The christening of "Samuel Cartlidge" is listed in FamilySearch (FHL Film # 825393: RG4 3298), which states that he was christened on 5 February 1832 in High Street Chapel or Lower Chapel Wesleyan, Longton, Staffordshire, England, and that his parents were John Cartlidge and Mary.
In the 1841 British Census, "Samuel Cartlidge" is listed as being 10 years old (born about 1831), born in Staffordshire, and residing with his apparent parents, John Cartlidge (age 40 and a "Coal Miner") and Mary (age 39), and five apparent siblings (Joseph--age 17, Margarett--age 14, John--age 12 Horatia--age 8, and Eliza--age 3), in High Street, Longton, Staffordshire.
In the 1851 British Census, Samuel Cartledge is listed as being about 19 years old (born about 1832), born in Longton, Staffordshire, working as a "Miner" and residing as a "Lodger" in Wigan, Longton, Staffordshire.
In August 2007, the RBFO obtained a copy of the marriage certificate of Samuel Cartlidge and Elizabeth Brough, which stated that they were married on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's Church, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, and that at the time of their marriage, Samuel Cartlidge was of "full age" and a "Bachelor" and "Collier" and that his father was John Cartlidge (a Collier), and that Elizabeth Brough was of "full age" and a "Spinster" of "Fenton" and that her father was Richard Brough (a Brickmaker), and their marriage was witnessed by Thomas Brough and Mary Ann Brough--who were Elizabeth's brother and sister.
In the 1860 U.S. Census, "Samuel Carthaledge" is listed as being 29 years old (born about 1831), born in England, working as a "Coal Miner", and residing with his wife, Elizabeth (age 26), at: Upper Alton (post office), Madison Co., Illinois.
In 1863, a “Samuel Cartlidge” was listed in the "U.S. Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863-1865“ (via Ancestry.com), which stated that he was “subject to do military duty” in “June and July, 1863” in the 12th Congressional District of Illinois--which included the counties of Clinton, Madison, Monroe, Randolph St. Clair and Washington--and that he was about "33" years old on "1st July 1863" (born about 1830), "White", a "Col[l]ier", "married", born in "England“, and residing at “Wood River Coal” in Madison Co., Illinois. This individual may be the same “Samuel Cartlidge” who married “Elizabeth Brough” in 1852 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. For instance: 1) Samuel is listed as a “Collier” in his 1852 marriage record, similarly as a “Coal Miner” in the 1860 U.S. Census, and again as a “Col[l]ier” in the above shown 1863 record; 2) Samuel is listed in the above shown 1863 record as still being officially “married”--which would fit into the facts that Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel on 9 February 1864 and stated in May 1864 that he had earlier “left her” on 25 February 1861 and “has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman”; and 3) Samuel and Elizabeth are listed as residing in Upper Alton, Madison Co., Illinois, in the 1860 U.S. Census, while Samuel is listed as residing in Wood River Coal, Madison, Co., Illinois, in the above shown 1863 record, and the travel distance between Upper Alton and Wood River is only about four miles.
On February 9, 1864, "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartlidge" filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge in Madison County, Illinois. In May 1864, Elizabeth's court record stated that her reasons for requesting a divorce from Samuel included: "That on or about the 15th day of February A.D. 1853 she [Elizabeth] was lawfully married to one Samuel Cartlidge [which marriage actually took place on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's church in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England] and lived with him discharging all her duties as a faithful prudent and affectionate wife, until the 25th of February AD 1861 at which time without any just cause or provocations the said defendant [Samuel] left her and has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman. ...[And] that the said defendant has willfully deserted and absented himself from" her "for now these 2 years and that she had one living child by said defendant, to wit, Josephine Cartlidge who is 3 years old, and that the said defendant has made no provisions for her or said child for said 3 years and is fully determined never to live with" her "again under any status or circumstances".
Samuel and Elizabeth Cartlidge departed from England on 25 May 1856 and arrived in Boston 30 June 1856 on the ship Horizon with her brother Thomas and his wife Jane Patterson and children.
The US Census, dated 11 July 1860, Upper Alton, Madison, Illinois, USA, states:
Samuel Carthaledge, 28, Male, Coal Miner, birthplace: England
Elizabeth, 26, Female, birthplace: EnglandSamuel Cartlidge is not in the 1870 census for Illinois, WY or UT. The 1870 census reads that Elizabeth had married Enoch Tipton and the family then consisted of Josephine age 9 and Eva age 2.
In May 1864, Elizabeth Brough--who married Enoch Tipton on 20 February 1864--stated that on "25th of February AD 1861" Samuel Cartlidge had "absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman." Based on Elizabeth's statement, Samuel Cartlidge possibly died in England sometime after May 1864.
History of Elizabeth Brough (1834-1896) and her two Husbands: Samuel Cartlidge and Enoch Tipton. Originally written by Lezlie Ann Anderson and John M. Broughin July 2004; updated by R. Clayton Brough in May 2021.
Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 to Richard Brough and Mary Horleston in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, England. She was christened on 1 June 1834 in St. John's Parish Church (of England), Lane End, Longton. In 1840, Elizabeth Brough's father, Richard Brough, had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (L.D.S. Church), and when Elizabeth was 13 years old she decided to join her father's new-found religion and became the first child of Richard Brough and Mary Horleston to join the L.D.S. Church. Elizabeth was baptized into the L.D.S. Church on 17 May 1847 in the L.D.S. Longton Branch.
On 25 January 1852, Elizabeth married Samuel Cartlidge in St. Peter, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Samuel Cartlidge was christened in 1832 in Longton, Staffordshire). By 1856, she and Samuel, along with her older brother Thomas Brough and his wife Jean (Jane) Paterson and their two children, prepared to leave their native England to emigrate to America, where they wanted to join the rest of the L.D.S. "Saints" in Utah.
