Biography

Ann was born in 1812. She was the daughter of Crispin Mennell and Elizabeth Welburn. She passed away in 1875.

Ann Mennell was born October 12, 1812 in Huggate, Yorkshire England. She was the only daughter of Crispin Mennell, born in 1786 in Norton, England and Elizabeth Welburn, born about 1759 in Fimber, Yorkshire, England.

At the age of thirteen Ann's Father began working on a farm and continued his occupation until he married in 1809. A son, Duke Mennell, also was born of this union in 1810 in Fimber, Yorkshire , England.

Five-year-old Ann and her parents migrated to America in 1817. Duke, however, remained in the care of his maternal grandfather who would not consent to his going to America. The Mennells first settled in what is now Albany, NY, where they resided for three years. While there, the family experienced the great conflagration which almost destroyed that city. They then moved to Pittsfield, MA, where they lived for six years. During this period, their son Duke, accompanied by his uncle, Jesse Welburn joined the family.

In 1826 the 14 year old Ann Mennell accompanied her parents and brother and uncle to the Ohio wilderness where they settled in Grafton Township, Lorain County. It was a move of great consequence for young Ann because it was there a year later that she met and married Benjamin Franklin Taylor. Their marriage was blessed with twelve children.

The Taylor family lived in Lorain County in 1840 when they first heard and accepted the Gospel message from the ten-year-old Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The family joined the Saints near Nauvoo in 1843. Anns' parents remained in Ohio until their deaths. Her father, who died on May 22, 1856, held several offices in Grafton, despite his lack of formal education, and it was said that his death was considered a public calamity.

Ann, her husband and their children were victims of the persecutions which followed their church. They fled from their Illinois home in 1847, crossing the plains to the Salt Lake Valley in 1850. Their marriage was solemnized in the Endowment House, March 3, 1866.

They later assisted in settling San Bernardino, California, returning to Utah in 1857 at the time of the Utah wars. They settled in Springville, Utah, where Ann Mennell Taylor died February 4, 1875, at the age of sixty-two. She was buried in the Springville Cemetery. (From D.U.P. historical files.)[1]
