Know your Eynon and Related Families by Luella Grace Eynon Garton: Edward's parents died when he was a small boy of 5. He lived with several families and finally went to live with a family where he was taught to weave. He met Mary Ann Eynon, who had also joined the church and they were married in Wales. They sailed on the Mdanchester, 13 Apr 1861. About 100 miles from the U. S. Coast, their ship was met by a passing ship which told them that war had begun between the Northern and southern states. They arrived at Castle Gardens, New York, took a train to Chicago and then to Florence, Nebraska where they joined a company of Saints coming to Utah. In Nebraska, they met a man who agreed to take them in his wagon and Edward paid him. During the night, the man and his wagon disappeared, taking Edward's money and all of their clothes and personal belongings. He also took some baby clothes Mary had made for her expected baby. However, he did leave her candy=making machines. Another family on the way to Calif. agreed to take them to Utah. Edward taught them the gospel and they decided to stay in Utah. Their first child was born in Fort Bridger, Wyoming, Edward Lorenzo. Other saints gave Mary Ann some clothes for the baby. They arrived in SLC 1 Jun 1861. They went to Willard where Edward set up a weaving shop. After a couple of years they moved to Bear Lake county. Edward built a log cabin. Edward later built a fine clothing store and Mary Ann continued her candy business.
