Notes:

Ann was the younger sister to John M. and older sister of Daniel, born in Stirling, Scotland.

She was been eleven when her father died, fifteen when she moved from Stirling to Glasgow, and seventeen when the family emigrated to Utah. She settled settled with her family in Bountiful. A year later, in the fall of 1853, her mother married and moved with Isaac Haight to Cedar City. Ann stayed behind and married Thomas Hand Reid in Salt Lake City in February 1854, just four months after her mother had moved to Cedar City. In 1858, Ann and Thomas moved to Beaver. They were the parents of six children. She died in 1867, possibly of complications due to childbirth, and is buried in the Beaver Cemetery next to her youngest child, an infant who died at the age of nine days. She was a fine looking woman, somewhat short in stature. Her husband never remarried, and later moved to Salt Lake, and then Tabiona. He is buried in the Tabiona cemetery.

John Macfarlane Coachman 1811 - 1846
The douce locality of Stirling's Old Town Cemetery seems an unlikely spot in which to find a connection with the infamous Butch Cassidy, but connection there is, albeit somewhat tenuous.
In 1825, the custodian in Doune Castle was Daniel Sinclair. He brought up his family in the village, where one of his daughters married Robert Gillies. When in 1840 the first missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) arrived in Scotland, one of them, Robert Menzies, found himself in Doune. Such was Menzies' enthusiasm and persuasiveness that the entire Sinclair family (including the young Mrs Gillies) was converted to the new faith. A second Sinclair daughter married John Macfarlane; he died in Stirling and his widow emigrated with her children to the United States of America, home of Mormonism. Ten years later the Gillies family, including their 12-year-old daughter, also left for America and in due course this daughter became the wife of Maximillian Parker. Their son Robert Leroy Parker was born in Utah in 1866; he changed his name to Butch Cassidy and became renowned as a horse thief, cattle rustler, and bank robber. The date of his death is unknown.
Descendants of Butch Cassidy's great- uncle, John Macfarlane, erected this stone.

John married Annabella Sinclair on 9 Jun 1833 in Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Annabella was born on 2 Apr 1812 in Killin, Perthshire, Scotland; was christened on 12 Apr 1812 in Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland; died on 10 Feb 1888 in Cedar City, Iron, Utah, USA; was buried in Feb 1888 in Cedar City, Iron, Utah, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Annabella was born in 1813 in Killin, the second child of Daniel Sinclair and Ann Campbell. Some of her early life was spent in Killin, and some in Doune, in the shadow of Doune Castle. Wayland Macfarlane shows in his book Yours Sincerely, John M. Macfarlane a picture of Doune Castle, which Wayland reports hung on the wall of Annabella Sinclair until the day she died. Annabella and her sisters may have worked in the cotton mill that is still standing up the road from Doune, but is now a distillery. More likely, Annabella worked at Stirling Castle. I have heard the story that she was a chambermaid for the duchess or baroness or whatever aristocrat held sway there, but that I put in the category of second hand information. If anyone has any knowledge about her life in Stirling before she married John Macfarlane, I would like to hear it. She married John Macfarlane, a postillion at the castle in 1833. The 1841 census shows her living with her husband and three children on King Street. King Street is the main street leading up the hill to Stirling Castle.
After her husband died in 1846, no doubt she was in severe financial straights. She moved to Glasgow in 1850 and lived near two of her sisters there. She probably survived by doing nurse midwifery. She was a faithful member of the LDS church. As evidence of this, she was able to leave for America with the first Perpetual Emigration Fund group to travel from Great Britain to America, and only those who were active participants in the church were favored with this opportunity. The group crossed the Atlantic under the leadership of Isaac Chauncey Haight. Annabella would have come with her sister Janet, but one of Janet's children was deathly ill, so Janet stayed home to care for him, and Annabella took Janet's other two children with her. They left Liverpool on the ship Ellen Marie, and landed in New Orleans, then traveled up the Mississippi by River Boat to St. Louis, and up the Missouri River to Kansas City, where they were outfitted for the trek across the plains. Isaac Haight returned to England to pick up another group, and Abraham O. Smoot took over the leadership of the company for the rest of the journey. Annabella and her family arrived in the Salt Lake valley in September 1852. Annabella and her family joined Annabella's mother and sister Ann in the Sessions settlement.
In 1853 Isaac Haight returned from his assignment in England, and was called by Brigham Young to take charge of the Iron Works in Cedar City. Before he left for Cedar City he married his third and fourth wives, the fourth being Annabella Sinclair Macfarlane. So Annabella is part of the early history of Cedar City. She was a Counselor in the Presidency of the Cedar City Relief Society. The Cedar City Relief Society minutes show her participation, bearing her testimony, and contributing to life in this frontier outpost. As one of Isaac Haight's other wives died, leaving an infant daughter, Annabella took over her care, and raised her as one of her own. This child was was Emmeline Haight. Apparently Emmeline and her husband Joseph Coslett adopted a daughter who moved to California, as that is where Emmeline died.
What was life like for Annabella after Isaac Haight left Cedar City under the cloud of the unfortunate Mountain Meadows incident? Annabella died in 1888 at age 74, almost 75, a year and a half after the death of her husband Isaac Haight.