On 25 May 1856, Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, along with Thomas Brough and Jane and their two children, left on the ship Horizon, from Liverpool, England. The Horizon was commanded by a Captain Reid, and the "Mormon company" aboard this vessel was under the direction of Edward Martin. Aboard the Horizon there were 692 adults, 136 children and 26 infants, totaling 854 passengers. Thomas and Jane and their children-and possibly Elizabeth and Samuel-paid their own fares and were therefore booked as ordinary passengers, while the majority of the Mormon immigrants aboard were funded by the Perpetual Emigration Fund of the L.D.S. Church. The ship Horizon reached Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, on 30 June 1856.
Shortly after arriving in the northeastern United States, Thomas's money ran out, and he and Jane were forced to stop in Pennsylvania where Thomas then worked just long enough in the surrounding coal mines to obtain enough money to get him and his family to Madison County, Illinois. It is possible that Elizabeth and Samuel went with Thomas Brough and his family to Pennsylvania because Samuel Cartlidge and Thomas Brough were both described as "Coal Miners" in the 1860 Census.
By the middle of 1857, Thomas and Jane Brough had settled in, Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. There Thomas rented a farm, and for the next seven years, from 1857 to 1864, he grew corn and raised hogs and other farm animals. Also in 1857, Elizabeth and Samuel moved to Illinois, where their first child, Mary Jane, was born on 14 December 1857 in Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Unfortunately, Mary Jane's health was very poor and she died the following year, in 1858.
In 1860, Elizabeth and Samuel Cartlidge were living in the same area of Illinois as was Thomas and Jane Brough. According to the 1860 Census, both families were living in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois on 11 July 1860. Two months after the Census was taken, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, Josephine Cartlidge, on 7 September 1860, in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. Unfortunately, in February 1861, Samuel deserted his wife and daughter and reportedly returned to England. On 9 February 1864, Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge. (Note: There is no record of Samuel Cartlidge ever joining the LDS Church.)
On 20 February 1864, Elizabeth married Enoch Tipton in Madison County, Illinois. (Enoch Tipton was born in 1835 in Asterley, Pontesbury, Shroprshire, England, and baptized into the L.D.S. Church in April 1854. Enoch and his brother, Elijah, and Elijah's wife Emma and their one-year old daughter, Sarah, came on the same ship "Horizon" as did Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge. In 1860, Enoch Tipton was residing--along with his widowed mother, Sarah Tipton--in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. In fact, it appears from the 1860 Census report that Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, Thomas Brough and Jean (Jane) Paterson, and Enoch Tipton, all lived in close proximity to each other while they resided in Bethalto, Madison, Illinois. Also, Thomas Brough and Enoch Tipton were living "next door" to each other while residing in Bethalto.)
Sometime between 1864 and 1867, Elizabeth and Enoch Tipton left Illinois for Utah. (Note: Thomas and Jane Brough made the three month trip to Utah between 15 June 1864 and 18 September 1864.) They are considered as being Mormon Pioneers because they arrived in Utah prior to the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.
Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton had their first child, Eva Nell, on 2 October 1867 in West Porterville, Utah. In 1871, Elizabeth's younger brother, Samuel Brough, had moved his wife (Elizabeth Bott) and family from Porterville to Randolph. During the summer, Samuel Brough was a farmer and brickmaker, but during the winter he went to Almy, Wyoming to work in the coal mines. Like Samuel Brough, Enoch Tipton may have also done something similar, for Enoch is listed in the 1870 Census as a "Farmer" and in the 1880 Census as a "Coal Miner." On 1 October 1872, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, William Enoch, in Almy, Wyoming.
In the mid 1870's, Elizabeth and Enoch were still residing in Randolph, where their third and last child, John Tipton, was born on 26 March 1875. Unfortunately, John died two days later on March 28.
In the 1880 Census, Elizabeth and Enoch are listed as living in Kaysville, Utah-where Enoch probably assisted Thomas and Samuel Brough at the Brough Brick Yard located in east Kaysville. Also, the 1880 Census reports that their family then consisted of three children: Josephine (Cartlidge), Eva Nell and William Enoch.
Enoch Tipton died on 21 June 1888. Elizabeth Brough Tipton died on 15 February 1896. They were both buried in the center of the Randolph City Cemetery.
Elizabeth Brough was born in Lane End, Staffordshire, England, on 17 May 1834. This location is often referred to as "Lane End, Longton". For example: "Lane End, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Confusion often arises over the location and names of Lane End and Longton. Originally they were two separate and contiguous townships which were incorporated in the Borough of Longton in 1865. Longton was adjacent to Longton Hall and encompassed the Longton Hall Colliery and Brickworks. Even in 1900 the area was mainly fields. Lane End was centered on the area around Market Street and the bottom part of Anchor Road and contained the Markets, Churches and main potworks." (Source: http://www.thepotteries.org/did_you/009.htm)
The christening of "Eliz. Brough" is listed in the parish register of St. John, Longton, Staffordshire, England (FHL Film # 1471087, Item #1), which states that she was christened on 1 June 1834 as the daughter of Richard and Mary Brough of Lane End, and that Richard Brough was a "Collier"--which occupational listing was probably a mistake based on the previous entry for another Richard Brough (married to a Jane) who was also listed as a "Collier".
In August 2007, the RBFO obtained a copy of the marriage certificate of Samuel Cartlidge and Elizabeth Brough, which stated that they were married on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's Church, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, and that at the time of their marriage, Samuel Cartlidge was of "full age" and a "Bachelor" and "Collier" and that his father was John Cartlidge (a Collier), and that Elizabeth Brough was of "full age" and a "Spinster" of "Fenton" and that her father was Richard Brough (a Brickmaker), and their marriage was witnessed by Thomas Brough and Mary Ann Brough--who were Elizabeth's brother and sister.
In the 1860 U.S. Census, "Elizabeth Carthaledge" is listed as being 26 years old (born about 1834), born in England, and residing with her husband, Samuel Carthaledge (age 29), at: Upper Alton (post office), Madison Co., Illinois.
