Ann Smith Bailey, daughter of Joseph and Catherine Anderson Bailey was a native of Prince Edward Island, Canada. She married Joseph Brown Bailey on July 18, 1818 in Charlottetown, Queens, PEI, Canada. Ann was the only girl in a family of nine children. She was extremely tall; six feet, to be exact and very slender with black hair and penetrating dark blue eyes. She was idolized by her eight brothers. Soon after her marriage, Ann went with her husband to England where she lived at Bath. Here their first child, Mary Ann was born. Later she returned to Canada where she lived at Halifax, Nova Scotia for several years. While here two more daughters were born. Joseph and Ann were the parents of nine children, the last five being born in England. Her husband died suddenly at Bath, England and was buried there. She sorrowed over his death but worked long days to keep her body and mind occupied. She met two
"Mormon" elders and was at once converted. The great desire of her heart was to go to Utah. She began at once working and saving money for the trip. Ann and her family set sail on the ship "Samuel Curling" which left Liverpool, England April 22, 1855 and arrived in New York harbor May 27, 1855. After the long and strenuous journey across the ocean and the plains, Ann looked forward to seeing her son, George Brown Bailey who had emigrated earlier. In the spring of 1866, Ann went to live in Laketown, Rich, Utah. Through all the years of her life, Ann was a hard worker. She died at age 70. Although only three of her own children lived to have families of their own, today she has numerous posterity.
