When her husband made the journey across the desert to assist in establishing a Mormon colony on the west coast, Cornelia Eliza accompanied him. Shortly after settling in San Bernardino her first child, a son, whom they named Lorenzo Snow Lyman, was born November 6, 1851. He is said to be the first Mormon child born in San Bernardino.