In 1863, a “Samuel Cartlidge” was listed in the "U.S. Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863-1865“ (via Ancestry.com), which stated that he was “subject to do military duty” in “June and July, 1863” in the 12th Congressional District of Illinois--which included the counties of Clinton, Madison, Monroe, Randolph St. Clair and Washington--and that he was about "33" years old on "1st July 1863" (born about 1830), "White", a "Col[l]ier", "married", born in "England“, and residing at “Wood River Coal” in Madison Co., Illinois. This individual may be the same “Samuel Cartlidge” who married “Elizabeth Brough” in 1852 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. For instance: 1) Samuel is listed as a “Collier” in his 1852 marriage record, similarly as a “Coal Miner” in the 1860 U.S. Census, and again as a “Col[l]ier” in the above shown 1863 record; 2) Samuel is listed in the above shown 1863 record as still being officially “married”--which would fit into the facts that Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel on 9 February 1864 and stated in May 1864 that he had earlier “left her” on 25 February 1861 and “has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman”; and 3) Samuel and Elizabeth are listed as residing in Upper Alton, Madison Co., Illinois, in the 1860 U.S. Census, while Samuel is listed as residing in Wood River Coal, Madison, Co., Illinois, in the above shown 1863 record, and the travel distance between Upper Alton and Wood River is only about four miles.
On February 9, 1864, "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartlidge" filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge in Madison County, Illinois. In May 1864, Elizabeth's court record stated that her reasons for requesting a divorce from Samuel included: "That on or about the 15th day of February A.D. 1853 she [Elizabeth] was lawfully married to one Samuel Cartlidge [which marriage actually took place on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's church in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England] and lived with him discharging all her duties as a faithful prudent and affectionate wife, until the 25th of February AD 1861 at which time without any just cause or provocations the said defendant [Samuel] left her and has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman. ...[And] that the said defendant has willfully deserted and absented himself from" her "for now these 2 years and that she had one living child by said defendant, to wit, Josephine Cartlidge who is 3 years old, and that the said defendant has made no provisions for her or said child for said 3 years and is fully determined never to live with" her "again under any status or circumstances".
The marriage of "Enoch Tipton" and "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartledge" took place in Madison County, Illinois, on February 20, 1864. This marriage is listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index website (http://www.ilsos.gov/isavital/marriageSearch.do).
Information on Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton is listed in the LDS "Salt Lake Temple Records [for] Sealings for Dead Couples, Book B, 1894-1896" (FHL Special Collections Film # 184588, p.12), which states that on 14 November 1894, Elizabeth Brough was sealed to her deceased husband, Enoch Tipton, in the LDS Salt Lake Temple; that Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 in Longton, Staffordshire, England; that Enoch Tipton was born on 24 February 1835 in Shropshire, England, and died on 21 June 1888; and that Elizabeth and Enoch were sealed by Adolph Madson, and that the sealing was witnessed by George Romney and Elijah F. Sheets. Also, on December 19, 2002, Alison U.B. Allred, an RBFO Genealogist, discovered that the LDS Ward Records for Randolph, Utah (FHL US/CAN Film # 0026439), listed the birth of Elizabeth Brough Tipton as being "17 May 1834." (Elizabeth Brough's LDS baptism and endowment dates are listed in the TIB, FHL Film # 1267255.)
A "History of Elizabeth Brough Tipton," written by Delle Snowball McKinnon and obtained from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, states the following about her grave marker: Elizabeth Tipton died at Randolph, Utah, February 15, 1896. Her funeral services were held February 18, 1896. ...After many years the wood markers rotted and the sun and rain washed away the names and dates [on the original tombstones of Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton]. So the neices and nephews of this good woman decided to each help and buy markers for the graves. So today the graves of this good woman and her husband are marked by granite markers."
The tombstone of Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton in the Randolph Cemetery (Coordinate: 11-L) in Randolph, Utah, originally listed Enoch Tipton as having died in 1870. This was incorrect because Enoch died in 1888. Prior to Memorial Day in 2003, John M. Brough corrected the date, and Richard L. Brough and James H. Brough reset the tombstone.
According to Warren D. Brough, RBFO Genealogist (and published in the 1988 RBFO book, p.78), Elizabeth Brough was baptized a member of the LDS Church on 17 May 1847. This undoubtedly happened in the LDS Longton Branch of Staffordshire, England.
Elizabeth Brough spelled the surname of her first husband as "Cartlidge", as can be seen in the FHL Temple Index Bureau entry (Film # 184652, page 419) for Mary Jane Cartlidge that reads: "Mary Jane Cartlidge, born 14 Dec 1857, Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Died 1858. Sealed to Enoch Tipton [stepfather] and Elizabeth Brough (Cartlidge) Tipton on 28 February 1895. Heir: Samuel R. Brough. Proxy: Emily E. Brough." Elizabeth Brough married her second husband, Enoch Tipton, on 20 Feb 1864 in Bethalto, Madison Co., Illinois.

By 1856, she and Samuel, along with her older brother Thomas Brough and his wife Jean (Jane) Paterson and their two children, prepared to leave their native England to emigrate to America, where they wanted to join the rest of the L.D.S.

Marriage Notes for Samuel Cartlidge and Elizabeth Brough-72
In August 2007, the RBFO obtained a copy of the marriage certificate of Samuel Cartlidge and Elizabeth Brough, which stated that they were married on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's Church, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, and that at the time of their marriage, Samuel Cartlidge was of "full age" and a "Bachelor" and "Collier" and that his father was John Cartlidge (a Collier), and that Elizabeth Brough was of "full age" and a "Spinster" of "Fenton" and that her father was Richard Brough (a Brickmaker), and their marriage was witnessed by Thomas Brough and Mary Ann Brough--who were Elizabeth's brother and sister.
On February 9, 1864, "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartlidge" filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge in Madison County, Illinois. In May 1864, Elizabeth's court record stated that her reasons for requesting a divorce from Samuel included: "That on or about the 15th day of February A.D. 1853 she [Elizabeth] was lawfully married to one Samuel Cartlidge [which marriage actually took place on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's church in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England] and lived with him discharging all her duties as a faithful prudent and affectionate wife, until the 25th of February AD 1861 at which time without any just cause or provocations the said defendant [Samuel] left her and has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman. ...[And] that the said defendant has willfully deserted and absented himself from" her "for now these 2 years and that she had one living child by said defendant, to wit, Josephine Cartlidge who is 3 years old, and that the said defendant has made no provisions for her or said child for said 3 years and is fully determined never to live with" her "again under any status or circumstances".
