Elizabeth Robinson Condie

Elizabeth Robinson came with her parents and a brother George, and a sister Dorothy, from England.  She traveled with the Martin Handcart Company to Salt Lake Valley, and gave birth to twelve children, nine living beyond eight years old.  She was a dedicated mother, spending her full efforts to being a mother and wife.  It has been said that she told her children about her life, memories and experiences.  We have no record of these details.  She only went to Salt Lake City on one occasion in about 17 years (according to Gibson’s Journal) for a pleasure trip.  She died when the youngest was only about 6 years old.  She made the family her first priority.
