Notater:

Wealthy Eddy was born 24 March 1810 in Solon, Maine to Rhoda and John Fuller Eddy, the fifth of ten children. She lived in Maine until about age 7 when she and her family moved to North Java, New York.
In 1830, Wealthy grew interested in the preaching of elders of the recently founded Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her family, however, fiercely opposed the Mormon movement and forbade Wealthy any contact with it. Faced with her family’s strong objections, Wealthy ran from home to join the church. Her parents disowned her and she never saw them again.
After leaving home, Wealthy met Stephen Billings Shumway, who would also join the LDS church. They were married 6 June 1831. While living in New York they had two children; Clarissa, who died at age two, and Ammi Warren.
Around 1835, Wealthy and Stephen moved to Kirtland, Ohio to join the main body of the church. They remained in Kirtland until 1838, when the increasingly hostile environment led them to join a group of Latter-day Saints bound for Jackson County Missouri. Due to the birth of daughter Mary Amanda on October 18, 1838, Wealthy and her family had to stop over at Randolph. In doing so, they narrowly avoided being present at Hawn's Mill with the rest of their group at the massacre of October 30th.
The family lived in difficult circumstance in Missouri until 1839, when they were forced to flee the state. They settled in the city of Nauvoo, Illinois with many others of their faith. Not long after their arrival, Stephen took ill of appendicitis and died, leaving Wealthy a widow with two small children.
On 27 February 1841, Wealthy married William Dickinson Pratt who lived in her ward in Nauvoo and whose first wife had died the previous year. Wealthy and William had 4 children while living in Nauvoo; Martha Marinda, William Jared, Stephen, and Mirza Lyona. Of these, only William Jared lived to adulthood.
Wealthy and William lived in Nauvoo through its growth as a city, the murder of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, and the transition of leadership to Brigham Young. When the exodus to the west began, William traveled with his brother Orson to Utah, arriving in 1851. Wealthy, however, remained in Iowa with the children. The details are unclear, but evidently sometime around this period William and Wealthy became estranged and divorced.
In 1952, Wealthy joined the Henry Bryant Manning Jolley Company and crossed the plains alone with her three living children; Ammi Warren, age 19, Mary Amanda, age 13, and William Jared, age 7. They made the journey safely and settled in Payson.
In 1854, Wealthy married William Cornwall Patten, whom she’d known in Nauvoo. William had been married three times previously, losing all of his wives to early deaths, and Wealthy cared for several of his children as stepmother. Wealthy and William had one daughter together, Sarah Wealthy Patten, born in 1857 in Payson.
In 1860, Wealthy and William joined others from their area in answering the call of Brigham Young to settle the Cache Valley. They moved their family to the area that would later become southern Idaho, settling first in Franklin, and later Oxford. Around 1864 William and Wealthy appear to have separated, though it is not clear when or why, but William is listed in the 1880 census as “divorced”.
In 1883, Wealthy’s daughter Mary died leaving behind a large family. Wealthy cared for and raised several of Mary’s children, as well as the son of Ammi Warren, who disappeared around the same time.
Wealthy lived the last years of her life with daughter Sarah Wealthy and her son Jared Pratt. She passed away July 18, 1892 at the age of 82 and was buried in Fremont, Idaho.
