI records show that Marion married Joseph Carter PERRY in 1862 in Ayr, Scotland. This is in error, as t hey were more than likely married somewhere between 1875 an d 1876 in Salt Lake City. It stands to reason that sh e married Perry after she divorced Camp, (1870) as her obituary when she died in 1878 in Brighton, Utah, shows her name as Marion Lindsey PERRY!) (Marion's oldest daughter, Elizabeth Geddes McLEAN married Alonzo Turrell ATWOOD and they named one of their children Joseph Perry ATWOOD.) (Joseph Carter PERRY remarried in 1880 to Ellen Wright PALMER.) Note: (Medical):Obituary-Marion Lindsey Perry In Brighton Ward, May 24th 1878, Marion Lindsey Perry, Deceased.