The marriage of "Enoch Tipton" and "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartledge" took place in Madison County, Illinois, on February 20, 1864. This marriage is listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index website (http://www.ilsos.gov/isavital/marriageSearch.do).
Information on Enoch Tipton and Elizabeth Brough is listed in the LDS "Salt Lake Temple Records [for] Sealings for Dead Couples, Book B, 1894-1896" (FHL Special Collections Film # 184588, p.12), which states that on 14 November 1894, Elizabeth Brough was sealed to her deceased husband, Enoch Tipton, in the LDS Salt Lake Temple; that Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 in Longton, Staffordshire, England; that Enoch Tipton was born on 24 February 1835 in Shropshire, England, and died on 21 June 1888; and that Elizabeth and Enoch were sealed by Adolph Madson, and that the sealing was witnessed by George Romney and Elijah F. Sheets.
Enoch Tipton’s surname is “Tipton” and not “Typton”. While he was alive Enoch personally identified and signed his own surname as “Tipton”. Also, Enoch's surname is recorded as “Tipton” in the 1841 and 1851 British Census; in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 U.S. Census; in his property and warrantee deeds in Randolph, Utah, in his will, probate and burial records in Randolph, Utah, and in his LDS Church records. In addition, all available birth and christening records of Enoch’s siblings in Shropshire, England, identified their surname as “Tipton”.
The tombstone of Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton in the Randolph Cemetery (Coordinate: 11-L) in Randolph, Utah, originally listed Enoch Tipton as having died in 1870. This was incorrect because Enoch died in 1888. Prior to Memorial Day in 2003, John M. Brough corrected the date, and Richard L. Brough and James H. Brough reset the tombstone.
Research Notes on Enoch Tipton by the RBFO Research Committee, dated 2 January 2003:
RBFO genealogists have obtained the following information about Enoch Tipton:
1) Property and Warrantee Deeds from the area of Randolph, Utah, state that on "the 14th day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand and eight hundred and eighty-eight [or 14 June 1888],...Enoch Tipton and Elizabeth Tipton his wife of Randolph in the county of Rich, and Territory of Utah...[sold to] Samuel Brough of same county and territory aforesaid...thirty-six acres and one hundred and twenty square rods of ground [ in Randolph]." This indicates that Enoch Tipton was still alive in 14 June 1888.
2) Probate (#6) and Petition Records from the Rich County Clerk Office in Randolph, Utah, dated December 13, 1892, state that "Enoch Tipton died on or about June 16, 1888, that previous to his death, he being then in immediate expectation of death, he then and there in said Randolph Rich Co Utah executed and signed a will, making disposition of his property which will was duly witnessed and accompanies this petition."
3) According to the Randolph (Rich County) Court Minutes (FHL US/CAN Film # 0480877) dated December 24, 1892, "In the matter of the Will and Estate of Enoch Tipton, Deceased," William Rex testified (to which Samuel Brough and Elizabeth Brough Tipton both agreed) that Enoch Tipton died "on his homestead near Randolph, Rich County, Utah," from "intestinal trouble from lifting."
4) According to Randolph Cemetery records, Elizabeth was “buried on the north side of Enoch Tipton her husband” in Randolph, Utah. In 2003, RBFO officers corrected the tombstone inscription in the Randolph Cemetery that had earlier--and incorrectly--listed Enoch Tipton's death date as "1870". This earlier--but incorrect--death date for Enoch Tipton was mistakenly inscribed on a "replacement" tombstone during the 1900's. For instance, according to a historical account written by Delle Snowball McKinnon, entitled the "History of Elizabeth Brough Tipton" (and obtained from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers), "Elizabeth Tipton died at Randolph, Utah, February 15, 1896. Her funeral services were held February 18, 1896. ...After many years the wood markers rotted and the sun and rain washed away the names and dates [on the original tombstones of Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton]. So the neices and nephews of this good woman decided to each help and buy markers for the graves. So today [in the 1900's] the graves of this good woman and her husband are marked by granite markers."Census Records containing Enoch Tipton and family:

William Enoch, Male, 7, Son, birthplace: UtahHistory of Elizabeth Brough (1834-1896) and her two Husbands: Samuel Cartlidge and Enoch Tipton. Originally written by Lezlie Ann Anderson and John M. Broughin July 2004; updated by R. Clayton Brough in May 2021.
Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 to Richard Brough and Mary Horleston in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, England. She was christened on 1 June 1834 in St. John's Parish Church (of England), Lane End, Longton. In 1840, Elizabeth Brough's father, Richard Brough, had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (L.D.S. Church), and when Elizabeth was 13 years old she decided to join her father's new-found religion and became the first child of Richard Brough and Mary Horleston to join the L.D.S. Church. Elizabeth was baptized into the L.D.S. Church on 17 May 1847 in the L.D.S. Longton Branch.
On 25 January 1852, Elizabeth married Samuel Cartlidge in St. Peter, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Samuel Cartlidge was christened in 1832 in Longton, Staffordshire). By 1856, she and Samuel, along with her older brother Thomas Brough and his wife Jean (Jane) Paterson and their two children, prepared to leave their native England to emigrate to America, where they wanted to join the rest of the L.D.S. "Saints" in Utah.
On 25 May 1856, Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, along with Thomas Brough and Jane and their two children, left on the ship Horizon, from Liverpool, England. The Horizon was commanded by a Captain Reid, and the "Mormon company" aboard this vessel was under the direction of Edward Martin. Aboard the Horizon there were 692 adults, 136 children and 26 infants, totaling 854 passengers. Thomas and Jane and their children-and possibly Elizabeth and Samuel-paid their own fares and were therefore booked as ordinary passengers, while the majority of the Mormon immigrants aboard were funded by the Perpetual Emigration Fund of the L.D.S. Church. The ship Horizon reached Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, on 30 June 1856.
