Jane Menzies was born about 1801 (probably in Scotland). She was 40 on the 1841 passenger list. She married David Sutherland in Scotland probably about 1824 as their children were born as follows: Jeanette, 1825; Henry, 1829; Marian "Mary", 1831; Robert, 1835; David, 1837; Joseph Lyman, 1839 in Scotland and Orson Pratt, 1841 in New York City.

They arrived in the U.S. on the "Stephen Whitney" landing in New York April 18, 1841. They had joined the Mormon Church in Scotland and went from New York to join Lyman Wight's group that had split from Brigham Young's leadership and were headed to Texas from LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Both David and Jane died on the trip to Texas. She died September 27, 1845 and he died September 30th, 1845.

An excerpt from the "Lyman Wight Colony, Journal of History, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints" found in the archive department of the family history center, Salt Lake City, Utah detailing their deaths
can be found in her husband's memorial. Jane died near the present site of Baxter Springs, Kansas.

Their children went on to Bandera, Texas with the colony. Little is known of Henry, Robert and David. Jeanette, Marian "Mary", Joseph Lyman and Orson Pratt all remained in Bandera County, Texas.

Information on Jane is obtained from the passenger list of the Stephen Whitney and LDS records.
