• Notes

  Name: Ana Larson, born in Denmark in 1856, evidently was attracted to the early Mormon settlement, because she emigrated to the United States when just 17 and made her way to Utah. Two years later, she married Jasper Peterson, also of Denmark, as his second wife, alongside his first wife, who was 17 years older. Ana and Jasper soon had two children, but they then divorced. She married Robert Shimmin, an influential early Mormon adherent from the Isle of Man. She was 24; he was 56; she was his third concurrent wife. She and her sons moved with Robert to Salt Lake City, where they had five children together. He then left her, to return to the children of his second wife. Ana died at age 51, having raised seven children.
