Susannah Dalley Clark was the sixth child in a family of seven children. She was born in Leominster, Herefordshire, England, on September 30, 1830, a daughter of William Dalley and Ann Davies. She spent most of her girlhood days in Birmingham and London, living with her sister, Ann
Dalley Baker, who was a well-to-do business woman. When very young, Susannah displayed unusual dramatic ability and also possessed a lovely singing voice. She was a lover of fine literature and when just in her teens she began to memorize Shakespeare. Her sister recognized this love and talent for drama and though she was frequently too busy to attend plays in the theater herself, she always sent
Susannah to see the productions and bought copies of all the plays for her. With these copies of the plays and the knowledge she gained from seeing the fine London productions, Susannah memorized entire plays herself and delighted her family and her friends with her reading of all of the roles.
It was after the death of Susannah's father, William Dalley, that the family heard the Gospel of the LDS. Church and in the fall of 1841 most of them were baptized. Her, brother, William Dalley came to America about 1845, and Susannah and her mother and sister, Mary, and brothers, James and Edward, came to the New World in 1848. They set sail from London on Sunday, Feb. 20, 1848, on the barque "Carnatic," bound for New Orleans, with Captain McKenzie in charge of the vessel. The barque was towed about a mile down the Thames River before it reached the English Channel and cast anchor. There were 130 Latter-day Saints on board, nearly half of them Scotch, and the rest from all parts of England. The ship remained at anchor until Feb. 22, 1848 and then set sail for America.
