Excerpt from the Fuller Book written by Ann R. Moyes.^[2]

"On 18 January 1846 My Mother married Elijah Knapp Fuller who was a widower with three small children. Mother's first child was born 4 February 1847 in Winter Quarters. She came to Utah in the fall of 1847. She had five children; three boys and two girls. Unfortunately, it was not a happy marriage. They separated some time in 1856.

At the time Mother had a young baby and very poor health. She and her brother, John, were keeping a boarding house in Salt Lake City with she met William Rogers and married him on 18 January 1859.

My father then moved us to Nevada. Mother had three children by my father; two girls and one boy (of which I am the oldest). We lived there until I was about eight years old, then Mother with her family came back to Utah. Father never came to stay so my mother was left again with a small family. By this time she had grown sons who bought a small home fro her in Farmington, Davis County, Utah.

But times were very bad and we had a hard time to get along. Mother used to work very hard, she had a nice little garden and orchard which she took care of herself. In those days we had no bottles or cans and the fruit was dried. At that time it was hard to get flour so Mother made yeast and traded it for flour. People would send a small bucket abut half full of flour for that much yeast. In that way, Mother was able to help a lot. She would make five gallons of yeast every morning. Her home was well kept. We each had our little duties to perform and there was no quarreling about it. Peace and love were in our home.