Shortly after arriving in the northeastern United States, Thomas's money ran out, and he and Jane were forced to stop in Pennsylvania where Thomas then worked just long enough in the surrounding coal mines to obtain enough money to get him and his family to Madison County, Illinois. It is possible that Elizabeth and Samuel went with Thomas Brough and his family to Pennsylvania because Samuel Cartlidge and Thomas Brough were both described as "Coal Miners" in the 1860 Census.
By the middle of 1857, Thomas and Jane Brough had settled in, Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. There Thomas rented a farm, and for the next seven years, from 1857 to 1864, he grew corn and raised hogs and other farm animals. Also in 1857, Elizabeth and Samuel moved to Illinois, where their first child, Mary Jane, was born on 14 December 1857 in Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Unfortunately, Mary Jane's health was very poor and she died the following year, in 1858.
In 1860, Elizabeth and Samuel Cartlidge were living in the same area of Illinois as was Thomas and Jane Brough. According to the 1860 Census, both families were living in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois on 11 July 1860. Two months after the Census was taken, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, Josephine Cartlidge, on 7 September 1860, in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. Unfortunately, in February 1861, Samuel deserted his wife and daughter and subsequently returned to England. On 9 February 1864, Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge. (Note: There is no record of Samuel Cartlidge ever joining the LDS Church.)
On 20 February 1864, Elizabeth married Enoch Tipton in Madison County, Illinois. (Enoch Tipton was born in 1835 in Asterley, Pontesbury, Shroprshire, England, and baptized into the L.D.S. Church in April 1854. Enoch and his brother, Elijah, and Elijah's wife Emma and their one-year old daughter, Sarah, came on the same ship "Horizon" as did Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge. In 1860, Enoch Tipton was residing--along with his widowed mother, Sarah Tipton--in Bethalto, Madison County, Illinois. In fact, it appears from the 1860 Census report that Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge, Thomas Brough and Jean (Jane) Paterson, and Enoch Tipton, all lived in close proximity to each other while they resided in Bethalto, Madison, Illinois. Also, Thomas Brough and Enoch Tipton were living "next door" to each other while residing in Bethalto.)
Sometime between 1864 and 1867, Elizabeth and Enoch Tipton left Illinois for Utah. (Note: Thomas and Jane Brough made the three month trip to Utah between 15 June 1864 and 18 September 1864.) They are considered as being Mormon Pioneers because they arrived in Utah prior to the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.
Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton had their first child, Eva Nell, on 2 October 1867 in West Porterville, Utah. In 1871, Elizabeth's younger brother, Samuel Brough, had moved his wife (Elizabeth Bott) and family from Porterville to Randolph. During the summer, Samuel Brough was a farmer and brickmaker, but during the winter he went to Almy, Wyoming to work in the coal mines. Like Samuel Brough, Enoch Tipton may have also done something similar, for Enoch is listed in the 1870 Census as a "Farmer" and in the 1880 Census as a "Coal Miner." On 1 October 1872, Elizabeth gave birth to their second child, William Enoch, in Almy, Wyoming.
In the mid 1870's, Elizabeth and Enoch were still residing in Randolph, where their third and last child, John Tipton, was born on 26 March 1875. Unfortunately, John died two days later on March 28.
In the 1880 Census, Elizabeth and Enoch are listed as living in Kaysville, Utah-where Enoch probably assisted Thomas and Samuel Brough at the Brough Brick Yard located in east Kaysville. Also, the 1880 Census reports that their family then consisted of three children: Josephine (Cartlidge), Eva Nell and William Enoch.
Enoch Tipton died on 21 June 1888. Elizabeth Brough Tipton died on 15 February 1896. They were both buried in the center of the Randolph City Cemetery.
Elizabeth Brough was born in Lane End, Staffordshire, England, on 17 May 1834. This location is often referred to as "Lane End, Longton". For example: "Lane End, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Confusion often arises over the location and names of Lane End and Longton. Originally they were two separate and contiguous townships which were incorporated in the Borough of Longton in 1865. Longton was adjacent to Longton Hall and encompassed the Longton Hall Colliery and Brickworks. Even in 1900 the area was mainly fields. Lane End was centered on the area around Market Street and the bottom part of Anchor Road and contained the Markets, Churches and main potworks." (Source: http://www.thepotteries.org/did_you/009.htm)
The christening of "Eliz. Brough" is listed in the parish register of St. John, Longton, Staffordshire, England (FHL Film # 1471087, Item #1), which states that she was christened on 1 June 1834 as the daughter of Richard and Mary Brough of Lane End, and that Richard Brough was a "Collier"--which occupational listing was probably a mistake based on the previous entry for another Richard Brough (married to a Jane) who was also listed as a "Collier".
In August 2007, the RBFO obtained a copy of the marriage certificate of Samuel Cartlidge and Elizabeth Brough, which stated that they were married on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's Church, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, and that at the time of their marriage, Samuel Cartlidge was of "full age" and a "Bachelor" and "Collier" and that his father was John Cartlidge (a Collier), and that Elizabeth Brough was of "full age" and a "Spinster" of "Fenton" and that her father was Richard Brough (a Brickmaker), and their marriage was witnessed by Thomas Brough and Mary Ann Brough--who were Elizabeth's brother and sister.
In the 1860 U.S. Census, "Elizabeth Carthaledge" is listed as being 26 years old (born about 1834), born in England, and residing with her husband, Samuel Carthaledge (age 29), at: Upper Alton (post office), Madison Co., Illinois.
