[Compiled from three one-page histories held at the DUP library, submitted by Barbara R. Pehrson and Janet Dawson, both of Salt Lake City.]
Abigail [Sasson]DeMont was born in Aurelius, Cayuga County, New York. She married Jeremiah Smith when she was about seventeen years old. Their first three children were born in Junius, Seneca County, New York. Her next three children were born in Perry, Genesee County, New York. The family moved to Monroe, Ashtabula County, Ohio where her last two children were born. Then they moved to Bertrand, Berrien County, Michigan where their youngest daughter was born. In August of 1842, Abigail's husband died at the age of forty five. Her son, Jonathan, was interested in joining the LDS Church. She did everything she could to prevent him from having anything to do with the church. She became converted to the church and moved her family to Nauvoo, Illinois. They were forced from their home in Nauvoo and went to Council Bluffs. Her son Richard joined the Mormon Battalion. Abigail traveled with her sons and their families to Salt Lake Valley in 1848 in Heber C. Kimball's second company under Isaac Higbee.
The families settled in Farmington. Abigail remained self sufficient and ran her own farm. When she joined the gospel, she did it with her whole heart and served the church faithfully. Near the end of her life, she moved in with her daughter. She died in September 1883 and was buried in Mendon, Cache County, Utah.
