Mary was born in Worcestershire, England. During her childhood, most of her family converted to the Mormon religion after listening to missionaries who had traveled from the US to England. In 1863, when Mary was 19, she immigrated to the US with her mother, her brother James and her sister Susan. They sailed to New York and then made their way to Florence, Nebraska, where they joined the wagon train headed for Utah, led by the Daniel D. McArthur Company.
They settled in Grafton, Utah. Mary's older brothers Joseph and Henry and her older sister Sarah had preceded them to Utah.