In 1863, a “Samuel Cartlidge” was listed in the "U.S. Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863-1865“ (via Ancestry.com), which stated that he was “subject to do military duty” in “June and July, 1863” in the 12th Congressional District of Illinois--which included the counties of Clinton, Madison, Monroe, Randolph St. Clair and Washington--and that he was about "33" years old on "1st July 1863" (born about 1830), "White", a "Col[l]ier", "married", born in "England“, and residing at “Wood River Coal” in Madison Co., Illinois. This individual may be the same “Samuel Cartlidge” who married “Elizabeth Brough” in 1852 in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. For instance: 1) Samuel is listed as a “Collier” in his 1852 marriage record, similarly as a “Coal Miner” in the 1860 U.S. Census, and again as a “Col[l]ier” in the above shown 1863 record; 2) Samuel is listed in the above shown 1863 record as still being officially “married”--which would fit into the facts that Elizabeth filed for divorce from Samuel on 9 February 1864 and stated in May 1864 that he had earlier “left her” on 25 February 1861 and “has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman”; and 3) Samuel and Elizabeth are listed as residing in Upper Alton, Madison Co., Illinois, in the 1860 U.S. Census, while Samuel is listed as residing in Wood River Coal, Madison, Co., Illinois, in the above shown 1863 record, and the travel distance between Upper Alton and Wood River is only about four miles.
On February 9, 1864, "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartlidge" filed for divorce from Samuel Cartlidge in Madison County, Illinois. In May 1864, Elizabeth's court record stated that her reasons for requesting a divorce from Samuel included: "That on or about the 15th day of February A.D. 1853 she [Elizabeth] was lawfully married to one Samuel Cartlidge [which marriage actually took place on 25 January 1852 at St. Peter's church in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England] and lived with him discharging all her duties as a faithful prudent and affectionate wife, until the 25th of February AD 1861 at which time without any just cause or provocations the said defendant [Samuel] left her and has ever since remained absent and has absconded and gone to England and is now living with another woman. ...[And] that the said defendant has willfully deserted and absented himself from" her "for now these 2 years and that she had one living child by said defendant, to wit, Josephine Cartlidge who is 3 years old, and that the said defendant has made no provisions for her or said child for said 3 years and is fully determined never to live with" her "again under any status or circumstances".
The marriage of "Enoch Tipton" and "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartledge" took place in Madison County, Illinois, on February 20, 1864. This marriage is listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index website (http://www.ilsos.gov/isavital/marriageSearch.do).
Information on Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton is listed in the LDS "Salt Lake Temple Records [for] Sealings for Dead Couples, Book B, 1894-1896" (FHL Special Collections Film # 184588, p.12), which states that on 14 November 1894, Elizabeth Brough was sealed to her deceased husband, Enoch Tipton, in the LDS Salt Lake Temple; that Elizabeth Brough was born on 17 May 1834 in Longton, Staffordshire, England; that Enoch Tipton was born on 24 February 1835 in Shropshire, England, and died on 21 June 1888; and that Elizabeth and Enoch were sealed by Adolph Madson, and that the sealing was witnessed by George Romney and Elijah F. Sheets. Also, on December 19, 2002, Alison U.B. Allred, an RBFO Genealogist, discovered that the LDS Ward Records for Randolph, Utah (FHL US/CAN Film # 0026439), listed the birth of Elizabeth Brough Tipton as being "17 May 1834." (Elizabeth Brough's LDS baptism and endowment dates are listed in the TIB, FHL Film # 1267255.)
A "History of Elizabeth Brough Tipton," written by Delle Snowball McKinnon and obtained from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, states the following about her grave marker: Elizabeth Tipton died at Randolph, Utah, February 15, 1896. Her funeral services were held February 18, 1896. ...After many years the wood markers rotted and the sun and rain washed away the names and dates [on the original tombstones of Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton]. So the neices and nephews of this good woman decided to each help and buy markers for the graves. So today the graves of this good woman and her husband are marked by granite markers."
The tombstone of Elizabeth Brough and Enoch Tipton in the Randolph Cemetery (Coordinate: 11-L) in Randolph, Utah, originally listed Enoch Tipton as having died in 1870. This was incorrect because Enoch died in 1888. Prior to Memorial Day in 2003, John M. Brough corrected the date, and Richard L. Brough and James H. Brough reset the tombstone.
According to Warren D. Brough, RBFO Genealogist (and published in the 1988 RBFO book, p.78), Elizabeth Brough was baptized a member of the LDS Church on 17 May 1847. This undoubtedly happened in the LDS Longton Branch of Staffordshire, England.
Elizabeth Brough spelled the surname of her first husband as "Cartlidge", as can be seen in the FHL Temple Index Bureau entry (Film # 184652, page 419) for Mary Jane Cartlidge that reads: "Mary Jane Cartlidge, born 14 Dec 1857, Bellville, St. Clair, Illinois. Died 1858. Sealed to Enoch Tipton [stepfather] and Elizabeth Brough (Cartlidge) Tipton on 28 February 1895. Heir: Samuel R. Brough. Proxy: Emily E. Brough." Elizabeth Brough married her second husband, Enoch Tipton, on 20 Feb 1864 in Bethalto, Madison Co., Illinois.

(Note: There is no record of Samuel Cartlidge ever joining the LDS Church.)
On 20 February 1864, Elizabeth married Enoch Tipton in Madison County, Illinois. (Enoch Tipton was born in 1835 in Asterley, Pontesbury, Shroprshire, England, and baptized into the L.D.S. Church in April 1854. Enoch and his brother, Elijah, and Elijah's wife Emma and their one-year old daughter, Sarah, came on the same ship "Horizon" as did Elizabeth Brough and Samuel Cartlidge.

Marriage Notes for Enoch Tipton and Elizabeth Brough-72
The marriage of "Enoch Tipton" and "Elizabeth [Brough] Cartledge" took place in Madison County, Illinois, on February 20, 1864. This marriage is listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index website (http://www.ilsos.gov/isavital/marriageSearch.do).
In December 2012, the BFO obtained a copy of the birth certificate of "Robert Evans" from England, which stated that he was born on 5 January 1844 in Lane End [Longton], Staffordshire, and that his father was Robert Evans, a Collier, and his mother was "Emma Evans formerly Almarack", and that the informant of his birth was "Robert Evans [the] Father [of] High Street, Lane End", Staffordshire.
The christening of "Robert Evans" is listed in the IGI (via the LDS Extraction Program, FHL Film # 1471085, Item #7 page, 103), which states that he was christened on 28 January 1844 at St. James, Longton, Staffordshire, and that his parents were Robert and Emma Evans of High Street, and that Robert Evans was a "Miner".

