From the life of Sarah Ann Traxon Jex Brockbank: In 1854, Sarah Ann’s great adventure began
when she left on the ship, “Windermere,” for America and Zion with her mother,
Eliza Goodson Jex and William Jex (Eliza’s brother-in-law) whom she married the
day they sailed from England, 22 Feb. 1854.
On March 12, a fierce storm arose. The captain of the
ship asked an Elder to ask his God to help them. This storm lasted eighteen
hours, and bad weather continued for ten days. Two days after the storm,
William Jex, along with thirty-six others came down with small pox. Three days
after the outbreak of smallpox, the ship caught fire. Water buckets brought
into use, soon had the fire under control. They became so short of food that they
had to be put on half rations while they were crossing the Atlantic Ocean for
the ten weeks. Many deaths occurred on board.
