Her name may be Phebe Ann Morton Angell Young since she and her daughter Jemima were married to Brigham Young on the same day, January 28, 1846. The article about the discovery of her remains in a family garden plot and reburial identified her as Phebe Ann Morton. The property previously belonged to her son, Truman O. Angell. Her body was identified by her great grandson Richard Young who knew of the burial.
Phebe's daughter Mary Ann Angell Young (1808-1882) was Brigham Young's second wife.
Some of the burial information above was gleened from an article "Old bones belong to Utah pioneer woman" written by Ardis E. Parshall and Published March 26, 2010 in the Salt Lake Tribune.
And the obituary for her son Solomon Angell 1806-1881
The writings of their daughter
Caroline Frances Angell Davis Holbrook
1825 – 1908 is an interesting chronicle of the family's struggle on their journey from Providence, Rhode Island to Salt Lake City, Utah including their stay at Nauvoo in Ohio and Winter Quarters in Missouri.
Parents:
Abraham Morton
b. 28 Mar 1762 Athol, Worchester, Massachusetts

OBITUARY NOTICE
Phebe M. Angell, daughter of Abraham and Phebe Morton, departed this life, in Great Salt Lake City, November 16, A.D. 1854. She was born in Guildford, Massachusetts, March 28, A.D. 1786.
In the year 1833 at the age of forty-seven, she embraced the gospel of the Son of God, was baptized at Warsaw in the state of New York; her residence was then in China Township, Gennese county. One year subsequently, she journeyed according to commandment, to Kirtland, Ohio, where the Church was then located. She left Kirtland, June 1, 1838, for Far West, Missouri. She was again obliged to leave her home toe following spring, and abode one year at Quiney, and in the summer of 1840 arrived at Nauvoo, Ill. In July, 1846, the persecutions of the enemy obliged her with all the Saints, again to seek where safety could be found, and she arrived with the leaders of the Church, at Winter Quarters, Council Bluffs, the following fall. The suffering she experienced, in common with God's suffering she experienced, in common with God's people, through these journeyings, are only known to those who shared them.
In the month of May, 1848, she started for, and arrived Sept. 18, at her last and peaceful home in the valley of Great Salt Lake. Here she rested, and tarried several years in the rich enjoyment of the blessing of the gospel for which she had traveled and suffered so much, and here she had an ample opportunity of exerting her skills in behalf of her sex, many of whom, benefitted by her great experience, will long remember mother Angell. Her character is truthfully portrayed in the following beautiful
ELEGY,
Written on the death of Mrs. Phebe M. Angell,
BY ELIZA R. SNOW.
"Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord."
Long, long will Zion's daughters,
And Zion's mothers too,
Her dear, fond mem'ry cherish,
And blessing o'er it strew.
She serv'd the God of Israel
In faith and faithfulness;
Her life on earth abounded
In works of righteousness.
She sooth'd the heart of sorrow,
And calm'd the breast of woe -
What God to her imparted,
She freely did bestow.
She sought the poor and lowly,
And while her hand bestow'd,
Her lips were richly vocal,
Directing up to God.
Her mind was deck'd with knowledge,
From long experience gain'd -
Her heart was stor'd with wisdom,
By faith and pray'r obtain'd.
Though from the cup of sorrow
Which falls to mortal lot,
Hers was an ample portion -
She drink and murmer'd not.
She's gone - and while we mourn her,
Our loss to her is gain;
And we would not recall her
To this low world of pain.
She fill'd her earthly mission
In faithfulness and love;
And now has join'd the assemblies
Of holy names above.