In February 2013, the Brough Family Organization (BFO) obtained a copy of the birth certificate of Samuel Brough from England, which stated that he was born on 16 September 1839 in Lane End, and that his father was Richard Brough, a Brick Maker of Sutherland Road, Lane End, and that his mother was "Mary Brough formerly Holliston". Interestingly, Samuel Brough's live LDS Endowment record (recorded by clerk Joseph F. Smith, FHL Special Collections Film # 183405, pages 90-91) took place on 2 February 1867 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah, and stated that he was born on 17 September 1839 in Longton, Staffordshire, England, and that he was baptized into the LDS Church on 7 April 1856 as the son of Richard Brough and Mary "Allison" (mistaken for "Hollison").
Samuel Brough was born in Lane End, Staffordshire, England, on 16 September 1839. This location is often referred to as "Lane End, Longton". For example: "Lane End, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire: Confusion often arises over the location and names of Lane End and Longton. Originally they were two separate and contiguous townships which were incorporated in the Borough of Longton in 1865. Longton was adjacent to Longton Hall and encompassed the Longton Hall Colliery and Brickworks. Even in 1900 the area was mainly fields. Lane End was centered on the area around Market Street and the bottom part of Anchor Road and contained the Markets, Churches and main potworks." (Source: http://www.thepotteries.org/did_you/009.htm)
The christening of Samuel Brough is listed in the parish register of St. John, Longton, Staffordshire, England (FHL Film # 1471087, Item #1), which states that he was christened on 13 October 1839 as the son of Richard and Mary Brough of Lane End, and that Richard Brough was a "Brickmaker".
Samuel Brough was baptized a member of the LDS Church on 1 May 1857 by Thomas Orgill of the LDS Longton Branch, Staffordshire, England. FHL Film # 0087016.

According to the 1851 British Census (taken on 30 March 1851), Samuel Brough was working as a "Coal Miner" when he was only "11" years of age.
Much of the information for this family group record (on the family of Samuel Brough and Elizabeth Bott) comes from genealogical material supplied by Ronald D. Rex to R. Clayton Brough in July 2004.
History of Samuel Brough
History of Samuel Brough and Elizabeth Bott. Edited by Ronald Dee Rex, R. Clayton Brough and John M. Brough, June 2004. Updated by R. Clayton Brough in September 2020. Edited from material that originally appeared in the 1999 book by Ronald Dee Rex (pp. 65-69): "History, Descendants, & Ancestry of William Rex & Mary Elizabeth Brough of Randolph, Utah".
Samuel Brough was born 16 September 1839 to Richard Brough and Mary Horleston in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, England. He was christened on 19 October 1839 in St. John's Parish (Church of England), Lane End, Longton. As a young man, Samuel worked in the coal mines around Longton and practiced the trades of masonry and carpentry. In fact, British census records state that Samuel was working as a "Coal Miner" when he was only "11" years of age. As a young man, Samuel also gained a good education through extensive reading.
On 7 February 1858, Samuel Brough married Elizabeth Bott in Edensor, Staffordshire. Elizabeth was born on 9 March 1838 in Lane End, Longton, Staffordshire, the oldest of nine children born to Benjamin Bott and Elizabeth Abbott. Prior to their marriage, Elizabeth had worked in the Staffordshire potteries in the china-painting department. When Elizabeth started keeping company with Samuel, her parents bitterly opposed it because they belonged to the Church of England and Samuel's father, Richard Brough, was a "Mormon"--having joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or "LDS." or "Mormon" Church) in 1840--and Samuel and Elizabeth were actively investigating the LDS Church. Samuel and Elizabeth joined the LDS Church on the same day, both being baptized on 1 May 1857 by Thomas Orgill of the L.D.S. Longton Branch. After Elizabeth joined the LDS Church, her parents turned her away from their home, but in later years she and her siblings often communicated by letters which she sent from Utah or they sent from England.
On February 1, 1858, Samuel Brough and Elizabeth Bott were privately married in the home of Thomas Orgill by William Franklin Pace Sr., a LDS missionary serving in England (during 1856-1858). Then on February 7, 1858 they were married in the parish church of Edensor, Staffordshire. On February 24, 1861, Samuel was made an "Elder" in the LDS Priesthood at the LDS Longton Branch.
After Samuel and Elizabeth were married in February 1858, Samuel built one room onto his father's house. They lived in this one room until they came to America. Four children were born to them in England: Mary Elizabeth (born 20 December 1858), Jane (born 22 February 1860), Samuel (born 9 September 1861) and Eliza (born 3 March 1863).
Samuel and Elizabeth and their four children left Liverpool on 30 May 1863 on the ship "Cynosure" and came with a company of 754 Saints under the direction of David M. Stewart. They arrived in New York Harbor on July 19. While on board ship there was an epidemic of measles. Their little son, Samuel, became very sick with the measles. Several times they were afraid he would die and be buried at sea. He finally improved, but never was very healthy after this.
Soon after arriving in New York, Samuel and Elizabeth and their four children started westward, traveling part of the way to Florence, Nebraska in cattle cars. They crossed the Missouri River near Florence on the ferry. Shortly after arriving in Nebraska, Samuel died on 7 August 1863 with complications from the measles. He was buried in the Mormon cemetery in a dry-goods box at Florence, Nebraska. He was dressed in a little colored nightgown. Elizabeth took the crepe from her bonnet (that she had worn to her father's funeral the year before) to stuff the cracks in the box.
They remained in Florence until 15 August 1863, waiting for the pipes for the Salt Lake Tabernacle organ to arrive. They then started across the plains in the Samuel D. White Company. Several families were allotted to each wagon. A bedridden woman rode in their wagon. Elizabeth walked much of the way and carried her baby, 5 month old Liza. Mary walked part way but Jane rode because she was a cripple.
Samuel walked and drove a team all the way to Utah. Every morning and evening they had company prayers and everyone was supposed to attend. The company stopped one-half day each week for the women to wash. They washed their clothes in the creek (without soap) and hung them on bushes to dry.
