Elizabeth Ann Brown Walker
1816-1900
Elizabeth was born October 24, 1816, at Williamson County, Tennessee. She was the youngest in a family of twelve children born to Daniel Brown and Sylvia Winset. Her parents and their children were all born in Williamson County, Tennessee.
Elizabeth married John Beauchamp Walker in Tishomingo, Mississippi in 1835, where he was in the dairy business with his brother, Thomas. Thomas was a Methodist minister.
John and Elizabeth were converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1838. John’s brother asked John and Elizabeth to renounce their belief or leave. They chose to leave and took their two-year-old daughter with them.
They went to Nauvoo, Illinois, where they both labored on the Nauvoo Temple. They were permitted to receive their temple endowments and perform the same for some of their deceased kindred. Later, during the persecutions and mobbing, which befell the saints, family records were lost so the temple records were all they had.
