In 1863, the Harveys boarded the Amazon, a ship bound for New York from London. They brought with them their three children, Hannah and Naomi Brendham, and young adult nieces Matilda and Rachel Smuin (daughters of Thomas Smuin). Charles Dickens interviewed George Q. Cannon about the emigrants and published some thoughts on their journey.
In 1868, Daniel and Hannah's niece, Ellen Wooton, age 18, immigrated to Utah with some extended family members. A few months after her arrival, she married Daniel Harvey as his first polygamous wife.
