Daughter of Isaac Bowler and Hannah Battersley
Married Charles Layton, 25 Jan 1854, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Children - Samuel John Layton, Eliza Ann Layton, Charles Amos Layton, William Isaac Layton, Anne Jane Layton, Orson Layton, Phoebe Elizabeth Layton, Louisa Maria Layton, Timothy James Layton, George Thomas Layton
History. In the quaint little village of Fenney Bentley, Derbyshire, England, with its quaint old English atmosphere resided Isaac Bowler and his wife, Hannah Batterley. Perhaps generation after generation of this same lineage had lived and died at or near this village without any change of religious belief. Perhaps attended the same church and worshiped before the same alter.
To this couple was born five sons and five daughters. The youngest was Elizabeth who was born January 13, 1824. Elizabeth must have been of a religious turn of mind, for she obeyed the instructions given her by her mother while her mother was ill, that there would come to her missionaries carrying the key to the everlasting gospel and that she would give ear to their teachings and join their church.
When Elizabeth was 18 years of age, her mother died and she went to London to work as house maid. About this time her friends, Charles W. Penrose and Lizzie Lusty, who afterwards became his second wife, embraced the gospel. It would seem that destiny had chosen these to be together and to work to the same ends, for while still in England, Elizabeth bore her testimony in meeting and spoke in tongues and when the tongue was interpreted it was to the affect that Brother Penrose should hold high offices in the church and be a missionary in England before coming to America. He was set apart as a local Elder and sometimes before Elizabeth came to America he baptized her into the church.
While she was arranging for transportation from England to America, she met a brother and sister Wooley and their daughter, Ann, at Liverpool. The Wooleys were looking for a lady to share a bed with their daughter on the boat so Elizabeth accepted and came to America with them.
When the time came for the saints to gather to the valleys of the mountains, she came with the Wooleys and walked most of the way. When they arrived at Laramie, Wooley's son, Henry, who had previously come to Utah, met them with a fine rig and team of horses. Sister Wooley refused to come with him unless Elizabeth, whom she called her "daughter, Betsy," could come with them. They arrived in Salt Lake valley in the fall of 1853. Henry Wooley was making his home in Kaysville so he took his folks there to live. Elizabeth made her home with Hector height in Kaysville.
In June of 1854, she married Charles Layton, who was living at Height's also. They continued to live in Kaysville.
In her early married life, she had the hardships of pioneer life. Many times she gathered saleratus from the lake shore and combined it with fat to make soap. She also made her own tallow candles, and sugar from pumpkins.
She was the mother of six sons and two daughters. Four sons are now living.
On June 27, 1862, with her consent, Grandfather Layton married a second wife, Sarah Crockett. She gave birth to three sons and three daughters. They lived happily in the same home for a few years. Afterwards, Grandfather built a home for each family.
In the summer of 186x, Grandfather and his two wives went to England to visit relatives and friends. Grandmother went especially to visit a brother and sister, and when she arrived there, they had been killed just six weeks previous in an accident. She was so disappointed that she returned home after a month's stay. Grandfather and his other wife stayed for a year.
On August 22, 1896, Grandmother laid down her earthly career, still true to her convictions of the truths of the gospel.
