Susannah died at age 29 in 1834; her sister Charlotte died in the same month (perhaps from a disease?). Thomas was 7 years old.

John's brother-in-law, John Burrup, had recently married Ann Phillips. In 1835, John married Ann's younger sister, Susannah.

Two (or three?) children died as infants. Thomas spent at least some time being raised by his grandmother, Susannah Burrup, and his uncle John; Thomas is listed in their household in the 1841 census. John and Susannah Green raised sisters Ann and Charlotte.
Susannah's older brother, Edward, was a preacher for the local United Brethren church. In 1840, Wilford Woodruff arrived in the area as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and taught the church. Over 300 members of the United Brethren converted in 1840, including the Green, Burrup, and Phillips families.
Migration to Illinois and Utah
John and Susannah immigrated to the United States in 1841 with Edward Phillips and other members of the Phillips and Burrup families. They lived with the Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois, before their eventual migration to Utah.
