History

When Henrietta was young, her mother became homesick and wanted to visit her mother in Ohio. Henrietta's father constructed a raft-hut, and they floated the American rivers and Great Lakes from New York to Cincinnati, Ohio. Once they arrived, Henrietta's grandmother introduced the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to them, and they were converted. Henrietta's father was appalled and did not want anything to do with his wife and daughter.

The family moved to Clay County, Missouri until 1850. They joined the Edward Hunter Company on June 29, 1850 and arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on Oct 13. On March 31, 1852 in Salt Lake City, Utah, Henrietta married Hyrum William Pew. After their marriage, they moved to Brigham City, Utah in 1854, then to Springville, Utah in 1858, then to Richmond in 1860. They lived in Richmond until 1881, when they moved to Arizona.
