Mary was the third of eight children born to George and Rebecca Harrison Woodcock. Mary and Richard were married in England and joined the LDS Church there. They left England bound for Utah on May 14, 1862 on the ship "William Tapscott" along with their five children. They arrived in New York and traveled by train as far as Florence, Nebraska. From here they joined the Ansel P. Harmon Company. During their journey across the plains their company was plagued by many illnesses, including measles, and many lives were lost. Among them was Mary, who died near Casper, Wyoming.