Snow had fallen before they reached Salt Lake City on 15 October 1863, making it cold and miserable. They lived in Bountiful the first winter and in the spring, moved to Porterville in Morgan County. They lived in a dugout in the hillside. It was lined with adobes, and there was a fireplace in one end. In the spring when the snow started to melt, the frost came out of the ground and the water washed down the chimney and part of the wall caved in. A little daughter, Emma, was born in this dugout 25 March 1865. Mother and baby had to move to the Thomas Brough home. This same year (1865) little Eliza died. They watched her all night before she died in the light of the fireplace. During her illness, Eliza had cried for a potato but there were none available. Later in the time of plenty, this death grieved Elizabeth because she felt her little girl had died of starvation. The family was able to move into a two-room house and it was here their son, William Thomas, was born on 11 December 1866. The following February, they went to Salt Lake City, to the old Endowment House and took out their endowments. In February 1867, the Union Pacific Railroad was starting down the Weber Canyon. They moved to Henefer and found employment. Prudence was born in Henefer on 24 September 1868. Samuel then moved his family back to Porterville and another son, George Henry, was born on 9 July 1870.
In May 1870, Samuel went to Randolph and built a two-room log house. It was located on the corner of Field Street and Second East. He went to Laketown, Utah, for a grist of flour and bran and then returned to Porterville to harvest his crops and move his family to Randolph. The trip to Randolph took Samuel quite some time and before he returned, Elizabeth feared for his life. She was sitting by the side of the house crying when she saw Samuel walking over the hill.
When Samuel's family left Porterville, Samuel sold his farm to his older brother, Thomas Brough, and their house to Charles White. With a horse, a pair of oxen and a prairie schooner, Samuel, Elizabeth and their six children left for Randolph. Ducks, pigs, chickens and all their belongings were packed in the wagon, which also had a box on the back. Their three cows along with some other cattle were driven. It took a week to make the trip. It was after dark when they reached Big Creek. The wagon got stuck in the mud and they all walked into Randolph and stayed at Samuel Henderson's while Mr. Henderson went back to help Samuel get the wagon out. It was near midnight when they finally reached the little log house. Samuel had gathered the chips from the hewed logs and piled them in the center of the room. A fire was soon started in the fireplace in the west end of the room. At the time, it did not have any doors or windows in it.
Elizabeth and the children stayed and milked and fed the cows, pigs, chickens and ducks while Samuel went to Almy, Wyoming to work in the coal mines during the winter. In the spring Samuel cleared a piece of land and planted grain and had a small vegetable garden. They gathered hay from the "bottoms" east of town for the cattle. They cut the hay with a sickle and raked it with a rake not much larger than a garden rake. They carried their water from "Little Creek" for household purposes until a well could be dug-they called it the "Old Windless." They still had hard times as their crops were not certain. Samuel was a very good farmer and worked at this in the summertime, and worked in the coal mines in Almy during the winter.
Three more children, Hannah (born 27 May 1872), Benjamin Richard (born 6 July 1874) and Adria (born 17 July 1876) were born in Randolph. This made a total of eleven children, nine of which were living at the time. Elizabeth and her daughters, Mary Elizabeth and Jane, were among the first members of the LDS Relief Society in Randolph.
Samuel did much for the building of Randolph. He made the brick for most of the brick homes there-including the LDS Church and the old high school. He also had a lime kiln. They used lime in plaster. He also surveyed a water ditch without any instruments and in many ways helped conditions in Randolph.
In addition to manufacturing bricks in Randolph, Samuel also assisted his brother, Thomas, in making bricks in Porterville. Also, Samuel and Thomas operated a brickyard in east Kaysville between about 1867 and 1881. However, Samuel moved to Randolph in 1870, and likely didn't have much to do with the Brough Brick Yard after he had moved to Randolph. This large brickyard was known as the "Brough Brick Yard on Cemetery Street," Today, the ground on which the Brough Brick Yard was once located is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is occupied by the LDS Kaysville Crestwood Wardhouse--located at 1039 East Crestwood Road, Kaysville, Utah.
Elizabeth was always good to those in need and without mothers. She took Lena Hanney and Opal Brough into her home after their mothers died. Bessie Brough also lived with her for awhile. She was always clean and neatly dressed. She always had pretty bonnets that tied under her chin. The way she tied her aprons was to tie the bow in front so she could get the bows even and then slip the bow around to the back. She never regretted the sacrifices and hardships she went through to come to Zion.
Samuel was a long time building his new brick home. Money was scarce and he would have to stop for awhile, harvest his crops, and sell some to obtain more money. He made his own brick, lime, and did the mason work on his home-the first brick home to be built in Randolph. These bricks were packed in straw and hauled to the building site. The family was very proud of this new home. Samuel had a lot of grandsons and furnished employment for most of them while they grew up. He surveyed the canal that runs west of town-the one you cross on the way to the cemetery. He had only a spirit level and a foot board. Samuel experimented with all kinds of grass and hay seeds to find out which grew the best. He had a herd of cattle and many horses.
Samuel Brough was a religious man and attended to his LDS Church affairs with real dedication. He died on 29 May 1911 at the age of 71, leaving Elizabeth a widow for eleven years. Elizabeth was the only one of her family to join the LDS, but she always defended her faith and encouraged her children and other Latter-day Saints to remain faithful to their beliefs. She died on 23 November 1921 at the age of 83. Both are buried in the southeast corner of the Randolph City Cemetery.
Elizabeth Bott (Brough) was listed as a member of the LDS Church in the LDS Longton Branch, Staffordshire, England. FHL Film # 0087016. However, no specific date is listed in this record for her baptism. However, on 2 February 1867, Elizabeth Brough performed her live LDS Endowment (as recorded by clerk Joseph F. Smith, FHL Special Collections Film # 183405, pages 90-91) in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah, and stated that she was born on 9 March 1838 in Staffordshire, England, was baptized into the LDS Church on 3 May 1857, and was the daughter of Benjamin Bott and Elizabeth Abbotts.
